What guests think

Across recent reviews, AC Hotel San Cugat by Marriott is praised for friendly, professional staff and generally clean, comfortable rooms, while its quiet, out-of-center setting is balanced by a nearby train station that offers straightforward access to Barcelona.

Multiple reviews cite maintenance problems around the pool, including cleanliness and worn decking. Breakfast is often enjoyed, though variety can feel limited and some dinners are considered pricey. The area feels safe but has few nearby shops or restaurants; parking is easy. Expect a comfortable, business-friendly base with convenient rail links.

This is not a 4 star hotel. The hotel lobby is decent but the rest of the hotel is pretty rundown. Rooms are tired. Bathrooms and showers are old and mouldy. Swimming pool is an absolute joke. Dirty pool, the steps are broken, the decking around the pool has come apart and is a trip hazard. Where the sun loungers are located, I think it was grass before but now you’re literally sitting in mud! No staff at the pool. Breakfast is a shambles. Extremely limited choice. The hotel is located miles away from the centre and is a pain to get to. Staff are cold, rude and extremely unpleasant. The other reviews I read prior to booking are either fake or the guests love shabby food, rooms and shambolic service. Do not book this hotel, stay elsewhere, even if it’s a hostel! Oh and finally, my wife’s purse was stolen from our room!

Helt ok affärs hotell. God frukost . Poolområdet var verkligen inte bra! Poolen var smutsig och det kändes inte alls fräscht att bada i poolen. Området runt poolen var också slitet och solstolarna stod i högt gräs/jord vilket var mycket ofräscht. Jag hade sett fram mot att använda poolen men varken jag eller övriga gäster använde den .

Super fint hotel, sød betjening. Dog lidt langt ude, når det er meget business præget og i industri kvarter. Poolen trænger til et opløft.

The staff were friendly and helpful. I especially liked the fact you could easily park for free around the hotel. The hotel is getting a bit dated and could do with some modernisation but aside from that it was clean and well maintained.

There is nothing nearby like convenience stores or restaurants. It is a dew steps from the metro station wich was very convenient but it is far away from the city and the airport. The taxi was 78 euros from the hotel to the airport. On the bright side, breakfast was very good, with many options of pastries, delicious spanish breads, spanish omellete, cereals, etc. We didn’t like the all the toiletries smelled like man cologne. The ride on the metro to the city took like 40 minutes or so but tge good thing is you don’t need to transfer.

The hotel itself is nice and easy access to the train station. Staff and facilities are great. Very safe to walk at night. The downsides are: it is a bit far from the city of barcelona (placa de catalunya), it is 30 minutes away but you only need to take one train to get to the city. You can get the 10 trips ticket which only costs around €14. Second, there are no shops around the area but the hotel restaurant is open for orders. They do not change the breakfast menu but the chef can cook for you fresh according to the breakfast list menu. Only 30 minutes away from the airport but no other transport apart from booking a taxi or you need to go to the barcelona and take the train or bus from there. Generally it is a nice and quiet hotel. You have a pool and a gym for recreation.
