"Perfect location, would book again"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
This hotel is perfectly situated off Las Ramblas and Placa Catalunya. The staff is extremely friendly and were able to help with several recommendations. I would recommend that you bring towels and pillows with you, as theirs are somewhat undersized and not too comfy. Other than that, the room was adequately sized (for Europe), the bathroom was amazing, and the hotel was nice and quiet, despite their close proximity to the heart of the city. They even have a free ice machine on the ground floor. I have already recommended this hotel to a colleague and would definitely stay here agian. Make sure to have the churros at the cafe next door!
"Stay Was Great Except for the Noise"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
We stayed on the top floor, and the room was nice, spacious, clean, and elegant. However, I kept waking up throughout the night because the elevator motors would make a loud noise when people used the elevator. It wasn't a huge problem during the week when less people were using the elevator at night, but it constantly woke me up over the weekend, when people were up all hours of the night. So be warned...

Excellent location. Small and clean hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in February, 2013. Suggest to ask for higher floor to minimize outside noise.
"On the ocean"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
The Platjador was wonderful and the staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The rates were very reasonable and the breakfast was terrific. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel for three days, it's a nice apartment style room with a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The room is fine, though the beds weren't as comfortable as some other hotels that we stayed in across Spain. The hotel is nicely located near two metro stops for getting around and has a really great breakfast that you get a discount on. […] Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

"Perfect for families"
All employees were very accommodating. Service was great.Genuine Expedia guest review
Very nice hotel, but if I knew then what I know now I would stay by La Rambla. This is were we went every day for everything (food, gifts, walks, beach, etc...). The trip from the hotel is only 15min on the train, but it wouild have been better to stay were the action is.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Pre-cruise stay in Barcelona"
We found the hotel clean, reasonably up to date (apparently some renovation had been underway over the winter, although we couldn't see the difference, not having been there before) and comfortable. The beds were a bit hard. The staff was friendly and helpful and spoke English, providing us with city maps, allowing us to store our luggage until the […] room was ready and arranging a taxi for us for the next morning. The breakfast was included and very good. We didn't eat dinner there, as in common with with Spanish practice, dinner was served later than we cared to wait, beginning at 8 PM) The hotel is just two blocks north of the Les Corts metro station. We took advantage of that and took a reasonably priced and quick metro ride to the city center for a day of sightseeing. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Review Aparthotel Atenea in Barcelona, Spain"
Selected this hotel on a recommendation of agent with Hotels.Com. Was pleased with hotel but having no knowledge of Barcelona I would have chosen one closer to center of town. Arrived from our flight at 8am so room was not available. Was able to store our baggage and was advised that we could catch the Red Line double deck tour bus two blocks from the […] hotel. It was over 6 blocks in the rain and on the other side of the Barcelona Football Stadium and was unable to have anyone on the street help us because of language. Once there it is a great way to spend the day at 17 Euro's being able to get on and off. When we returned they were having a football game and the stadium holds 100,000 fans which made our walk back to the hotel interesting. The next day we had to take a taxi to catch a tour that we had scheduled. Found out later that we could have caught the subway which was only a block away to both locations. Used it on the return from the tour and had no problems purchasing tickets. Used a taxi to go to Cruise Terminal and he dropped us off at the front of terminal and helped get a porter for our bags. Other than being a long way from downtown the rates are very good and much less that other hotels that people on the cruise had used. Now that we know our way around I would do it again.

"Aparthotel Atenea in Barcelona"
Our stay at Aparthotel Atenea was an excellent one, extremely enjoyable because of the courtesy and helfulness of the staff, which accomodated all our requests and fixed a confusion with our reservation in a matter of minutes. Additionally, our room was very pleasant and the kitchen was fully equipped with much more than what we had available at similar […] hotels. We would like to underscore how impressed we are with the level of professionalism of their staff, in particular their FrontDesk Manager, who went above and beyond her duties and helped us with the multiple issues that arose with the international delivery of a package that arrived at the hotel only after we had left. Thank you to all at Aparthotel Atenea, Maria S Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Best for less"
We enjoyed the hotel for the reasons below: 1. Best location - 1 mint walking from les corts metro station. and 10 mints from this metro to Placa Catlunia by the metro. 2. a very clean and comfortable room. 3. the kitchen corner was very useful. 4. great service from the stuff, we will be back.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location for what I was doing in Barcelona"
I enjoyed the closeness to the conference that I attended and also that it was a spacious apartment. Although it might not be close to anything, it is very close to transport that gets you everywhere in Barcelona. I'd come again if I had another conference in the same location.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Will come back anytime"
Very convenient location and great service. Close to subway, good thing the service ends before 12AM. (actually you will feel it when it is coming). Next time I am in Barcelona, I will plan to stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"less than ordinary , it should be 3 stars and less"
1st all the rooms in the hotel are the same size which is small , so it doesnt matter if 1 or 4 ( like in my case with my wife and sons ) reside in the room , actually i paid double the price and i was surprised that the extra bed was a sofa that opens and closes , i had to sleep on that sofa for 1 weeks and it was not comfortable at all . 2nd : the […] AC in the room was not working and it was very cold especially the 7th level , i informed the reception and they told me it is not working and it will take at least 1 month ! to repair it , i told them what to do , they answered : we cant do anything , i insisted because my children were feeling cold then they provided a very cheap electricity heater !! 3rd: the breakfast was very boring , we had to eat egg every day and whenever a dish finished , no immediate refilling 4th : maintenance : i informed the reception in the 1st day that the handle of the toliet door was out of its place and they promised they will fix but they didnt for 1 week ! and also the door of the toilet was not closing properly Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Will return to the same hotel."
We stayed in Aparthotel Atenea from Oct. 7 till 14. We could not choose any better. The hotel is in a quiet part of Barcelona - Les Corts, few steps from L3 metro which gets you to all places to be seen in Barcelona. The hotel staff was exceptional, very friendly, professional, helpful and accommodating. We bothered them with many issues but still they […] were patient and nice. Breakfast always had variety to choose from and delicious coffee, good restaurant next door and in the hotel and another one up the hill. I recommend this hotel to anybody going to Barcelona.

Very happy with my stay at this hotel. Staff courteous and helpful. Location is excellent, close to Maria Cristina metro, one-half block from rear entrance to El Corte Ingles, which has handy pastry shop and grocery in basement, good for lunch on a budget. Close to Diagonal shopping. Only small problem - it was difficult for me to understand how to […] set thermostat for a.c. However, staff arrived promptly and explained.

"Great location, with friendly staff"
Was upgraded to superior room for an extra cost but am unsure what was superior about the room. It was a fair size with comfy sitting area to watch telly, but only 3 average English channels. No cupboard space to hang clothing. Room was very warm and claustrophobic as could not open any windows. Found bed and pillows very uncomfortable. Hard. Surprised […] not to find any tea or coffee or milk in room although had an adequate kitchen section. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was fine as only stayed one night. Have been looking for somewhere to stay for about five days and don't think I could manage to stay in that room for that length of time as no access to fresh air. Location was great for my needs tho Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

A comfortable hotel not luxurious, two minutes to walk to metro and within 15 minutes of most major attractions by taxi (20 minutes by metro).Dining facilites were average compared with the quality, presentation and choices of locations within a reasonable distance of this location. Good value for money.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Hotel & Location"
This is an apartment type hotel in a quite location close to the La Diagonal, Buses, Metro stations and shopping, with easy reach to tourist areas, the port and beaches. Rooms have separate sitting areas and small-equipped kitchens (no dish washer or washing machine). The apartment was comfortable, but can do with an update for a 4* Hotel. Restaurant […] was a surprise. The food was well prepared, presented and good. The rooms can do with updating. One thing that frustrates me with some hotels is when you need to ask for things that should be present in the room. After all, they advertise the room as having them. We had to ask for kitchen set, Iron and Ironing board. Overall a pleasant stay Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
I travelled to Barcelona at the beginning of Sept 2012. The hotel is located near Les Corts metro station (L3 line) and it takes around 15 minutes to get to Placa Catalunya and La Rambla (downtown). I was very pleased with the hotel and the location. The main turistic attractions are very crowded and noisy. Staying outside of these areas was better […] for me. The rooms are apartments equipped with a small kitchen, useful for people with children or people with specific diets for which eating outside three times per day is not a good choice. There is a big grocery store next door. There is a safety deposit box in the room. The rooms were cleaned every day, the towels and bed sheets were changed every day as well. The livingroom in the apartment was a little outdated. The hotel staff is speaking fluent English and they are polite and eager to help. The Reception has a guest PC and a printer. The tourists can leave their luggage at the hotel for few hours after check out. The hotel is close to the football arena Camp Nou. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and I would recommend Atenea Aparthotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good choice for families"
Good central location close to metro. Premium family room comfortable but children (12 and 9) had issues with springs in the sofa bed which were solved by sleeping at opposite end of bed.

"Good hotel, satisfying, but can improve"
Hotel was good, and the staff was helpful. The problem is with the bed, and the shower. Sofa bed was keeps making noise with the springs, and the shower only gives hot or cold water. There was no real thermostat in it, so we can adjust the water temp. Had room serviced every day, and location was great. Close to les court station, which can take to […] central Barcelona. Made the mistake with taking the T10 ticket, and end up taking 5 of them. There is a T50 ticket, which would be cheaper, and decide first. Use the Barcelona city tour, but realised metro reaches all the destinations as well.. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Fabulous for those who like to self cater"
We had a great time at this hotel and would book again. The room was very clean and modern. We had a double bed, sofa and fantastic bathroom. The kitchen was able to meet all our needs although there was no kettle. We especially enjoyed the cable television and appreciated the daily room service. The air con always kept the room at a good temperature […] and the free toiletries were appreciated. The shower was probably the best I have ever used. The location was also excellent and felt very safe. Only 2 minutes from el cortes supermarket and 3 minutes from the metro with the main sites being only 10-20 minutes away. The hotel staff were very friendly and spoke english. We had a fabulous time in Barcelona and our lovely hotel played a big part. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A good Hotel"
The staff were very helpful and the lobby area very good. Free wifi was appreciated. Room was a good size, with kitchen and sofa, clean and well serviced. I have no complaints. I would only comment that while this 4 star Hotel is certainly better than 3 stars, it probably sits towards the lower end of the 4 star range but can't quite put my finger on […] why! The area is good and felt very safe, with quick access to local bars and the Metro I would certainly stay here again at the price I obtained. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK - eventually..."
Several of the room facilities listed were absent - There was no video game console, no coffee/tea maker, no "welcome amenities" (whatever they were) and the air conditioning was, we were told, switched off throughout the hotel, but "might be on later today or tomorrow." The room was stiflingly hot on the first night as a result, and when I showed the […] receptionist the list of missing facilities, he produced... one plastic kettle. Well, it was an inprovement on boiling a pan of water on the hob - not exactly the safest option. On the last day, a kitchen pack (cloth, washing-up liquid and a sponge) appeared, as did a toiletries pack with razor and toothbrush etc., so apart from the games console (which to be fair I'd said we weren't bothered about) all the promised items finally showed up - but only in time for the last evening. Considering this was a family room, the sofa bed was small, sloping and not especially comfortable. Other than that, it was clean, the twin beds were fine, and the place generally was of good quality. A pity we had to badger them to get the things we had paid for...

"Faulty Towers"
When I booked, there was no mention of building works in progress. There was a fair amount of dust and fumes, some of which was detected in my room - not ideal for my 3 year old son. The room door security was poor - bad fitting and no chain lock. The safe needed a key which required a deposit of 20 Euros (I didn't get my deposit back). I didn't get […] the room I booked, the double bed was in fact two single beds that kept separating. The kitchenette was usable except there was no kettle and the hot plates took about 30 mins to boil a pan of water.

"The Aparthotel Atenea in Barcelona is perfect for"
We chose this hotel because we wanted to be away from the center and have a larger room. The small kitchen was perfect for a lazy breakfast and light snacks.

"good value for money"
Room was a lovely size and very spacious. Lots of wardrobe room with a safe one side. Key for the safe was available from reception with a returnable deposit. Kitchen area was small but adequate, though its worth noting the grill is in a microwave combo. The kitchen was well equipped with pans, plates and cutlery, and a washing kit is available from […] reception. The cleaning was to a high standard and every part of the apartment was cleaned daily. If you hang the card on the door handle though you can enjoy a sleep in with no disturbance! Whilst it is true that the hotel is not in the most prime location it is very close to a big shopping area, and there is a big department store (including a supermarket) 2 minutes up the road. The Metro station (Les Corts) is within sight literally a minute down the road which makes travelling anywhere very easy, and you can easily walk to the Nou Camp which is one of the stops on the official bus tour (highly recommended) even f you're not interested in the football! There may have been a few small parts of the room showing a bit of age, but for what you get in the room it was great value for money. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
