The title of my review says it all. I was there on business and spent a lot of time in the hotel attending meetings etc. The hotel staff were very accommodating and friendly and facilities excellent. I would have no hesitation staying in this hotel again either for business or pleasure.

I stayed here for 4 days in May, just prior to starting a walk from Tui to Santiago de Compostela. The location was perfect for visiting the harbour precinct with its inexpensive, fast eateries; as well as being next to the old city. Vigo is hilly, but there are good sightseeing walks to be done close by. Sometimes there are... More

Lovely hotel - with almost a boutique atmosphere -checkin was friendly and efficient. Room was simply furnished in a modern style with its own little balcony overlooking the sea front. Never stayed in a hotel with a free minbar with soft drinks. Bathroom was sleek with plenty of tioletries and an uber-chique glass washbasin. Location was suberb and we changed... More

The location is unbeatable! The next day we were going to the islands so it was great to be a 2 minute walk to the harbour. The room was very nice with wooden floors which is always a nice surprise to the dreaded typical hotel carpets. Our room had a nice view to the harbour. Not sure if this was... More

I chose to stay at this hotel because of the harbor location near the historic district, and because it was a Marriott affiliate. I must say the hotel was much nicer than I expected. It is an older building that must have been completely renovated in recent years.The check in proccess was quick and easy. The front desk staff spoke... More

I stayed here for two nights recently and the hotel AC Marriott Vigo is clean, comfortable and well located in downtown Vigo. I arrived late on the first night and the check-in was slow whilst they located a member of staff who could check-in guests. The room itself was spacious and modern with a well-stocked bathroom, a Sea view and... More

I enjoyed my stay in this very comfortable hotel with friendly staff. The location opposite the port was good, handy for buses, and gave a nice view out to sea. A very short walk uphill takes you to the picturesque square with fountains and a good choice of restaurants. The room service food in the hotel, and the food served... More

Good, but not excellent. Couldn't see the Marriott association, the hotel doesn't really fit the Marriott brand. The rooms are quite basic but clean, good working & silent airco, free mini-bar, bathroom materials/decoration look a bit cheap. Wifi in room is offered against a charge thru Telefonica, but didn't work half of the time except for the lobby where free... More

Overall I was quite satisfied with my overnight stay. I chose this hotel for its central location - on the waterside right across the marina. But it is rather far from the railway station. Those arriving from the airport with bus line C9A can get off at "Policarpo Sanz" and stroll downhill to the marina. However bear in mind that... More
