AC Hotel Atocha by Marriott

I was very happy to have chosen this property. It is only a three minute walk from the West Entrance of the Atocha station. Decent grocery stores only a short stroll away on Delicia. Good proximity to three main museums. The staff were all absolutely lovely, and all speak impeccable English- which only inspires me to obtain a better grasp of their language. As an airline crew member I can only hope I come across in my job as hospitably as they do. One of the most impressive points is that I was given my room at 7:30AM, being on a very early-arriving flight from the US. (I’ve been told by a friend who is employed at a Marriott-branded property that such is the policy- to allow an early check-in PROVIDED the room is available. LOTS of hotels are sticklers about NOT providing this courtesy, and it’s no fun waiting around the better part of your first day of a trip to be handed a key. The primary reason why I’d always seek out Marriott brands first, despite not even being a Bonvoy member). Clean, quiet, spacious room with a luxuriously comfortable bed.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The place looks great, is very comfortable, and has excellent facilities. Plus, the location is perfect—right next to the main train station. On top of that, the hairdryer was one of the best you can find in a hotel.

The Breakfast was more than excellent. The lady looking after us at breakfast was very friendly. The reception staff were good made us welcome after our long flight (22hours). Even the taxi driver from the airport was very nice. Bed was comfortable. If I had to pick anything the floor in our room needs fixing. Didn’t efect our stay though. The shower room was good plenty of hot water. Thank you to the staff for ooking after us.

Location is great if you use the Atocha train station, yet its immediate surrounding is quiet; walking distance to several local shops and restaurants; good setup for remote working if needed.
