Best of Barcelona!
Our stay at the Hotel Axel was wonderful. Terrific room with balcony, top-notch staff, great location and a New Year’s celebration that topped our week . All of the front desk staff members were professional, but Ricardo gave above-and- beyond service with restaurant recommendations, ticket inquiries for the opera, etc., etc. Our New Year’s host, Patricia was most gracious, the food was perfect, and her staff truly gave their all. We can’t wait to stay there again and look forward to the renovations that are planned.

Good hotel, great location, but some issues
Bedding problem: top sheet enclosed a thick, heavy comforter (a configuration I have never seen in any hotel) with a weight more appropriate for Moscow in winter than Barcelona. Unfortunately, it was necessary to crank up the air conditioning full blast. If they must wrap the comforter in a sheet, they should provide another top sheet and/or a lighter-weight blanket. Given that the culture in Barcelona has one eating dinner at 10:00 p.m. or later, and going out at midnight or later, it would be nice if the second set of heavier drapes actually blocked out the light. In November of 2009, it was not really possible to sleep past 9:00 - 9:30 am because of major demolition/construction on the roof that reverberated throughout the building. Given the late night lifestyle of the local culture and many guests who like to stay out late at night, being awakened by a jackhammer at 9:00 a.m. was not conducive to getting adequate sleep. The management should not allow construction work to begin earlier than at least 10:00 am. (Be forewarned, the construction appears as though it will be ongoing for at least several months or longer.)
