Best Los Barrios Hotels

I have been staying in this hotel practically every weekend during the summer season for the last 3 years . I would describe my experience as “ Home away from Home” . Extremely happy! We have never had a bad word to say about the hotel . The staff always makes as feel very welcome. Staff are friendly and helpful , who go above and beyond to ensure we have a pleasant stay . The rooms are Clean and Comfortable , great views from our balcony to a Beautiful garden and a swimming pool. The Bar /restaurant very good service , ambiance , and Fab food . They really care about their clients. I would definitely recommend this hotel it offers good value for money

I had send a request for upper floor room, specifically for a very needed quiet room for excellent sleeping quality. the rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are very good, good lighting in bathroom and sink is separately from WC. The breakfast is good with excellent coffee, the barman is kind, and professional, although he seemed to be constantly on his own in charge of the entire bar and is rushed of his feet, we waited 45min for a cup of tea in the afternoon, it wasn't his fault, he was just rushed off his feet on his own for the whole cafeteria and outdoor bar. The reception staff is helpful, and we were happy to be able to leave our cases at the reception for storage till departure. good parking at the hotel. Disliked · We did not get our requested upper floor room, although there were a lot of spare rooms free. The second floor is stinking of cigarette smoke ! even our room was still smelling of an ashtray even though it was clean. There is even a sign hanging up on the second floor that smoking is allowed ! crazy, so why did we not get a choice to stay on a NON-SMOKING floor ??The room was fairy hot and while we enjoyed the fresh breeze through the balcony door , the traffic noise was awful! all day + all night sadly . The double bed is very small if your partner is over six foot or more that 1.80m, better off booking 2 single beds . So unfortunately we had an awful night sleep. Our ”double” room was clearly catered for single use, as there was only 1 seat inside and 1 seat outside.. maybe hence the smaller double bed.. only 1 pillow was available in the room, but after finding a friendly cleaning lady, she helped us by giving 2 more. We were booking this hotel for pool relaxation and sunbathing too and were told upon arrival that the POOL IS CLOSED TILL JUNE 2023! This was never mentioned while booking and certainly a surprise while temperatures are over 25C. the main problem for us is the fact that we did not get the room we booked , paid and asked politely for, hence a bad night sleep and sick of cigarette smoke .

We stayed at this hotel due to our travel plan. Did not like the experience at all. They do not recognize your GHA Discovery status and provide no benefits at all. The receptionist was very rude to us and claimed that she was tired, I told her we would like to check in and she looked at us and said ”what name?” Am I checking into a 4-star NH branded hotel or a hostal? LOL. The first room we got had strong cigarette smell and we had to ask to change the room. The food we ordered was cold and the chicken fillet was dry as if it was made in a microwave. The breakfast did not offer a lot of variety. Will not return.

I decided after Stay 1 I wouldn't mind coming back... and in truth I did return later that week. So I was a repeat customer. Positives: -offered 2 PM late checkout as IHG Platinum -rooms are quiet -price was great and I got to earn IHG points Negatives: -no conditioner provided in the shower (if you're only going to provide two bottles in the shower to save on cost, make one conditioner!) -the mattress, a Pikolin, was definitely a budget mattress for a domestic audience. In the US, that mattress would be a problem for the hotel. Very, very hard. -they should install a credit card reader for their vending machine. I know Spain is a little behind on going 100% cashless, but I saw credit card readers on vending machines elsewhere so I think they would see the benefits of doing so. -they should just charge for parking. It's ”free” as it is, but most nights I could not get a spot and had to go into the neighborhood looking for one. -AC turns off after 10 hours regardless of what you do. So if you turn it on at 8 PM for an evening, it will turn off at 6 AM while you are still asleep, waking you up in a sweaty mess.

This is a lovely hotel…. Sp pretty with columns and alcoves. For the first night I booked dinner B&B….. the food was delicious! Dinner was 5 courses but included the best Broccoli au Gratin I ever tasted and included a glass of red wine. I expected the wine to be tough but it was actually very good! I did not try the open air swimming pool but in this heat it was an option … nearby beach was crowded and with fascinating container port nearby I found it hard to believe the water was bathing quality! 8€ taxi ride from bus station. Staff were unfailingly helpful and courteous. Next time I will ask for a room with a mountain-view. I stayed a second night … trip charged me a higher price? I also took their Day Excursion to Morocco…€72 but add on €40 for tips! It included return ferry, transport, guide and Moroccan lunch ( delicious) … driver, his friend, guide and me on a 32 seater bus! Obligatory “buy a carpet” talk at “craft school” ( Omg I bought a carpet!) … hold out for the trinkets shop on the way out!!! 4 hours to get back through customs … queues…. But it was fascinating v and an unexpected glimpse into border mentality. 4 layers … Moroccan military check, Moroccan police check, Spanish police check and Covid certificate check and final layer …. Spanish guards emptying and checking every car and finding something to throw away from everyone!!!! Two days feels like a wonderful week!

From the outside the hotel looks tired and in need of updating but the room that we stayed in was very clean, bright and appeared freshly decorated. The room had the biggest balcony I have ever seen in a hotel it was in fact bigger than the room , it offered such wonderful views across the bay to Gibraltar and was a great place to relax and watch the activity in the port . Hotel has a restaurant which serves a wide choice of breakfasts at very reasonable prices . We found it difficult to actually get to the hotel from the main road as it was not well sign posted and we ended up at the restricted entry to the port and had to make an illegal U turn to get onto the right road . But overall a very good stay in this hotel.

Nous avons passé une nuit ici avant de prendre le bateau au port. L'accueil était parfait, chambre propre, wifi, très bon rapport qualité prix et bonne situation dans un quartier sympa avec aire de jeux, commerces, restaurants..... Rien à redire. Merci

I booked this for my husband and I but when they sent the confirmation it was only for 1 adult. Immediately I emailed them to advise the error. Two more emails sent and still waiting for a response!!!! Tried calling but also useless. When we arrived, explained the situation but they didn't care. Went on to charge 18€ for 2 days breakfast. I'll come onto that in a bit!!!! As soon as we got to the room, I emailed to complain and yes, still waiting for a response. The room.......beds squeaked every time you moved and the breaks didn't work so they moved all over the place. Half a toilet roll which was never replaced. Good job we take our own. Had to use the duvet as a second pillow. You'd think when cleaning the room the chambermaid would notice the lack of loo roll & clearly additional pillows were needed. On the last morning, I woke to a bed bug crawling up my arm. Breakfast...... diabolical. For the amount they charge it's a disgrace. The ”hot” food was cold. The milk was on the turn and the pastries were rubbish. Only 3 choice for cereal. The toasters were rubbish.

My fiance had an exceptional stay at the AC Hotel Algeciras - the staff were all so friendly and accommodating. Special shout out to Rafi, who helped us with our accommodations and gave us great suggestions about places to see and things to do in and around Algeciras. The rooms were exceptionally clean; breakfast was excellent with a large variety of healthy and delicious choices. The hotel location is central to everything, and next to the ”malecon” so we enjoyed walking by the water and looking out over Gibralter and the port. We reminisce about our trip almost every day and can't wait to return! Thank you, AC Hotel Algeciras staff! You're all the best!!

The owner is friendly and a bit old, but it is clean and has everything you need. There is a rest area and kitchen refrigerator on the rooftop, so you can eat something. You can boil hot water in the morning and drink coffee.
