Hotel AtlantisEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Though not the most original place we’ve ever visited, the family-run Hotel Atlantis is a nice and easy place to stay. The 50-room hotel is efficient, organized and reliable. With three well-polished stars, the Atlantis is a great option for business travelers or student groups—it has all the amenities a working visitor in Barcelona might need, plus a very central location.

Rooms, done up in navy blue, silver and dark wood, are of the “generic hotel chain” variety. All are well-equipped, with a desk, flat-screen TV, telephone, minibar, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Several rooms also have balconies but the view looking on to Carrer Pelai may not be the most desirable, as it is often bustling with traffic.

Bathrooms are standard and spotless, and all are equipped with bathtubs. Expect toiletries, hair dryers and fluffy towels. Like the rest of this hotel, bathrooms are uniform with no surprises (usually a good thing when it comes to showering).

On the hotel’s first floor is an office work-center and a bar with snacks and drinks, open daily from 6:30 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. Each floor also has its own lounge area with fat white sofas and glass-top coffee tables.

While we don’t love the location, it is incredibly convenient: Atlantis is close to Pl. Catalunya and the airport bus, taxis, the Metro and all city bus lines. A local tip: Instead of eating along Pelai, where the hotel is located, head around the corner to Calle Tallers for dinner.
