AC Hotel Algeciras by Marriott
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, if you need a clean, reliable hotel near the port and ferry terminal and want the top-scoring option in Algeciras. Do not expect five-star luxury: it is a four-star, and the Luxury label here reflects a small local field.

This is our Luxury pick for Algeciras. It suits ferry passengers, business travellers and anyone stopping a night or two on the way to or from the port. The property lists a restaurant, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. That is a short list for a top pick, so do not expect a spa or pool; neither is listed.
Skip it if you want resort-style facilities or a true five-star stay. Also skip it if your main goal is Gibraltar sightseeing on foot: the sights there are a long way off.
Location and getting around
The address is Carretera del Rinconcillo, esquina Hermanos Portilla. Guests rate the location 8.6 out of 10. They say it is near the port and ferry terminal, with views of the bay and Gibraltar.
The nearby sights in our data are all in Gibraltar and all far. The Gibraltar National Museum is about 8.4 km away, roughly 105 minutes on foot. The Great Synagogue is about 8.6 km, around 108 minutes, and the Moorish Castle about 8.8 km, close to 110 minutes. You will need public transport or a taxi, and remember the border crossing. All walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
The 8.5 score comes from 2,734 reviews and is the joint highest of the 5 hotels we compared. Cleanliness is a clear strength: guests describe the property as tidy, spotless and well kept. Location near the port is the other main plus.
Breakfast draws mixed comments. The buffet is fresh and extensive, according to many, but some guests mention slow restocking or limited variety.
Price and how it compares with our other Algeciras picks
The reference price was €84.15 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. That is about €168 for both nights, against a sample median of €68.82 a night. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Sercotel Aura Algeciras, was €63 a night with the same 8.5 score. Our Best Value pick, Alborán Algeciras, was €77.40 with an 8.4. The gap between all three is small. The AC costs about €21 more a night than the Sercotel for the same guest score, so pick it if its port location and clean record matter to you.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 5 eligible hotels in Algeciras. Our Luxury slot goes to five-star hotels first, and a four-star can only fill it with a score of at least 8.5. No five-star qualified, and the AC met the bar with 8.5 from more than 2,700 reviews and official four-star status.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Bay or Gibraltar views are not guaranteed for every room, so ask if that matters. Check whether breakfast is in your rate. If you are catching an early ferry, confirm the walking route to the terminal on a map.
