4.5 star ratingExcellent!10 September 2011
3.5 star ratingSuperb free room upgrade. WiFi is now free in room.Once again the Axel wrote a circular just before we arrived offering me prices lower than I had paid for my stay when we booked some months ago. This has now happened to me both booking directly with the hotel and through agencies and is very annoying. Reception was very slow and always seemed to have a queue. The room was the only thing I now like about the hotel. In the years we have been coming the Axel has gone from being essentially a gay hotel to a mixed one and has removed the included facilities expected of the gay market. The spa facilities are now behind a pay wall and in the basement with external membership access from the street. The breakfast is very overpriced and the hot items are inedible - the room is often cold and draughty because of the street access next to it. The bar prices are very high and the staff indifferent. Music is played too loudly in public areas and in particular in the bar - when the latter is virtually empty. Friends in Barcelona have pointed out you can stay in the best mainstream hotels in the city for the same price as the no longer gay-specialist Axel.Gaudí fans28 November 2011
5.0 star ratingStaff were very helpful. The room was clean, airy, exactly what I'd expected. The hotel has been improved since I was last there, with a better roof terrace and the gym having a dedicated facility downstairs.postmortes27 April 2012
