Answer

Is renting hostels or simple hotels a realistic housing solution in Mallorca?

It can help in the short term, especially when hotels or guesthouses have empty rooms outside the peak season. But this kind of solution does not automatically create stable or family-friendly housing. It also needs clear standards, contracts and oversight to avoid becoming a temporary fix with weak long-term value.
