Hotel Axel Hotel Barcelona & Urban Spa- Adults Only

Aribau, 33, Eixample, 08011 Barcelona, Spain – Excellent location – show map – Subway Access

Very central location. Restaurants, nightlife, shops, and train stops walking distance. Taxi stand just outside the door that has available cabs 24-hours (~€30 from BCN). The rooms that I had over my two stays were both comfortable, attractive, and well appointed. The breakfast that was served daily was a very nice buffet spread of selections. The Property Manager was very kind and kept me in my upgraded room type for my second stay, even though partially booked at the next level down room type.
