Great hotel, on a great location with very friendly staff. Nice room, nicely decorated, just a little small and to bad there was constructtion works on the other site of the window, but hey, it's Barcelona, there is always work to do...I would surely recommend this hotel to everybody who travels to Barcelona. 10 minutes walk from Catalunya square and... more

1/1 found this review helpful

I was completely won over by Axel. Right from the moment my companion and I sauntered through the glass doors of the main entrance-which are enclosed in a beautifully appointed façade, to the time we regrettably had to say our farewells, we were whisked away into a world of complete bliss at the hands of our hosts. The interior is... more

Hotel Axel is centrally located, a few blocks from a metro station, walkable (albiet a little long 15-20 minutes) to la rablas and passeig de gracia (restaurants and casa mila). It is near the gay bars and has a good coffee shop across the street. The staff is amazingly pleasant and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and modern. There is... more

Staying in Barcelona a few days as guests of a Film Festival couldn't have been more easy, pleasant, relaxing, than at the Axel Hotel; friendly atmosphere, nice people to have as an hotel's staff. Thanks again, Ricardo and colleagues! more

We had a superb stay at Hotel Axel. It is by far the nicest gay accommodation we've stayed in. All the staff were so friendly and took plenty of time and trouble with us. Good facilities and food; really interesting and smart decor. Some of the bits and bobs (like need a bit of TLC to bring them properly to... more

Great Time!

Third visit to Barcelona but first time I stayed in that part of town. Everything is walking distance. Loved the staff, rooms were modern and clean, be it sparsely furnished but that's fine with me. Will definitely return to Axel on any future trip to Barcelona and eager to check out there other locations. Wifi was available for a very... more

I was wondering how could be this hotel so I booked only one night to test. I must say that I've found a very good place in town with good staff, friendly attention and guests were also willing to speak and share conversation. Definitively, I will come back more

We were in Spain for 10 days and this was my favorite hotel. The staff at the front desk was very kind and accommodating; my only critique would be that they didn't seem to have many recommendations for restaurants in the area. One of the guys recommended 2 places (with so many great eateries in Barcelona this seems low), the... more
