Barcelo Hotel Atenea Mar - Barcelona, Spain 

"Great Modern Hotel"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
I loved the hotel, the furnishings were very comtempory and the place is brand new. Its located about 20 -25 mins out of the town centre on bus 41, but directly across from the beach. So it depends on what kind of holiday you want - if its partying you're after then this is probably not the hotel for you. The bed is very comfortable here and staff, though a bit slow, are helpful. Shopping at Diagonal Mar is great, about 7mins walk, or if you're lazy catch the 41 bus, its the last stop. Oh, did i mention the view...very nice indeed. Do remember to buy the T-10 bus card, so you pay 0.63euros per journey instead of the single trips at 1.15euros. The Aerobus stops directly outside el cort ingles at placa catalunya and goes every 15mins on the hour. Barcelona is a fantastic place to go, and make sure you visit Sagrada Familia, although not completed - the architecture is simply amazing!

Very nice surroundings, only issue is distance from city centre (which I knew beforehand) that does not make the particular location handy for quick visits. Whoever is on a daily "heavy" touristic schedule though, should not encounter any problems...

Ottimo albergo (tutto in stile moderno), camere spaziose e ben arredate ottimo il bagno in camera; un po' distante dal centro ma tranquillamente col bus turistico o il tram 41 si arriva in centro e la fermata è a 50 mt(la fermata della metropolitana è tre isolati più in la') Ottimo il servizio e la pulizia delle stanze e della hall oltre che del ristorante: quest'ultimo è stata una buona sorpresa, piatti di qualità a prezzi abbordabili a differenza dei ristoranti turistici....
