I had some clothes that suspiciously went missing at this property. The first day I had a weird housekeeping visit to deliver a luggage stand to my room which already had one. I’m starting to think this was not some accident and potentially some excuse to get into my room while I hopefully was not there.

Absolutely recommend!

Absolutely coming back! I’ve heard about it for years and it was gay-mazing. The pool was so fun all afternoon and I stayed on a Monday! Room was fantastic, it’s in the heart of the gayborhood so for anyone not extremely familiar you’ll be able to navigate easily. They gave me a free room upgrade too!

300 euros for a night and you get a bathroom like this! Sadly I found this hotel to be very tired on all areas, friends said I was unlucky to have a ‘non refurbed room’ but it didn’t come with a non refurbed price tag ! A few other things to mention. Terribly slow service in the bar from a team who looked totally bored to be there. In fact the whole attitude of the staff was lacking. Watch out for the elevators, you’ll wait a while in busy times. Visit the roof terrace for amazing views but again slow service and a really sad bar area. There are good points. The hotel could not be better located. If you want to explore the city it is perfect. Actually that is the only good point. Always wanted to stay here, total dissapointment.

LGBTQ+ appreciated

Overall, this was a good hotel in a great location. As a gay, couple, it is so nice to have a welcoming place. The staff was friendly and helpful. We appreciated that breakfast was included. The man at breakfast was especially friendly and helpful. As usual, as Americans, we have found the beds to be hard and very uncomfortable, but that has been a common complaint at every place we've stayed. Overall, it was a good experience.

No A/C..

I stayed at AXELE Hotel Barcelona and had a very disappointing first night. The air conditioner in my room didn’t work, and although I informed the staff, they couldn’t fix it or offer me another room — they said there were no rooms available. All I got was a polite “I’m sorry,” even though I paid for a room that included air conditioning. It was 37°C in Barcelona that night, and I couldn’t sleep at all — I was soaked in sweat. The staff were friendly, but being nice doesn’t change the fact that I didn’t get what I paid for. What made it worse is that they didn’t offer me anything in return — no breakfast, no drink, not even a small gesture to make up for the inconvenience. For a hotel in the middle of summer, this kind of service is unacceptable.

Party Central Poor Accommodation

Great location, central for everything and close to bars and entertainment with the hotel having a good bar also and mainly friendly clientele. The quality of the accommodation however is poor, room we stayed in was very run down and not cleaned well. The hotel is not value for money but a a good time can be had here.

The hotel is in a great area. However the air conditioning was not working. There were many other guests complaining about he same issue. The WIFI was a joke so to h.
