“Wifi problems”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

AC Aravaca is a fine hotel with a good breakfast, but the problems with Wifi Internet are serious. In a recent stay (October 2011) I found myself in the lobby struggling to connect to the internet. There was a Wifi signal, but I was not able to connect. A fellow traveller who had a different type of device (laptop) had the same problem. After mentioning this issue to the receptionist (who was having a busy evening with check-ins) I was told tersely that “I’m resetting the system, try in 15 minutes, alright?” The Wifi did not work in my room either, in fact the signal did not reach my room which was in the far side of the corridor when entering from the lobby. So, when AC Aravaca tells you that they have internet, the only Wifi you can connect to from your room turns out to be Telefonica’s per-per-use system (which is fine if you have a subscription with them, or one of those global Wifi roaming accounts from Boingo or other companies). Overall, the Wifi issues dented my stay at AC Aravaca. This simply does not go well with Marriott’s image, now that they own AC hotels. Of course, seeing these problems, Marriott may start charging for Wifi in the future (in exchange for a service that is more reliable) but that will be the day when I stop staying here.

Room Tip: Near lobby would have wifi reception

“Good Hotel to recomend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2010

The Hotel is modern and spacious. Rooms are large, the beds are comfortable and the bathroom is also fitted out nicely. The free soft drinks in the minibar are a nice touch.

“Good price but extremely noisy, sleeping after 7.30h rather impossible”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2010

Nice amenities, rooms are clean and ok, furniture modern...location ok, takes about 30-45 minutes with public transport to get to the city center.

Staff not friendly but helpful. However, very noisy, lot of business travellers who leave the room early in the morning, slamming doors. Cleaning ladies immediately start cleaning rooms then, talk loudly in the corridors and moving furniture...In summary I do not advice to go there at all if you are on holidays and would like to sleep any longer than 7.30h in the morning.

“Nothing wrong with Hotel but a bit out of the way of Madrid city centre”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2009

The Hotel is modern and spacious. Rooms are large, the beds are comfortable and the bathroom is also fitted out nicely. The free soft drinks in the minibar are a nice touch.

A number of my colleagues had issues with the temperature of their rooms. I think this was because the heating had been turned on (as it was november), yet when we arrived it was 17degrees - so quite warm for us brits. Many complained the rooms were too hot, yet if you opened the window it was too noisy due to the motorway noise. That said if you are a 'cold' person you wont have any issue with the temperature of the rooms!

My only issue was the distance from the city centre - it is a bus then a tube ride to get to the heart of Madrid. so popping out in the evening for a meal or a drink was difficult as the surrounding neighbourhood was fairly quiet.

If I was travelling for business, I wouldn't have an issue staying here again. However if I was travelling for pleasure I'd want to stay a bit closer to the centre.

“Quite new and fresh but hot water takes ages to reach the bathroom”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2009

The hotel is quite new. Rooms are comfortable, the beds too.

Hot water took about 5 (real) minutes to reach the room, in the morning, in the evening and on different days.

Choice for breakfast is rather limited.
