Just back from 4 nights at the Axel and overall it was a good experience. The 2nd floor room suffered from street noise and deliveries from 8am - but I guess that comes with staying in the middle of the City. Only one negative comment which was the state of the ironing board provided - it really was ready for... More

My friends and I chose this hotel because the Room pictures on website is amazing. BUT!!! The real room is like 1 star motel room!! It's old, dirty, and everything seems cheap. The shower head is loosen, and made my room flood!!! Don't believe everything on their website, the just try to make money on gay people.

Stayed here last October for my birthday and it was wonderful. Great location, rooms are nice and comfortable and mine had a great view....sorry cant remember the exact room but overlooked the front of the property. Rooftop pool and bar were ok but the spa is not to be missed!!! This hotel is "gay" without being too pretentious. Good deal... More

This overall is a good choice. Location is excellent- quiet location and lots of Lovely local restaurants to choose from. Daniel in reception was delightful, attentive and great customer service. The room is fine - basic and to the point- and the roof top bar a nice to have. My only comment overall is to say that gay hotel- should... More

We stayed here June 7 to June 10, 2013. Enjoyed the vibe and welcoming feeling here. Daniel on the front desk is a credit to this hotel. Suite701 was awesome, a few minor maintenance issues, but nothing to put you off. Location is great. Will be talking about this visit to our friends in Sydney, with great enthusiasm!

Very good hotel in Barca, close to everything, great service, great rooms, heterofrindly! Great spa and excellent opportunities for good massage. Nice bar and pool on rooftop. There are opportunities to meet new friends and meet a city that is hot and delicious. Close to great bars and great shopping. Take a taxi to the beach and enjoy great people,... More

First trip to Barcelona and many of my gay friends recommended the Axel. I read many of the reviews posted here and decided I would give it a try. So, what I'd say is it all depends on what you are looking for...and if it is a good match for your expectations. This part of the city was idyllic...I absolutely... More

Overall this was not a bad place to stay. I had a corner room where the windows opened to the street below and there was some slight traffic noise but it was more amusing than annoying. The room was small but served its purpose as a place to sleep and shower. It was not overly decorated but done just enough... More

Excellent Stay and great service, I love Barcelona and since I discovered this hotel still like more, I declare myself a fan. The rooms are excellent quality and feature of the hotel staff were lovely and very professional with his work. I'm looking to return soon ....
