I had a wonderful stay during my birthday weekend, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Barcelona's gay district. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even managing to upgrade my room unexpectedly to one with a balcony. However, some noise from the nightlife was evident in my room, which might be an issue for light sleepers.

Rooms

My room was clean and comfortable, but facing the street meant I heard noise from revelers at night. I recommend asking for a quieter room if you're sensitive to sound.

The location in Eixample was fantastic, surrounded by bars, restaurants, and just a short walk from major attractions. It felt lively but still had its quieter spots.

Breakfast was decent but not really good. I think it could have offered more variety for the price. The rooftop bar, however, had great cocktails and stunning views.

Facilities

The rooftop pool and bar were highlights during my stay, offering excellent views and a perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. However, I did miss access to the spa without an additional charge.

I had an really good stay at Axel Hotel Barcelona where the friendly staff really made a difference! The central location is perfect for exploring the vibrant gay nightlife and nearby attractions.

Though the breakfast was decent, I felt it wasn't quite worth the price of 14 euros. I would have preferred more options during the buffet.

My stay at the Axel Hotel Barcelona was enjoyable overall, with a fantastic central location and friendly staff. The cleanliness and stylish decor of the rooms made for a comfortable experience, although I was slightly disappointed with the missing amenities like the Jacuzzi. However, the rooftop bar and pool area were a highlight and well worth experiencing. I appreciated the attention from the staff, especially Oreal, who made my husband's birthday special with thoughtful surprises.

The rooftop pool and bar were fantastic, but I was disappointed that the Jacuzzi was out of order during my visit. The gym was well-equipped but was also accessible to the public.

Overall, I appreciated my stay at Axel Hotel Barcelona - Adults Only, with its friendly staff and great location in the city's vibrant gay district. The rooftop bar was a highlight, offering stunning views and a lively atmosphere. However, I did experience some drawbacks, including limited storage in my room and noise from neighbors that disrupted my sleep.

Rooms

7.0

The room had a reasonable size for a city hotel, but the lack of storage, especially in the bathroom, was disappointing. I found the bed's comfort to be an issue as well, with the mattress being quite hard. Also, the interior layout made it easy to bump into the mounted TV, and the lack of hooks for towels was frustrating.

Service

8.0

The staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help, particularly during check-in and in the restaurant. I was impressed by the attentiveness of the breakfast team, who ensured a good start to my day. However, my initial greeting at check-in wasn't as warm as I had hoped.

The rooftop bar and spa were standout features, adding a lovely touch to my stay. The gym was well-equipped, but crowded at times. Overall, the amenities contributed positively to my experience, despite a need for improved privacy at times.
