Arenas Atiram Hotel

The hotel location is undermined by the lack of maintenance in the rooms and overall state of disrepair. The staff, mostly non-local, are pretty much at a loss when it comes to provide any assistance. There was no working temperature or fan control in my room so I resorted to opening the window in a warm night, earbuds on.

Hotel located near to the stadion camp nou (walk around 15 min). Near to the metro (4 min by the walk - L3 line which You can go to Barcelona centre and port). Nice clean rooms, big comfortable beds, great breakfast. Good and helpfull staff (english speaking).

We stayed here for 5 days, the room was clean and spacious with a big bed. The hotel is very well located, there are lots of shops around (supermarket, carrefour..), the metro "Maria Cristina" is 5mins walk from the hotel, which is very good to get to the city center (15-20mins to get to Catalunya). The reception of the hotel were very kind and nice. The only bad point was the isolation of the room because we could sometimes hear our neighbors but only when they did scream or laugh loud. I recommend this hotel and will come back for sure for my next Barcelona trip :)

The rooms are clean and comfortable. Our room was a little warm. we could not control the air conditioning. The elevator was a little scary as it bounced when it approached a stop. They have a really nice breakfast which was not included in our reservation. It is 10 a person. We bought it and we're very pleased with it. It had fruit, pastries, eggs, cold cuts & cheese. It is far from the old town and most attractions. We had to take the metro to get places. It wasn't bad to take the metro, very easy. The metro.stop is two blocks down the street. There are also lots of restaurants in the area. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. One or two were not.

Good quiet location. Convenient for Diagonal L'illa and Pedralbes shopping. Comfortable modern rooms. Friendly reception (procedure a bit slow). Breakfast cafes across the street. Very near Palau Reial (concerts) and Camp Nou. Maria Cristina Metro 5 mins walk, which links train to Sants station and airport.

I like this hotel. The rooms are very clean and the hotel is located just a couple blocks from the Maria Cristina Metro Stop. You can basically be downtown or anywhere in the city within 15-20 minutes or 30-40 minutes to the airport. Breakfast was included in the cost of this hotel and I loved it. Fresh fruit (watermelon etc), eggs galore, and the pastries were the best. What impressed me the most about this hotel is the female employee named Isabella. It is rare to find customer service from an individual like she provides. My first night I showed up at the hotel tired and half lost and she immediately got me settled and pointed in the direction of the excellent Garlana restaurant across the street. Throughout the week she answered all the questions I had about Barcelona down to the detail of which bus number to take to certain tourist attractions around the city. She would be an excellent travel agent if she wasn't working the front desk at this hotel. The regular day staff was not as friendly and limited in their language abilities but Isabella was always a smile and she speaks at least three languages. I will stay at this hotel again and will use it for study abroad programs. Don't expect luxury but it is a clean 3-Star Hotel.

Used this for a visit to a conference. We weren't in the hotel often but it was a good clean place to get our heads down and have a spot of breakfast. Wasn't the newest of decor but ok. Breakfast was a good choice, including plenty of (very fresh) fruit, bread, meats and cheeses. The hot food (egg, sausage and bacon) wasn't so good but passable. Can recommend the Spanish omelette which was fantastic but only served on one day! Staff were all friendly and helpful.

I stayed in this hotel in November 2016 with my wife and kids. We had to take two rooms. The staff was courteous. At least those on reception understood and spoke English. The rooms were spacious. The bathroom was also good. The walls were thin and sound proofing was missing. Wifi was always available. Our room was made up and bed sheets were changed on daily basis. Heating was also good in the room. We had to open our windows sometimes as thermostat was not very effective and room became over heated. Breakfast was very good. The location of this hotel is excellent. Maria Christina metro station is at a distance of about 200 metres from this hotel. The hotel staff can also call taxi for you for airport drop etc. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

Relatively central location. Staff could be friendlier (lucky I speak Spanish!). Very good breakfast. Modern rooms that are juuuust beginning to get a bit tired. But honestly - their website claims "sound proofed rooms" - I probably couldn't have been bothered to write if it wasn't for that outrageous claim. I was actually able to record my neighbour's phone conversation on my iphone's dictaphone and still understand every word. His snoring probably wasn't that loud - it's those super-thin walls! Same for all the toilet-noises etc. All the rooms' doors are spring-closing - with a proper slam. And no guest can be bothered to slowly close theirs, so at all hours, the walls vibrate with those noises as well as the antiquated elevators. I have NEVER been anywhere this noisy before in my life.
