The stay here was fine, the property is starting to show its age, and the mattresses are hard as a rock, but the staff are lovely and very helpful. Tip if you book a more expensive room such as a junior suite - request a high floor. I was on level 2 and had constant traffic noise, could hear the conversations of people on the street at all hours of the night, and at times could smell cigarette smoke coming up from street level.

Close to Everything
Excellent place to stay. My room and bath were immaculate. The hotel offers a good breakfast from a menu, and is the evening the restaurant features Georgian (Caucasian) cuisine. It is within walking distance from Nollendorf Platz, and is a block away from the Wittenbergplatz U-bahn station which makes it easy to go anywhere and do anything in Berlin.

I chose the hotel because of its location and that didn’t disappoint. However the room was deeply disappointing in several respects and the staff could only offer very limited help. Firstly, the room was decorated in black with very low levels of lighting. The staff couldn’t provide any additional lighting and I had to use a torch to find things. Secondly there was only one power socket and that was at the foot of the bed. The staff did find a very short extension lead so I could charge two items at once, but they had to be on the floor out of reach when in bed. There was very little cupboard or drawer space for clothes and nowhere to put an empty suitcase. The shower was good.

The hotel is in a great gay neighborhood. Bear Bars and Leather Bars within walking distance as well as Adult Stores and gay coffee shops and bookstores. The property itself is dated and could use a soft goods refresh but I enjoyed my stay. Great front desk team and good housekeeping service.

Significantly improved since 2020-2022 when it really went downhill with the clientele it attracted. A lot cleaner, no strange people hanging around & overall a lot clean and tidier. Jacuzzi didn’t work at all which was very disappointing. As with all other Axels, a €150 refundable deposit is payable on arrival & then city taxes payable on departure. Can’t fault it overall unless I end up having to chase for my refundable deposit as Axel Miami I had to chase 3 times before it was eventually released.

The hotel is in a perfect location for what we wanted to do. The staff was very accommodation and welcoming and were kind to store our luggage for us. However, the room needs some maintenance. We could not even shower without the fear of flooding the other floors. the drain did not drain. So we went to the Spa to shower and they were broken as well.

**DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY** I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel, which I chose for its LGBT-friendly reputation. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations. Firstly, the cleanliness of the hotel - The room and common areas were noticeably dirty, which was quite off-putting, namely the carpets in the hallways - filthy. The Maintenance in the room was poor - the jet bath didn’t work, and the ceiling had holes in it and teh couch smelled of stale urine. The air conditioning in my room didn’t work during a heatwave with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius. It was unbearable, and despite requesting assistance, no fan was provided until the last day of my stay. Additionally, the steam room and jacuzzi, which were among the amenities I was looking forward to, just didn’t work. This lack of functional facilities was a significant letdown. The team were nice & the location was good - but there are better hotels in the local vicinity that are better value for money and don’t cash in on the LGBTQ+ community by marketing themselves as “hetro friendly”. I chose this hotel for its reputation as an LGBTQ+ friendly establishment and its appeal to gay travellers. Unfortunately, the facilities and overall maintenance fell short of expectations. I worry that this situation may persist as long as the hotel continues to leverage its LGBTQ+ reputation to attract guests without delivering the quality that travellers clearly deserve.

Great Location, poor aircon for summer
The hotel is a great location and the spa is very nice except the spa was not heated. The biggest issue was the lack of reasonable functional air-conditioning as it was extremely hot and hard to sleep due to the efficiency of the air-conditioning. All the guests were complaining and regrettably it is what it is.
