Room wifi was intermittent at best, did not work at all last day. Cocktail prices were a bit stout at rooftop bar.
Great location, excellent hotel other than wifi issues. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Great place to stay as always. Great location near shops and restaurants.

Perfect location and great place. Great staff ( Damian was very helpful ).
My only challenge was the noise in the building, I was on the 4th floor and the drilling and the banging ( construction) noise during the day was annoying
Great hotel!! Close to everything!! Amazing staff, so cordial and helpful. Would definitely stay again. Would be great if they had dressers (chest of drawers) in the rooms so you have somewhere to put your clothes. Two thumbs up!!!
This is my go to place when staying in Barcelona. Such a lovely place. I had a beautiful room with the view of the front street. Very happy with my stay
Staff great; Sky Bar Fantastic; Breakfast Excellent; Gym and Spa Fantastic; Rooms and Hallways in need of renovation but holding up ok. If I had to pick next two renovation projects, get another elevator operational and replace hallway carpets. So much good here but hard to overlook guest areas not aging well.
Nice location
Very friendly staff
If I should mention something that could be better, it would be more storage for clothes in the room. And I was trying to work remotely for some hours but the WiFi was really unstable
The Axel was lovely! I have mobility issues and they were very accommodating. My accessable room was comfortable and had handles around the toilet. The only thing that would have been nice is a non slip mat in the shower. The floor got quite slick when it was wet. Otherwise I loved my stay.
Great hotel. Staff is super nice and friendly. Room was cozy and the bar is top notch. Met so many great people. Even the bartenders are amazing. I traveled solo and 10/10 recommend.
The hotel is great and the was staff very professional. No complaints.
The only issue we had was the fact that one day they were out of towels and we had no towels in our room. Everything else was fine.
