Hotel Romantico 5 Sentidos, Menorca
Basic lodging on the edge of the Old Town with comfortable rooms and a simple breakfast buffet
Overview
Hotel Romántico Los 5 Sentidos is a fairly basic property offering a comfortable place to stay and enjoy breakfast, with a concept that centers on the five senses. There are five rooms with simple furnishings and floor heating, keeping the hotel small and quiet, though it's on a busier intersection. From the hotel, you can walk to the main city sites in about 10 minutes or drive to the beach in only five minutes. The hotel's service is highly rated, with its warm, welcoming, and accommodating staff. Only children over 12 can stay at the hotel, so this hotel is unsuitable for you if you travel with smaller children.
Kimkim's Take
Pros
- The hotel follows a sensory theme, hoping to give guests the complete Menorcan experience through aspects like fragrant orange trees, city views, and heated flooring.
- Guests can enjoy a light breakfast buffet in a charming little dining space.
- Though a standard hotel without many amenities or perks, the property has exceptionally kind staff and provides a comfortable stay.
- Because the hotel isn't in the very center of the historic core, there's street parking close to the building.
Cons
- The hotel doesn't quite live up to its sensory theme (all rooms feel the same) but still provides a restful stay.
- Though still just a 10-minute walk from the main city sites, the hotel is farther from the Old Town than other options and along a busy roundabout intersection.
- The rooms are on the small side and rather minimalist.
- The upper floors can only be accessed by stairs.
