Detailed Reviews
I stayed at a location not too far away from the AC hotel and the AC hotel was far nicer and similar in price. This property was very clean, the A/C worked well, and the staff was friendly. You do need to catch a cab or bus to get to some locations in Barcelona but it is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of restaurants and other amenities. I would book this one again. The only downside due to covid was the breakfast was very limited. Ours wasn't included in price of room so we popped down to a pastry shop and indulged.

Overall, the hotel wasn't bad. However, the rooms have a funky layout. The best way I can think to describe it is that the bathrooms were an afterthought. Almost like they built the room and then said "dang, we forgot to add a bathroom."
The bathroom is a glass-walled area where the door doesn't even make a complete seal. If you're sharing a room with someone, you'll hear every sound and smell every scent going on in the bathroom. The glass is also frosted, so you can see everyone's outline in the bathroom. Since the room is so small, it's hard to not "be in the bathroom" with the person actual in the bathroom.
There are no very many outlets in these rooms either. There's an outlet on one side of the bed and then there's one by the desk where the coffee maker is plugged in. You have two additional outlets in the bathroom.
I came here for my Marriott loyalty but would probably pick somewhere else next time.

Very nice hotel, in a very nice part of town. Short walk to beautiful areas and downtown. The hotel staff was incredible! Our room was a little small, but very quiet and comfortable. The health club had enough equipment to get a good workout in. Also, try the breakfast buffet, they will make a omelette for you if you ask.

This hotel is in an ideal location, out of the high tourist area, but close enough to walk to many places, including the Sagrada Familia. The breakfast buffet at the hotel was nice and included such things as yogurt, granola, breads, cheeses & meats, Spanish tortilla, boiled eggs and scrambled eggs upon request. A huge shout out to Sergio and Iris at the front desk. They were so kind and answered all of our questions with a smile. We needed a Covid test one day prior to flying back to the US and Sergio gave us the name of a testing location not far from the hotel. It is Ascires Cetis at 6, Loudes Street. Test results take about 1 hour. Two restaurants that were recommended and we enjoyed very much were Patron for local cuisine and Luigi's for fantastic pasta.

This hotel is situated in a good location and generally has good rooms and amenities. However, on our third night, my partner was awakened at 3 a.m. by a dripping noise and got up to investigate. She found water leaking from the ceiling of our bathroom. We called the front desk, and he came up and saw the same. The front desk person indicated nothing could be done before the next day and provided us with a key to an alternate room where we could sleep without the noise of dripping. We could leave our belongings in our original room until more permanent accommodations to the issue could be made. The temporary room was definitely of a lower standard than our original. The next day we had to leave early for a planned excursion. When we returned we were given a new room supposedly of the same premium standard as our original. It was at least similar in standard but not quite as good. We of course then had to move all our belongings from the original room to the new. In checking with the new on-duty receptionist they indicated that the person in the room above had fallen asleep with water running in their bathroom and significant damage was done to the hotel. Through all this, we got some very tepid apologies but no offer to make things right, no free dinner, no champagne and fruit delivered to the room, no rebate for the night spent in a lower grade room than was booked. In short other than their lukewarm 'sorries' nothing was done.

I traveled to Barcelona solo for the first time and chose this hotel, because it was in a quaint area, and away from all the hustle and bustle. I cannot be more pleased with my choice. It is in a sweet little neighborhood with restaurants around but this boutique hotel has the best customer service and I could not thank Sergio and Iris enough. They were both personable, professional, kind and helpful, just exactly what a solo needs when they aren’t sure what to do. Other highlights of this hotel is quite possibly the best water pressure that I’ve ever had and a powerful hairdryer… Two things that are very important. Give this place a try you won’t be sorry.

Friendly welcome, convenient location, comfy bed, expansive hot breakfast, updated decor, nearby restaurants. A few more plugins would have been nice. Personally, I don't judge luxury in square feet, but if floor space is your thing, know the rooms are "efficient."

Located in a calm areas off the main drag, easy to find. Receptions was incredibly helpful and spoke English, as my Spanish is terrible. Four pillows on the king bed as hoped, nice bathrooms. Very stock and standard for an AC in the Marriott family which I liked - got what I thought I was getting. All furniture was nice, no nicks or dings. Very clean. Great place to stay a night or two for business or before heading out to an adventure.

Perfect for a cheap stay in a great part of town. Rooms small but about what you would expect for the price. Rooms clean and modern. Perfect for a short stay! Great restaurants near by. Not much offered inside hotel, again , as expected.

Greetings from AC Hotel Irla by Marriott!
The closest hop-on hop-off bus stop is Diagonal / Francesc Macià and it is located on Diagonal Avenue just 4 min away from the hotel. From there you may take either the red or blue line and it would show you all around the city from the old town to the Park Güell! If there is anything else we might assist you with, do not hesitate to ask. Thank you.
I didn't experience any road construction around the hotel during my stay (June 2, 2019). If there is construction it may have started after my stay or been completed before my stay. My room overlooked the street and was quiet.
it is not walkable. It is about 7.5 K and depending on traffic , 20-25 minutes by taxi/car
We used Barcelona Airport Transfer by Bohigas and were very pleased. Easy to arrange, met us as/when/where promised, safe and knowledgeable driver. Highly recommend them.
"If you want a view of the street, choose a room in front, but expect some noise. If not, back room for silence."Read full review
