AC hotels by Marriott Hotels in Tarragona

The hotel is very central to everything in Tarragona and is clean and of good quality. What really made the stay special was how helpful the employees we met were throughout this. As an example, we had a difficulty connecting to Wifi which the staff resolved quickly for us. The reception staff had great local information and were helpful throughout. I'd recommend staying here

Good first impressions - well put together hotel with great amenities and nice staff. First evening I ordered room service - It took over 1hour 15 minutes to arrive, and that's after I went to ask at the reception. Also the room door wouldn't shut properly - it was still open when it seemingly had clunked shut - but this was dealt with swiftly, thank you. First shower I had - oh dear - it has a head with one narrow spray (not like a regular/ normal round or rectangular one) that fires at you almost horizontally and in a narrow clump (irritating and impractical) - so even when you try and slow the pressure, it still goes to the back of the bath, over the bath end, and swamps the bathroom - firstly you simply cannot shower with such a dumb 'design student' reject style shower head, and secondly you'll spend several minutes after finishing having a shower, using up all the towels to mop the bathroom floor, and leave them in a giant wet mess, only to start smelling during the night - terrific (not) ! The last time I experienced a shower head that went only horizontal over the back of the bath, was a (very good, apart from this,) two star hotel in Morocco - but even that one had a regular round head (so you could actually wash properly/ normally under it), not a single tiny narrow head like at this hotel. The room I had was the cheapest, and apart from not having an opening window (I know this is kind of standard these days, so I'm not bothered), it was a well appointed comfortable room and even had a side view of the Med, which was great. People will always come to this hotel because of its awesome location, including a roof terrace ..commanding some of the best full vantage points in Tarragona (and many other reasons), but I hope the complacency of them knowing this, doesn't hold them back from considering customers' improvements / suggestions. I had pasta carbonara for dinner the 2nd night - a few tubes of pasta in a thin limp sauce, with some almost microscopic strands of ham (seemed like a microwave job) - no bread with it, no salad, very very unsatisfactory it was ..I was still hungry, so I ordered a small pizza, which was ok, but seemed like a basic supermarket one (it wasn't good), and it took a long time to arrive. The rooftop pool, they call a 'plunge pool', but this is underselling it - I did lots of lengths in it, it's maybe 4ft deep .. it's great. The lower pool is also nice and is much bigger and deeper. The day I left, the fire alarm went off at about 7am - A bit annoying. Some people started to leave the building and some probably didn't. This is overall a very good hotel, and I was really impressed. I liked the staff on reception, the breakfast staff and the rooftop bar/ restaurant staff - they were all very friendly and very efficient - This is especially nice when you're by yourself. Tarragona is great and swimming in the sea was wonderful too.

The rooms are clean and we heard very little of the neighbours. The room was not very big and had no terrass. It is understandable that the rooftop pool and bar were closed (because of the ongoing pandemic), but there had been no information about this on the website. The breakfast was not what one might expect from a 4-star hotel: we got a tray each with a small bowl of fruit, some bread, croissant and a yoghurt. They really served only the bare minimum, but they had not reduced the price. We were very disappointed. I would not go back and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone either.

We have been visiting Tarragona frequently, sometimes twice a year, since 2005. We have stayed at the Hotel Lauria every time from 2006, because it has always been so comfortable and friendly. The Lauria could not be in a better location, with easy access to the shops, and to many Roman sites such as the amphitheatre and the Forum. The new theatre is directly opposite on the other side of the Rambla Nova. The program of refurbishment has been proceeding for a few years now, and must be close to completion. The upgrades to the rooms and public areas are excellent. We were unable to have our usual room this time, but, thanks to our long-serving friend, José, in Reception, we had a super room with a sea view, overlooking the recently refurbished pool. The buffet breakfast is, as usual, well-stocked and frequently overseen by another long-serving friend, Juan. The new coffee machine is great, once you work out how to get the best out of it. Manager Eloy is friendly & helpful as ever, as are all the other Reception and cleaning staff. This was the first time we had managed to get to Tarragona for the spectacular Easter parade. This is a ”must see” event that we strongly recommend.

On Monday, March 7, we were staying with my family and I in this hotel and we had an incidence with the bathroom as it was fully attached, with all that it involves having children. With the aggravating of being almost morning (7 of the morning) , the two employees who attended us did it in a magistral way, resolving the problem in 10 minutes. The receptionist quickly gave us a room card that was empty for if we needed to get into the bathroom, at last it was not necessary to use it, but there is the detail. The cleaner in 5 minutes resolved the attack.

This is quite an innovative place, or at least it seems that way to me. The host, Xavi is a very good multi linguistic chappy and has created this place almost by himself. The rooms are super clean as is the entire building. There is a communal table and chairs downstairs and you can keep your food in a communal fridge, just mark it with your room number. It’s quite central, easy to get to and from anywhere from here in this busking and vibrant micro-city from here. Highly recommended, great value for money. Very deserving of its rating as 3rd best hotel in Tarragona.

We stayed here for 1 night in June of 2022. The people working the front desk were very friendly and nice. Our rooms were okay - nothing great, nothing bad, just a nice place to sleep for a night. The good - there was an elevator. The bad - the A/C was working but not as cool as we are used to. I would have liked it to be a bit cooler. There was parking but it was first come first serve (about 10 spots). We checked in right away at about 4:00 and then kept our car there in the parking lot as we didn't want to lose the spot. We walked around the hotel a bit & it looked like on street parking was very full. So we were very glad to have our car parked and it was an added bonus that the hotel & parking was behind a gate you had to be let in to access. Made us feel very secure. There was a nice small grocery store within a block so we walked down & got some supplies we needed. That night we ate supper at the attached restaurant and were very happy with it. Again, the people working there were super nice and helpful. Their menu was in pictures and in English so that helped. Our son had cuddlefish and loved it. I had beef and although it was different than steak in the States, it was very good. We also had breakfast in the morning at the attached restaurant and it was also very nice. A very typical Spanish hotel breakfast - fruit, lunch meats, cheese and breads. All in all a great 1 night stay while we visited Tarragona.

I’m not familiar with Tarragona city for the first time. I booked this hotel on Ctrip. It is about 3~4 kilometers away from the city and 500 meters away from the hotel. There are buses, either No. 6 or No. 54. You can get to the city from 5 to 8 stations, and the distance to the attractions is also very convenient. The hotel’s breakfast is delicious, the rooms are large, and the environment is really good. If you go in summer, the hotel also has a swimming pool. The price is very high. , Shopping is very convenient, the price is affordable, and I will stay here next time. The city of Tarragona is beautiful and it is worth visiting. It is a very historic city!

We stayed midweek for 4 nights in a city view room. Room was clean and comfortable and we weren’t bothered by any road noise. Air conditioning worked well. Reception were helpful when needed. Breakfast was fine, better than we’ve had in some other city hotels. The pool was lovely and we had it to ourselves most mornings before heading off sightseeing. The caravan cafe didn’t open whilst we were there due to demand. The nearest beach was gorgeous with soft golden sand and the chiringitos opened whilst late at night. The only thing to be aware of is that taxis were expensive, ten euro to do the mile into town. We ended up walking in via the beach in the day and using buses to go out at night, but these stopped running quite early. We taxied back once and walked back after midnight twice, it felt safe. I had seen on here it was a 20 minute walk, that seemed optimistic and was more like 30, at least it was downhill on way back from town which means it’s uphill into town. All in all a good stay if you like walking.
