Rey Don Jaime I

Situation of the hotel

Room comfort, window doesn't close well, noisy room not isolated with double glass

Telephone never work, no soap in room

Hotel is really well located (L4 Jaume I yellow line) and easy to find it. There are two buildings, the old one (here you can find the recepction) and the new one. The second its better cause is more comfortable and in front of the old one. You have to cross the street when you go to your room. Maremàgnum, Ramblas, Plaza Catalunya nearest from the hotel.

Reception inside the first bulding, the old. Street its not precisely ideal to rest cause there are a lot of people 24 hours and windows look normally to it. There is a great difference between the first building and the new one but you can choose your accomodation when you make a reservation. The new is a little bit expensive than the older.Walls really fine you can hear everyone.

The hotel was part of the annex - the more modern section of the hotel. We had a small balcony and the beds and bathroom were fine.

The three things we did not like were the dimness of the lighting in the bedroom/main room, the absence of chairs and the unpleasant smell on entering the annex foyer.

The hotel is very central so within easy reach by foot of the major sights plus only about a 20/25 minute walk to the beach, ideally situated. Pleasant enough staff. The room was clean it had a bed a toilet & a shower, that's all you need!

Lack of a bar/restaurant facilities, annoying when you have to find a restaurant for breakfast, but I guess it is quite a small hotel so there maybe no room for a restaurant I guess. Not the greatest view from the room, grey drainpipes & quite warm in the room as well even with the fan on - plus a creaky bed!!

Location is excellent

1. Almost nobody speaks English. 2. No daylight and air in the room if wooden doors to balcony were closed. 3. No curtains on doors to Balcony so everybody could watch us. 4. Blocked sinks. 5. The chairs which used to fall down when we were sitting on. 6. Very poor comfort in rooms.

The main thing, no surprise, is location. 50m from the tube, 200m from Ramblas, coffee, food shops right outside.

Can be a bit noisy, but no problem to us. would like WIFI.

I especially liked its location. It is located in the center of the Gothic quarter just in the center of things. A walking distance just about from everything and if not there is a metro station just next to it.

No phone in the room. So I couldn't get calls.

Good central location just off the Ramblas. Basic accommodation, but adequate for our needs.

the location is excellent, could not be better. Walking distance to main attractions, shopping area and restaurants. Good price but do not expect a wonderful room, is just enough to sleep and have a shower, clean.

location

dark room, dismal view onto an airshaft, towels like sandpaper and the color of cement (they were supposed to be white), indifferent staff

The location of the hotel was ideal. Situated right in between the Gothic Quarter and the port, it was very close by things to see and do, such as La Rambla, and transportation links like tour buses or the subway.
