Our stay was quite enjoyable, especially given that we arrived in the early hours after a flight cancellation. The room was clean and comfortable, although the air conditioning could be improved. We appreciated the quality of breakfast, particularly the delicious churros. However, the noise from the toilet in the room above was a downside. Overall, good value for a last-minute booking.

I recently enjoyed my stay at Gran Hotel Rey Don Jaime, and while the breathtaking views of Castelldefels were a highlight, there were some challenges. The rooms, although comfortable, had their share of wear and tear, and the menu at the restaurant remained unchanged throughout my visit. The accessibility to the town required a decent trek back up, which may deter some. Overall, the experience had its ups and downs, but the beautiful scenery and tranquil environment made it worthwhile.
