Decent location
Some of the staff was great. Room was extremely small and quality was low for the price. At least the location was good.

Overall good gay straightfriendly hotel
Pros:
good location in barcelona especially for gay life ; room and bathroom OK, good bedding ; good food and service at restaurant ; good wellness spa
Cons:
front desk and housekeeping probably understaffed (long wait at check-in ; room was never made before 4 pm); dark restaurant, ineffecient seating imho
Location:
close to most everything, good public transport, plenty of inexpensive taxies to take you around town, gay life within walking distance
My overall experience at this hotel was good. There are a few points which could be improved like a brighter decoration for the restaurant. I found the hotel a bit expensive, but I admit it was high season. It's a pitty they don't have a small bar (coffee and other drinks) in the lobby, in my opinion there is lost space where they could install it. If you want to have a massage at the wellness spa, I recommend Arnau. Hotel staff friendly to very friendly. Free wi-fi can sometimes be a bit slow (you can upgrade to high speed wi-fi for a small charge).
Plenty of bars and restaurants (straight/gayfriendly) in the neighborhood at reasonable prices. No children admitted (which is a feature in the hospitality industry which is gaining popularity). The hotel is not perfect, but who is ? Would return.

A welcoming first experience
Pros:
Free Internet, Quiet
Cons:
no free breakfast
I was delighted with my stay at the Axel, Barcelona. From the moment I entered the hotel I felt taken care of in such a comfortable way. I also liked that, while the hotel markets itself as a gay hotel, they go out of their way to make certain that non gays are welcomed. As a result, I was delighted not to be in a gay ghetto, but in an idealized world where homo and hetero were at the same location and very cheerful.

This is an excellent hotel that I have already recommended to people who I met on my cruise.
Hotel Axel is a great place to stay for a few days or a longer time. I found the accommodations superb and the location convenient. The gym in the basement was great. I used it.

Hotel is great but wasn't completed yet.
I had a great time while in Barceolona. The hotel is centrally located in the gayborhood. The only downside was that the hotel was under construction while I was there. I'm sure its complete now and the noise level is better.

In the center of it all...
Pros:
Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, gym/suana/steam room
In the center of it all, Hotel Axel is conveniently located. Just a few block from the famous La Rambla street, you can't ask for a better location. It's hetero-friendly atmosphere , helpful staff and cleanliness of the hotel, makes you feel right at home (away from home!). This is the place to stay, it's quiet, clean and in a great location.
