My husband and I cannot say enough about this hotel. Beautiful location and surroundings, the staff and the Manager make you feel so welcomed and special. Breakfast was great, we chose to eat dinner at the hotel restaurant one evening which was also very good. So many details taken care of at this place - we will be back!

The Faustino Gran is a beautiful property, with lovely staff. But it was let down by a consistently chaotic breakfast service, and a food a beverage offering that generally did not live up to the price-point or what you would generally expect from a R&C hotel. The breakfast service was understaffed for the number of guests, making it consistently hard to get seated and order a coffee, and on more than one occasion hard to get a table prepared with cutlery or a menu. This was consistently the case over a five night stay - we decided to skip breakfast on the last morning because (despite our lovely waitresses) it just took too long every day previously. We had high expectations of dinner, which we booked on our first night, but despite the lovely staff and setting we were very disappointed by the standard of food - far from good enough for the price and out of sync with the generally excellent standard in Ciutadela. Rice was seriously undercooked, burrata salad way too cold, as if pre-prepared and taken from the fridge. Similarly, it was sometimes hard to get drinks from the cocktail bar due to staffing, no pool-side service, and the same classic cocktails varied depending on who made them. There are noise issues in the rooms facing the port, where we stayed. While the port nightlife is out of the hotel’s control, investment in better sound proofing would help. Despite these issues, the hotel is beautiful, well located, with helpful and friendly staff who did their best.

A beautiful hotel in the heart of old town, walking distance from the harbour, main square and laberinth of streets for shops, bars and restaurants. Although well occupied, we never felt crowded, with a sizeable team on hand for anything we needed, guided by a very attentive general manager. The main entrance is on a very narrow road to the front so it would have been be wise to call reception just before arrival - they would probably have greeted us to assist with the luggage before driving off to park. In truth however, we didn’t need the car during our stay, so if we had only been saying here during our week, a taxi or airport transfer would have made more sense. Overall, a fabulous experience and highly recommended - we hope to be lucky enough to return in the future.
