Having stayed at a different Barcelo this one was below par. Complained about tv signal on night 1 and nothing done to rectify for 25 hours, even then it didn't work again the entire time. Complained a 2nd time and still nothing done. Staff were not very helpful. Air-conditioning not working in gym. Disappointed in this compared to our previous stay in lanzarote which was outstanding

This was our 4th stay at Barceló Hamilton. Do book a room with a sea view balcony, it’s worth it, as in the welcome shade later in the day. Marvellous view of the harbour with sea traffic all day. Appreciate the rooftop jacuzzis, complemented by large “courtyard” pool and separate covered pool in addition.
Easy bus ride (or 30 min walk) into Mahon from where the whole of the island is accessible and 10 min walk round the corner to Cala Fonts full of restaurants and shops. Highly recommended.

The room had no air conditioning so it was far too hot to sleep.

Breakfast wasn’t great quality and pigeons leaving faeces in the area which I appreciate isn’t the hotels fault but perhaps a cover over the outside area.
Staff helpful and friendly and overall modern clean hotel.

Great hotel in perfect location

My wife and I had a wonderful week at Barcelo Hamilton. The hotel is in a perfect location above where the promenade of the picturesque harbour of El Castell begins. From there it’s easy to tale a leisurely stroll with plenty of places to stop for drinks, meals, and shopping. We had a superior room with a spectacular sea view which was ideal for watching the never ending procession of boats of all shapes and sizes entering and leaving the port at Mahon. The staff are helpful and friendly. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast was excellent with choices for all tastes. The pool and the rooftop jacuzzis are great, as is the rooftop bar with panoramic views. All in all it’s a great hotel in a perfect location.

We wanted a convenient base for exploring Menorca and the hotel provided it. Our room was very comfortable and the sea view well worthwhile: it was surprisingly enjoyable watching the harbour traffic come and go. Breakfast was fairly good, though very busy at peak times which led to shortages of cups and cutlery. Also, some food items (e.g. bananas and nuts) only appeared occasionally. Almost all our other meals were taken elsewhere. In the evenings we ate at the very good local restaurants in the town of Es Castell and round the harbour at Cales Fonts (special mention for the excellent Sa Punta, 5 minutes’ walk away).
Disadvantages mainly related to the nature of the hotel. It is much larger than the usual ones we use, and provided services like loud evening entertainment in the bar that we don’t have any use for. Although the staff were friendly and helpful, the servicing of the rooms was a little unpredictable. In summary, it wasn’t our favoured type of hotel but it did deliver what we wanted and we had a lovely holiday.

Great location in lovely Es Castell.

Great location, and mostly accessible (my wife is temporarily physically challenged and uses a cane to slowly get around). Receptionist Nicole (with the Scottish accent) was superb and made our stay even better! She is a treasure!
As a retired architect, I noticed items that are in need of maintenance. The baseboards in the hallways need to be replaced with correct materials that will withstand wear and tear (entirely the wrong material, currently), and corner guards should be installed. The lobby bar could be better, with a greater range of drinks and a bit more \"atmosphere\". Apart from these minor issues, we would recommend this hotel to everyone!

Lovely hotel, with room some room to improve.

Pros:
-Beautiful hotel with wonderful pool and roof mini-tubs.
-location fantastic.
-good service although some staff didn’t seem particularly happy (understandable).
-good facilities to use pre/post check-in/check-out (showers downstairs etc)

Cons:
-A lot of added costs to factor (eg the safe in the room costs €30 to “activate” and pool towels are charged €3 for a “refresh” after a €20 deposit per towel). This is quite strange given how much you pay for the room already!
-Our room (330) smelled incredibly damp and had a foul sewer smell coming through the drains - admittedly we didn’t ask to move as we were only there for 3 nights but it wasn’t pleasant.

Lovely modern hotel made even better by the staff. From check-in to the cleaners very friendly. Pool area slightly shaded but changes as the sun moves around not a bad thing in the heat of the summer! The blue ‘sky’ bar on the other hand is the opposite! ..It can get windy up there! Stunning views too. Out of the hotel hook a right and follow the coast round to a little harbour and there is a good selection of restaurants 5-10 mins walk. Go the other way and through the narrow streets of the village to the bus stop and less than €2 will get you into Mahon itself. Definitely worth a visit. Get a hire car to go to the beaches though... something like 200 around the island. Again well worth it. Lots of history through the eons to see. Biggest advantage for us at least is it’s adults only!

Nice enough hotel.

In general, we found our stay at The Barcelo Hamilton okay. Some staff memebers were friendly, while some were aloof.

Thought we think that the design concept of the hotel is modern, we did not find the layout of the room to be well executed. Having the sink outside of the toilet and shower area did not seem efficient.

I’m not entirely sure if we were given the non smoking area that we asked for, but I think the air vents should be checked because our bath towels smell of cigarette smoke. We are non smokers and the towels were changed everyday.

We loved the sea view from our room. Especially when the morning light comes in.

Great hotel, couple of things let it down...

We stayed for 3 nights and overall really enjoyed our visit. A couple of things could be improved upon. We stayed half board and were a bit disappointed with the quality of the hot buffet food on offer at dinner. Also, with the exception of Margarita in the restaurant and the guy in charge of entertainment around the pool, the staff weren’t especially welcoming/friendly. Otherwise the hotel was very clean and modern, the pool area was perfect for us with lots of sun beds and the rooftop bar was great with views across the water. We would come back, but probably only stay B&B next time as there are plenty of local restaurants in the nearby harbour area.

Expected better quality and service

As a budget traveller we normally stay in hotels that are a lot cheaper. But to treat ourselves we decided to splurge a little and stay at the Barcelo Hamilton. Too be honest it was quite disappointing. It looks nice, the beds were comfortable, the rooftop was pleasant and the breakfast very good. But there were a lot of things very average considering the price you pay. The staff is very slow and not service orientated (like slower than usual in Spain where everything is slower anyway). Check-in took about 10 mins per room and if you just had a simple question you were waiting a long time if unlucky. No iron in the room (which is fine) but when we asked reception they simply said no we don't have it now. We then asked them if they could call one of the rooms that is currently using it to ask if they are done and they were almost rolling their eyes because they had to do work...
The room was also quite small and if we had bigger luggage than just our carry on bags there would have been no space to walk. Towel situation at the pool was also a bit annoying as you had to pay a deposit but also if you're up on the roof you have to go get a token first and then go to the pool downstairs to get the towel.
I guess it's just not what we expected from a hotel that we paid so much more from than the hotels we usually stay at that I think have much better service and are still pleasant and comfortable. Won't be staying here again and wouldn't really recommend it either.

Good Hotel, Good Location

Good hotel in great location within a few minutes walk of Es Castell harbour with many bars and restaurants. Although the hotel is quite new and very clean and comfortable, there were several disappointing aspects. On check-in we were allocated room 224 and then, without explanation switched to room 112. We later discovered that this was a much inferior room. The reception staff were not forthcoming - no welcome drink was offered and no luggage assistance was available. Everything is charged for as extra - the in-room safe, tea and coffee in room (although there is a kettle), and even pool towels. Needless to say, the bar prices are outrageous and - \"for quality reasons\" - bringing any food and drink from outside is expressly forbidden. Service at the pool bar was poor and grudging, and there was no waiter service. It is such a shame that a beautiful hotel was not promoted in a way that gave an overall satisfying holiday experience.

Breakfast good-reception slow

The breakfasts were the best thing about this hotel, together with the view. There were, as is to be expected in an adult only hotel, the sunbed hoggers who were there at 8.30, towels out, for the day. This was by the pool not on the roof terrace where it was more relaxed. The views were amazing which made it seem odd that the roof terrace and its bar did not stay open very late-this is the main attraction of the hotel and yet you couldn't spend evenings there when you wanted to. The hotel was very clean and the cleaning staff were lovely. Check-in was a slow experience due to only one staff member being present. If they prohibit sunbed saving and open the roof terrace and bar each night it will be a lovely experience all round.

Anywhere else is a risk

This being at least our third return back to back, we know what to expect from Barcelo Hotel Hamilton. After a busy year, we are so glad to return to this quiet corner of Menorca with its superb views over the water of the inlet, the fort and little islands. We love the setting with the picturesque little bay of Cales Fonts and its few restaurants and tiny bars round the corner, the modern design and soft subdued lighting of the interior, soft ambient incidental music, the comfort of the air-conditioned rooms (we went Deluxe this time!) and even the public sunning areas - with service.

Nice location to walk in to Es castell

We booked a sea view room and were put in room 101 which is in a corner overlooking lobby and the side of other rooms we complained and were moved to 104 which was more central but still the balcony is overlooking the ceiling of the lobby which is noisy at night because they have bar entertainment. Having said this I'd rather be over the lobby than the otherwise which is the car park and breakfast room. You need to book next room category up to get off this floor but be careful with suites because everyone on the balcony can see straight into your room!
Service in breakfast room is awful you don't even get shown to your table or offered a cup of tea it does feel like a canteen

Also would have expected to be served tea/coffee even at a buffet breakfast . Had buffet dinner on first night even though we were b&b, very mediocre and Luke warm food on cold plates.

Well located modern hotel

The Hamilton is well placed in the small town of Es Castell just 10 minutes bus ride from Mahon and within easy walking distance along the promenade of a host of harbour side restaurants, pizza parlours and bars.

A smart modern hotel with fine sea views out over the entrance to Mahon harbour with a regular flow of pleasure and fishing boats and the occasional large cruise ship passing by.

The rooms are adequate and reasonably equiped but on the small side with limited storage space.

Extras that one might regard as standard fare are charged for, such as room safes 5 Euros per day with a Euro 30 deposit and towels which attract a Euro 10 deposit each. After the first day tea bags, coffee sachets, sugar and milk in the room are charged at Euro 4 per day. Bottled water is also chargeable.

Breakfasts again are adequate with reasonable choice of hot and cold dishes but the food is of average quality. Dinners are expensive and better to eat out locally.

Again the swimming pools are adequate but small and not pool facilities are not luxurious.

Staff friendliness could be improved with a few smiles and convivialities. On checking out a mere \"OK\"
was all I received on my departure after 5 days from the receptionist.

The location saves this establishment but this large hotel group could do more to improve facilities and ambience.

Half way there

We asked for a twin room and it was a double - rather than putting us in another room, we had to wait for the cleaner to come and redo the beds for us. The room was really small considering what we we paying and just wast what was shown in the pictures. You also have to pay a deposit of 20euros per beach towel, they don't have them just stacked up by the pools and when we asked for our deposit back, we were questioned about why we didnt have a receipt from paying the deposit ) which was clearly a protocol stuff up internally. The rooftop bar/pools and the breakfast were what saved it for us - both really lovely. Overall, its overpriced, customer service could have been much better and we wouldn't stay again.

first class location

5 min walk o good selection of good bars/restaurants in Es Castell. Top floor bar is a must in the evenings watching the boats return and the sun go down. Drinks prices as expected for 4* but not excessive. Excellent breakfast choice. Shame that safe is not free to hire( they should add to basic cost and no one would know?). 10 min walk to bus stop for bus to Mahon (€1.65 ea way per person). Car hire 5 mins away. Small supermarket 10 mins. Hotel pool ok but generally in shade most of the day. Pool service available but slow. No local beach to walk to. Topfloor bar provides ample sun if required! . Es Castelll is unspoilt small harbour and this hotel is perfect for couples looking for quiet week.

Terrible service

It was a shame that such a lovely hotel is completely let down by the service. We found our check in experience to involve a long wait and then rude staff. To use the \"free\" wifi you have to agree to sign up to your details being passed on! We didn't come across a single friendly member of staff. O and they were unable to fix our broken toilet even though we told them about it on our first night! Disappointing.

Amazing customer\nService

This was our 1st \"kid free\" holiday and we couldn't be happier, it was also my partners 30th birthday and the hotel staff helped me arrange a birthday suprise, it was so special that I asked my partner to marry me (with the help of the staff).

She said yes! We were both very happy with all aspects of the hotel.

Highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Excellent weekend break

A very short stay. Hotel was an excellent choice. The roof top bar is worth the visit alone. Decor modern and clean. Staff very helpful. Breakfast good. As with most modern hotels the bathroom is pretty much in the room - a challenge when travelling with a friend. Room a little bit on small side. Brilliant location. Well worth s wander to harbour for great choice of bars and restaurants. The hotel air conditioning is centrally controlled. I would have preferred cooler but it a minor point.

Great roof but not worth money

Hotel has a good location but staff and value is disappointing. Anything additional is extra, slow service, and loud for being adults only. I am stilling working on obtaining a refund for one night thru booking with Expedia- a hassle with front desk entire trip!

A hotel in financial trouble??

Beuatiful hotel, BUT it is not maintained very well
- electrical sockets with protruding live wires,
- none of the hot tubs on the roof work, except one;
- no shade/parasols on the roof,
- the sound system throught the hotel is faulty - keeps stuttering and despite telling staff, they did nothing and played the same 4 mp3 files / CDs over and over again;
Guests are left with an uneasy feeling that the hotel is in trouble - they charge for absolutely everything, deposits for towels, then €3 per day to have them renewed, charge for safe, no replenishment of tea and coffee in rooms after the first time using them - then you are charged, no stock in the minibar without pre-paying for filling the whole thing, regardless of whether you want all the products, no water in the gym (its locked in the spa - really dangerous if someone fainted in the gym). All the staff are very very young therefore cheap, but unfortunately this means they are inexperienced and lack customer service skills, and yet it is obvious no-one has invested in any training for them.
Reception are very badly behaved - laughing and and riduculing guests who moan, and they are very indiscreet about it.
There are a few good staff, and 1 amazing member of staff - Rita - who does all the entrtainment, fitness, DJ-ing and inadvertantly, provides a friendly point of contact for disgruntled guests. She should be snapped up by a much better hotel - she is wasted here.

Grown up chill out vibe

Excellent modern rooms and fabulous roof top sun bathing area and bar. Internal pool area gets sun and shade and is very pleasant. Great breakfast. Close to harbour with little restaurants and bars.

Somewhere to stay not far from the airport

Used the hotel for bed and breakfast, so got the essentials, a bed and a shower. Had a superior room, but it did not have a balcony, which seemed a bit odd.

Great hotel ideal for those looking for a quiet break. Two good pool areas, great views on rooftop and well located with bars/restaurants just a walk along the pier. Not your usual tacky tourist area either, slightly mor upmarket. Room was cleaned every day and breakfast more than sufficient

pricey but pretty good

great breakfast - great rooftop bar with stunning view - quiet pool area but little in way of air movement - great location - great variety of local tapas bars - so easy access to Mahon for only €1.65 by bus - but annoying Muzak plays everywhere apart from your room.

Great hotel. One small issue.

Fantastic hotel with fantastic views. Very clean. Friendly staff. Excellent food and service. The only problem we encountered is that they do not turn the air conditioning on until it is above 26C outside. We had a thermostat control in our room but the air conditioning was not turned on in the hotel to allow us to have a/c in our room to our liking. That made it hot and humid, especially for sleeping. So therefore, it wasn't as comfortable as we would have liked.

Very clean, modern hotel with beautiful views.

Very pleased with the facilities of the hotel, especially the roof terrace with the Jacuzzis overlooking the bay!
However, disappointed with the charge to use the room safe and the fact that it took the hotel 2 days to fix our air conditioning in the room. We also expected the tea/coffee making facilities to be replenished daily but were told they're only complimentary on the first day. Other than that, a lovely hotel and would definitely return for another holiday break.

nice modern hotel with a great location. a true 4*

we stayed for a week. nice modern hotel. nie size room. we had the bnb option. all good superb location, very peaceful area. the only thing that cheesed me off, was i really chose this hotel for its location. its right on the edge and some massive ships pass. and when we walked in. no balcony and sea view was limited. i thought, no please. it was the reason i booked it. so i went to reception bla bla. thing is i never complain about stuff. anyway, she said she could move us in two days. two days passed and we were a fair distance away when hotel called. we can move you now, but you must come now mush mush. anyway it was impossible to get there fast and besides were on holiday. so i said dont worry well stay where we are. they did try at least. i would stay again. which i never do, as we like trying different places. but id want that sea view (without twisting me neck) and a balcony) 8/10 nice hotel

Smart hotel on sea front (not beach)

Bed and breakfast stay in perfectly positioned hotel. Extremely good choice of food and drink at breakfast. Dining staff very friendly and efficient. Beautiful bays; great views from public areas and sea facing rooms. Ours was a superior double with sea view (no balcony!!). NOTES: Balconies are small, if you get one. From conversations, 'all- inc' guests were unhappy about restrictions. Photos of pools are misleading and roof top bar frequently closed.
