Barcelo Atenea Mar

Well, the one night's stay didn't start well, after leaving our campsite and driving to Barcelona in time to check in, only to be told by the snooty receptionist that our room wasn't ready- with no apology we were told we could wait in reception or go away and come back! Not very helpful regarding parking either! So my daughter and I waited in reception while my husband went off to park the car. We waited for about 30 to 40 minutes before I went back to reception to enquire if our room was ready, to be informed by the lovely man that it was- don't know how long it had been ready but he was obviously not gping to tell us! Our stay was fine, transport links good using both the nearby metro stations, and we had a lovely walk into town along the promenade walk from the hotel- would recommend to anyone who enjoys people watching. The other staff we came across were much more helpful- maybe he was having a bad day?

Bonnes prestations ; hôtel bien situé en bord de mer, parking intéressant, petit déjeuner avec buffet copieux, restaurant el comedor très raffiné, cependant front de mer peu animé ; excellent équipement permettant un repos réparateur ; métro à 1500m permettant de nombreux déplacements vers les lieux culturels.

Decent hotel with friendly staff but not very close to center. We did hop-on hop-off bus that departed right out side the hotel so it wasn't bad. Nice access to beach and good places to eat close by.

Location was a 10-15 minute walk to a subway stop. Also- hop-no - hop-off bus had a stop almost in front of the hotel. Neighborhood had many small and good, if unpretentious, restaurants. My wife and I were very happy with location and hotel.

This was a very friendly hotel. The rooms were bright and spacious.The check in service was quick and the staff on the reception desk were most helpful.The food on the set evening menu was very good and very reasonably priced.The tour bus stopped just along the road and also a 41 bus which will take you to the Airobus for transport to the airport.

We were in town for a convention and stayed at this hotel 5 days. Unfortunately, one day the elevators broke and our room was on the 9th floor! That same day a water pipe broke and we had no running water or toilet. You can imagine how difficult that was in 90 degree weather. The hotel did not compensate us. Some of the staff were very helpful but others were unfriendly and unhelpful (a mixed bag). There is only one ice machine for the entire hotel on the 1st floor -- get it while you can!

We only spent one night but the hotel was beautiful. They offered wireless internet for a small fee which we took advantage of. The location is right across the street from the beach.

I was very pleased with the room and the service. They went beyond the normal service and helped me.
