The Barcelo Atenea Mar is situated a little outside of the main downtown of Barcelona, but it is close to both bus and subway stops and the tourist bus stops at its door. Its location across the street from the beach is convenient and we always felt safe when departing or arriving on foot. The room we had was a... more

Spacious rooms, but poor location, with walk through quiet slightly grotty streets to nearest Metro. Busy dual carriageway and grotty carpark between hotel and beach. Easy walk to CCIB. more

Can't fault this hotel for use by a large group. Spacious enough rooms, clean. Only downside is that not strictly central to Barcelona, and you'll be paying a EUR5-10 cab fare to travel to and from many attractions. Still, four of you in a taxi, it isn't expensive - especially when you can get rooms for EUR85 per night. more

This hotel is not geared up for business meetings despite having conference/meeting rooms. Audio visual equipment had to be brought in from else where, no flexibility on coffee breaks/ lunchtimes, staff not helpful,. They cleared away our meeting rooms a day early - saying they thought we had left! Sitting area/bar area very small - if all meeting rooms ere... more

Wanted a hotel close to Beach, but within reach of the city - this hotel is just that, though a little further from the city than we would have liked. Hotel is a typical large, conference hotel with zero atmosphere, clean rooms and a small Jacuzzi, Sauna and... more

the staff is very unfriendly and unhelpful. we experienced several days of getting no towels, one day of having no water and one day having no elevator service (we were on the 8th floor). the staff neither advised, assisted or answered any of our questions with these problems. we do not speak spanish, so language was a huge barrier for... more

Nice clean hotel right opposite the beach. Only problems i had were that my window faced a bench outside on the pavements and would sometimes have loud American tourists yelling on this bench until up to 3am! Nice breakfast in morning too but be sure to get there early before it is all gone. For me as i was on... more

We stayed three nights at this hotel with my wife and two teenage sons. We had two rooms since they don't allow more than 3 to a room. The rooms were very clean and the beds were very nice and comfortable. We had a nice view of the ocen from our room. The bathrooms are fantastic as many other reviewers... more
