Hotel Attica 21 Barcelona Mar

Barcelona Nice clean hotel , rooms were good size , the hotel was spotless, the cleaners were great , room was spotless everyday, breakfast was nice good choice to accommodate all, swimming pool on the roof top was great, could maybe do with a little bar on the roof top , location of the hotel was good not far from the local beach , and about a 10 minutes taxi drive in to the centre, bakery down the street was delicious, highly recommend, couple of supermarkets close by also , ideal location if u want city break / some relaxing time with pool beach etc .

Hotel Attitude 21 Me and my friend stayed at this hotel for 1 week. Facilities were beautiful and clean, Ester and Joanna on the cleaning team really saved the hotel for us. The most helpful and gorgeous women who really put their heart and soul into their jobs. Rooms were given fresh towels waters etc every day and cleaned before we got back from breakfast. The male staff at the front desk were unaccommodating, rude and condisending from the moment we arrived, not even welcoming us on arrival but grunting in our faces and speaking Spanish after we’d already said we didn’t speak good. First impressions mean a lot when you’ve travelled through the night. He did however speak perfectly good English when he arrived for a noise complaint one evening. We’d been in the hotel for 5 days and never had anyone else on our floor. The rooms are advertised as ‘sound proof’. We turned the music off immediately and he arrived again to tell us to finish the music as the Spanish family next door had complained again, which at that point the music was turned off. A TV would have been louder and it was 11pm. Most hotels have a 12pm limit. We were threatened with the police which we found unjust considering we had done what was asked of us and turned the music off. Very clear he doesnt like English people from observing his interactions with different people in the hotel and also reading other reviews. Very accommodating to his other guests. I will say this massively let the hotel down being two young girls on their travels, as it gives an uneasy and unsafe feeling. There are nice ways to arrive for noise complaints and to welcome ur guests when they arrive, I know this having worked in hotels myself. Poolside was lovely could do with a few more sunloungers, especially since you pay a lot for the hotel to have a pool. We were also told 50€ deposit would be paid but not taken and would be shown as pending when we arrived, but it turned out it was actually taken and then would be refunded. We were misinformed, and spoken to like we were stupid. This was out of our holiday fund so very worrying to not get back before we left. This we’ve never had whilst travelling before and did try get refunded before we left incase it was a scam, but the hotel refused. Once again leaving us feeling uneasy after speaking to the male staff who clearly doesn’t like English women. City was absolutely amazing and so was the location and facilities just too much sexism , Prejudice and tension from the male staff.

Great Hotel, Great Location We stayed at Attica21 for 2 nights prior to a cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are spacious and clean, breakfast was plentiful but I have to mention the reception staff especially Ana, so helpful and chatty, nothing too much trouble, a credit to the hotel, The hotel is ideally situated out of the city but really easy to take the metro into the more touristy areas. An easy 10 minute walk to an area where you can find restaurants and ice creams. We will definitely return

Nice hotel, but no welcome factor The hotel itself is modern and clean. I didn't mind the location, which was away from the main city attractions but close to the beach. However, now that I've experienced the city, I would want somewhere a bit more central. The room was a decent size and clean. The breakfast was pretty good and the catering staff were pleasant and polite. We used the bar a couple of times, and the barman was really nice and chatty. My only gripe was the male reception staff. There were zero pleasantries from them, and every enquiry seemed a chore to them. They need to remember that they're in the hospitality business, and a smile doesn't take much. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but I'm not sure I'd rush back to this particular hotel. I genuinely felt it missed the welcome factor.

Modern hotel with friendly service near the beach Not central but Modern clean hotel in location near to the beach and the promenade. About 30 mins walk along the beach to the city center. Close to underground and tram stations that take you into town in 10-15 mins. 7 mins walk from Diagonal Mar shopping center. 39 mins in taxi to the airport. Good breakfast, comfortable bed and friendly service. No evening restaurant but plenty of places around.
