to get started.

The rooftop bar was really amazing!! The staff were so super friendly - even when we left our luggage with them from 12:00pm till we left for our flight (which was quite late the evening). Loved the 12:00 check-out

John, United States of America

Nice upscale modern hotel. Staff very friendly and rooms very comfortable. Loved the rooftop pool and bar!

Ricky, United States of America

Lots of activities (drinks on the roof top bar, show) and a plentiful breakfast buffet (14€). Staff friendly - got a free room upgrade (not clear what this added as the room was not huge). Nice pool deck

Sandra, Spain

The location of the hotel is supurb. 5 minutes walk from 2 different Metro lines, great breakfast salon around the corner, multiple nice little restaurants in the direct neighbourhood. 10 minutes walk from Plaza de la Catalunia and the Ramblas. Very clean hotel, soundproof windows, very friendly staff. Great rooftopbar.

Arnaud, Netherlands

Location is superb. Staff are friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Room was a good size. Bed super comfy. Basically a wonderful experience.

“Staying in Gayxample”

눉Very little storage space - not an issue for me as a solo traveller, but no where really to store stuff. Some guests looked a bit out of place - I assume Axel is marketing itself as more mainstream but it might put gay guys off
눇Lots of activities (drinks on the roof top bar, show) and a plentiful breakfast buffet (14€). Staff friendly - got a free room upgrade (not clear what this added as the room was not huge). Nice pool deck

“Overpriced”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Premium Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Overpriced, room too small, no proper wardrobe to fit clothes. Really poor lighting in the bathroom. No chance to dine at the restaurant as we were never told or advise to book a table in advance. Never told at reception lift worked with room-key. No bath which there should be as we paid 350€ a night. It was a nightmare as I had to bring the card I booked the room with which wasn't specified anywhere - it Was utterly hassling. They were quite rude over the phone dealing with this matter too.
눇The location, some of the staff was friendly.

눉Night time emergency and bathroom lighting not conducive for a goods night sleep! Room felt a little tired and certainly didn't feel 'premium' when compared to other standard rooms at a similar price
눇Bed comfortable and location

눉One of the rooms booked had 2 sky bar bills charged to the room on one evening, we all used cash throughout the holiday and charged nothing to the room at any point, clearly the bar staff do not ask for the room ID card when charging otherwise this could have been avoided, this was embarrassing when checking out and not a pleasant way to remember the weekend.
눇Rooms very good, clean, beds great. Sky bar excellent.

눉The "Urban spa" is misleading. The spa is not part of the hotel and you must pay 10 Euros to use the steam and sauna rooms. You have access if you purchase a massage. Hotel guests should receive complimentary spa entrance. Especially at a rate of over $250 a night.
눇Great location!

눉One little thing, they charge me for a bottle of water twice, when I did pay at the reception before I left. I guess they didn't put it out in the system, apart of that all very very good.
눇Amazing staff and the room was perfect, everything in place with a view❤️ we enjoyed it very much. Thanks to the staff for the service.
