Axel Hotel Barcelona & Urban Spa - Adults Only

le sauna, le jacuzzi sur le toit et le petit dèj correct

le décor, la chambre, le public. La piscine était en hors service alors que j'avais choisi cet hotel notamment pour cela.

sa situation

le bruit et la propreté au regard de sa catégorie

Le sanitaire des chambres non renovées est vétuste et ne correspond pas au standard d'un 4 étoiles.Certaines chambres coté cour sont obscures et donnent directement sur un mur .Ne pas choisir cet hotel si on est claustrophobe.

L'accueil du personnel très sympa. Très bon petit déjeuner servi jusqu'à midi le week end. Le bar est agréable pour boire un verre le soir.

La propreté de la chambre: dès le premier jour de notre séjour des moutons de poussière recouvraient le sol. Aucun rangement dans la salle de bain. Pas de connexion internet possible dans la chambre pour son propre ordinateur.

hotel should be mostly for gays. There were many straight couples, guess they did not know they arrived in a gay hotel. looks like too many straights for the gay community, to many gays for the straight guests. I am gay but this time the mix was not good. Check in lasted forever, they write you a guest pass by hand, it takes forever... worst check in in my life. Hotel was not able to provide service to print out my online boarding pass.. what a shame. I did not feel anything of the original gay concept, I felt they just sold out the hotel to anybody just to make money ( whats ok), but this was not my axel hotel from some years ago. It was just a very busy hotel and not sure if the value for the hotel was very good this time. Just my opinion.

Good location in the middle of the eclectic pulse of Barcelona, a matter-of-fact, most of city's buzz is right in the hotel lobby bar.

Design trying to hard, instead could use a good hard cleaning.

AIt's a gay hotel but 'hetero friendly' me and my wife stayed with a group of friends and didn't feel anything strange. Friendly staff, great location, nice rooms and good value for money.

One of the reasons to chose it was the spa, but it cant be called a spa. 1 Sauna, 1 steam bath and teh pool and jakuzzi were not functional, some dirty stagnant water in the pool and we didn't use the spa after first trial. Also the minibar was nnot filled regularly and the room was not cleaned properly.
