Can Alberti 1740 Boutique Hotel

We loved our stay. The hotel is beautiful and all the team made our stay very special. A special thanks to Mar for taking such good care of us ☺️. The hotel has a great location. All the details are carefully thought and the works of art amazing. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable

Wonderful stay at the Can Alberti! Beautiful, quiet, immaculately clean room. Delicious breakfast with many choices - including local delicacies. An online map guide - for all of Menorca - provided in advance of my trip; every recommendation was top notch! The hotel is a very comfortable stately home with regularly updated art installations. Can Alberti's team, led by Sonia, the Director, are both professional and welcoming -- and the hotel location is ideal for exploring Mahon and northeast & central Menorca. Don't miss the outstanding Museum of Menorca - just a few steps from the Can Alberti - and pretty Fornells (an easy trip by bus or car for lunch and swimming, kayaking etc.). I can't wait to stay at Can Alberti again - hopefully soon!

The hotel is very quiet and ideally situated for shops, bars and many highly recommended restaurants. We booked a deluxe room with a patio and were allocated room 14. The patio is up on the roof via some steep steps accessed from a vestibule outside of the bedroom door, I felt the stairs were dangerous and were an issue due to mobility, once up the stairs there are two cafe style chairs and a small table. There is also a window overlooking it from another room! Not ideal or what I was expecting. It would make more sense to use the hotels roof terrace than pay for a patio on the roof (we’ve not seen the shared terrace as upstairs and no lift). I asked if we could be moved to one of the rooms shown on the website with the patio off the bedroom but unfortunately they were already occupied. Mar (very nice lady on reception) offered to move us to a suite 2 days later but that didn’t have a patio or to an alternative patio room some days after that. We declined both as we’d unpacked and were settled. We appreciated Mars attempt to help. Breakfast is good and all staff were very friendly. We ended up paying a lot of money for a cosy room without a patio, we didn’t ask and we weren’t offered a reimbursement for not being able to use the patio. Although it had negatively impacted our stay, we would recommend the hotel but would add an advisory note to check which room and whether there are any mobility issues.

Can Alberti is a beautiful, characterful boutique hotel set in a tastefully restored historic residence. It’s located in a quiet street of the old town but is only a very short walk from all the restaurants, sites and shops of the old town and port areas. Our room was a very comfortable base for our exploration of Menorca, with a small private roof patio. The breakfast was beautifully laid out each morning and offered quite a wide range of options for such a small hotel. There was roasted coffee, tea and snacks available in the dining room throughout the day for when we had an attack of the munchies. But perhaps the best aspect of the hotel was the friendly, helpful and expert service provided by all the staff members. In Menorca booking restaurants in advance is essential and not always easy to do. The hotel staff gave us excellent advice on the best restaurants to sample the excellent Minorcan cuisine and made all the restaurant and taxi bookings for us. The hotel’s WhatsApp service allowed us to easily stay in touch with them while we were out and about and when I lost my watch in a taxi they went above and beyond to find it and return it to me. Excellent service from lovely people. We strongly recommend a stay at the Can Alberti.

There were elements of this hotel that we were pleased with. It was good to be in the centre for the Fiesta weekend and the staff were pleasant, particularly the lovely girl who prepared and served breakfast. Having access to the coffee machine was also a plus. However the serious downside was our room, the deluxe double with patio. It felt like a dull basement with little brightness getting in as the patio doors led to a tiny enclosed area. There was a mugginess which got worse after a very heavy downpour during our four days and that night we tossed and turned. In the morning we asked if we asked if we could have clean sheets but were told NO, only for stays of five days or more and were given two clean pillow slips to change ourselves. There were no bedside tables and the lamp switches were inaccessible from the bed. The kettle was in the dark wardrobe (no where else for it to go!) very awkward. We discovered there was a light switch in the corridor outside our room so after a couple of days we were able to make it safer to access our room which had two st eps as you entered and was dangerous in the dark. This light should either be on permanently or automatic with sensor. This was a special occasion (anniversary & birthday) which is why we chose this expensive hotel and felt disappointed. I reminded them of the occasion again and we were allowed to help ourselves to a drink from the honesty bar. Not quite the same as being greeted with a bottle of cava in the room we have experienced elsewhere.

We came to celebrate a milestone birthday and our time at Can Alberti made everything extra special. We arrived early but were treated to a lovely breakfast. The chief, Lea, created a delicious omelet and had all sorts of goodies out there n the buffet table. She also bakes cookies and brownies available all day as snacks. Scrumptious. A nice welcome surprise in our beautiful room! The hotel is spotless and filled with interesting art. Living room is a great spot to relax after a full day of sightseeing. Staff is charming, can’t wait to return.

As a solo traveler, I decided to stay in Mahon vs. one of the beach resorts for my first trip to Menorca. I'm so glad I did. The hotel is in a good location and it's easy to walk to everything you want to see. Many excellent restaurants and bars right on their doorstep. The staff are all very accommodating and welcoming. I especially want to mention Mar who put my mind at ease when my flight was delayed. Every place she recommended was good. They are also helpful in securing dinner reservations and taxis if needed. The rooms are very comfortable and have all the amenities you need. You are spoilt for choice at breakfast. I also enjoyed sitting on the roof terrace after exploring Mahon on my first day. It's very quiet and I always felt safe. What a wonderful long weekend in Menorca and I hope to return.

When we decided to return to Can Alberti this year, we wondered if it would live up to the rosy memories we took home from our first visit in 2023. We need not have worried. The beds were just as comfortable, the breakfasts were still superb but most important of all, the staff were still as lovely. All the best hotels try to make you feel that you are a very welcome guest but Can Alberti manages to do that in a way which is more personal than any other we know. We were lucky enough to have the room with a separate large sitting area and its own private terrace and this year we got full value from that terrace on the lovely sunny days we were there. The highlight of the visit was an evening at the principal theatre of Mahon for a charity concert sponsored by Can Alberti as part of its long tradition of supporting the arts. Even at this big prestigious occasion, the staff took the trouble to make us feel like special guests, but that's how we always feel at Can Albert - special. For our perfect hotel, we look for peace and quiet and understated luxury. We now think of Can Alberti as our home in Menorca and we hope to be back next year.

Sonja couldn't be more welcoming and helpful, and she clearly knows how to select good staff too! The building is centrally situated, an easy stroll to everywhere in Mahon and very, very beautiful. Large airy rooms, scrupulously clean and finely appointed, and the salon, terraces and other rooms are wonderful. Although no TV in the rooms, there is a separate TV room if you can't cope without. Breakfast had plenty of cold meats, cheese, fruits, etc and eggs cooked to order. There are some stairs to negotiate if mobility is a problem and I don't know how happy young children would be in such tasteful surroundings. I will definitely return and recommend!
