"Excellent location and close to everything"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The hotel and staff are wonderful and we will definitely stay there on our next visit to Barcelona! The room was very clean and neat and the daily maid service was exceptional. The front desk staff was very professional and courteous. Wi-Fi in the room was excellent. Walking out of the hotel and looking up at the Cathederal every morning was surreal. Beautiful hotel and wonderful location!

The hotel was clean and neat, the staff very helpful, and the bathroom was great. We also found the price fair and reasonable. The view out of the back of the hotel was not the best- apartment back porches and dirty laundry, so keep the curtains closed.

"Unbelievably Great Service"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Stayed for a five night family vacation. Our room for three was very nice with a king bed and sofa bed. Efficiency kitchen with dishes and silverware and cookware. Compact refrigerator. Very well located in Eixample neighborhood one block from metro station. Easy walk to many restaurants and the Passieg Gracia or upper part of the Rambla Cataluna. However the BEST was the service of the front desk. Whatever the request they were ceaseless in their efforts to please and accommodate. Information, directions, recommendations for eating and transportation, ticketing. The staff could not do enough for us. This is service that is rare to find in the amenities industry: a true personal touch. My family can heartily recommend the Acacia Suites for a Barcelona vacation. The only negative for some is that it is not located directly on Plaza Cataluna or the Rambla but if you want a quieter neighborhood, with a local feel it is a very nice place.

The hotel was about 20 minutes from the city center by train, which meant the surrounding area was relatively quiet. One benefit was that all trains lines stopped at city center, so there was no confusion reading maps. The room was in good shape, with only a little wear in the bathroom. Everything was good and operational; any wear was purely cosmetic. […] Room service was better than average and not too pricey. The room had a television with many channels, but almost all of them were in Spanish or Catalan (just three English-speaking channels), so trying to relax with some TV was futile for a non-Spanish speaker. Wifi is available for free in the lobby, but if you want to have access in your room (if you room is above the 2nd or 3rd floor), you will need to pay 12 euros for the day. My room faced away from the wind, and it was consequently a bit too warm for my comfort. The window didn't open wide enough to let in much air, but in the summer, I would imagine that there is air conditioning to make it more comfortable. All said, the hotel was a very good deal in a quiet part of the city, 30 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from city center. Trains run late enough that getting back after a night out isn't an issue, and there is a large shopping center just down the street if you need anything. The rooms were well equipped and the hotel staff were friendly and spoke English well. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy a few days in Spain. Read more
"The Best Staff"
The hotel is not in the middle of all the action, but that was a good thing because the area was extremely quiet. We were scheduled to stay for 3 nights. As it happened, my husband got sick throughout our stay and needed the quiet. The hotel staff (housekeeping, front desk and even the bar tender who doubled as kitchen help) were extremely accommodating […] through this difficult time. We received healthcare recommendations, hot toddies and homemade chicken soup (outside the menu). We were scheduled to go to Malaga from there and learned that the airline we were to take had really strict luggage weight restrictions and thus had to leave a bag behind. The hotel agreed to hold it for us until our return--2 weeks later (at no charge)!! Of course we cancelled our reservations at the other hotel, near Las Ramblas (where we were scheduled to stay for another 4 nights upon our return) and chose to return to this hotel. We found that travel to all the main sites was not bad, given the good directions from the front desk, and using buses and trains, which were readily accessible from this location. In fact, travel was very inexpensive and we were able to get to the airport, only half an hour away, for the regular cost of a bus ride. So of course, we gave staff members handsome tips for their excellent service and still came out ahead with all our savings!!!! The staff at the two exclusive resorts we stayed at in Malaga should have taken lessons from this staff. Read more
"AC Som, a quiet hotel"
We choose this hotel because of the reviews from other americans going on cruises. They had a good experience. We did too. The rooms are small, but very modern. The staff are very helpful. It is in a quiet neighborhood close to the underground train. The staff at the hotel clued us on how to ride the train and we were able to get anywhere in Barcelona […] and back to our hotel for a minimal cost and no hassles. The cost of the hotel was very inexpensive compared to most of the hotels. We would definitely stay there again. Read more
"Great place to stay"
Despite its location a little bit out of the city, the quality and service of this hotel more than made up for it. Immaculate room and common areas. Very helpful staff as well. The neighborhood, while it appeared safe enough, was mainly commercial buildings and apartment buildings. (not much to look at) There is a large mall a block away if you should […] need food or shopping. Two trains will get you to the city center in about 15 minutes. There are also several buses for late night service. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and would definitely stay here again. Read more
The hotel was very convenient and the staff very helpful.We walked to plaza Espagna from the hotel and it was pleasant. There was a nearby restaurant that was open long hours that we enjoyed. The room was clean and adequate. The mattress could have been a bit firmer for my liking. The breakfast was great and we were happy to learn that the 12 Euro breakfast […] was included. Read more
"Great hotel"
Great clean modern hotel in a residential and business neighborhood outside the main city of Barcelona. The hotel is a business hotel, so it did not have any dressers in the room. The staff was very friendly and spoke English. When I said we were on our honeymoon, we got an upgrade to a king size bed. Positives: clean; nice staff; close to train; quiet […] area with no tourists. Negatives: continental breakfast not included and costs $12 Euros; only two little drawers in the closet; AC was not the greatest (it took a long time for the room to cool); free WiFi was only in the lobby.

"Short & sweet"
It was a very short experience. We had a late check in and an early check out. Hotel is at an okay location... a little far from where I am used to saty in Barcelona. It is a nice hotel, clean, and well staffed hotel. If you are organized, on where to be and what to do... it can be a nice option for Barcelona.
"Great stay!"
We were in Europe for 2 weeks and Barcelona was our last destination. We decided to stay at AC Som after reading a lot of reviews. We got to the hotel at 10am and was hoping that they would allow us to check in early. The receptionist was very friendly, helpful and well English spoken. We got our room after just 5 minute wait. We had nothing to complain […] about the room service. My husband was very satisfied with free drinks they gave us in the mini fridge (they also refilled it the next day). I saw many complaints about the hotel location, but the metro was just 10 mins walk away. We booked the room soon enough to get the rate that we think was a great deal. I highly recommend this hotel to those who want a comfortable place to stay and have a nice rest after spending a whole day exploring Barcelona. Read more
Our Air Conditioner would not cool at all and while we went to dinner they cooled another room and they moved us immediately to a room nearby making it easier. Very Responsive to us.
"What a surprise!"
The price was so reasonable that we just hoped for the best .After staying in avery uncomfortable hotel in Paris at more than 3 times the price we were in heaven. The furnishings were very modern as was the lobby. Complimentary beverages inthe lounge were pleasant. There was a fantastic mall a block away with great shops and restaurants. We selected […] this location so we could easily get to the port for our cruise. A bus to all the main tourist sites was less than a block. Read more
"great value in Barcelona suburb"
We chose this hotel for easy access to our cruise ship. We were very pleased. The hotel is modern, clean and comfortable. There is a lovely mail a very short walk away. The accessibility features were very well done. Everyone at the front desk spoke English. Don't know how convenient transportation would be into downtown Barcelona. But this is a lovely […] hotel and a very good value. Read more

"AC Som in Barcelona"
This hotel was very nice and very accomodating. The front staff all spoke English very well and I might add....the men were pleasing to the eye. ;) I would definitely stay there again, however the location is in a sketchy area even though the hotel is very modernized. The rates were very fair.
"Nice place to stay!"
We stayed here 4 days after our cruise. The hotel was quite nice, rooms were pretty spacious. It is near a mall which is good, the metro is less than a couple of blocks away so good transportation. Alex at the front desk was extremely helpful and he was always pleasant. Breakfast buffet too high, so it was easier to eat at a cafe at the mall for breakfast. […] I would stay here again. We had to change rooms due to air conditioning not working properly but they accomodated us promptly without any problems. Read more
"AC Som"
Over all experience was great! :) A little far from the bus and train stations, but with a tourist metro pass you can get anywhere fairly easy.
"AC Som Barcelona"
Great hotel next to train staion with quick tranfer to Barcelona metro. Quiet area with shopping mall with grocery store across the street. In room frig and nice lobby with free wi-fi.
"Great hotel, a little out of the city"
The hotel was great. Clean, friendly and comfortable. If you're looking to be close to the beaches and Ramblas this may not be the hotel for you though. I do recommend getting direction to the red line metro. Its a little further walk , but much more convenient.
"Very modern"
I was impressed with the room and the building in general. Being in a mainly middle class residential neighborhood was a plus. I found several local restaurants and snack shops that were convenient and friendly.
It was the best hotel in the 8 we stayed in during our euro trip/ very good value for money. Very contemporary room decor.usually you get such a room in trice the price. loved it. just not very close to anything much so u have to take the train which is 5 minutes away . However we did not get a multi-plug (this was our measure of service in each of […] our hotels) Read more
"Location"
Very nice hotel in a very out of the way location. The hotel is very modern and sleek but it too far away from any Barcelona attractions
"Modern hotel in Barcelona"
This hotel was nice. We had two adjoining rooms. Cleanliness was generally good, just some dust in corners. The beds were pretty comfortable and the hotel was fairly quiet except for the noise from the construction behind the hotel that started up at about 7 am, and the bongo players on the streets at 3 am. Barcelona is a very noisy city in general, […] so this hotel was not bad. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly and spoke English. We had a delicious, complimentary buffet breakfast in the morning. The food was excellent and quite varied. There is no one to help with the luggage, you have to bus it yourself. We stayed only one night before our cruise. The hotel was easy to get to by taxi from the airport. It was also fairly easy to get to the cruise terminal in Barcelona from the hotel. We were quite satisfied with the hotel Read more
"Hotel AC Som in Barcelona"
This was our first trip to Barcelona and the check in went very smoothly. The personel was better than we could have hoped. Marta went beyond expectations to help us get comfortable with our new surroundings and answered all of our questions as well as giving us valuable advice on how to get around in Barcelona. Everyone there was very helpful. The […] accommodations were surprisingly basic, with one small closet and no dresser. We spent the visit living out of suitcases. The room was clean and comfortable though. There is free wifi available in the lobby which is very comfortable with free refreshments in the evening. All in all the stay there was a very pleasant experience. Read more
"Hotel AC Som in Barcelona, Spain"
The hotel did have some construction going on, but it wasn't too bad, as they only worked during the day and we were always away from the hotel at that time. The rooms were beautiful and very clean and had all the amenities that you might need or want. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location for the business traveler, but a little bit […] out of the way for the regular tourist. Getting to the sights was not terrible tho as the bus stop is only a couple ot blocks away. Las Ramblas, for instance, was only 20 minutes away by bus. I would definetely recommend this hotel to people going to Barcelona. The AC Som also has a good breakfast at a moderate rate. We also went to a wonderful resturant across the street. There is also a shopping mall a block away with great resturaunts and shopping. Read more

"Will stay again in this hotel"
It is excellent for the price. Room is large and clean. Bed is very comfortable. Facility looks new. It is only 2 blocks from metro station. The only disappointment was that it charges for internet connection in the room while the free wireless access in the lobby never worked.
"Great hotel, far from the city center"
This hotel seems like it is brand new- probably the nicest 3 star we stayed at while in Spain. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are well decorated, bathrooms are new and clean. However, it is FAR from the center of Barcelona. You have to take a train, and then get on the main metro. This would have been fine but we wanted to stay out a little later […] on Friday and Sat nights- but the train stops running at midnight (this is what the hotel told us)- so if you're going to stay here and go out at night, I'd take into account cab fare. Otherwise, it's a great hotel- just far from anything tourists want to see in Barcelona. Read more
"Excellent hotel at a good price"
I very much enjoyed staying at the AC Som in Barcelona. The concierage was friendly, the room was very spacious and the bathroom even had a marble-tub in it. This is not one of those hotels where the pictures don't match-up in real life, everything was truly beautiful. There is air-conditioning, 24-hour room service, easy access to the center of Barcelona […] through the metro system (or just a 10 euro taxi) and a nice restaurant/bar in the hotel lobby. I highly recommend staying here. Read more
"Great hotel, excellent value for price"
This is a really good hotel which is close to a big shopping complex where you have lots of small restaurants in Granvia 2. The hotel is very close to metro station and bus station which takes you directly to the airport. While coming from airport take the bus to Granvia 2 bus stop. Free wifi in the lobby only. Overall a good, clean hotel. Enjoyed our […] 2 days here. Read more
"Very nice!"
The room was very nice and clean, very new hotel (or at least it seems to be). The breakfast was incredible, cheap and super good. It's in a neighborhood not in the center of the touristic action but it has the metro stop (or train) a block away so getting to the center is easy and fast. You can also use public trasportation to get to and from the Airport. […] It was great for the price and it's walking distance from a big shopping mall. I will stay there every time I go back from now on because i really liked it. Read more

"Great Experience"
AC Hotel in barcelona is amazing...very accomodating and very unique hotel style. Very close to metro station and seemed like a pretty nice area. By far one of the best hotels I stayed at during my trip throughout Europe.
"Great hotel, hard to find"
Took us an hour of wandering to find it, and none of the locals seemed to know anything about it.
"ac hotel som marriott"
very pleased with hotel and friendly staff, shopping and resteraunts just across the road, my son liked the free mini bar, only with soft drinks though walking distance to neu camp but also close to train and tube station would use again
"The Hotel Som by Marriot"
Not close to the sights, but easy access to train and bus. A tad hot for sleeping during the night, since they have air in the summer and heat in winter and we were in between seasons!!

"AC hotel - excellent"
Excellent choice. The hotel is clean and modern, has even the adaptor for the plugs. Free minibar. Internet is high speed. We could not have had a better choice. It is not lockated in City Center but the access is very easy. We had a car but we didn't need to pay the hotel parking because around the hotel was free parking.
"AC Hotel SOM"
2 blocks to increible Metro
"Nice hotel, Close to FGC and shopping."
The hotel is excellent, clean modern and well priced. A little out of town but there's a commuter train (FGC) that will take you into the city. The station is less than 2 mins from the hotel and metro tickets are valid on it. Would recommend, it is also opposite a massive shopping center which is very useful
"act som - acceptable!"
the only negative things to say is soft pillows - too soft - had a sore neck each morning as though it hadnt been supported. breakfast wasn't included so 12.50 extra if wanted. service, cleanliness and standards all great
"AC Som in Barcelona - City life & the suburbs"
Excellent hotel, the free mini bar with cold drinks were a pleasure after warm, long days of sight seeing. The public transport in Barcelona is so excellent that it took us 10 minutes to get into the city centre whilst we experienced life in the suburbs. Absorbing the local culture in the local bars & eateries, language a problem but nothing hands […] signs cannot remedy. Read more
"AC Som Barcelona-exceptional small friendly hotel"
Just back from a long weekend. Stayed at the AC Som hotel, which is a small, well maintained hotel, with extremely friendly, helpful staff. While the hotel is a little out from the centre, access is directly by metro or bus and found it a pleasant respite from the very busy city. Absolutely no problem is recommending this hotel.
"Great value"
Can't complain about the price, even cheaper than our hostel in the central area. Free mini bar is nice, free WIFI only in hotel lobby with your own laptop. It is very easy to go to central area by metro, which is only 3 minutes walk from the hotel. Lots dinning options in near shopping mall again only 3 minutes walk. Hotel buffet breakfast is expensive, […] 12 Euro per person. Read more
"AC Som in Barcelona"
Great hotel, behind the Grand Via 2 Mall Close to bus and subway to everywhere else to go in Barcelona. Great hotel- very friendly and goes out of their way to make your stay comfortable.
