Looking for a two-night stay in Las Palmas to attend a concert, we chose the AC Hotel based on its location, keen pricing and good TripAdvisor reviews.
We arrived onto Gran Canaria using the Fred Olsen ferry from Tenerife then caught their free shuttle bus service to Las Palmas - which literally stopped at the door of the AC Hotel! Check-in was friendly & easy and no problem with our very early arrival, scoring an upgrade to a superior room with balcony.
The room was spacious and clean and the balcony had nice views across the port and town of Las Palmas. Being on close to the top floor, it was very quiet with a comfortable bed ensuring good rest here.
The location was just about perfect. The walk to the beach was just a few minutes and public buses (e.g. to visit the Old Town) were also really close by. The free airport shuttle bus did a fine job of dropping us at the airport when we left, a nice new Mercedes Benz minibus and we were the only passengers, so it was basically a private transfer for free, a nice inclusion.
The staff we encountered here were always friendly and helpful.
In terms of criticism, it was a shame there was no late bar/restaurant facility to utilize after we returned from our concert. In the room, the wi-fi reception was very patchy and unreliable, plus there was no desk from which to work - the only usable working space was the table, but then there was no power nearby to hook up to a computer/other chargers. Some chairs for the balcony would also have been handy to make the use of that nice space.
Overall, this was a perfect pick for us. A nice standard of accommodation in a perfect location, everything was so handy for our needs, and priced very well.
