Mixed feelings about this stay. I have booked 2 rooms with ocean view approximately 3 months prior to our stay. When checking in, we got rooms on different floors and only 1 had ocean view. Didn’t have time to switch rooms, but received a discount at the front desk - which is fair. The check-in process in general was extremely slow…. The rooms weren’t particularly clean. There was sand on the floor and on the bed (?).
In the lobby, the smell of cigarette smoke comes in so easily, as if people are smoking inside. It’s not particularly nice.
The dinner was great, with amazing service and marvellous food! I would like to highlight exceptional service of Sonia (event sales) with booking a dinner for us.
The breakfast had great selection, though a little hectic with ordering the omelette / eggs - but that’s surely due to a very busy season.
At the reception, the ladies in general were very polite and friendly, but everything takes a little too long.

✅ What works 👍
• The hotel offers modern, spacious rooms with minibar, air-conditioning and private bathroom. Some rooms have sea- or harbour-views. 
• Top-floor features stand out: there’s a rooftop pool + solarium and a gym with sea / city views, which many guests appreciate for relaxing or a light workout. 
• The hotel is well located: close to the port/marina, and within walking distance (or a short taxi/bus ride) to the city’s historic centre (triangular zone of old town / old city) and to shops/restaurants — convenient if you want to explore Las Palmas on foot. 
• Many reviews highlight friendly and helpful staff, and overall a “clean, decent and comfortable” stay. 
⚠️ What to be aware of / where it falls short 👇
• Although rooms are modern, some guests find them a bit basic / impersonal, following the typical “chain-hotel style” rather than a charming boutique-hotel vibe. 
• Some reviewers mention noise issues: e.g. rooms near elevators or hallways can be noisy, and traffic noise outside may be noticeable depending on room location. 
• A few complain about maintenance / aging of certain facilities (bathrooms, floors) or lack of consistent upkeep, which can make part of the hotel feel a bit “tired.” 
• The hotel is better suited for city stays or business trips than for beach-focused vacations: beaches are not within walking distance — you’ll need public transport or a short drive. 
🎯 For whom is it good / less ideal
• Good for: travelers looking for a clean, modern, comfortable stay in central Las Palmas; people visiting for business or city tourism; guests who value convenience, practical amenities and decent views.
• Less ideal for: travelers hoping for a beach-resort feel or a “holiday-hotel by the sea,” or those seeking a historic/charming atmosphere rather than a standardized hotel experience.
My take: AC Hotel Iberia Las Palmas is a solid mid-to-upper tier hotel: nothing glamorous or boutique, but reliable, practical and comfortable. It works especially well if you plan mostly to explore Las Palmas city, want easy access to port/old town, and appreciate a rooftop pool + city-view gym. If your main aim is beach-time or a “relax & resort” vibe — you might want to consider a hotel closer to a beach rather than right in the city.

I thought Marriott hotels are supposed to be nice. The AC is incredibly loud to the point you can't sleep. Either have the loud AC on or open the windows and have mosquitos come in and bite you. The building is old and run down. The elevators can only handle 4 people each, but can't even handle 4 people and one small suitcase. The walls are thin and I heard a neighbor moaning. The hotel is right next to a school, so you'll hear screaming children starting at 7:30 AM. There is also an unpleasant, strong smell coming out of the toilet. I think it has to do with the sewage system on the island. I had this problem at another hotel, but not at all. The wifi doesn't work in the room!!! The only good thing about this hotel is the convenient location. Out of 5 hotels stayed at on the island so far, this one was the worst.

My boyfriend and I recently traveled here to celebrate our anniversary and visit family. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the staff was so helpful and friendly and made us feel at home! Erika and Jose in the breakfast buffet were stand out stars, making sure we settled in properly and offering a warm smile and greeting every morning. The front desk staff, whose names I regrettably did not get, were always kind and willing to help.
They are also located in a city area with plenty of restaurants and sights to see within walking distance. Historic Center is a 10-minute walk away with some beautiful architecture and amazing spots to eat. Anything within Las Palmas is within a 15-minute drive, and if you're looking to explore the rest of the island it's within an easy hour drive at most.
The rooms are definitely dated, and in need of renovation. However, being a Marriott employee myself, I understand renovations can be out of hotel staff's control. We did have some issues with the room we checked into the first night of our stay - TV not working and no water in the shower. The staff was completely understanding and immediately moved us to a different room right next door with everything in good condition and cool A/C.
Overall, the staff is doing the best they can with what they have. I would absolutely stay here again!

Staying for couple days and the hotel was well below expectations for a 4★. AC seems like exploding not working properly how do I sleep? broken TV, inside mini fridge broken glass, faulty wifi. WiFi is extremely unreliable and reception confirmed it had been an ongoing issue for weeks why take full price if you can’t provide the service.
Public areas look modern and the location is convenient, but this does not make up for the overall condition of the hotel. While staff were generally friendly, overpriced and does not meet 4★ standards. Would not recommend to anyone with business trips or online content person as you will be not getting any internet better off getting e-sim from wherever you’re travelling from
