I stayed at the AC Sants Marriott for a couple of nights after a Mediterranean cruise. The room was pretty standard for a business traveler hotel--clean and functional, but not much privacy if you're sharing the space. The toilet area has a frosted glass door, which isn't ideal for two people. And the light switch layout will drive you crazy. If you are looking for a light switch by the sink or toilet, nope...all by the main door. Strange. They offer breakfast and dinner, but it's very basic, nothing too special. It's convenient if you need a quick bite, but you might want to explore other options nearby. One big plus is the location. It's right next to the main train station, making metro travel super easy. I'd stay there again for a short stay, but probably not for an extended visit. Overall, it's convenient but fairly simple in terms of amenities. read more

3.5 stars. Overall most of the disappointment here was generally the quality of the rooms. The size was very small for 2 people in terms of the showering area and storage. There is no separate shower area so there is not much privacy. I also found that the wall had chipped paint particularly in the shower. Bed wise, they only have single beds in every room so if you want separate beds, you're out of luck. The closet storage was tiny for storing our stuff, making it a chore to pull things out of the closet. I've found that I like to take my clothes out that I need for the hotel stay and without dressers, it feels uncomfortable having to lay clothes out in the open on bookshelves. On the positive end, they have delicious croissants that they put out in the dining area and the breakfast is solid with the Spanish tortilla, cold cuts, packaged yogurt, pastries, and fruit. The staff were very nice and helpful and the hotel is conveniently located next to the Plaça de Sants and the Sants Estació stations. Overall an affordable option that's best for solo travelers. read more

We made a quick trip to Barcelona during our visit to France and decided to just grab a hotel rather than a house. This place was perfect for our trip! It's located just outside the train station - like, literally a few hundred feet outside the doors. We opted for a suite for the five of us and it worked perfect. There was a central bathroom with a bathtub (with shower), a separate shower - which was incredible and was closer to a car wash than a normal shower, and a small room with a toilet. The sink and counter were bigger than we're used to and great to spread out on. The main bedroom was awesome - it had a king size bed, lots of outlets, a solid TV, a Nespresso machine and a lovely mini bar. The second room had a king sized hideaway bed and a small seating area. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and overall it was incredibly comfortable. The workout facility downstairs is small, with a treadmill, bike and small weight rack. It's not bad for a quick run. As was said earlier, the location is great. There's a nice park next door and a lovely square with about a dozen restaurants about 2 blocks behind the hotels. It made for a perfect spot to grab dinner a couple nights in a row. We also jumped on a tourist trap double decker bus that stopped right outside the hotel at the train station. It made it really easy to get around. There were also a ton of small bakeries and restaurants within walking distance. It made grabbing breakfast and lunch super easy. We really enjoyed this hotel. It was perfect for our quick trip and made both arrival and departure incredibly easy. Absolutely worth staying here! read more

Nice, clean budget friendly hotel. Excellent staff! The front desk women went out if their way to help. Thanks Rita for all the help. I wasn't happy with the location but it was a blessing in disguise. Close to the tourist buses since we had too much crap to get on the train. The town of Sants is wonderful. We went exploring and found ourselves in the middle of a weekend festival, complete with a small hometown parade. Great street foods and trinkets. The Plaza is lively with action all the time. Nice restaurants. The Vermouth place had the best lamb I have ever had! (Wrong review. Lol). read more

Great location on the back side of the central train station. Lots of tapas bars nearby and ethnic food options too. Can be very noisy in the rooms when there are fairs or events on the plaza. Personable hotel staff. read more

Perfect location if you're looking to tour Barcelona especially if you've taken the metro from the airport! Literally about a 1000 yards from the entrance of a main metro stop (Barcelona-Sants) and just minutes from bars, markets and a Lovely square filled with tapas bars...this hotel offers a lot of convenience for a descent price. AC Marriott (Sants) has a lovely dining and bar area which serves a fantastic breakfast for 16€. Our hotel room we booked was a king bed for about 179€ and that pretty much gets you a basic room with a big screen wall mounted tv, king bed, shower (big enough to fit two people) a small toilet closet and a sink/vanity area and small closet. NOT a big or luxurious room, but it was comfortable, cozy and clean. I was pleased with the room, the location and the cost. I gave this hotel five stars because of: *excellent customer service *excellent breakfast *great location to town, and metro, and taxi *cleanliness *treatment of their Marriott gold members I would definitely recommend this place and I would book this hotel again. read more

Small hotel near the train station. Perfect for a night if you are arriving late or leaving out early. It is not close to touristy spots so you would need to taxi or Uber. Nice night sleep and nice staff. read more

AC Hotel by Marriott Sants - Minibar - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Our stay was fantastic. We stayed at this hotel for two nights after spending two nights in Madrid at AC Hotel Atocha. Both hotels were right outside the main train stations so it was super convenient. This hotel is super well located. I was able to walk to so may places (i.e Arena de Barcelona, Plaza España, Blai Street, etc.) or just walk to the train station and grab the metro. There are so many patisseries in the area where you can have breakfast (I recommend Forn Balta, 5 minute walk). I also liked the fact that I can interact with the locals. Everything around the hotel is where the locals eat or spend their time. The customer service was fantastic, everyone was helpful. The room was basic but good enough for what we needed. I would definitely recommend this hotel. If you are planning visiting both Madrid and Barcelona the AC Hotels work great! read more

Basic hotel. Thats not necessarily a bad thing. The AC Hotel is part of the Marriott family. Hotel has one of the nicest and most helpful staff in all Barcelona. I was only here for 2 night, and i would totally stay here again in future stays. Rooms are clean and spacious, very basic, but well put together. No iron nor ironing board FYI. No laundry facility as well, however there is a convenient laundromat very close by. Overall i enjoyed my stay here. read more

Great location. Am sad to say I stay w Marriott quite a bit (plat elite) ... the staff was really personable. Back of house staff are pleasant but I wish they would knock before barging right into the room. But then, they just want to make you happy. Bit under staffed at he front desk. Location is good, super access to trains and great little restaurants surround this place. Last trip to Barcelona stayed at the Renaissance Fira... ultra modern, great restaurant, easy access to Metro & airport. Bonvoi read more

AC Hotel by Marriott Sants - Shower - dirty - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Really enjoyed my stay here during my last day in Barcelona. I wish I had chosen to stay at this hotel earlier into my trip. The rooms were pretty large and the layout was unique. There is no pool here in case you're looking for one. They do have a small fitness center though. read more

This was my first time staying at an AC hotel. I decided to stay at this hotel because it was outside of the city closer to Monserrat. The place was very clean. Since like it was a favorite for tourists(lots of tourist buses ) we rented a car and got free parking, however the parking lot and parking spaces are very small. The Lobby attendants were very nice, the room was large and very clean. We ate at the restaurant bar and food was tasty. Overall it was a good hotel and I i would stay there again. read more

Perfectly acceptable no frills hotel. Not near anything touristy but right next to main train station. Rooms are clean. Service is pleasant. I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here but if you are looking for a hotel in this particular neighborhood, this will do. read more

This place is simple! The rooms are small and cozy, reminds me of ikea, which is totally fine. The bed was probably the most comfortable one I've slept in during my Barcelona trip... this is ranging from an Airbnb to a luxury $300+ hotel, so I think I've finally recovered from the jet lag. My favorite part was the breakfast buffet! Cheeeeeese and bread, a vegetarian's delight! It's a bit overpriced if you're a vegan tho. Also, this place is very clean compared to many US hotels. Even tho it's a high volume hotel - right by the metro and train station - it is still super organized and clean. I def recommend this place if you have extra points to spare. read more

Stayed here a couple nights when visiting Barcelona. Very convenient to the Barceló Sants station. Rooms are nice the only thing that bothered my wife and I was the toilet area smell of urine. They need better ventilation or get rid of the particle wood around the area. Nothing like a tile to disenfect and sanitize bathroom areas. The bed wasn't the best squeaky and not too comfortable. On another note we did have some lunch when we arrived from our flight and had a really good burger and my wife enjoyed the roasted chicken and grilled veggies. The lunch was very good. read more

Very modern and chic hotel in a Sants neighborhood. The hotel looks like an IKEA store but I did not mind that. The rooms were large enough, and the bed was comfortable. Its located next to the central train station, so if you are arriving by train to Barcelona its logistically convenient. Its also located in between two metro stations although I only used the Placa de Sants Station which is 0.5 miles west-a bit further than I would have liked. The advantage of this hotel location is it is away from the touristy areas which is what I prefer. You're not going to be within a short walk to any of the sightseeing spots. But since the metro is close by, you can always get wherever you need to go with ease. I took the metro from the airport to the hotel with ease. read more

Great location, but A/C did not work. Asked several time, but no help. This is a problem in Spain in August! Also, no coffee maker in room, and small closet space even by Europe standards. read more

Stayed here for 2 days on a quick trip to Barcelona. Very nice rooms,good location, and good staff.. Very close to transportation both cabs and train/subway station. Also a quick trip to the airport. read more

We stayed here for only 1 night, actually, our last night in Barcelona. We would absolutely stay here again. Location is prime. It's located right next to one of the main train stations Estacio Sants. From there you could catch the metro into any one of the popular neighborhoods, Barri Gotic or Barceloneta. You could also catch the Renfe into other surrounding cities or the airport. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable. The check-in process was quick and painless. In fact, check-in time wasn't until 3p and we were allowed to check-in at 11a since our room was ready. I do have to state that we were there last week and from what I've heard, Sep. isn't their busiest month. Highly recommend this hotel! read more

Been here for a week during my stay in barcelona. Paolla helped us out majority of the time on the front desk. The hotel is really close to Barcrlona Sants Estacion. The restaurants near here are mainly mediteranean, but have really good hidden gems if you walk a bit further. The front desk was able to help us out on many of the questions and helped book us reservations to restaurants on new years eve. The beds and the service on accommodations were prompt. The cleaning lady was very nice and we had our supplies replenished when needed. I dropped a star due to the temperature changes in the shower and the breakfast that was provided. It was inconsistent in my shower where the temp just got to room temp out of nowhere when I wanted it hot. The breakfast is small and a bit expensive, its not a big deal because there are many restaurants and cafes around the area. I would recommend this place here if you have a prime membership to the marriot. read more

The rooms are nice but the beds are terrible. I wouldn't even call it a bed. More like a glorified cot. Woke up with the worst back pain ever. read more
