Cheap & Chic Hotel

About Cheap & Chic Hotel

Cheap & Chic Hotel suits travellers who want a simple, central base in Ciutadella rather than a resort stay. The address on Sant Jeroni puts the old capital's streets within a short walk, with the cathedral, palaces and narrow port in the same compact centre. Couples and small families can use it as a practical point for the west of Menorca, then return to town for the evening.

This is a three-star hotel with a guest score of 4.7/5 from 168 reviews, so the appeal is an uncomplicated stay rather than a full-service resort. Listed facilities cover the practical side: air conditioning, free wifi, family rooms, a cot and babysitting service, plus room service and laundry. The mood is town-based: you sleep close to Ciutadella's old town and travel out to the coast by day.

Location: Ciutadella

Cheap & Chic Hotel sits in Ciutadella, the old capital of Menorca, 0.3 km from the historic centre in a straight line. That centre holds the cathedral, palaces and the narrow port associated with sunsets, so an evening walk needs no transport. The immediate streets are town streets rather than a beach strip. For Cala Turqueta, 9.7 km away, or Cala Galdana, 12.5 km away, plan on a car, taxi or seasonal bus.

In high summer the centre is busy in the evening, while the southern coves fill earlier in the day; leaving town by car or bus helps. Shoulder months are quieter and better for walking the old streets, though some seasonal services thin out. Ciutadella stays open year-round, which makes Cheap & Chic Hotel usable outside the main months. Confirm current bus times with the island operator, or ask the hotel about taxis for the 12.5 km run to Cala Galdana.

Rooms and facilities

Inside Cheap & Chic Hotel, the listed setup points to practical town rooms: air conditioning, a desk, television, radio, safe, minibar and hairdryer, with toiletries in the bathroom. Couples can treat the minibar and room service as small comforts after a day on the coast. Families should ask which configurations include the listed sofa bed and cot, and whether a family room can take a cot without crowding.

Late arrivals should confirm reception cover and room service times before travelling, since arrangements can vary. Guests with children can ask about the babysitting service, family rooms and first aid arrangements. Cleaning and housekeeping are listed, along with laundry for longer stays. Carpeted rooms, non-smoking rooms, free wifi and internet access are also listed; confirm any allergy or accessibility needs directly with Cheap & Chic Hotel.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 36 km from Cheap & Chic Hotel in a straight line, on the opposite side of the island from Ciutadella. The usual choices are a taxi, a hire car or a bus connection via Maó, with the final approach into the old town on foot or by short taxi ride. Confirm luggage space and child seats with the hotel or your transport provider before arrival.

Maó port is 38.4 km from Cheap & Chic Hotel in a straight line, so ferry arrivals face a cross-island transfer to Ciutadella. Es Mercadal and Monte Toro are 21.8 km away, useful if you are combining the hotel with the island centre. Seasonal buses serve more routes in summer; flights and ferries are fewer in winter. Ask Cheap & Chic Hotel which current connections it recommends for your dates, as timetables change.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest sight is Ciutadella old town at dusk, 0.3 km from Cheap & Chic Hotel in a straight line, with the cathedral and port lanes close together. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 4.7 km away and can be combined with a short inland drive. Cala Turqueta, a south-coast cove, is 9.7 km away in a straight line; Cala Galdana is 12.5 km away in a straight line.

For food, Menorca's cheese has a protected designation of origin, and caldereta de llagosta is a lobster stew associated with Fornells. Ciutadella has year-round town life, so meals are not limited to the summer season. The island's Talayotic sites, including navetes and talaiots, are part of the UNESCO listing added in 2023; the Naveta des Tudons is the closest example to Cheap & Chic Hotel.

A day from Cheap & Chic Hotel

Begin with a walk from Cheap & Chic Hotel into Ciutadella old town, 0.3 km away in a straight line, while the streets are calm. Then drive or take a taxi to the Naveta des Tudons, 4.7 km away, for the prehistoric tomb. Continue south to Cala Turqueta, 9.7 km from the hotel, for a swim; arrive early because the cove is popular and parking is limited in summer.

Return to Ciutadella for the late afternoon, leaving time for the narrow port and the old town at dusk, 0.3 km from Cheap & Chic Hotel. If you want a longer run, Cala Galdana is 12.5 km away and Es Mercadal with Monte Toro is 21.8 km away, both feasible by car. End with a town evening in Ciutadella, which stays open beyond the summer season.

Practical tips

Cheap & Chic Hotel is likely to be most useful from spring to autumn, when Ciutadella's town life and the southern coves are in full swing; many seasonal businesses on Menorca close roughly November to April, so check the hotel's own opening dates before booking. July and August bring the highest demand. The sustainable tourism tax is charged by the accommodation per person per night; rates vary by category and season, with reductions in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rules.
