comments For the second time I have been at the Axel Hotel and also this time it was o.k.. I particularly appreciated the solarium. Take the sun and relax with a good “martini” while admiring the view of the marvelous Barcelona was a unique and unforgettable experience. Very convenient the gym. For sure I’ll be back and possibly in the same room where I was last time. The staff are friendly and the mood and atmosphere very discreet and worm.

comments BF and I were both very pleased with the hotel. Check-in/out was easy. Axel is well situated for seeing the city and there are lots of restaurants nearby. Next time I would go for a room higher than 3rd floor as streets can be noisy at night.

comments The Axel far exceeded my expectations in terms of location, service, decor and facilities. It has adapted well to the niche market it caters to while maintaining the service and professionalism of the larger 5 star hotels. I won't hesitate to stay there again next time in Barcelona. I think a hotel like this would do really well in Sydney!

comments Fajny hotel w centrum Barcelony. Cena jednak zupełnie nie adekwatna do jakości. Malutkie pokoje z wyposażeniem w postaci szafki z metalowych prętów. Przydałby się już w niektórych miejscach remont i odnowienie. Smaczne śniadania.

comments Bar service was extremely slow and bar hours were hard to determine. Several times we went for a cocktail and although the bar staff was present, they were closed or setting up for something else. Room was nice. A little over priced, but we appreciate the niche the hotel is serving so it was ok. Thanks!

comments Again we had a pleasant stat in Axel Barcelona. However, we do have a few comments. 1. We did not get bathrobes in the room in spite of our request to receive them. 2. We ordered lunch on 21/6 but the Turkey was mainly raw inside. We left it to be taken back to the kitchen. Since there was a big hassle with 2 other guest from Australia that same day also having a complaint about the lunch on the same day we only reported this to the front desk. We believe the management staff did not handle this very professionally discussing this matter in front of a number of other guests. We indeed had the same experience the same day.

comments As a frequent traveler and platinum guest at Marriott and Hyatt, I can say that Axel Barcelona definitely provides the quality of a top notch boutique hotel. Check in was very professional, the decor was appropriate and stylish, and the bar staff was helpful with dining suggestions in the area. The gym had to be one of the best hotel gyms I have experienced. Unfortunately, the evening gym/spa attendant (check the days I stayed and I'm sure you'll have her details) was very protective of towel service and water after gym use. It was as if the two items were in short supply at the hotel. I would have scored the hotel a 5 if not for this service. I suggest the hotel reconsider the concept of catering to guests needs...particularly something as easy as a gym towel and a bottle water refill. Thanks!

comments My partner and I had a wonderful stay at the AXEL Hotel in Barcelona. Very close to many shops, clubs, and dining. The staff was extremely helpful and professional. However, the only downside was that there was mole in the shower (quickly cleaned by housekeeping). Nevertheless my our overall stay at the AXEL Hotel was GREAT.

comments I like this hotel since many years. Since the recent reservation it is positively enlarged by a new big bar and a spa. However, the hotel rooms are now less cosy (strange golden wallpaper, only dark curtains). But the staff is still very friendly and helpful. So I will come back again but hope that the rooms are again a little more pleasant. This hotel is for shure to be recommended.

comments vengo al hotel con frecuencia y me resulta de trato muy grato. Sin embargo, como ya he dicho en alguna otra ocasión, no es un hotel que piensa en sus clientes femeninas. La habitación que me asignaron esta vez era interior, en la parte nueva del hotel, y resultaba bastante inhóspita. Sin embrago quiero decir que el trato del personal es inmejorable. He notado que hay más ruido, la música ambiente está más alta... y eso es un "punto menos" en la confortabilidad del hotel.
Hotel Response:

Estimada Srta. Estévez, Lamento mucho que no le asignaran una habitación con vistas exterior calle. Normalmente, la asignación de habitaciones va relacionada con el precio o tarifa de reserva que están pagando y la habitación que han requerido en la reserva. De todas formas, en su próxima visita, si lo desea y hay disponibilidad le podremos hacer un upgrade de habitación por ser clienta repetitiva. Finalmente, explicarle que nosotros no hacemos diferencias entre sexos, religiones u orientaciones sexuales, siempre y cuando tengan una convivencia de respeto. Tal y como usted, podrá ver que la música esta alta en el bar musical The Ground Bar los jueves espectáculo de drag queens Shimai Show, Viernes fiesta para público Lésbico y sábado para público gay y heterosexual. Gracias Atentamente, Borja Juliá General Manager Axel Hotel Barcelona

comments We were very disappointed in two changes: previously we had a room in the older part of the hotel. The new room was tiny, with hideous cheap-looking wallpaper, albeit furnished with quite cool designer furniture. The room looked into an inner courtyard. More disappointing was the new bar: previously there was a bar open to the reception area / on the street corner. it was airy and cool. the new bar is a depressing tacky cave in ugly pink and black and seemingly very few customers. We wouldn't come again unless in Summer when the rooftop bar is open and we would never again stay in the Standard room. There are so many nice hotels in Barcelona; the Axel isn't cheap and top be honest, being 'hetero friendly' is increasingly irrelevant. So the Axel isn't for us any more.
Hotel Response:

Dear Mr. Templeton, Thank you to write about us. About your complaint, I understand you did not like the new bar and the rooms, because that is your opinion and your taste, but it is our choice of design and there is other guest reviews which like our design, furniture, wall paper and the new area The Ground Bar. Anyway, thank you for staying with us and hope you change your mind and we can have you again with us during summer time. Sincerely, Borja Juliá General Manager Axel Hotel Barcelona & Urban Spa
