to get started.

The breackfast, spa, fitness and rooftop pool were nice although much smaller than expected (fotos) Well situated with great bars and restaurants on every corner. The personnel were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunate that the use of the spa costs €10/day extra pp

Thomas, United States of America

I spent 2 days at Axel combined job/kick-off with 3 colleagues. Excellent service and amazing facilities where the roof-top bar with swimming pool is the icing on the cake! Special thanks to Bartosz who help us with everything from organizing dinners to setting up the conference room with short notice. We will be back! /Peter

After a rocky start and finally getting into our suite on the 7th floor, room was nice and big with lovely big balcony which we loved, with a nice view The staff was happy & polite! The location of the hotel is quite local to everything - la rambla was only a 10 minute walk

Stay in the Heart of Barcelona – Great location – show map

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, though 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 travelers interested in architecture, food and shopping.

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

“good breakfast and facilities (spa, gym, rooftop pool & Bar) std rooms disappointing and €€€€”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉The standard room was a dissapointment, even though ours was supposedly an upgrade. Not at all like the images on the web site and definately way too expensive for what was offered. The Bed was rock hard, the shower smelled and the toilet had no working ventilation. The floor was painted concrete and worn. Not what you would normally expect for €250+ per night. We complained and upgraded to the next catergory room (at an additional €25/n normally €40/n) and the room was very nice and resembled the photos on their website. It is difficult to comprehend why you can find such different standards of rooms within the same hotel. Hotel management would be well advised to close the gap, either upgrade the std rooms or lower the price. In this market the first option would be the best.
눇The breackfast, spa, fitness and rooftop pool were nice although much smaller than expected (fotos) Well situated with great bars and restaurants on every corner. The personnel were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunate that the use of the spa costs €10/day extra pp

눉There was no coffee and tea facilities in the room and you had to pay even for the two small bottles of water in the fridge which we thought were complimentary. Our room needed a little attention as the wallpaper was flaking off. Drinks at the roof top bar are expensive.
눇Friendly staff, great location, nice room. The facilities on the top of the building are wonderful - a bar, small pool and sun bathing facilities.

눉Had to wait an extra 4 hours to get into our room after a long day of travelling with no apology or explanation! Then while waiting to get into our room I sliced my foot on glass at roof top bar! Room wasn't the cleanest & when the maid cleaned the room we was left with the same sheets and the same towels and room was still dirty. Also rooftop bar was above our room and we didn't realise loud music would go on every night till 4am and could hear the chairs being dragged along the floor. If we was to stay agin we would book a room lower down!
눇After a rocky start and finally getting into our suite on the 7th floor, room was nice and big with lovely big balcony which we loved, with a nice view The staff was happy & polite! The location of the hotel is quite local to everything - la rambla was only a 10 minute walk

눉I've been there in the past and it was great. Now five years later while the hotel hasn't really changed the balance of gay and straight has and it seems to be tipping toward straight. Not a bad thing but it changes the atmosphere of a playful gay hotel. The spa sucks however. Mostly because it is FILTHY and too many rules and also nudity is absolutely forbidden because it's coed.
눇The location is great.

눉Barcelona's weather is just hot on the summer, the AC in the rooms is not the same as Americans are used to so it maybe an issue of your expect the same as in the States. We stayed in a suite with outdoor space so lowering the outdoor canopy in front of the large glass doors/ balconies helped to reduce the impact of the sun and kept the suite chilled.
눇The staff was fantastic, upon arrival Alessandra at the front desk gave us a warm welcome , she was very professional and friendly at the same time. Other staff members at the front desk were also very nice. Javier was also specially helpful. Our suite was awesome and will reserve it over and over , planing our return!!!. Loved the cappuchino machine. Sabrina at the spa was awesome and friendly. The cleaning lady (Peruvian) was very nice and did an amazing job every day. They all us made us feel at home. The location is dynamite , close to all action and major points of interest. Great and safe neighborhood. Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!!! They even send me a present as they figured I had a birthday on the middle of our stay.
