A lovely 4* hotel perched above Castelldefels with fabulous views from the pool area and restaurant. Staff were helpful and friendly. We didn't eat in the restaurant just having breakfast on the bar terrace, however, tables were set and the decor grand and tasteful. The pool has a middle ages tower that is seen from distance used as a pirate lookout in its day. Very pleasant environment to relax and take in the views.

“Gran Hotel Rey Don Jaime, Castelldefels, Spain”

The vistas are truly breathtaking. While the main restaurant exudes a pleasant ambiance, the menu remains unchanged throughout the entirety of our four-day conference. Navigating the hotel's hallways can be a bit tricky, with steps to ascend and descend in some areas, necessitating caution. It's advisable to steer clear of rooms with rugs, as they tend to carry an unpleasant odor. Accessibility to the town below requires a descent down a steep hill, necessitating a taxi ride back up due to the incline. The hotel, regrettably, shows signs of age and would benefit from renovations; noticeable cracks marred the bathtub, and basic amenities such as facial tissue boxes and complimentary bottles of water were absent from the rooms, as were facecloths. Room servicing occurs only after noon each day, with guests required to specify their preference for room temperature. Additionally, certain sections of the hotel lacked English-language channels on the television.

“Pity about the flaws”

I would have given 4 out of 5, but the one guy at reception is really not friendly at all. Also some minus points for other things I will explain.

I would have given 4 out of 5, but the one guy at reception is really not friendly at all. Also some minus points for other things I will explain. The location is superb, but if you want to visit the town or go somewhere you either need a taxi or you have to able to walk up a steep hill when returning. But the view from the pool area and from the restaurant is amazing. Checkin was not pleasant at all. Yes, we were early (noon), but at least make your guests feel welcome. At last we could change and go to the pool area when waiting for the room to be ready. We got a room on the 1st floor of the main building. Unfortunately there were 2 hockey teams in our corridor as well, so it was rather noisy from time to time. Also you could hear the flush of the toilet of the room next to you. They left a lot of their clothes, shoes and other stuff in the hallway, which meant you had a smell of dirty socks when entering the hallway. At least they were quiet at night as they had a tournament going on. The cleaning staff was amazing. The pool is very nice with towel service and free beds. You have an amazing view of the area and the see. There is a bar where you can drink and eat something. And the staff there was amazing as well. We tried the restaurant twice and it is definitely to recommend. The food is excellent and service is smooth. The staff of the restaurant is so friendly and helpful. The fitness area: There is no airco in the part where the gym is, so it can be extremely hot. The sauna was out of order during our stay. They also had a spa area (an indoor pool), but then we had to pay 18 euro extra per hour per persoon. This could be a gem, but there are too many flaws currently, we can only give a 3.
