What makes the hotel stand out

Axel sees itself as a “heterofriendly” hotel brand for the LGBTQ+ community. Travel Gay listed the hotel among the top 5 most-booked Valencia hotels in 2025, and Two Bad Tourists calls Axel the world’s largest gay hotel chain. The crowd is mixed queer and the atmosphere relaxed.

Rooms and amenities

The rooms combine modern design with old stone and wooden beams, but are rather small. The hotel has a wellness club with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, a fitness area, a roof terrace with a small pool and the Café de las Horas. Criticism concerns cramped bathrooms with frosted glass instead of a door.
