What guests think

At Occidental Atenea Mar - Adults Only, guests highlight its beachside location with sea views, comfortable beds, and generally friendly service, while noting trade-offs like a small rooftop pool, occasional maintenance issues, and being a commute from central sights.

Rooms often feel spacious with great views, but some guests report dated decor, thin walls, weak water pressure or AC, and intermittent construction noise. The gym and saunas earn praise, yet the pool is shallow, can get crowded, and was sometimes closed or too cold. Breakfast draws frequent compliments for variety and quality, though it is paid, the dining room can feel cramped, and on-site evening dining is limited. Expect a comfortable, beach-focused stay away from the city bustle.

Staff were endlessly helpful and the hotel was very clean. Beach view and access (across a couple of roads and past a sport complex) with some decent eateries on doorstep. Bed was very comfortable, with a pillow menu to fit tastes. Facilities were good for our purposes, in terms of gym, bars, terrace, and a small rooftop pool (doesn't fit many people, so difficult to get in when hotel has guests looking to use it). Water pressure was very low, shower was underwhelming. Room decor showing age (scuffed walls, minor damage to tiles on wall/floor) though nothing serious.

The hotel itself is really convenient to the beach and the Mar Bella sports centre (the reason for my trip) as well as the Diagonal Mar shopping mall. Breakfast was really nice with a lot of options and overall I was very happy with my stay.

Unser vier-tägiger Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel war leider eine große Enttäuschung. Gleich zu Beginn mussten wir 2x das Zimmer wechseln, was fast einen Tag unserer kostbaren Urlaubszeit in Anspruch nahm. Im ersten Zimmer funktionierte der Fernseher nicht, und die Dusche ließ sich erst nach etwa zehn Minuten regulieren. Zudem war es im ersten und zweiten Obergeschoss extrem laut, und die Zimmer waren schlecht gereinigt. Das zweite Zimmer bot direkten Poolblick, war aber noch lauter und fühlte sich an, als würde man direkt am Pool wohnen. Das dritte Zimmer hatte zwar funktionierende Geräte, aber es wies Wochen alte Spinnweben, fremde Haare im Sanitärbereich und beschädigtes Holz an Tür und Zarge auf. Die öffentlichen Bereiche des Hotels wirkten stark abgenutzt und waren ebenfalls schlecht bis gar nicht gereinigt. Während der Poolbereich sauber war, sorgte eine gegenüberliegende Mülldeponie für eine lästige Fliegenplage, die den Aufenthalt dort erheblich beeinträchtigte. Darüber hinaus waren die Handwerksarbeiten im Nachbarzimmer so intensiv, dass unser Bett regelrecht vibrierte. Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt durch die ständigen Unannehmlichkeiten und den mangelhaften Service stark getrübt. Wir können dieses Hotel leider nicht weiterempfehlen.

But we didn’t complain about it until we checked out. Maybe it could have been fixed. There was a nice assortment of personal items (shower cap, sewing kit, shaving kit, dental kit, but no tissues. There was some black mold in the grout lines of the shower.

The Occidental was a good stay for a short time, it was close to the beach and surrounding restaurants. The rooms seemed nice at first, however bedsheets were torn, and just general wear and tear around the room. The hot water stopped working one evening and the suggestion was to go down to the gym area to shower which wasn't ideal unfortunately, they said it happens sometimes however in our 4 night stay we only noticed it once. Other than that it was a decent short stay, close to metro, bus stops and restaurants!

Alors que j'avais déjà réservé une nuit dans cet hôtel, où je n'ai pas pu dormir à cause d'un problème technique sur mon véhicule, deux jours plus tard, je souhaite réserver à nouveau dans cet hôtel, mon véhicule étant réparé et je me trompe de date. Je m'aperçois de mon erreur dans les deux minutes qui suivent. Or la Direction de cet hôtel n'a pas voulu décaler la nuitée d'un jour et j'ai été facturé entièrement. Aucune excuse, aucune explication, le médiateur d'Hotel.com n'a même pas pu s'expliquer au téléphone, le réceptionniste a coupé la communication, c'est totalement inadmissible. La Direction n'est pas du tout commerciale, c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire. Personnellement, c'est la première et dernière fois que j'e tente une réservation dans cet hôtel.

Lovely hotel and room but the evening staff manager that checked us in made us feel really uncomfortable. Very surly, did not greet us well, did not listen to our request for quiet room and put us opposite lift, when requested to move told us they were fully booked but when challenged suddenly found a room. It’s a shame because all other staff we met were charming and helpful but this guy, did not come over very well at all. Great lady’s on reception and breakfast manager made my 50th birthday with a lovely cake. Lovely room and hotel otherwise.

Thank you.

The hotel is located within walking distance from the beach and many beachside restaurants. Its location would be best in the summer in order to be close to the beach, however, it is about a 50 minute walk to downtown or about a 10 minute cab ride. Awesome gym, pool, and patio. Parking is 18 euro a night

This hotel is 500 yards from the beach and a 35 minute taxi from the airport. A 15 minute walk to the metro and then 7 minutes into Barcelona. It’s a good hotel with decent facilities. If your not bothered about being in the hussle and bussle of central Barcelona and don’t mind a short commute this is a viable option. Relatively well kitted out too. I come back at the right price.

This is a good, average, comfortable choice. Nothing fancy, not extremely modern, nothing bad to say but nothing to make you say wow. It’s just a nice average place. The pool is pretty small. The breakfast and room service is very simple, very repetitive, very average. I would stay again if it’s reasonably priced but it’s definitely not a place you spend top dollar for.
