The hotel has a great design. The roof top indoor pool is impressive as it is transparent and you can see people swimming inside. The rooms are not very big but very comfortable. It is great that there is free Internet all over the hotel. Breakfast is great and on Sundays you can have it until 12.00 Staff is generally... more

The Axel Buenos Aires is a great hotel. I had a superior room with a king sized bed that faced the outdoor pool and garden. If memory serves, it was room #202. It had two small balconies. I loved the plush towels and the unique design of the room, in particular the tub/shower. True, the room does not come equiped... more

Fantastically designed hotel in San Telmo, an interesting if somewhat over touristy neighborhood in Buenos Aires. I stayed in this hotel twice (each stay 3 nights) while passing through the truly lovely Argentine capital for work. The glass-bottomed swimming pool suspended over the atrium is incredible. Likewise the architectural structure (if clean lines, glass and water are to your taste).... more

We stayed for a total of 8 nights starting on 24 October 2008. When we first arrived we were given room 311 and the room turned out to be full of fruit flies (no pun intended) for this gay hotel. However, when we called the reception to complain about the situation, someone from housekeeping came immediately with a spray can... more

Hotel was in a less than salubrious part of town away from most gay life. Great concept and design with some very friendly and attentive staff; however a few signs off wear and tear already begining to show after only a few months of being open. Significant number of limited experience and limited english speaking staff left to run things... more

My partner and I just got back from a week in Buenos Aires where I stayed at two different hotels (the Axel in San Telmo and the other in Recoleta) to experience BA's diverse neighborhoods. Of the two, I have to say that the Axel was our favorite by far. The sleek hotel is somewhat conspicuous on Venezuela, an otherwise... more

The staff were polite, friendly and helpful, but it was Nicolas, a bellboy, who was always ready and capable to go beyond the call of duty to be charming, friendly and most helpful in many other capacities assisting us and other members of the staff at all times. To our way of thinking he was the star staff member. Thanks... more

The Axel is a gay hotel advertised as "heterofriendly". This property, only 4 months old when I was there, is both delightful and relaxing. With a staff always ready and willing to assist with tour options, sightseeing tips and restaurant reservations there was never a doubt about their meeting and exceeding my expectations. The hotel has a beautiful outdoor pool... more

All round they did a nice job with the Axel in Buenos Aires. The rest of the neighborhood could still use some rehab, but it is still a very safe area. Inside the place is wonderful. The Sky Bar has an outdoor swimming pool and tanning area. Bar and restaurant service is excellent, good food too. In general food prices... more
