Seth Port Mahón

Room no in good condition, damaged floor and furniture,but good location and amazing see view. I think for £149 I good expect a better room

Just returned from a week’s stay at the Seth Port Mahon, this was a return trip having stayed previously in 2017. Such a lovely hotel, which has been renovated in recent years. Our room was very comfortable with an amazing view, we were lucky to be staying in a Junior Suite, the bathroom was a definite upgrade, great shower, a good nights sleep, a coffee machine which my husband used daily, little touches, and always throughly cleaned each day. It was great to recognise so many of the hotel staff, a sign of good management at the hotel and a happy team, all of which couldn’t have been any more helpful and friendly during our stay. Silvia on reception and Gemma in the bar were particular favourites. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and throughout our stay we were always made to feel incredibly welcome. We visited as a family of three, our son now 14, so this time we were only bed and breakfast, but did enjoy lunch at the hotel on several days. Breakfast offers a wide variety of options and they were great with helping with my husband’s dairy allergy when we had questions. The hotel is only a 15 min taxi ride from from airport, and a short walk away from the town of Mahón, which has great shops and cafès, you can also head down to the mariner for wonderful views and plenty of restaurants. I would thoroughly recommend the Seth Port Mahon hotel, we’ll definitely be returning to that amazing view, at one of our most favourite places to stay. Thank you to all the team for making our holiday so relaxing and enjoyable. Hope to see you soon.

We enjoyed our 7 night stay in the Hotel. It's got so much to recommend it, but I don't think I can add much to prior reviews that would be useful. Our room was comfortable and clean. In common with many hotels now, they have adopted a green approach to laundry and toiletries that is admirable (although I was glad I'd packed a travel bottle of hair conditioner as that seems to have become obsolete universally since the green revolution) The breakfast buffet was extensive, piping hot and replenished frequently. I tried the churros and hot chocolate a couple of times, which were delicious. Also you could get omelets, fried eggs etc cooked to order by a charming chef. The water urn was plugged in rather than, as you so often see, a container that gets cooler and cooler as the water is used,so there was a constant supply of boiling water to make tea (in a teapot if that's your preference) The availability of a decent cup of tea in the morning is my personal benchmark of excellence, so I was a happy bunny. If I was to make one criticism of the breakfast it was that the ubiquitous conveyor belt toaster was situated right by the door to the terrace, so as well as the “toastees” doing a shuffling type of dance back and forth to allow others in the queue to insert or retrieve their toast, you had other people going in and out of the door clutching plates and cups. All the time I was waiting I felt wherever I stood I was in someone's way. All the staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. All the receptionists spoke excellent English and tolerated our constant questions good humouredly. We had booked Bed and Breakfast but did go to the buffet one evening and it was very pleasant. That particular evening there was also entertainment in the adjacent bar. The singer (Afrodiviac) had a great voice, and gave her performance 110%. We didn't have an opportunity to go to the entertainment on other nights.  I notice a lot of reviews recommending booking a room at the front to take advantage the stunning view over the harbour. Our room (202) was directly opposite the ones at the front and our balcony overlooked the garden, which we actually liked as we had the benefit of the sun from after lunch until well into the evening and chose to enjoy the sea views sitting on the terrace with a Pomada Menorquina (The local gin cocktail) or from beside the swimming pool. All in all, a smashing hotel that I would recommend. 

My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful 9 night stay at this charming hotel. We were greeted pleasantly on arrival, and offered a refreshing Pomada drink. The bonus was that our room was ready, and no having to hang around until 3pm, like you have to in a lot of hotels. We had a double room with balcony and sea view. The view from the room was spectacular, with views of the port and Blood Island. It was one holiday where I didn't mind waking up early, just to sit on the balcony, and soak in the views. The room had ample storage space, a nice large bathroom, really good silent A/C. My only gripe was that we thought that the cleaning could have been improved.....just not sure about how efficient the room maid was. Breakfast always had an incredible choice, from fresh cooked eggs, hot and cold dishes, sandwiches, cereals, fruit, tea, coffee, smoothies, cakes and different breads.....if you couldn't find anything acceptable from that list then you must be a fussy eater. Pedro and Toni in the restaurant are helpful, friendly and funny. The pool area is nice and clean, with lovely grassed area, and views towards the port. Unfortunately you do get some sad people that decide to bag their sun lounger before even having breakfast....and believe it or not, most of them were aged over 50, you'd think they would know better. Silvia on reception is the font of all knowledge, she knows the best restaurants, places to visit, bus times....please be nice to her. The hotel is in a great location. You can walk into town in 20 minutes, one straight road from the back of the hotel, or their is bust stop across the road the No15, every 30 minutes. Come out of the hotel from the poolside, and either walk down 100 steps, or walk 300m to an elevator that will take you down to the port promenade. There are numerous bars and restaurants along the prom, our favourite was Latitude 40, where you can sit and have a drink and watch the luxury boats come and go. Go to this hotel, and enjoy it. We have just made a reservation to return next year, and have upgraded to a junior suite.

Just had a wonderful weeks holiday via Jet2 at the lovely traditional Port Mahon Hotel which I first visited over 50 years ago. Prior to arriving I was offered an upgrade to a suite with balcony and sea view at modest cost which I gladly accepted. I enjoyed amazing views over the estuary, watching the big ships and colourful sunrises. Only negative was why the shower controller was 2 metres away from the shower head? Makes temperature control difficult & wastes water. The breakfast buffet was over 15M long offering everything you could wish for from fresh fruit, continental breakfast to full English. Service was swift. I did a lot of walking around Mahon and used the buses to visit Cuitadella, Fornells & Es Casteel, also the town train around Mahon and the glass bottomed boat for the harbour cruise. The Hotel is a great base for touring. I am planning to return again to Port Mahon Hotel next March when Jet2 start flying from Liverpool (more convenient). In summary, the Port Mahon Hotel exceeded my expectations and any thanks to Silvia on reception for helping with my arrangements. *** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***

Once again we had a fantastic stay.The hotel is in a perfect position and what a wonderful refurbishment which makes it even more extra special.We upgraded to a harbour view room and would recommend as it made the holiday even more special.The space and facilities were great.A big thank you to Silvia for all her help and kindness and also to the two guys on reception.Also a big thanks to Javi, Antonia,Pedro , Diego and Owen the show cook who looked after us in the restaurant. Ernestina who is the Manageress is so friendly and helpful and runs a wonderful hotel, had no hesitation to re-book.

Our staying i Hotel Seth Port Mahón was very positive abd well luxurious. organization, kindnes and availability of staff was second to none. The location just in front of amazing views of Mahon Bay and port was expectacular. Breakfast was bery well organuced, displayed and the vary was very wide, there was everything and of quality. Our room was really spacious, with a nice balcony that looked to a communal square accessible from the pool garden. The staff were always kind and available to us with everything we needed at all times. Very happy with our staying; I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone: lone traveler, couples, families with kids. We would definitely repeat if the chance comes around.

I had read reviews of the hotel prior to booking and was not disappointed in my choice. We wanted somewhere quiet, few children and in an area that is not too touristy. The hotel has been recently refurbished and is in excellent order. On the second day we had a couple of minor issues with our room which we reported to reception on our way to breakfast (as much for future guests benefit as much our own) and by 1000 two maintenance men came to fix the bathroom and cupboard doors. The typical visitors here are older English couples. We spoke to quite a few people and many are returnees (the most we heard was 14 times) and as the hotel is so well run, in a quiet area, the staff treat all the guests with respect and enjoy interacting with them so it is no surprise and is a reflection of the hotels quality and value for money. The breakfast buffet had an excellent selection and regularly topped up and items were kept on hot plates (so often hotel breakfast buffet items are not kept warm but no issues here on that front). We only visited the dinner buffet once which was very popular and looking at the menu had a different and varied selection every day. Dinner buffets are not really our favourite way to have a meal but there is a great selection of restaurants on the marina below (easily reached by a free lift two hundred yards to the left of the hotel entrance). We had meals at The Cardamom (Indian restaurant – twice), Wepi (Asian and burgers) and La Florinata (Italian specializing in home made pasta – twice) and which we gave a 5 star rating to each. We did the harbour boat tour (€15 each) and caught the red land train town tour (€8 each which stops right outside hotel by the big ships propellor) both lasting one hour. We also went by bus from the central bus station (20 min walk away) to Cuitadella which is very pretty. We really enjoyed our time here and all the reception members spoke excellent English so we could ask them for advice.
