Story: Checked in late at night, the place was packed with ~20 older men drinking in the bar (surprising for a "youth" hostel, rather uncomfortable). I had a bunk in a room of 4. The room was HOT when I entered because there was only one rickety fan trying to heat this sauna. I asked the keys to my locker, but they said they didn't have any because the last guest lost them, so I would have to ask the boss in the morning. The next morning, I asked the boss and he said I had to bring my bags downstairs if I wanted to store them overnight... I obliged, but was asked for a 10 euro deposit... I obliged, but the locker could fit a small duffel bag at best... Such a strange experience. I could not wait to get out of there.
Rooms: HOT with no ventilation. No ladders for bunks so I basically climbed into bed, which is not great considering its shoddy structure. Mattress was thin af. My locker did not work.
Bathrooms: One shower for 12 people, totally unacceptable. Separate facilities with just toilets onsite.
Location: "Central," but that's not necessarily a good thing. It's pretty far from beaches and sites, considering how small Palma is.
Bar: Filled with old men. No "youth" or "backpacker" aspect to it.
Staff: Nice, but barely any English. That was ok for my group, but might not be if you're ESL or don't speed Spanish.
Wifi: Did not work in the rooms at all.
Condition: The hostel is old... very old. Doors could be pushed open, but thankfully the bedroom doors were secure.
