The location and setting of the hotel, with the Sky bar a bonus

Glyn, United Kingdom

The location , the services , friendly staff . Breakfast buffet good

Jean, United Arab Emirates

The location was the ideal center point for walking around the city in any direction for all kinds of famous historic sites. The breakfast offered is a huge buffet of various kinds of croissants, fruit, cereals, yogurt, bread, etc., but if you wants just eggs and coffee or a croissant and coffee, you can find those items at a much cheaper price at little restaurants across the street and nearby locations.

Luke, United Kingdom

Super friendly staff, free gym, nice view from the rooftop bar. All in all a cool place to be. Located in nice, not too crowded neighborhood with short distances to more touristy area if you want.

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 culture.

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

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.

The bed could have been softer, but if I had requested a softer bed, they're the type of business which would've tried to find me a softer bed.

The gym was very average. Unfortunately it is not a place for a workout! The female staff member kept insisting on absolutely no noise whatsoever .. i don't think she understands its not possible to shift weights without making some noise in the process (im not even talking about slamping equipment, a simple movement to adjust a machine and she was in giving out to people) ... When the male staff member was there , he was alot more friendly and accommodating to gym goers.
Breakfast was excellent, great value for money. It def sets one up for a day of sightseeing. The staff are really sperb but a special mention must go to the breakfast host and male barista, they were absoluey fantastic at their role, very warm, friendly and relaxing environment every morning .👌 We would highly recommend this hotel to friends and family ..

The problem was there was no desk, cabinets, etc. I had to put everything on the floor. The other annoying thing is there was no backboard on the bed, just a huge rectangular hole so when you propped up pillows, they all went inside the rectangular hole. Reception was extremely nice. Two male bartenders were very unfriendly.

“Less than I expected”

The first I noticed as I walked into the lobby with my heavy suitcases, that there was no ramp to walk down into the reception/check-in area. Instead at least seven steep steps to go down. I found this particular area impractical. The music in the lobby is a bit too loud as you checking in, and at all times of the day. There was construction above my room from 9am-5:30p and all I could her was a jackhammer pounding my head. When I reported it to the front desk, nothing was offered. Basically bare with it. The bathroom has no counter space, so I had to put my toiletries in the floor. The staff at the front desk seemed more like robots than genuine. With the exception of Marta. She was always helpful, naturally friendly, and easy to deal with. She was the best part of my stay.
I liked the location
