Youth Hostel Central Palma, Palma De Mallorca Overview

Youth Hostel Central Palma is a 2-star hotel in Palma De Mallorca, Spain. Rated 5.2 out of 10 based on 17 guest reviews.

Youth Hostel Central Palma is a budget-focused base for travelers exploring Palma de Mallorca, Spain, with a practical address at Plaza del Cuadrado 2 in the city center. The setting suits solo explorers and value-minded guests who want to be close to the historic core and keep logistics simple. Palma Cathedral is about 1.2 km away, making it easy to plan an early visit before crowds, while Old Town is roughly 0.3 km from the hostel for wandering between squares, shops, and side streets. If you prefer a longer outing, Bellver Castle is around 3.8 km and works well as a half-day trip.

Guests’ overall feedback is mixed but informative: the property holds a 5.2/10 guest rating based on 17 reviews, which suggests a stay that can feel uneven depending on expectations. Some travelers appreciate the straightforward, budget-friendly setup and the central Palma location, while others tend to notice the limitations that come with a 2-star hostel experience.

On-site, the hostel keeps things functional with free WiFi and a 24-hour front desk for late arrivals or questions at any hour. A terrace gives you a place to reset after walking around the center, and luggage storage helps if your plans start before check-in or run past check-out. Breakfast is available for a surcharge, and there’s also a concierge service for practical help. For getting around, an area shuttle is offered for a surcharge, which can be useful when you’re heading to beaches or farther viewpoints without relying on taxis.

Important information

  • Cash transactions at this property cannot exceed EUR 1000, due to national regulations. For further details, please contact the property using information in the booking confirmation.

Should You Book Youth Hostel Central Palma?

Worth considering only if you’re prioritizing location and budget over comfort, because the guest rating is low (5.2/10 from 17 reviews). If you need a more consistently satisfying stay, look elsewhere and compare options in Palma’s center.

Best For

  • Solo travelers who want a practical, central base for walking to major sights like La Lonja and Catedral de Mallorca
  • Value-minded travelers seeking free WiFi and a 24-hour front desk to keep logistics simple
  • Travelers who plan to spend most of their time exploring nearby attractions (Bellver Castle, La Lonja, Catedral de Mallorca, Paseo Marítimo) rather than using hotel facilities
  • Groups or budget travelers who may benefit from meeting rooms and optional breakfast (surcharge)

Not Ideal For

  • Guests who want a reliably positive experience, given the low overall rating (5.2/10)
  • Travelers who are sensitive to trade-offs typical of budget 2-star properties, since the review score suggests inconsistency
  • Anyone who expects breakfast to be included, since breakfast is available only for a surcharge

What to Expect

You arrive at a straightforward, central hostel setup with a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage, which helps if your plans run late. The area feels geared toward exploring, with key landmarks like La Lonja and the Catedral de Mallorca reachable on foot, and the Paseo Marítimo also within a short walk. Mornings are simple: you can grab free newspapers in the lobby, and breakfast is available if you choose to pay the surcharge. Based on the low guest rating, expect a budget-focused stay where the experience may be hit-or-miss compared with higher-rated options.

Location Intelligence

The address in Palma’s historic core (Plaza del Cuadrado 2) puts you close to La Lonja (about 1.0 km) and the Catedral de Mallorca (about 1.2 km), making sightseeing convenient. Bellver Castle (about 2.5 km) and the Paseo Marítimo (about 1.8 km) are also within reasonable walking distance, and Palma de Mallorca Airport is about 8 km away.
