Lock in a great price for Axel Hotel Barcelona & Urban Spa- Adults Only – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything. Clean, modern, pool, free gym, staff, good air con and wifi.

Jake, Australia

Great location and friendly reception staff. The gym was small but pretty decent. I loved the roof top bar and plunge pool, lovely views of the the rooftops and great place for drinks day and night, though there could be more cushions to lean back against along the benches. The price of the breakfast was reasonable considering the choice that was offered. I loved the crusty bread and the cooked breakfast options, though the bacon could be more crispy. Breakfast was served till 11am which was perfect. The house-keeping was very prompt during my stay.

Charles, United Kingdom

The hotel itself is modern and elegant, the staff attentive generally attentive and helpful. The rooms were decent and well-equipped and the breakfast had a good variety of food options.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“First of all, I like the fact that the front desk staff is fully aware of my identity when I checked in and he really waited for me in the early morning (1:30am) because my flight coming in was delayed. Still, his attitude is very welcoming. The staff in general also are very helpful especially when you asked them about directions to places and they're very patient no matter how often you ask them. The room is very nice and i like the modern look. The bed is very comfortable and i have to admit that it's hard to get out of it every morning. I like the location of the property as well which is relatively close to restaurants/cafes/metro station. I also like the fact that there are taxis on standby when needed. The breakfast area is very modern and i like the selection in the buffet. I would request though that they include the regular "white cheese" in the cheese selection because it's a staple to all the hotels I've been all over spain and I'm surprised that Axel don't have it.”

“Very excellent! I would stay in this property again when i visit Barcelona next year!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Aside from inclusion of the "white cheese" in the cheese selection of the breakfast buffet, the cocktail drinks and wine selection in the rooftop bar is not really good. I've ordered Mojito and Sangria and I could barely drink it. I hope that you could add something like a "disable platform" (sorry i don't know how to call it) in the entrance of the property because it's quite difficult to carry heavy luggages on stairways alone.
눇First of all, I like the fact that the front desk staff is fully aware of my identity when I checked in and he really waited for me in the early morning (1:30am) because my flight coming in was delayed.

“Definitely worth a visit”

눉I arrived early in the morning and my room wasn't ready. I waited over 2 hours before asking another receptionist if they had an available room yet upon which I was immediately given a room there and then. The original receptionist, who was still working, failed to let me know whilst I sat in the lobby in clear sight waiting. Otherwise, no complaints!

“Awesome!”

눉I thought the drinks on the rooftop bar were very expensive but I suppose being a hotel you get that. Also, there were no tea/coffee facilities in the room which I thought was odd considering how nice the hotel was. Rooms were cleaned rather late - 5pm or so which meant if we came back for a shower before heading out, the room wasn't done.
눇Hotel was awesome, clean and people were so nice and helpful.

Pleasant
- • Leisure trip

- • Double or Twin Room

눉I had a quite small double superior room which had no wardrobe (apparently it's a standard design solution in this hotel). Extremely thin walls, you can here neighbours and everything what is going on in the hall as well. This is especially annoying in the morning when people start leaving the hotel and cleaning staff begins their duties. Only suitable for 2-3 nights stay max.
눇Excellent location! Next to many restaurants, shops, etc. Nice roof top bar. Breakfast is also quite good.
