AKO SUITE Luxe

Booked this hotel because it had a kitchen and pool. The location is fantastic and easy walking distance to all the major sites. It is also well located for the metro and taxis. The floorplan is very functional and having the kitchen is helpful. The unit is basic, very clean, the bed firm (a bit too firm for me but my husband liked). It was also very quiet. I was disappointed with the pool. I wanted something to cool off in at the end of hot days but the pool was so cold that I could not get in it. I don't understand why you would have a pool and not heat it at all. Was absolutely the coldest pool I have been around. The hardy souls that did use it basically popped in and clamoured out as soon as possible. The seating area around was great although the chairs are starting to sag. Service was good.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights with our 16-month-old daughter. The hotel was excellent, the location is great for getting out and exploring the sights of Barcelona. We need an apartment type room rather than the traditional hotel room. The room was roomy, good kitchen facilities, and a comfortable bed. We emailed the hotel before we arrived to request a cot for the room when we checked in the cot and a high chair were both in the room. The hotel does have a pool on the roof, however, we didn’t try it out. Close to the hotel is plenty of bars and places to eat, if you need to buy something for the room, there seems to be a supermarket on every street. We arrived in the evening, a taxi for the airport is approx. 40 euros, however, the airport bus stops a couple of streets away. If we did go back to Barcelona I’d have no reservations about staying at this hotel again.

I really have 3 nice days in this hotel in my bussiness travel to Barcelona. Thanks to all the team specially to Juan to help me in all I needed. I recommend it if you are thinking to visit Barcelona . You will feel better than in your own home

AKO Suite Hotel have new modern rooms with quite luxurious decor, sufficient amenities, mini bar in the room, small pool deck on the top floor with towel service, and a separated sun deck. English speaking reception staff around the clock with a very friendly and service-minded attitude. We first got accommodated into room 201, a nice room with bathtub. It is situated right above the reception hall which has a sliding door that resonates in the room upon opening and closing and the windows lost the battle of silencing the outside road traffic noise. After a night with very little sleep, we asked for a room change which was granted immediately. All we had to do was pack our things and they would then transfer our luggage to the new room, leaving us to go out and enjoy the day. Coming back to the hotel, we had been moved to a backyard-facing room, room 305, which has a lovely large rain forest shower cabin instead of bathtub and was quiet. The only reason for rating it '4 - very good' instead of '5 - excellent' is the fact that the traffic noise on the road-facing side of the hotel is very disturbing. I cannot help thinking an extra layer of glass or better insulation of the window frames would reduce this noise, but otherwise AKO is really value for your money. We will not hesitate to come back to AKO next time we're in Barcelona.

AKO Suites provides a great apartment-like experience while still retaining good guest services and amenities. It is in a great location - minutes walk to area attractions, public transport, La Rambla, and the gothic quarter. The rooms themselves were very comfortable except for the bed (two twins joined together don't make a queen). Simple, clean, and contemporary dictate the experience. In particular, I enjoyed how the bathroom and closets were laid out in the hallway that separates the bedroom with the adjoining kitchen and living room. It is a suite, with a small fridge (mini bar), heating element, sink, and kitchen accessories. The bedroom where I stayed featured an entire wall that was basically glass. Great for looking out, just know when to use the blackout shades. There's a small rooftop lounge and pool area as well. Wifi speeds were good at the 50mbps mark. Helpful tip: you can ask for a coffee maker and an iron from the front desk, if needed. If you are looking for parking, the hotel doesn't have any but there are several structures close by. All in all, AKO provides a roomy, clean, well placed experience.
