    The pool was very small and there was a group of german guys who brought their own speaker and were blasting music & making alot of noise. Even though it’s forbidden to do this. None of the staff stopped them as they were very loud and you couldn’t relax. One of the guests complained to one of the staff members but nothing happened.

    It was clean and near to the beach and bus stops (5min walk) metro (10min walk). The pool area was nice. The gym was well equipped for a hotel.

    Nothing . We had a late ish flight so did need somewhere to get changed on last day as we had checked out . We are able to use the gym shower which was fine but quite small if you were a larger family group

    Great service lovely quiet pool area . Superb cocktails and also enjoyed lunch at pool bar on last day . Plenty of choice at breakfast

    We chose Atenea Mar because we wanted a cosy hotel close to the beach and a bit from downtown. Clean rooms, friendly staff and decent rooms without anything extravagant or fancy. Choose this hotel if you are looking for a standart 4 star hotel with a good breakfast in a more quiet part of Barcelona. Access to electric bikes at the hotel makes it easy to bike into the city without geting disturbed by the nightlife :) We are not to pick on ammenities and did not visit the gym or spa, we would recoment this to someone who

    I didn’t like the staff member who checked us in — he was rude and unwelcoming. I know his name but prefer not to mention it. When we got to the room, the key cards didn’t work, and we had to go back down using one of the only two slow elevators, which involved a long wait. Two elevators are definitely not enough for a 12-floor building. I also didn’t like the swimming pool — it was too small. On the day of checkout, we unfortunately encountered the same rude staff member again, who informed us that late checkout would cost 80 euros. While I understand this might be the hotel policy, it should be communicated politely and professionally — not in a dismissive or mocking tone

    I really liked the location — it was nice and well situated. The room was well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, and I especially appreciated the staff who handled the luggage — they were professional and very helpful.

    Our room stunk of weed as someone kept smoking in the fire exit. Alcoholic cocktails were full of water. Air conditioning was poor. Shower was weak. Pool was tiny and not as the photos suggest.

    The location worked really well for us as my son wanted to train on the athletics track…A good breakfast available and the staff were friendly.

    Breakfast was just fine. It would have benefited from more choice, for example somebody cooking fresh pancakes. The scrambled eggs were not good. The shower was confusing to use and the bath did not drain properly. The keycards kept stopping working and the door to the pool needs addressing. It would have been good to have beach towels provided in the bedroom.

    The location is super close to the beach, which is perfect. The room was very comfortable.

    Wasn’t thrilled about the surprise 3rd party prepayment to UAE, instead of standard booking dot com payment. Booked a double room and got two single beds pushed together like an infant’s bedroom! A/C didn’t work in one of our rooms but they did fix it. Expected pool to be bigger. Water doesn’t reach to your knees when you stand up. Hotel was adults only so not sure why the pool seemed to be made to be baby friendly!

    Location is opposite a nice section of beach, but as a result it is quite a way from the city and its attractions. On one hand it is nice and quiet, but on the other hand it is a conscious effort to go back into the city.
