Axel is really well located close to Paseo de Gracia in the heart of the Eixample. As such it’s walking distance to great cafes, bars, restaurants and shops and close to many of the best tourist sites in Barcelona.

Nice property - horrible front-desk
Check-in was horrible!! Joaquin should never be allowed to work the front desk. He has no inter-personal skills (nada) and just seemed to be an angry person when dealing with guests. The property was well kept and very clean in a nice area close to restaurants and bars. It was within walking distance to Passeig De Gracia which is great for people on a shopping trip. And back to Joaquin - horrible staff person!!

Loved our time here. The property is a little dated. Could do with a renovation to bring it into the current times. Cannot fault the staff or location of the hotel, both were fantastic. Would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in a central LGBTQIA friend area and property. (Allies welcome too )

Possitives and Negatives
We recently stayed at this hotel as a couple and found the experience to be a mix of positives and negatives. Positives: The location is absolutely perfect, making it very convenient for getting around. The front office staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. Negatives: Unfortunately, the room conditions were disappointing. The bed was very old, I even felt a bedspring in the mattress, which was concerning. While the bathrooms were cleaner than the rest of the room, cleanliness overall still needs improvement. For instance, the cups in the room had coffee stains and weren’t replaced until we specifically mentioned it. The floors were also dirty, which made the room feel unkempt. Another issue was the poor sound insulation. Early in the morning, the housekeeping staff made a lot of noise in the corridor, and it was loud enough to disturb our sleep. Until these issues are addressed, we wouldn’t recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay.
