Nice location Very friendly staff If I should mention something that could be better, it would be more storage for clothes in the room. And I was trying to work remotely for some hours but the WiFi was really unstable

4/10 Fair

Room had light bulb out in bathroom called it never got replaced fell once. Got charged for items we did not use from mini bar. Staff did not care that we said we did not use them. They figure they have the LGBT market so it does not matter if they give service.
HOWARD, 3-night trip

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.

Joaquin was great when checking in. They also accommodated an early checkin. The things I didn't like was the bed was very hard and didn't get a good nights rest and the walls were thin and I could here people on both sides of me

Amazing location and friendly staff. Felt very safe coming back to the hotel late at night after drinking. So many bars close by and awesome rooftop for nights you want to just stay close. Definitely will try and stay at more Axel hotels around the world

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.

Great location …comfortable but maybe just a little worn at the edges.

This was the greatest hotel. They were so nice at check-in always remembered me by name and my room number, offered to store my extra luggage. I wouldn’t have to take it to my room and they were incredible every step of the way.

Loved it
Adonis, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Great location - the service and the room was well below what we had expected and experienced at other locations in Barcelona. The rooms AC would not work - the front desk would not look unit. They offered fan - not even a change of room. There was mold in out shower caulking and the curtains were half fallen off in our room. The housekeepers were AMAZING and the breakfast staff were lovely! The bar staff on the 7th floor were very slow. It took 28 minutes to get one drink on a Tuesday night. Deplorable. We paid nearly $500 for a horrible experience. I would like a refund for our stay.
