excellent hotel, excellent staff and amazing location. Easily accessible to all which was needed. Bar and facilities were out of this world, with a stunning view from the roof terrace

The staff at reception is amazing. The gym is nice. The amazing Skybar is nothing special in December, but it's winter:)

Petar, Macedonia

Naiara at reception was very helpful and have me a late checkout

James, Australia

Friendly staff, clean room, excellent location. I got a free upgrade which is always good. The bathroom and shower were very clean and the bed comfortable. Easy to walk in and out the hotel, even at night the hotel was open and there was sombody at the reception. (unlike some hotels where you have to wait at night until someone opens the door) I had nothing to complain about. perfect hotel.

Stay in the heart of Barcelona –

The area around the Hotel Axel Barcelona is known as the Gay-xample because of its lively gay scene. The staff has knowledge of the local gay scene, and the hotel is hetero-friendly too.

Offering free Wi-Fi throughout, this design hotel is close to Passeig de Gràcia's exclusive boutiques. The Axel Hotel’s 500m² Spa Centre includes a hydromassage pool and saunas, and the modern rooms have flat-screen satellite TVs.

The Axel’s Sky Bar features a large swimming pool, a terrace with a hot tub and a cocktail bar. Here you will find parties, art exhibitions and shows.

The Axel Hotel Barcelona & Urban Spa offers easy access to the Ramblas, the Picasso Museum and Gothic Quarter. The hotel occupies an attractive 19th-century building.

Eixample is a great choice for travellers interested in architecture, food and shopping.

This is our guests' favourite part of Barcelona, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

This hotel is also rated for the best value in Barcelona! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

An inside look at Axel Hotel Barcelona & Urban Spa- Adults Only

Faithful to the concept and style of Axel-design, comfortable, cosmopolitan atmosphere and good value for price. The 105 rooms combine the touch of decoration from Modernism with the warmth and elegance of the Mediterranean. The beautiful spaces at Axel Hotel Barcelona, have become it the urban meeting point of the heterofriendly and trendy LGBTI scene in the city, offering a unique atmosphere with an environment full of design elements.

“Modern and friendly hotel in a great location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
Room layout varies. Ours initially had a nice view but stuffy layout compared to one my friend had stayed in before; we were able to change to a more appealing one at the same rate. Staff could be more vigilant with the minibar, where previous guests had substituted water for gin in some bottles (they made this right when we alerted them). Elevator operation is somewhat confusing.
Great location, appealing modern rooms and common areas, friendly and responsive staff. Very good breakfast and spa (these weren't included in our rate). Great hotel gym (which was included). Restrained and traditional decor compared to some gay-oriented hotels.

“Warn down charme for wanna-be's”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
While the location, rooftop-view and facade are fantastic, the rooms consist of fake leather, cheap perfume (we had to air the room before being able to sleep) and worn down appliances (lose power supplies, wiggling shelves, ...). Our 'premium room' faced a dark backyard and the only lights were cold-blue LEDs that created the feeling of living inside a fridge, rather than in the sunny heart of Barcelona. We tried various hotels and hostels in the city, and this was by far the worst value to money ratio. Be aware: the spa costs 10€ per person and day!
