Hotel Axel - a must for gay travelers in Barcelona This hotel lived up to its reputation of being the best gay hotel in the world. The staff were friendly, great rooms, the public areas were stylish and comfortable, and there was a very open, welcoming attitude to both gay and straight patrons alike. I can’t wait to check out the Buenos Aires location!

Great hotel... Very unique room setups, with excellent location. I also found the staff very nice and helpful for anything I asked, as well as speaking perfect English. Did the restaurant once for breakfast and it too was excellent. Overall for someone traveling from the USA, great hotel, at a fair price to value. Traveler's tip on nightlife A lot of great bars down the street as well as restaurants with unique styles. The subway is also only a few blocks away.

This is a great gay hotel. Overall it was very clean and ultra modern in design. There was a used under the bed so housekeeping could be improved a bit in being more thorough. The staff was all very nice. They bill themselves as hetero friendly but it was basically a gay male hotel. There was a man with his wife and daughter that I think were going to go up to the roof top to use the Jacuzzi. However, there were nude guys in the hot tub which I didn't have a problem with but certainly understand the concern of the family. I would not advise taking my wife or child to the place. Not that anything offensive was going on but it is a gay hotel. There was a sign posted that nudity was not allowed in the pool or the Jacuzzi. Overall, it is the best gay hotel I have ever been.
