“Not worth 4 "estrellas" (stars)”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed with my partner at Don Yo in mid-April 2010, just before the volcanic eruption in Iceland (this did not impact our stay in Zaragoza). The Don Yo at first seems to be a descent, although not too fresh, 4* hotel in the center of Zaragoza, near one of the main avenues leading to the old part of the city (10 minutes walk). Then, annoying details and problems start to cumulate. The (cleaning) staff is noisy and does not care if you wish to sleep past 7am when they start their day. The room (queen sized bed on one of the higher floors) had problems with heat (and no AC working), but so had the entire floor. Our windows were on the interior court.. but this was not to be a quiet space with huge AC/machinery from other buildings (possibly the hotel as well) humming through the day and night (and the court is not pretty either). The room itself was in need of a refurbishing, with paint coming out (bathroom), wall paper not sticking to corners, and a really stupid way of setting the tiny bathroom sink with barely enough space to put a glass down. It was too hot at night, and opening the windows would generate no air flow.

Avoid this hotel: it needs a real remake.
In my book it should definitely rank at the bottom of the 4* category.
A good 3* would provide a much better experience.

Luckily, the old Zaragoza and the inhabitants were most pleasant. Do not miss the Pablo Gargallo Museum set in an old Palazzio.

“Pleasant Stuff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2008

person found this review helpful

Well having read the other two reviews I thought it only fair to balance the opinions a bit. We had nothing but courtesy from the staff. The room, well the whole building, was clean and in good repair. Everything worked for us. Never been to Zaragoza before. Will definitely go again and will definitely use Don Yo again.

“Not great for 4*”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2007

Hotel was disappointing for a 4*. The reception staff were great and found them very helpful. No car parking at the hotel and had to park a few streets away, the parking was discounted. The room was for 3 people, we had a double room and the sitting room with sofa bed for the child. Bathroom was ok, shower didn´t function well, but did the job. The hotel bar closed at 11pm which wasn´t great but there are many street cafes and bars just outside the hotel.

The Bascilica de Pilar and Seo Cathedral where about 15 minutes away by foot. Plenty of shops surrounding the hotel. Enough to keep everyone happy.

Overall the hotel was ok but not what I expected of a 4 star hotel.

  • Liked — Having 2 bedrooms
  • Disliked — Felt cramped

“Neither here, nor there”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2006

people found this review helpful

The Zenit Don Yo is in the newer part of Zaragoza, about a 25 minute walk from the Plaza del Pilar and cathedral.
The service at reception was initially curt and unhelpful -- 'what to do with the car?'; 'leave it there'; 'parked illegally'; 'it's O.K.' With just one English speaking, control freak concierge everything backed up until she was ready to deal with it. Later in the evening when there was less pressure she was more helpful and friendly.
This was one of the worst hotels on our trip in terms of physical environment of our room. Room is quite tight, but laid out efficiently. Bathroom is up one step – a toe-stubber for sure. Toilet was erratic in flushing and required assistance from reception staff on 2 occasions. Air conditioner does the job in cooling – but it is noisy; filter is filthy, and it works only when you are in the room with the key card in the slot.
Room 105 faces an air shaft and an adjacent rooftop would make illegal access to room relatively easy. Only 1 of 2 windows has a working lock. The combination of this lax security and the noisy a/c going on and off, made for restless nights.
Like so many hotels, everything is extra: safe deposit box in room at 2eu per day; parking at 12eu per day; wifi at 10.84eu for 24hours (but was the best internet service ever).
Breakfast at 9.80eu per person is bountiful, presided over by a motherly waitress who is cheerful, speaks no English but makes the effort to develop an understanding – smoking vs. non-smoking areas; mint vs. regular tea; hot vs. cold water; but no soy/soja milk.
