Casa Albertí Boutique Hotel

Wonderful stay at the Can Alberti! Beautiful, quiet, immaculately clean room. Delicious breakfast with many choices - including local delicacies. An online map guide - for all of Menorca - provided in advance of my trip; every recommendation was top notch! The hotel is a very comfortable stately home with regularly updated art installations. Can Alberti's team, led by Sonia, the Director, are both professional and welcoming -- and the hotel location is ideal for exploring Mahon and northeast & central Menorca. Don't miss the outstanding Museum of Menorca - just a few steps from the Can Alberti - and pretty Fornells (an easy trip by bus or car for lunch and swimming, kayaking etc.). I can't wait to stay at Can Alberti again - hopefully soon!

There were elements of this hotel that we were pleased with. It was good to be in the centre for the Fiesta weekend and the staff were pleasant, particularly the lovely girl who prepared and served breakfast. Having access to the coffee machine was also a plus. However the serious downside was our room, the deluxe double with patio. It felt like a dull basement with little brightness getting in as the patio doors led to a tiny enclosed area. There was a mugginess which got worse after a very heavy downpour during our four days and that night we tossed and turned. In the morning we asked if we asked if we could have clean sheets but were told NO, only for stays of five days or more and were given two clean pillow slips to change ourselves. There were no bedside tables and the lamp switches were inaccessible from the bed. The kettle was in the dark wardrobe (no where else for it to go!) very awkward. We discovered there was a light switch in the corridor outside our room so after a couple of days we were able to make it safer to access our room which had two st eps as you entered and was dangerous in the dark. This light should either be on permanently or automatic with sensor. This was a special occasion (anniversary & birthday) which is why we chose this expensive hotel and felt disappointed. I reminded them of the occasion again and we were allowed to help ourselves to a drink from the honesty bar. Not quite the same as being greeted with a bottle of cava in the room we have experienced elsewhere.
