If you take the bus from the airport, get off when you see a big mall called Granvia and from there it is a easy short walk to the hotel. First the complains. I had booked my room through a third party. After that I wanted to know if i could drop my bags off and my numerous emails to... More

This is my 6th trip to Europe, so I know what room sizes are but I still consider this very small. Room had a good shower, beds very small. Very tight fir for 2. Overall... More

We stayed one night at the AC Som after the Catalunya Grand Prix; it's ideally situated a 20 minute bus ride from Barcelona airport. Friendly service, clean room with a lovely bathroom and very comfortable king sized bed. Free Wifi in the downstairs lounge and pay Wifi in rooms. Would certainly stay again. The area is not particularly buzzing, though... More

Lovely rooms and very modern hotel with nice staff. Be aware if you are wanting to use the metro to get into town that you have to take the train ( 2 Euros each ) just to get to the first metro station.We did walk it a few times and it took about 20 minutes.

The hotel is in the suburb of Barcelona with very good transport links, if you are visiting the city you will take some time to commute but the hotel has comfortable rooms close to a huge shopping centre Grand Via 2. Caring and friendly staff certainly make this hotel a good place. Thanks to Marta and Suzzana.

This is a pleasant hotel with modern décor within walking distance of the conference hotel. Staff were pleasant. Only criticism is that there is no tea and coffee facilities in the rooms - thought there would be as it is a Marriott hotel

We stayed one night recently at this hotel. As a hotel, it is perfectly adequate, albeit not fancy. Its biggest drawback is if you are in Barcelona as a tourist, as we were. Getting into town requires two different subways (one which is not frequent) or a subway and a bus. That makes it very impractical if you wish to... More
