A hotel I will go back to.
Great location, friendly staff, a quiet room both dark enough to sleep and bright enough to read in, and very clean. We walked to some of the liveliest places in the city.

Exactly as described...
Though upgrading to a better room was an option, I chose the basic package which was sufficient for my purposes. The location is great for sightseeing, which was the purpose of my trip. The staff was helpful and certainly easy on the eyes. My trip was not oriented around gay nightlife or the spa, so I can't really grade these aspects of the facility. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to support an LGBT friendly business while visiting this beautiful city.

Short walk from hotel
When you've had enough local cuisine and dealt with enough tourist-trap-tapas, stop by Wok 2 Walk on the Ramblas adjacent to the Boqueria for a no-nonsense stir fry at a great price...

This is the perfect hotel if you are coming to Barcelona to party. The city is vibrant and alive, and Axel is right in the middle of it. The Eixample is ideal because it sits apart from the crush of tourists. The hotel itself is sexy beyond belief, but the only drawback: It sits above a train tunnel and my hotel bed shook from 6am to Midnight. Every 7-10 minutes. And not for the right reason! The staff, especially Mirasol, was exceptional.

Ehhh, ok for the price
This hotel was nice but given the price paid (about 300 USD) I think it was a little overpriced. The pool on the roof top was pretty cool. The rooms were clean and the staff was very helpful and courteous.

Great Location, Good Value
As a 'heterofriendly' hotel, it is in the heart of gay Barcelona with manageable walking distance from many shopping, dining and tourist sites. Staff is super friendly. The view from the rooftop is great, unfortunately the bar or pool was not open during the winter time.

El Mussol. Classic Catalan food. Ask for 'Concols' (grilled green onions). La Flauta tapas bar, Catalan style, is just 1-min walk away.

GREAT central location!
The hotel was recommended by friends and turned out to be more than expected. Very close to the Barcelona Sant rail station, and walking distance to everything. My room balcony doors opened up onto the main street was nice. With the doors closed I heard almost zero noise. Bathroom was large with everything I needed. Overall a great stay!

The main rail station for the Airport train, and outgoing train to Madrid is only about a mile walk and easy to find. Well worth the 15-20 minutes instead of the cost of a taxi. Save the money for a cocktail!

Great hotel and amazing spa
This hotel is close to everything, the rooms are nice and modern, and the staff was very nice. Good place for couples, gay or straight. Even though the hotel is marketed to gay people, there were just as many straight couples staying there. I will always stay at Axel when I return to Barcelona.
