About
AC Hotel Palacio Universal is in a classical-style building dating from the 19th century. This smart and luxurious hotel is next to the port, and 5 minutes on foot from Vigo city center. After a day of sightseeing or business in the city, you can relax in the Turkish bath, or by doing some exercise in the hotel’s fitness center. The AC lounge provides you with a tranquil space where you can chat with friends or colleagues and dine in style without leaving the hotel. Alternatively, you can stroll around the surrounding gardens and outdoor terrace. Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel. From here you can easily access the port area, and the city center, where you can find a wealth of Galician seafood restaurants and trendy bars. Boats to the Cíes Islands leave from right in front of the hotel.

Great breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Great for food and activities.
Room lighting was dim and room felt stuffy.
Excellent location near the ferry terminal (for Cies island) and old town.Front desk staff very efficient.Room was good and clean as well as the bathrooms.However bathroom has a glass door - opaque, but no privacy at all, with huge gaps all around.

Everything - the staff were very attentive. Sofia and Santi were amazing!
location was perfect next to everything, room spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable like at home.
I like everything
The cleanliness of the room and the staff at the front desk and restaurant.
The view from the room looking at the water was beautiful. The location to the center of town and the water front was excellent. The room was clean. The staff went above and beyond to help us with some of our special requests. The breakfast was delicious.
Location was close enough to all train and bus terminals.Staff was friendly and helpful.Complimentary water.
The room smelled of tobacco.There were hairs and clumps of dust across the room, also a bug in the bathroom. Only slippers for one.No bathrobes.
Lovely comfy and well appointed hotel, very helpful staff and great location for walking into old town
Beautiful room right on the harbour. Grear bathroom, beautiful bed, so comfortable
No pool
Very good location, close to the port and city. Good breakfast.
Carefull! I got into a trap of not checking exactly the room I had booked. I didn't imagine there can be such a difference in a 4star hotel in rooms they offer. The good price is just for a shity room with almost no window. It gives you the impression of staying in a basement. If you open the "window" you got constant noise from AC equipment located outside and a totally no view (concert wall opposite). I didn't check the description of the room, but would never imagine a 4star Mariott can offer a basement type of a room. Horrible.
Location was superb. Right by the ferry to Cies Islands.
The bed was small and not super comfortable. The room was smaller than expected.
The hotel was super nice, very clean and super central, it’s walking distance from every attraction and shopping areas in Vigo.
Everything was fabulous.
The location is excellent & facilities modern & clean. Coffee & tea making facilities in the room. Vigo is beautiful… I wish we had had more time!
Great location at the port. Close to restaurants and bars
I enjoyed the location and the staff were very friendly.
My room had a perfume scent which was too much and not nice at all. The fitness centre was a tiny room and only suitable for one person so hardly a fitness centre. The television had no international options, purely local Spanish channels.
Perfect location to board cruise ship & dining choices fir dinners. Lovely reception area. Comfy rooms.
The location is close to city, customer service at its best, brilliant place to stay in Vigo.
Breakfast options
Spacious and clean rooms. Great location.
Breakfast could include more traditional Spanish dishes.
