Winner of TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice 2012 and very very deserving!
Axel Hotel is located at this beautiful building at the middle junction of Aribau Street. This street is known for gay hotels but everyone is welcome here as the hotel is Hetero-Friendly ;) No matter what your sexual orientation, you actually do get to enjoy this good hotel.
The location of the hotel was quite convenient as the airport shuttle stop is about 3-5 minutes away from the hotel. However, please remember that because most roads are one-way in Barcelona, you need to go to a different place to take the airport shuttle back to the airport.
I loved that there was a clinic, coffee house and convenience store right across the hotel entrance. There was also a cozy little Japanese Restaurant there. The location where the airport shuttle stops is also near the metro @ subway station.
The room was large, had 2 balconies - one with stained glass and another modernly decorated, which I absolutely loved. There wasn't much of a view from our room but I was still happy. The bed was comfy and it faced the electric powered Jacuzzi! The bathroom had a "his and hers" sink with all the little vanity items you may need.
One extremely unique quality about the room that I wanted was that the room and the Jacuzzi is separated by a glass. So basically, you can soak in the massaging bathtub and watch TV. If you are planning a honeymoon, this is the room to get. I did not have a look at the Suites but since this room was so fabulous, I can only imagine that the Suites are better. But, this room is very very satisfactory!
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who would want to stay in Barcelona. The positive thing about the hotel is that it's not directly at the city so it's not that busy and noisy but it is walking distance. It can get a bit lonely at night to walk out but if you are not alone, it's fine.
