MassageAdam Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Axel Hotel. they have a nice spa in the basement as well, that can get pretty cruise. + Intosmoothmuscles, + Vegas_Millennial and JMan 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIberia Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 The Axels are more expensive and has smaller rooms compared to equivalent hotels, but it is adults only, 18+ themed and it has what is considered one of the best gay bars in the world (which you cant go to without being a guest iirc). Really any hotel in Eixample is best: that area is colloquially known as "Gayxample," and is centrally located from all the touristy stuff, and the hustler sauna would be within walking distance. The only things that will require drives are the beach, the airport and some of the famous architecture. I'd go with whatever hotel is the best deal with the best rating at the booking dates based on online reviews. There are so many hotels in the area it's hard to single one out, and they're all pretty similar. Just note that most will card any rentboy you bring back.

MscleLovr Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 @AndreG has described it well. The small point I’d add is that Eixample is into two parts. It’s bisected by the Paseo de Gracia and you want to be in the Left part, ie West of the Paseo, to be close to the gay area and the sauna mentioned. Ideally you want a nice hotel in Eixample Left (or Esquerra de l’Eixample in Catalan) and above the Gran Via but below Diagonal. IMO Axel is rather basic. It was fine 20 years ago when gay hotels were rare. But in truth, you’ll be fine @JMan in any good BCN hotel as the city is very gay-friendly. Remember hotel receptionists have seen it all before 😉 Before I bought an apartment when I was a regular visitor to BCN, I stayed in a variety of hotels. I was always with a younger male companion and we were always treated well. Sometimes we were fussed over because the hotel wanted to ensure a gay male couple felt well-treated. + Lucky, CHIberia and JMan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ BenjaminNicholas Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 You have actual decent hotels in Barcelona. There's no reason to waste money at an Axel. Cotton House. Mandarin Oriental. Seventy Barcelona. Casa Bonay. The Wittmore. agentgemini and CHIberia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handiacefailure Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I've only been to Barcelona once and we stayed at a best western (friend didn't want to stay at the Axel) Wish we would have stayed there, we went to the bar and think it's gay men only and the bar was pretty nice and the hotel looked nice as well. We were there in November but were told the pool is a lot of fun in season. + Vegas_Millennial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small correction on my post: you CAN visit the bar at the original Axel, which is considered a must-go, even if you are NOT staying there. As far as the other Axel (TWO), I'm not familiar with anything worth visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassageAdam Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I've stayed at Axel TWO, the only reason to stay there is that it's a lot cheaper than Axel. It is closer to Sauna Thermas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryinny Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 For those who know Barcelona, is there a rentmasseur type site to find masseurs? Thank you, Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young11 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 there are many, telechapero is a good one for escorts. https://www.mileroticos.com/chaperos/barcelona/ is also good. If you are willing to go lower, pasion.com is good too, mostly less known escorts and masseurs Harryinny and CHIberia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the site looks exactly the same, lol. I remember it was well-regarded back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfstoria Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hi. I reserved in the Two AXel. And one called SoHo ( recommended by a friend) any suggestions which one would be better if you are more into hiring that playing with other guests? TWO AXEl looks a bit of a cruising, nothing bad, But for younger fellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SWFL44 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Villa Emilia is another great choice near Thermas which is my favorite in that area Two Hotel and SoHo are very similar in quality and you won't be dissapointed. SoHo would be my choice of the two though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I likevyhe young and masculine so I prefer to treat them. I have the already booked Soho for the week if my birthday I was surprised about the prices for tickets/hotel as close as going to Mtrl - I usually spend my birthday with a regular. But now that he may no be around for that tme, because his high demand. I changed August to Montreal and November for Barcelona 😀 Edited July 3, 2022 by Alfstoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooler temps for the city and not quite as touristy. My birthday is in November and I'm normally there so you'll have a great time I'm sure.. Plenty of what you are looking for to be had... Enjoy!

+ azdr0710 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 can't contribute (stayed in an airbnb in Poble Sec during my 2016 visit to BCN), but wanted to add a humorous aside that I was impressed that the directional signs at the airport were all in Catalan......then English................THEN Spanish....... the loud 10pm outdoor pots-and-pans rattling one evening was also cool......Solidaritat Catalana per la Independència great place.....

I've thought that the Euro was over-valued for many years. I think parity with the dollar is about right where it should be. I also see a trip to Europe in my future later in the year. BTW the British pound has also lost a lot of value recently which makes the UK cheaper for Americans. Alfstoria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been falling since Brexit fiasco. I wonder if that's curtailed some British tourism and opened up vacancies ?
