About New Kensington Apartments - Econotels
New Kensington Apartments - Econotels offer apartments located aside the famous Punta Ballena strip, surrounded by shops, pubs and clubs.
Each apartment offers flexible accommodation with a twin bedroom and two sofa beds in the living area, a terrace, bathroom, fully-fitted kitchen with fridge, freezer and microwave. Towels and bed linen are provided.
New Kensington Apartments - Econotels operates a 24-hour reception and has the facility to store luggage. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the premises and staff speak both English and Spanish.
The emphasis is on affordable accommodation so there are no options for dining on-site, however, there are numerous eateries within walking distance offering everything from pizza and steak to fast food and authentic Spanish tapas.
With its location between Magaluf and Palma Nova, there is no shortage of places to visit; San Matias beach is 100m away, and Western Water Park and BCM Planet Dance are both nearby.
Positive Reviews
positive:
Excellent location for 'the strip'.
Econotel Kensington is less than a two-minute walk from the beach for sun-worshippers, and its location a stones-throw from the top of the Punta Ballena strip makes it ideal for those visiting for the nightlife too.
positive:
Value for money.
If you're looking for safe, spacious budget accommodation this could be a good option. Many guests have commented that you would be hard pressed to find somewhere so conveniently located for less.
positive:
Option to self cater.
Fully-fitted kitchens are attached to every apartment so, while there are numerous places to eat out within an easy, level walk, the option is there to self-cater should you wish to. There is also a handy supermarket directly underneath the accommodation
Negative Reviews
negative:
Balmy nights.
Air conditioning is not included so, on warm summer nights, the apartments may get rather hot. Fans are supplied but, some reviewers have said that they make little difference.
negative:
Noisy neighbours.
As you might expect with its location so close to bars and clubs, you are likely to hear late-night revellers returning from the early hours. Of course, if you plan to join them it shouldn't be an issue for you but, if not, perhaps pack your earplugs.
negative:
No reception and Wi-Fi unreliable.
If you're looking for a 'get away from it all' break this could be the perfect spot but, if not, you may struggle with the lack of contact with the outside world; phone reception is poor and the Wi-Fi, while operational, works intermittently.
