Axel TWO Barcelona keeps things calm and connected, with an intimate, adults-only vibe in Eixample’s Gayxample. The open-to-the-street lobby pairs with a barception for an easy arrival drink, and mornings start with a daily buffet breakfast before heading out. On warm days, the rooftop Skybar adds a pool, loungers, and a bold pink splash.

I stayed at Axel Two for about 7 days and I must say the staff was amazing and so friendly and accommodating. The room was so cute an very well maintained. The breakfast was good an even had mimosas one morning. I would definitely stay here again an will recommend this hotel to others. Great hotel!
Rooms cleaning everyday, comfortable bed, pretty good breakfast for 18 euro.
Great location, walk distance to all cool bars and restaurants.
The bar at the pool was close due end of season, but it makes no sense because hotel was booked.
Hotel is located a bit of a walk to "tourist" area, but if you want something a bit further and quieter and enjoy not being in the heart of a touristy area, this is a great option. Breakfast was great to start the day, staff were wonderful! The rooftop bar is not open in slow season, you can always bring your own. We walked to the other Axel in the evening for the rooftop bar. The other Axel is a bit closer to more touristy attractions and has the great rooftop bar area open to the public. Depends on your own preference as to which one to choose.

Liked: Staff & service
I expected the hotel to be nicer, so I’m giving it three stars. My first-floor room faced a courtyard park that’s open to the neighborhood. I couldn’t keep the drapes open without losing privacy, and during the day I could hear kids kicking a soccer ball around and people taking their dogs out. The park closes at night, so the noise didn’t disturb my sleep.
Receptionist was awesome. Made us feel very welcome and told us about cool places nearby. The hotel is heterosexual-friendly, and we saw many straight couples there too. Everyone was polite, respectful and kind though.
Loved staying at The Axle 2 Hotel, great staff, super friendly & helpful, great hotel & pool. We were a bit it early in the season so the roof top pool was a plus but not enough umbrellas for the early heat we were experiencing, also the halls had a particular smell they should address, over all a great stay, conveniently located to all the sites of Barcelona , extremely gay friendly hotel, will absolutely stay again!
The hotel location is very convenient and the facilities are nice and clean. The staff was welcoming and very helpful and friendly. It’s a little bit pricey but it’s Barcelona in the summer. They have a nice roof deck as well if you want to enjoy that.
I was surprised at how queer positive it was. Thought it was just an adult’s only hotel. It’s awesome that places like that exist. The staff were super nice and helpful, the pool was nice and I enjoyed the sauna. Had the breakfast once and it was really good and worth getting. Met people from around the world and had a wonderful time. Additionally it’s close to the metro and from there you can get to most places in the city
The staff were fantastic, and even though my spanish was not great, they were very accomodating. My wife and I are a queer couple and were looking for a place in Barcelona, and this was a good choice. They were very respectful towards us and the guy at reception was super friendly and even spoke a little Finnish. Although we are a queer couple, we saw a lot of straight hotel guests staying there, and it was a very inclusive place and a fun environment. We will be coming back again soon!
I stayed in a city view room with a big window that opened towards the street. The bathroom toilet has a frosted swing door and shower has a clear glass swing door. Not private, just fyi if you’re going with a partner or other. AC was cold, but could have been colder. Rooftop pool and steam room were great!
Close to markets, restaurants and metro.
