About Hotel Figueretes

Hotel Figueretes suits travellers who want a low-cost, no-fuss place to sleep within walking distance of Ibiza Town's old quarter and port. The one-star rating keeps rates modest, and the guest score of 4.0/5 from 714 reviews suggests guests find it acceptable for the price. It is a straightforward hotel with basic facilities, not a resort or boutique property.

The hotel sits on Passeig Ses Pitiuses, a road that runs along the coast south of the port. It offers an outdoor pool, a pool bar and a restaurant, which are unusual for a one-star property. The 24-hour front desk and luggage storage help late arrivals and early departures. Free wifi is listed.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Hotel Figueretes is in Ibiza Town, on the flat land between the port and Playa d'en Bossa. Dalt Vila, the walled old town, is 1 km straight line away. The Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins, a UNESCO site, lies 0.5 km away. The port is 1.7 km straight line, giving access to ferries to Formentera, Palma and the mainland. Playa d'en Bossa beach is 2.1 km straight line; Talamanca bay is 2.7 km.

In July and August the area around the hotel is busy with visitors heading to the beach and the clubs of Playa d'en Bossa. The road can be noisy. In the shoulder months of May, June and September the pace is calmer, and the hotel's terrace and garden become a quieter place to sit. From November to April many nearby restaurants and bars close, but Ibiza Town centre stays open year-round.

Rooms and facilities

Hotel Figueretes lists a 24-hour front desk, a safe and multilingual staff. The rooms are basic, as expected for one star. Couples on a budget will find the location practical for exploring the old town and the south coast. Families should check with the hotel about room sizes and cots; the outdoor pool and garden give children space to play. Late arrivals benefit from the round-the-clock reception and luggage storage.

The hotel has a bar, a snack café and a restaurant. The pool bar serves drinks by the outdoor pool. Free wifi is listed. There is a lounge and a terrace. Guests arriving by car should confirm parking options with the hotel, as the street parking in this part of town can be limited in high season. The property is listed as wheelchair accessible.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 5.5 km straight line from Hotel Figueretes. A taxi takes about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. The seasonal bus from the airport to Ibiza Town stops near the port; from there it is a short walk or a taxi ride of about 1.7 km. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for exploring the island, but parking near the hotel can be tight in summer.

The port is 1.7 km straight line from the hotel, about a 20-minute walk or a short taxi ride. From the hotel, Dalt Vila is 1 km away, easy on foot. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer; check the schedules with the operators.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Hotel Figueretes for its exact opening dates. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and more people on the roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the accommodation type and season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
