| | | | Barcelo Hotel Atenea Mar: Modern Hotel, Near the Sea Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
The hotel is very comfortable, very modern. It's right across from Marbella Beach, not too bad a walk to the other sea attractions. It's probably not for everyone-its not exactly in the city center, but I was happy there.
The hotel has a spa, including a steam room and jacuzzi...just the thing after a hard day's touring. Maybe the best thing, though, was the free cyber cafe in the bar. It was so great to send emails home and to friends, and to check football scores (allright, especially to check football scores!)
Also, the views are terrific-either the city on one side (my room-my first real look at Barcelona), or the sea on the other side. I hope my pic does the view justice.

| | | | Apartments in Barcelona: Very, very good Hostel | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
If it weren't for an internet search on hostels.com I did before I left home, I would never have found this place. Despite its dead-center location in the old Gothic Quarter of town, oddly-named Apartments in Barcelona is almost totally hidden, like some chic LA nightclub with no sign on the door.
I'm glad I did find it though. It's a small, immaculate hostel run by a very friendly young couple. Even though it sits on one of Barcelona's main boulevards it seemed to me to be very quiet (although I wasn't in the street-facing side of the building). The beds are new and comfortable, there's a cozy little lounge with couch and tv, and a sparkling clean, fully-equipped kitchen. The bathrooms are also totally satisfactory, however the showers are very small (the only thing I was unhappy with in fact).
A bed in a six-bed dorm was 19.50 Euros. I'm not sure about the rest of the rates.
Location is great. The hostel is quite new and therefore doesn't have that dirty, rundown feel that so many do. Staff is very friendly and I think I recall there was no curfew or lockout. There are private rooms for couples traveling together, but be sure to book in advance for those because they were full in January, so you could expect the same in high season.

Principal is another way of saying "first floor". There is little if any markings on the building, but that's the address.
