About this place Axel Hotel Valencia

Axel Hotel Valencia is part of Axel Hotels, the Barcelona-founded chain built for gay travellers that brands itself "heterofriendly": everyone can stay, but the guest mix and staff are aimed at the LGBTQ+ crowd. It sits on Carrer de Roteros in El Carmen, the old-town quarter of Ciutat Vella, close to the Torres de Serranos. El Carmen's bars and the Turia gardens are on foot, and Valencia's gay bars cluster around Ruzafa and the old town. Reviews are strong (4.6 from about 190). Book well ahead for Fallas in March and Pride in late June. Update (2026): opened at the end of October 2025. Adults only, 72 rooms, wellness club and a rooftop skybar with pool; the long-running Café de las Horas now operates inside the hotel.

Excellent hospitality, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The spa has a few flaws: it lacks any relaxation beds, guests don't always honor reservations, and, most importantly, the rooms have open bathrooms covered only by opaque glass and a hinged door.

Lovely hotel, very well maintained and the staff are great. Alejandra in the restaurant in particular was extremely attentive, polite and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend anyone to stay if you’re looking for somewhere a short walk from the city centre in Valencia.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for about four days, and it was an incredible experience. The location in the historic center is unbeatable and very convenient for seeing everything in the city. The rooms are beautiful and clean; the whole hotel feels like a restored yet elegant mansion. We really liked that the shower had a glass wall, allowing a view of the rest of the room. The breakfast buffet is delicious and very comprehensive. We also enjoyed the spa, especially the Turkish sauna with its intense and pleasant eucalyptus scent. The rooftop terrace is great for sunbathing and cooling off in the small pool. The staff was very attentive and friendly, especially Fran at reception. We liked it so much that we booked again for next year.
