Pros: -Good views Cons: -Poor location. To go to Barcelona, you have to call a taxi, go to Castdelldefels rail station in 5 minutes, take a train to Barcelona in about 30 minutes, then use the metro -Did not feel like a 4 star hotel More

Really enjoyed our two night stay at Rey Don Jaime. Its set back up on a hill about a 10 - 15 min walk from the railway station which links to Bracelona in less than 30 mins and Sitges 10 mins in the opposite direction. Frequent and reliable train service. The hotel has two parts one being old and the... More

I stayed for 3 nights in September 2011. Booked through Yeego so very good price. This is a conference and or wedding venue so not such a great holiday atmosphere. Nice restaurant but poor breakfast in a room in the new part of the hotel and the selection at breakfast and service was 2 star. Out of season its a... More

The hotel is on a hill far outside Barcelona. You can see the sea but can't walk there, i.e. need to take a taxi wherever you may want to go. The facilities such as swimming pool are very nice and belie the bad state of the rooms. Rooms are not well maintained, furniture is falling apart (literally), not very clean,... More

Sure the hotel is on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere - so you are warned. However room was clean, staff was friendly, hotel bar next to the big swimming pool serves coffee, cakes, beer, etc efficiently at cheap price (for a five star). Spent nice afternoons there with ipad connected on free wifi next to a... More

Spent 3 nights with wife and 3 children (14, 12, and 6). It is not on the beach but still a short 7 minute ride. Breathtaking views of all Castelldefels. Two swimming pools (outdoor and indoor) One table tennis table and Two squash courts that we enjoyed a lot with my athletic/electric kids. Great Restaurant with the same great views... More

We were put up here for 4 nights due to the volcanic ash disruption. Easyjet paid for a room and breakfast. I couldn't fault this hotel but the only thing missing is a little shop with newspapers/water, etc. The internet was free. There were saunas, swimming pools, squash courts and I really unwound. It is a bit out of the... More

I have high standards as I work in the travel industry and I'm used to staying in good hotels. We went to the hotel for Luxury and chill out and it didnt really tick either of those boxes. We were looking for a unique spanish holiday experience away from the package holiday crowd so we booked into Castelldefels. When we... More

The pictures on the hotel website look better than reality, the hotel is being refurbished and some rooms are still old fashioned. The hotel has an old classical part with restaurant and a modern lobby with breakfast-room. There is an indoor swimming pool, sauna and squash, and also an average sized outdoor swimming pool. Breakfast is plentiful but served in... More

This hotel is out of this world, it is the only hotel I've stayed in that I actually want to return to. It is out of town up a very steep hill, however as long as you don't mind either walking or getting a cab it's no problem. Due to the hotel being up the mountain, it is so peacefull... More
