Axel TWO Barcelona Adults Only

I only stayed at Axel TWO for one night, but I enjoyed my stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms have an open floor plan, so DO NOT stay here if you are sharing a room with family or friends, unless you want them to see you in your full glory. My wife and I had no problem with the design of the room, and found it intimate and charming. The hotel is hetero-friendly, which I didn't know prior to booking, just from the simply fact that I didn't read😁 but I had no problem with it, and loved ❤️❤️❤️ My only issue was being on the ground level floor. No view. But a personal preference won't take away from the overall experience.

There is much to recommend this hotel and I’ll happily stay here again. A few small changes would make this a perfect spot. Check in easy, if quite time-consuming. Lovely rooms with super comfortable beds and black out curtains. My room smelled a bit of stale cigarette smoke, though it didn’t bother me particularly. WiFi is normally very fast but sometimes is “temporarily unavailable”. Gym is small and basic and missing a few weights and a mirror- but otherwise functional. Big negative was the lack of almost any shade on the roof. There is one parasol which provides shade for two sun loungers. Anywhere else and you’re sizzling in the full Catalonian sun. And the only place to retreat from the sun is your hotel room - so please acquire another parasol or two! The plastic grass is also scorching in the heat. It would be so great if hotels didn’t use this tacky stuff. The pool area generally could do with a bit of TLC. I paid a very reasonable rate in August and found the location to be spot on. So I hope to come back (and experience just a little occasional shade on the roof).

Great hotel, very central. The staff is very welcoming, the rooms are spacious and quiet. The rooftop has a pool, which you can enjoy and meet new people. No children is definitely a plus.
