Hotel Port Ciutadella

We stayed the second week of October and had some fantastic weather. The hotel location is perfect as is the staff and accommodation, Our only issue was the sub standard food served in the evenings in the restaurant. I have to mention some of the excellent staff this hotel has , Reception ,Judith and Melanie. Bar , Juan. Restaurant, Anastasia and Paqui. Over all we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel ...just a shame about the food ..

The hotel is modern and spotlessly clean, the maids clean your room and leave fresh towels everyday. Our room was very spacious with lots of cupboard space and a bonus of a free safe. There was a fridge and coffee and tea making facilities in the room, which was useful. The breakfast and buffet at night had lots of choice and would suit most tastes, and Domi the show chef was very friendly and helpful, a real character with a good sense of humour. Anastasia one of the waitresses was always polite, and very friendly and professional too, hence the mention here. She made mealtimes special for us. We did quite a lot of exploring of the Island,and used the buses to get around, not expensive and they go from two main parts of Cuitadella, La Pau and the main one in the square by the castle, check the timetables as certain bus stops go to certain areas only, and run different times at the weekends. Cuitadella is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel, but remember they have a siesta between 2-5pm so most places close in that time, including supermarkets and some restaurants. We went in October, so not sure if this happens in the height of summer or not. Lots of places around the island close up at the end of Septemeber, so it was a little unusual visiting some of the smaller villages and nothing being open. So did not really see those at their best. There is a small beach by the hotel, but didn't see anyone using it, we went to Cala Galdana on the bus and the beach there was amazing. So a summary of the hotel would be in my opinion be classed as a smaller boutique style hotel, there is a gym, indoor pool and a small bar, it is surrounded by roads but they are not busy and did not bother us. When you check out though, remember you will be charged tourism tax which is 4 euros each plus Vat.

The staff on reception were very helpful. The breakfast was very good. The evening buffet was good, but not very good. There was a wide selection of dishes but not all were well-cooked. The outdoor pool was very cool so the sea was more inviting. The city of Ciutadella is beautiful and so is the coast walk into the city.
