Dor Hotel

This hotel was in a good position, and very small and friendly. The rooms are a bit basic but you don't spend much time in there anyway. However, there have been some changes since the last reviewer wrote their piece! We did not get a washbasin with marble surround - ours was just bog-standard fixed to the wall and our toiletries had to go on the floor! Breakfast was not taken by the pool or bar, but downstairs in a cellar-like breakfast room with no windows. A bit depressing.Coffee was not freshly-made and you had to get your own from a machine. The hot buffet was fine and there was a good array of cereals, cakes, cold meat etc but no bread rolls and toast was do-it-yourself. Staff were friendly and helpful but there was no functioning tv lounge ("our 'SKY' card has expired") On no less than two occasions the bar ran out of beer! \How, we couldnt understand, as the hotel was less than half full ! However, the d'Or is in a brilliant position for accessing the local hostelries, but very noisy at night from 'The Square'. We did ask for a quiet room in advance, but don't think they have any ! One bonus was free internet access for all for a computer in the bar, so I was able to keep in touch with my young son at home by email. I would stay there again, but be prepared for a very low-key experience.

This property is rated 2/3 star but I would rate it 3 *, and I have to say we could not fault it. Me and my mum stayed for a weekend here and our room was really clean - although on the small side, but I had a look in some empty rooms and they were much bigger. Location is central in cala d'or and not too far from anywhere. Breakfast was very good with a selection of cereals, fruit, cakes, crossiants ( which one morning we got them hot from the oven!) and you had fried eggs, bacon, beans and sausages - not the hot dog ones either ! Pool area and tidy and loungers had padded cushions on them, which you don't even get in some 4 star hotels. One thing to note is that some rooms open directly onto part of the pool area so you would not have much privacy, but other people may like this direct access. Staff were really helpful and friendly and sorted out any problems e.g two ladies changed their room 6 times as they were not happy with as a few rooms were damp. Don't worry about this though as the reason some were damp was due to the hotel being closed up for the winter and a few had not been aired properly. Our room was fine as were other guests. I would definately stay here again.
