About

Ac Hotel Diagonal L'Illa By Marriott

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Spacious, comfortable rooms — Guests repeatedly praise the generous size of the rooms and the comfortable beds, with some noting rooms of 35–40 square metres.
  • Excellent location for shopping and transport — The hotel is above the L'Illa shopping centre, with a tram stop directly outside, good bus connections, and easy access to the airport, cruise port, and major sights.
  • Friendly and efficient service — Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful, contributing to a high service rating.
  • Great breakfast variety — The breakfast buffet offers a wide selection, including healthy options and Spanish specialties, and is well-stocked throughout service hours.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Slightly outside the historic centre — The hotel is positioned on Avinguda Diagonal, a bit away from the Gothic Quarter, so you'll need to take a bus or tram to reach the main tourist areas.
  • No on-site parking listed — There is no parking information provided, so guests arriving by car may need to arrange parking separately.
  • Street noise on the avenue side — Some rooms face Avinguda Diagonal, and guests advise choosing an inner courtyard view to avoid traffic noise.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
