1. Instituto Hemingway reviews
Here are some details of specific reviews of honest students:
I had the opportunity to do my internship on the coast and to work in a very nice hotel
close to the beach. I learned how to manage a hotel by doing lots of different things:
welcoming customers, allocating rooms for them and even cook a continental breakfast
for them! It was really rewarding to have direct contact with customers and also to
discover the countryside of Spain.
I met a lot of young people coming from whole Europe and we had lots of fun together.
Above all I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere I found there. The staff was young and
dynamic and we had good times together: we went to the clubs, had lots of parties and
enjoyed many of the famous events in Spain!!
People at Instituto Hemingway were very helpful!!
I participated in the Hospitality Management scheme offered by Instituto Hemingway. It was a
great experience. I made some amazing friends, perfected my Spanish and improved my
confidence (I had always been a fairly shy person) but working in the hotel greatly improved my
communication skills because I had to deal with a lot of customers. The staff at the hotel were
great. They really helped me get a feel for the job, and were always so patient when I spoke
Spanish (my Spanish wasn´t that great when I arrived). The only thing that I think I should stress
is the importance of taking the job seriously. The staff at hotel where I worked were really
friendly but they take their job seriously. I was accepted as part of the team but I had to make
sure that everything I did was done to the high standard that the hotel expects. However, I think
that as long as you try your best you´ll be fine and this will prove to be a life-changing
experience. I would also advise you to do any travelling that you want to do before or after you
complete the programme. The hotel will accept you on to the team but it`s important that you
are professional. Spain is a great place but going on holiday whilst you´re supposed to be
working (or cutting your stay short) doesn´t create the best impression. I really miss my time at
the hotel and really wish I could go back. Enjoy your time there! This is a great review to fund
my year in Spain.
