Rey Don Jaime I  

The location was super! 1 step out and already in the middle of it all!

Our window was into a dark side road

The location was the main thing we liked, but the price was also very good. We were very pleased that we had a balcony as requested in our booking.

No remote control for tv. Shower leaked on floor. No tea/coffee making facilities.

Good location, near to metro station and lamble rd.

Nothing wrong with the service minded staff, room was clean as well the bathroom.

I spent quite some time for the hotelsearch in Barcelona and ended up at Rey Don Jaime I. I read referenses before I booked and understood that it'd be a noisy place. I therefore took ear plugs (eps) with me. The single rooms face the street and if you're a light sleeper, don't choose this hostal. Without the eps my stay would have been a disaster. Even the eps deep in my ears I'd hear the cars passing by and the screeming fools on the street till 7am. On Saturday and Sunday morning between 7am and 9am it was fairly quiet, so I slept back and forth 4-5 hours/night. I'll never choose this hostal again eventhough everything else was neat. On the other hand I won't return to Barcelona either because I've seen what's to be seen.

Location is very good if you wnat to spend a lot of time in the old part of the city, close to underground station.

Could be better. Small room, smell is not very plesant, but not that awful, dark room, poor light. No additional blanket and no heating. I was in november and had to cover with my coat not to get cold. Bathroomm is too small.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is superb--right in the old city, very close to excellent restaurants. Close to the university where I had my conference.

Very noisy area with partiers far into the night. My recommendation for the hotel would be to install double paned windows to help reduce the street noise.

Staff was very helpful. Price.

No hair dryer.

Room is too small. Not what I would expect in a room that is described as "superior."

Clean rooms, great location, reasonable price, friendly staff. What else do you need? I would definitely stay there again.

-Staff were friendly -location was outstanding for sight-seeing, city centre, night-life and beach -good shower -rate was reasonable for what it was

The staff attitude was good. If any problem or request arised it was silved immediately. Always gave the complete info about the location, shops, entertainments. Plus a very beautiful seaview.

The only thing that was o.k,was the fact that it was near la rambla and other city sightseeings.

If you can afford it try another hotel,it was the worst hotel i've ever stayed.

Room cleanliness - rooms were cleaned on a daily basis w/out interfering with our schedule. large bed, all needed facilities. Very nice position within the city, with fast access to metro, beach, terraces and local-markets. Friendly, English speaking staff.

Actually, I did not like the size of the room, extremely small, all though I`ve acquired Superior Double Room. Room was poorly positioned in the Hotel Annex across the street from the hotel. It had a barred-jail-like window positioned in an internal staircase -> very little fresh air came-in.
