This hotel was right across the street from a beach. It was about a 10-15 minute walk to Port Olympic, and about a 5 Euro cab ride to La Rambla. I loved the location! As for cleanliness, it was extremely clean, and the hotel decor was fresh and new. The staff were reasonably friendly and parking was available for 15... more

It's a big hotel, very clean and nice, location wise is perfect, next to one of the best beaches [Marbella] in Barcelona [there are nice beach parties Weekend nights as well] and bus 41 takes you in 10-15 minutes to the Barcelona city center. it lacks character and a personal service if that's what you are after. more

We booked the hotel online a couple of weeks before we were due to travel and received email confirmation. However, when we arrived (at 11.00pm) they realised there was a mistake with the booking and had booked us in for August not July! and the hotel was fully booked! Nightmare! However they rang around for an alternative hotel for us... more

Barcelo Atenea Mar is a great hotel. It is very modern, faces the Mediterranean, free internet cafe and close to a bus stop for easy access to the inner city. we had no problem whatsoever with the hotel, but it could have been a little better if the hotel was more in the city. more

We drove from Reus airport (100km away) had no idea how to find the hotel as the hotel website location details are dire. We finally arrived after driving around barcelona for an hour and stopping in a friendly beach side cafe for directions. Free underground car park is a plus for those driving. We booked this hotel specially because it... more

We chose this hotel as it was a cheaper option than others more centrally located. Because it was a short walk to the metro, getting around Barcelona wasn't a problem. It was around a 20 minute walk to Port Olympic. We had an inexpensive cab ride to the airport. Nearby was a lovely park, a mall and the beach (it... more
