Atenea Port Barcelona Mataró
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Atenea Port Barcelona Mataró is worth booking if you want a four-star base by the marina with a spa and gym for not much more than a mid-range room. Skip it if you need to be a short walk from central Barcelona or if a heated pool matters to you.

This is our Luxury pick for Mataró. At a reference price of €93.85 a night it costs only a few euros more than the city's mid-range options, so the upgrade to four stars is cheap here.
It suits couples and families who want a seafront-style stay with a spa, a gym and a buffet breakfast, and who are happy to treat Mataró as their base rather than Barcelona itself. Family rooms are listed by the property.
Skip it if your plan is to spend every day in Barcelona and you hate commuting, or if you expect five-star polish. It is a four-star hotel chosen because no five-star option was in the sample, and our rule is that a four-star fallback must score at least 8.5. This one scores exactly that.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits at Passeig Maritim, 324, on the waterfront road. Guests describe it as by the marina, near the beach and near the train station, and several mention sea views. We have not confirmed which rooms face the sea, so ask when you book if a view matters.
The Mataró Museum is about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot. That walking time is a straight-line estimate, so the real route may take a little longer. The location score from guests is 9 out of 10.
Beach appears in the provider's facility list, but that does not confirm a beachfront position or a precise walk to the sand. Check the map before you book if you want to step straight onto the beach.
What guests say
The overall guest score is 8.5 out of 10 from 2,275 reviews. Two themes come up most in praise. The first is the setting by the marina, with the beach and the station close by. The second is breakfast: guests call the buffet plentiful, with a wide variety of choices.
The main complaint is about the pool. It is a large outdoor area with harbour views, but guests say the water can be cold and the sunbeds lack cushions. Check whether it is open for your dates.
Price and how it compares with our other Mataró picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, put this hotel at €93.85 a night. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your own dates.
Our Budget pick, B&B HOTEL Barcelona Mataro, was €76.68 a night with a guest score of 8.0 and 2 stars. Our Best Value pick, New Hotel Colon, was €88.46 a night with 8.4 and 3 stars. That means Atenea costs about €17 a night more than the budget option and about €5 more than the best value pick, while adding a spa, a gym, a pool and a restaurant on the listing.
Whether breakfast is included in the rate was not assessed. The buffet is popular, so compare a room-only rate with a breakfast rate before you pay.
