05 January 2012 Emily would recommend this property

Liked: Great location. Very close to the ramblas where there are lots of great shops and restaurants.

Disliked: One female member of the staff was not very forthcoming. She was on the phone when I came to the desk to ask her if I could get my money out of the safe and she tutted, sighed, told her friend she would call back and was rather rude with me. The rest of the staff were very friendly though.

03 November 2011 Elina would recommend this property

Liked: The location is great. Near to the Cathedral and very close to a metro stop. There was a balcony. The staff was friendly and we had no troubles at all.

Disliked: The bathroom is very small and it's really hard to turn around in it. The room is also small and not very clean. It's little bit noisy but as i said the location is great. Watch about the tax fee which is not included in the price.

Liked: vending machine in the lobby

Disliked: prices determinated without 8% VAT. You should be ready to pay additional amount (they take the money when you check-out). Noisily

15 September 2011

Liked: The cleaning ladies were friendly and helped me carry my luggage down 3 flights of stairs when the elevator broke and the reception chap just grunted at me.

Disliked: The reception service is the worst I have come accross in 10 years of extenisve travel, very unfriendly and very unhelpful. One admitted to me that he was actively encouraged not to become too friendly or encourage relationships with guests. When we arrived, he told me he couldnt find my booking and that was it goodbye, fortunately I had the booking confirmation in my phone and he had to grudgingly book me in. The room was ok but boiling hot and the street below the hotel is busy until 6am and then the walls are very thin so no sleep for two nights. I would have had a better nights sleep on the beach.

10 September 2011

Liked: Obviously, this is a cheap hostel, so for the location, which is great, you can't really complain too much. Though I really have to say that what seems to be the manager (older man) is the most unfriendly person I have ever met travelling. He assured me at first that I didn't have a booking, didn't speak english (spanish and some french), and then completely ignored us. The rest of the staff is average let's say but don't expect too much from them. The description is not really accurate but then again for the price and since you don;'t really spend so much time there, it is interesting value for money. Another point : it was impossible to reach the hotel by phone.

Disliked: The staff

Liked: great location and great price,

Disliked: only the colour of the walls, it makes it look very drab when its a lovely clean building with character

04 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location.

Disliked: It wasn't bad, it just wasn't very good. Basically it was clean, the people at the reception were kind, and for the most part it was good for the location. If you want to meet people, or hang out with other backpackers then this place isn't for you. There isn't a terrace or a kitchen, and I never could find the restaurant so be aware when you read the description.

Liked: Would really recommend this place for someone who wants cheap accommodation. If you want a perfect spot, that is clean, and don't care about noise, it's perfect. Very welcoming and helpful staff, but good if you know a bit of Spanish. We will come back for sure.

Disliked: Sometimes a bit noisy, but not that much.

11 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This AAE Rey Don Jaime Hotel is very close to Jaime I metro station, just 20 meters away. This is the only advantage. They accept credit cards.

Disliked: The price does not include breakfast. The price they charged, it should include breakfast. I booked for private single ensuite, but it is very ordinary. Not very lucrative. I stayed for two nights, but for one day they did not give soap and others.

09 May 2011 Jayne would recommend this property

Liked: Location and room

Disliked: On arrival the man on Reception was unhelpful and only spoke Spanish. I was told that all rooms were full and my Reservation had been cancelled. I had to wait until 21.45 when another man came and found us a room thankfully.
