• Perfect location, fairly clean, decent sized.
• Sometimes loud.

“Just arrived back from a week's stay in Ibiza (my first time!). We arrived at the hotel about 3:00 AM. There were 4 of us sharing a room but we had 3 actual beds and 1 pull out bed which was fine. Decent sized balcony (ours was one of the smaller ones but was still pretty large!) and we had had a huge bathroom which was really nice & clean. Although there is no pool at the Catalina studios there is absolutely no need for one as there are a strip of hotels & beach clubs right on the doorstep which we used to free, some even had pre-parties for the big clubs in the day time with Pete Tong, Judge Jules all djing by the pool for free! The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect the hotel is directly above Cafe Del Mar & Cafe Mambo, and the beach it backs on to is the one where people flock to watch the sunset. Our balcony was facing the sea so had many a night watching the sunset was amazing! Overall Catalina studios are in a perfect location, fairly clean, decent sized and a good base for San Antonio. Roughly 20 minutes from the airport & 5 minutes walk to the main strip.”

• The big balcony.
• The smell.

“It simply isn't worth it otherwise. We had one of these rooms and the balcony was huge (bigger than the room) but the room itself was absolutely disgusting. The first thing that hit us was a rotten gassy smell that seemed to be emanating from holes in the wall. Hotel staff was obviously aware of this as towels had been stuffed in the holes to try and block out the smell. The AC didn't work and reception told us the engineers would be coming but they didn't in the whole time we were there (9 days). There were no cups or glasses to drink from so we had to buy plastic ones. There were a couple of knives but no forks and the plates in the cupboard were filthy and covered in food so we bought plastic ones of those too. The cover to the freezer in the fridge was missing so our ice cubes and ice creams melted. The maids came most days and will change your towels provided you leave them on the bathroom floor. They changed our sheets on our 2nd day but then strangely not again for the 9-day duration. The walls in the room had damp and the paint was peeling. We had 2 chairs but no table on the balcony and reception said they would find one for us but they didn't so we took the wooden table from inside and put it out there. We hired a safe to keep our belongings in which cost 3 euros per day plus a 10 euro deposit which they gave back to us at the end of our stay. We didn't have any problems with our shower or hot water. Most of the people staying at the Catalina were totally uncivilized and rude. Expect lots of swearing, arguing and kicking off doors and general rudeness and lack of respect for anyone around them. We found the staff to be very polite and I suspect that if you are rude to them (which a lot of people were) they will be rude back and rightly so. If you behave like scum you will be treated like scum. To sum it up our room and the hotel was disgusting and it's only saving grace was the balcony and fabulous view. I wouldn't stay again unless you have a large balcony at the front.”
