Hotels near Primark, Algeciras

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.

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.

We had booked the wrong size of apartment in error and they managed to accommodate us with an extra room which was helpful. The hotel is in a good location and there are shops nearby if you want to use your self-catering facilities. The port is not far away either. In terms of the self-catering there can be (but check what you are getting!) washing machines, microwaves, cookers etc. The car parking is very secure in that you need a member of staff to let you in and out. On arrival, stop outside and go to reception to get assistance for this. The only issue was you did feel like you could be potentially annoying each time you wanted to take the car out and in. However, the did always look patient!

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!!

Conveniently located walking distance between the Algeciras train station & the ferry port, so the hotel serves tourists & business travelers alike. Good buffet breakfast only 7.00€! The bed was comfortable and the front staff was pleasant and helpful. Would stay again!

Located in front of the port of Algeciras you have a very fun view of the whole tray. The hotel is very old but has been renovated a few times. The room was huge and the bathroom also even though in my opinion too white. The hotel was very comfortable and was very comfortable.

We spend 3 nights in this hotel. We wanted to visit Gibraltar for 2 days, but staying there was very expensive so this was a cheaper option. By car it took us 30 minutes to drive to the border of Gibraltar. The hotel looked grand from the outside. Like something from a Hollywood movie. The garden also was nice. But there was almost nobody. There were hardly any guests this time of year. It felt we had the hotel for ourselves. We even had to collect the key for the indoor swimmingpool at the reception to open the door. Inside the hotel and the room were not that grand or goodlooking. Especially the carpet looked dirty. Our room was ok, it was spacious but we don't see the 4 stars in it. The hotel is not in town center, it could be walked but the path was dark. We spend one night for dinner in the restaurant and that was the best experience. Just like breakfast the food was very good and the service great. Thanks to Alvaro for the personal touch! We asked for advice at the reception and we got friendly and good advice. A good plus is the free parking for our rental car.

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.
