A clean, comfortable and basic hotel that has been taken over by a nearby restaurant 100 metres away where a simple breakfast is served outside overlooking the marina. Rooms are clean but no frills, the pool is lovely and there's a pool bar. We stayed in the annexe and had a room with a small balcony. Reception and cleaning staff... More

My mother & myself arrived here on the afternoon of the 10th July 2011. We went to the so called 'reception desk' to check in. The male receptionist was on the phone & didn't even acknowledge our arrival he just kept us waiting till he finished his phone call with not even a hint of eye contact. We were given... More

We have stayed in this hostel on at least 8 occasions. We have always loved the simplicity of it, the quaintness and peacefulness. This time it was already quite different. The people we knew and recognised and were a big part of the Nereida had gone :( the loss of the personal touch was already evident on booking in.) Gone... More

Praise: My girlfriend and I loved Hostal Nereida (aka Hostal De Luxe Varadero) and highly recommend it for independent travellers, though I am sure it will suit everyone preferring basic accommodation. It was very peaceful, clean and well maintained. The manager and owner were both very welcoming, friendly and helpful, as was the chambermaid who made our beds and supplied... More

Staying at the Hostal Nereida overlooking the pretty harbour of Porto Petro gives an idea of what it must have been like in Majorca in the days before the tourism boom. Once you have grown used to its rustic rooms with ancient plumbing and lack of air conditioning,... More

My husband and I have just returned from a weeks holiday at the Nereida Hostal and had a fantastic time. The hotel is immaculately clean and the staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful and welcoming. The hotel is a basic and retro (in a good way), but we didn't expect very much and were pleasantly suprised. The beer in the bar... More

Nice small hotel run by Gabrielle and his nephew who were allways more than helpfull. Rooms were basic but clean,the broken toilet seat was not replaced while we were there. Room had a balcony which was great with a partial sea view, was on it quite often in the very early hours trying to cool down as the rooms were... More

My Wife and I returned to Porto Petro and the Nereida after a gap over 20 years and little had changed that mattered. Porto Petro remains a typical fishing village with a mix of fishing and leisure craft in the harbour. Hostal Nereida has changed little.still immaculate and continues under the control of Gabrielle ably assisted by his Nephew Antonnio.... More

Pros: - Bargain! - Breakfast! - continental and plenty to choose from - Spacious room - Quite clean - new towels and cleaners in every day - Old man Nereida... More
