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.

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 culture.

Hotel is a bit dated. The fact you need to pay 10e to use the spa is a joke and the guy down stairs is super rude it makes you feel like you are making his life painful. He rolled his eyes at one point. Won’t be back. Maybe teach your employee some manners
Location is great

The location was excellent! Close to everything but still quite peaceful. The hotel was fresh, the rooms immaculate and well appointed. I had a room with a balcony and lovely view of the street. The staff was exceptional!! Very warm, welcoming, informative and helpful. Daniel warmly welcomed me as he checked me in. Gave me all of the information I needed to set on my day. He was sure to greet me every time I passed the reception area. Gago was efficient in checking me out early in the am and assisting me with transportation to the airport. All of the staff were fantastic! My only regret was not utilizing the spa and gym facilities more. The facilities were impeccable. Danny, the masseuse, treated me to a complimentary 10 minute massage. Wish I had more time to get a full treatment. Amazing hands. The rooftop bar seemed pretty swanky but again didn’t have time to fully enjoy this amenity. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

I arrived 2 hours earlier than the check-in time, and since my room was not ready yet I asked if I could go to the gym instead. They said that I needed to pay 8€ to go the gym or wait until I checked in and go for free. I found this pretty petty since I was a guest on the hotel.
They upgraded me to a premium room for free.

Staff charged me again for the booking which had been prepaid but corrected the issue right away. Also Booking.com didn't notify at time of booking that pool and spa wasn't working. Was only told once at the property. The hotel did have a note in their own website.
Good location and clean.
