I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The main positive aspect was the good behaviour of the staff and especially the receptionists Alicia and Nereido (unfortunately I may mispronounce her name) who did the check-in and check-out. They were very friendly, polite and helpful. Furthermore, we were upgraded to a better room for free, which was a great deal.Moreover, the price was totally affordable concerning the quality. In addition to the tidy room, we used the sauna and jacuzzi, which were both clean, cozy, and free. There is a train station only 2 minutes away, and it is at the most a 30-minute ride to the downtown area.The only problem was that I could not find any big supermarket nearby but there is a bakery right next to the hotel, which serves delicious coffee, croissant and other breakfast items If you do not want to use the hotel breakfast.All and all, we had a memorable stay at the hotel and I definitely suggest it.Shaun Taylor

Nereida, Bob, Jorge and team were amazing.So helpful, nothing was too much trouble.We were upgraded to a junior suite and we had our own balcony.The breakfast was great and the service and welcome was amazing. 1 man doing breakfast and one chef and the food was hot and plenty availability.I know we had a few minor issues, but resolved asap.We asked for extra shower creams and sugars, all brought to our room.Nereida helped us set up the he smart TV, so able to watch our Netflix.Location great and 15 mins walk to main area.Overall a great visitThanks allShaun and TomChaz Antonelli

Extremely overpriced for what you get.For a "hetero friendly" hotel, it's way too hetero friendly. This is supposed to be a gay men's hotel, but we saw straight couples wearing suits in the sauna who were shocked that they were naked gay men there.Also, upon registration, we witnessed someone checking out what appeared to be a minor female (possibly their daughter)? In any case, we were assured that all Axel properties are for adults only. This is a concerning factor.I really enjoyed the concept of having a hotel that was designed and operated for ADULT GAY MEN, and even though it was much more expensive than other nearby hotels. Moreover, most of the rooms are very small and tired (our room had significant water damage to both the furniture and the flooring).As a non-smoker, I was thoroughly disappointed with the stench of cigarette tobacco smoke in our room coming from either directly under us at the entrance to THE hotel or from other people's rooms It was so strong. It smelled as if there was a smoker in our room..Due to the sheer number of heterosexual couples I saw, I probably won't be back again to any of the properties. There are other alternatives that are for gay men only.Before you think I'm "Karrening", I've stayed at Axel & Axel 2 in Berlin, Axle 2 in Barcelona and Axel in Maspalomas -- so I have checked out several of their properties and have had similar experiences in each.I think the reason why we're seeing more and more straight couples is because I've noticed they're now making reservations on Orbit, booking.com, and Expedia. Mostly bargain travellers. Get rooms there and just buy whatever is cheapest. Not looking at the description of the property.I must admit it was with a bit of glee when about 6 men came out of the steam room naked and a female and her boyfriend in the hot tub screamed in shock- they should have read what the hotel was all about.Paul Entwistle

Check your credit card bill!The bad - Unfortunately what would have been a five star review, reduced to a four star review. The day after checkout there was a 7€ charge from the hotel on our credit card statement. No indication of what it was. Turned out to be a bottle of wine from the minibar that we hadn't consumed, no receipt or bill for this at checkout or in a follow-up email, just straight off the card. It's a small amount and was reversed by the hotel on contact with an apology and commentary that you authorise extra charges to your card at check-in and mistakes happen.The good - great location next to bars, restaurants, a corner store (so you can avoid the minibar!) and two metro lines.Reception staff friendly, room cleaned everyday to a high standard and all the little extras in the room replenished.Room very modern with a lovely bathroom, we had a room facing the road and had no issues with noise.Great jacuzzi and spa area. Didn't try the breakfast as we where out late enjoying the Berlin nightlife!Christina Igboanugo

The hotel was great! We made a small mistake when making the booking, but support was immediately offered to clarify things, the boy at the secretary's office was very friendly and accommodating, the rooms were clean and pleasant to stay in, thank you Axel! We'd love to come back 🙂atef Kono

The hotel is calm, clean, the Junior suite is spacious and the balcony is wonderful, but I was hoping for a man in reception, despite the professionalism of the two ladies Elissa and the other, but I would have preferred to deal with a man, being a gay and an individual traveller. I wished that there were some other services inside the hotel or through it, especially for travellers from outside the European Union, such as the presence of a club or a store, or even providing concierge support.Liam Hackett

By far the best part of this hotel was the staff. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful despite my very limited German! Big thank you to Jorge and Bob who were very supportive at all times.The bed was super comfortable, I fell asleep very quickly after a long day of travel. The only downfall of the room was the shower door did not seal correctly and we had to put additional towels on the floor to stop the water spreading. However the bathroom floor was heated which was a lovely surprise.The sauna etc was lovely although the hot tub only had 2 works jets and wasn't hot enough.If I was coming back to Berlin I would stay once again, the location was great as I don't like to stay too close to the heart of the city and it only takes 15 minutes on the underground which is basically on the front door step of the hotel.Jason Downey

Overall, it is a very comfortable hotel with plenty of space and comfort. Indoor spa area is nice with a decent workout room. Breakfast available everyday in the mornings although you will have to wake up fairly early to get it.Unfortunately this nice hotel tends to draw the attention of people that can make your stay here not as pleasant as it could be. This hotel is non smoking hotel, and unfortunately for you, if someone decides to smoke in the room, you will be alerted with a loud alarm throughout the hotel telling you to exit the building and wait outside where police and firefighters will enter the building and do a sweep. This process can take anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes and can happen at any hour of the day or night. This has happened to me twice during my stay, and was pretty irritating when you are trying to sleep or just ordered food to eat.Blanka Hladikova

I stayed there for a night and it was great. The location is near U-station.The room was large and confortable, the beds great. We could play music in the bathroom from the "mirror" radio. We made tea and coffee.The staff was very nice and helpful. I would like to return.grace kamau
