Hello!
Today I go on with the description of Barcelona hotels, one particular cheap Barcelona hotel, which is going to be reviewed is Aparthotel Atenea Calabria. This is a 3-star hotel in the heart of the Eixample of Barcelona. The first time I stayed there last year and it was mainly an overnight stop while traveling from Ibiza to France rather than a visit to the city. That’s why I had no time to explore the city’s places of interest, which are close to Aparthotel Atenea Barcelona: it was very central to Montjuic, Plaza de Espanya, Camp Nou, and La Rambla. There was one more advantage of this particular hotel over similar Barcelona accommodation options – the metro station, which was only a block and a half away from the hotel. Plus there was an easy access to the main transportation routes, which made it very easy to get around the city (the second stay in this hotel was a little longer than the first one and I was able to get acquainted with the hotel surroundings).
I booked an apartment in advance and got double room for single use, which cost EUR 85, comparatively cheap rate for city center accommodation in Barcelona. My room was rather spacious with all needed facilities. In addition to basic hotel facilities, there was a small kitchen with refrigerator, tea and coffee making facilities (which I did not use during my first stay, but enjoyed during the next one). I had a lounge area within my room. Sound proof windows left no worries about possible outdoor noise and I had a restful night.
As for meal plan in Aparthotel Atenea Calabria, buffet breakfast was included in the room rate. A huge choice of food for any taste was offered: bacon, beans, fried and scrambled eggs, breads, croissants and pastries, but not many cereals or fruit, which I usually prefer for breakfast.
The overall impression of the Aparthotel Atenea Calabria in Barcelona was very positive, that’s why I returned to the hotel.
That’s all for now. Bye!
