Lock in a great price for Axel Hotel Barcelona & Urban Spa- Adults Only – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

The hotel is close to shops and restaurants which is nice. They also checked us in early by upgrading our room for only a few extra dollars. The rooms are very modern and unique which I really liked. But, in the long run I think this hotel is a little expensive for what you get. I was shocked that they charged us an extra 55 euro for our two breakfast upon check out which mostly consisted of fruit, croissants and coffee.

Eileen, United States of America

Excelled in every aspect of hospitality, staff and facilities were superb, rooms were modern and clean, located 5 mins walk from pl de Cataluna, surrounded by quality restaurants, wellness spa and gym were fully equipped, highly recommended

Danielpaulpeter, Spain

Great location and a very warm welcome from the front desk staff, who were amazing our entire stay. The room had a beautiful view over the street and the bed was super comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer. Also the roof top bar was a great hangout even with rain.

“First time back to the Axel in 5 years - love returning to this hotel. Had another makeover since our last visit - always remains fresh and well kept. Upgraded to a superior room - lovely decor and amenities. The Sky bar has been revamped and the spa facilities moved into the basement. Great atmosphere in the Sky Bar at sunset having a drink before going out. For the gay quarter a fantastic location with everything in walkable distance.”

“I would not recommend this hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉I didn't like that it was dark in the room, no sun light at all, as I had the view to the inner court with too close opposite wall of the building. I could hear scrape and other sounds in the room. The floor was linoleum, very unpleasant surprise. For this price and hotel type it should be wood or fitted carpet at least. In general the corridors in the hotel are dark. I didn't like that when I was having breakfast the staff was already collecting and clearing tables and cleaning the area. This is highly not professional and rude. For this sort of pricey hotel it was big unpleasant surprise. Other guests were dealing with themselves, not open to liaise with other people.
눇I liked the professionalism of the reception staff who was first of all calm, nice and well-mannered. I liked comfortable bed and good shower in the room.
