Despite reading the many bad reviews this hotel has online, we checked into AAE Rey Don Jaime figuring it's great location will make up for any inconveniences. Big mistake. The rooms are dark, dank and depressing - nothing like the pictures. Our room overlooked a very noisy street, so we heard people shouting, and the garbage truck grinding past through... More

I was so surprised at how great the location of this hotel was! It is so close to La Rambla, near Placa Reial, Placa Jaume, so close to the Jaime metro stop, and right in the middle of some great shops and places to get breakfast and coffee or lunch, plus walking distance (about 20 minutes) from the beach. The... More

I really don't get the bad reviews about this place. You get what you pay for. It's a very cheap option in Barcelona, in a GREAT location, in the heart of the gothic neighbourhood, steps from the underground and from the main square. Yes it's really old and basic, yes the rooms are small, yes the linen and towels are... More

I have a fascination to book hotel which is near the metro station or bus stop. While searching/booking for hotels in Bercelona I found very little hotel which is near a metro stop. After thorough search I found this hotel where I stayed is very close metro station. This hotel is approximately 20 meters away from the exit of Jaime... More

I made the mistake of not reading reviews on this hotel prior to booking, but rather booking it on recommendation of a "friend of a friend". I definitely felt like a prisoner in this hotel. I didn't find the reception staff particularly friendly and none of them spoke much English, if any at all. Our room felt like a jail... More

In short I would say that this is the worst Hotel / Hostel experience that I have ever had in Europe! I stayed at this hotel with two other friends for one night and I was appalled by the level of service given to us. As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we were told that we could not... More

Dirt cheap, yes. Central, yes. Cozy, somehow. Anyway our stay was ruined by a group of loud drunken Irish teenagers on some sort of stag-like party. The reception staff said they could not help with the noise, so we ended up awake until 5 AM. If it was not for the noise - basic rooms, small bathroom, not very clean... More

I booked a room at this hotel to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. I paid a deposit and requested that we did get a nice room with a balcony because it was a special occasion. The hotel emailed me back and said no problem. Great news. When we arrived we were given a room that looked like a prison cell. The... More
