Axel TWO Barcelona 4 Sup - Adults Only

We visited Barcelone for a tradeshow and wanted to stay close to placa espanya. We also wanted a rooftop pool, a spaceous room with city view and a minimum 4-star rating. As most hotels were fully booked due to more than 30,000 people visiting the tradeshow (Fira) great options were running out. So we booked this "adults only" hotel, which turned out to be primarily for... eh, men. My wife and I are however very tolerant and inclusive so we didn't mind and everybody were very nice to us too. I would however only recommend to stay here 1 or 2 nights, and then move on to another part of the town to make sure you see as much of the city as possible. Barcelona is big, and there are many places to explore. Walking is my preferred way to browse arround, but public transportation works well all over the city and getting to and back from the tradeshow wouldn't take much longer if you stay closer to e.g. Plaça de Catalunya. All-in-all a nice, but somewhat unexpected experience. P.S. thare a very nice places arround to get tapas, and we walked to the Sala Apolo (concert venue) for a DJ-set and visited both the Mies van der Rohe pavillion and the beautiful Miro museeum at Montjuïc.

This hotel is great, but my only complaint would be...there is a bar in the lobby at the front desk..when i asked for a cocktail the first afternoon, they told me they could only serve me a beer or wine, even though i can see hundreds of bottles of every type of liquor right there on the bar. So there is only an illusion of a bar, not a real bar. SEcondly, they claim to have a bar on the roof by the pool. And that bar is empty of everything and was never open while i was there. And looks like it hasnt been a bar for quite a while (years, maybe).. So, a bit of false advertising i would say. Other than that.. it was great.

Great location! And lovely hotel and staff.

All were v.good

Small room, not offer free water, not much ha
