We have stayed here before and have always enjoyed spacious room, nice staff and the central location. This time was a disappointment, since the spa area was closed. It certainly needed renovations. But I am very disappointed that we were informed about the temporary closing after the possibility of cancelling our stay had expired. This time we chose Axel for a March getaway planning to spend time in the sauna, but ended up having to change our plans and the extra money we spent on staying in this hotel was wasted.

Great location, friendly staff. The rooms and amenities need a little refurbishing though. Unfortunately no showers in the spa when I visited, and the mattress was worn out in my room.

Staff were amazing, my room had a bathtub which I always enjoy when in a hotel, location is perfect although technically not in the centre, Berlin has many districts all very accessible from this hotel. If you are gay then this hotel is perfect for many bars etc. around. The station is a 3 min walk. The rooms are super quiet and proper black out curtains if you crave darkness, nice spa on top floor also. My only negative comment is there no bar, however there are plenty around.

Very good location, friendly staff. Good room and bed. I liike their SPA facility.
However the bathroom and toilet is together. After showering, the water didn't flow into drainage, so it caused the toilet floor wet all the time.

I had read previous reviews about unwelcoming staff / unfriendly atmosphere. well I can absolutely say that couldnt be further from the truth. Everyone was so pleasant and welcoming. Always a friendly smile and polite chat from the staff.
The hotel itself is spotlessly clean and the rooms have everything you could ask for. They are also cleaned daily if needed. The facilities are also great the spa area was a perfect wind down after a long day out exploring.
10/10 would recommend, and we will be booking a break here again in the new year.

Staff was amazing and friendly with every encounter. I did have an issue with the heat and air condition which they acted fast to bring me mini fan and heater. The junior suite was nice I stayed on the 5th floor. My room was exactly under the gym and heard every weight being dropped every morning. I still think this was a great hotel to stay in.

This is my hotel for Berlin hands down! It’s in the gay district and surrounded by bars and restaurants and the metro is blocks away! Love this place and will stay again

Loved this property, we had a junior suit and it did not disappoint.
Lots of good quality restaurants within easy walking distance. It’s right on the edge of the gay area so could walk to lots of gay bars.
Easy Uber transport into heart of Berlin for museums and other cultural visits. We would stay again.
