Axel Hotel Berlin - Berlin

Excellent overall. Minisuites had lots if room and closet space and cool bathroom in red glass facing the bedroom. Perfect location near Wittenburg Platz, Kurfurstendam and Schoeneburg. I highly recommend and would stay again.

The Axel is a very well run comfortable hotel, I would strongly recommend it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is really a gay hotel. I can say this gay man. It reminded me of an upscale bath house. Everything is black inside ( the hallways, the walk ways, the room walls) with mirrors at the end of the corridors and low watt lighting. The rooms are very modern. ( there i a glass wall in the foyer of the room that is actually part of the shower design). […] Not much storage space for a long stay. Hard to find light switches ( painted black just like the walls). Great location, Close to underground and close to CaDeWe ( a must see department store). staff is very helpful with directions and speak english. As a gay man, I would not stay there, not my style.

Very nice location, a block from an U-bahn stop, lots of stuff around. But the rooms are *extremely* tiny and crowded (they'd be small even in Asia), and not in good repair. Overall it feels like a three-star hotel with most of the lights turned off so you can't see any of the problems (or your partner!). Nearly unusable wifi service (it's far more […] frustrating than useful), so don't count on checking in on work. Also: certainly "heterofriendly" as advertised, but probably not family-friendly.

I was very disappointed in the room, it was very small and had an unclean smell the entire time that I was there. The staff was friendly, very outgoing. I did have the breakfast one morning, a big mistake, it was OK but very overpriced. I have been to Berlin several times and stayed in several other hotels in this area. I don't plan on returning to […] the Axel. Read more

Hotel has modern feel with very friendly staff. It's very close to a U-Bahn station and biggest luxury department store in town (KaDeWe). Basic Room is a bit small and has very little storage space. The bathroom is designed to induce intimacy - just be certain you are OK with your roommate :-) I would definitely consider staying at this hotel again […] . Read more

This is a good hotel in a great location. The staff is courteous and helpful. My complaints are about the details, but ones that prevent this hotel from getting a better score. First, they make a big deal of the gym/sauna but do not monitor it often enough to see that it is in good shape. For example, one of the weight machines was broken the entire […] 10 days of my stay. One of the two saunas was often not working (although they did get it fixed by next day each time). They were missing plastic cups and towels quite often. The area should be checked and cleaned and stocked several times a day. Similarly, I have minor complaints about my room. Nearly every day something was forgotten. One day there were no bath towels, one day no bathrobe, one day no drinking glass, etc etc. The cleaning staff should have a checklist if they need it. Also - at one point I took a single whiskey from the minibar, and discovered someone previously had drunk it, refilled it was cola and replaced it in the minibar. I called down to the desk to make sure I wasn't charged for it, and was assured they would take it off the bill. Needless to say, there it was on the bill, which I did not discover until my taxi to the airport. In sum, I like the hotel a lot, but I wish they would fix the "little things" that one expects in a great hotel. Step it up a bit! Read more

I had a difficult jet-lagged first night at Hotel Axel in a room where the walls were very thin and my noisy neighbor was up all night. I spoke with the front desk the next morning and they switched my room to a slightly larger, more comfortable, and much quieter room. The smaller rooms here are very small, just enough room for a bed and shower. I recommend […] spending a little more money for a larger room or taking one of the suites at the corner of the hotel. The spa was clean and nice and although the hot tub was barely lukewarm, you can sit outside and take in Berlin from it. The clientel was very international and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The surrounding neighborhood is similar to the Castro in San Francisco with a central U-Bahn station a block and a half away. Read more

The hotel is conveniently located if you're interested in gay restaurants, bars, night life. It is not very convenient to the eastern part of Berlin. They spent a lot of time on the bar, which is very nice, but it has not caught on with the locals or the guests. It was totally empty for the five nights I was there.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I found the Staff to be very nice and would rec staying there. I enjoyed my time in Berlin at this hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Axel is comfortable, practical and stylish, yet not pretentious. Staff is efficient, friendly and accomodating. Nice cafe/bar and great location... in terms of neighborhood, but also subway. The wifi is free in rooms and the jacuzzi bathtub was very comfortable in the room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

There is a reason I keep going back to this hotel--it's outstanding. The hotel is incredibly clean, the staff is friendly, and you just can't beat the location. But the best part of the hotel really is the staff. I'm convinced that this hotel doesn't hire ugly people. Everyone is attractive. But they're also friendly, helpful, and efficient. The Axel […] hotel is right in the heart of Berlin's gay neighborhood and it's less than two blocks from a major U-Bahn station. This hotel bills itself as a "heterofriendly" hotel. But they know where their bread is buttered. They cater to the gay and lesbian community. Read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Axel Hotel. The staff is courteous, professional, warm, and extremely responsive and helpful. The overall atmosphere is contemporary yet inviting, and the "feeling" is upbeat, open, and relaxing. This was our fourth stay. Rooms are quiet, comfortable, and climate-controlled. One would be hard pressed to find a better […] location in relation to shopping, nightlife, and access to the U-Bahn/S-Bahn system. We also highly recommend the restaurant/bar and spa facilities.

It is not exactly a gay hotel perse, but indeed very gay friendly and cater to a mostly gay client base. The hotel itself is chic and nicely designed. The location is great, aside from just next to Berlin's gay ghetto, it is also very close to Berlin's most famous department store - KaDeWe.

Excellent and in convenient gay location and easy to get to by Metro or Bus. Great service from friendly and helpful staff. BEST deal is for a inexpensive Hop on Hop off bus ticket from front desk. Valid for two days for a narrated bus tour in 16 languages, stopping at ALL the sites you want to see in Berlin. Stay on or get off at any point and hop […] back on when done. Bus starts near the hotel. I will use this hotel each time in Berlin as the location is right in the middle of one of Berlin's admired Gay district with all the venues you would want to visit.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Hotel was clean and in a good location. However I was unaware that the hotel was in the Gay district. It would have been nice to know before hand so I could have prepared my self. the t.v. Image that I had to see every night of two naked men was a little much for me. All in all it was an experience.

Advice that is mainly a gay hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I expected the hotel to be in a much more desirable location, however it was far from much of the action. It is certainly a gay hotel, but closer to the older gay neighborhood and a lot of bath houses, leather bars and other bars frequented by an older crowd. If that is your cup of tea, then this place is perfect for you. It is not mine, so I should […] have stayed closer to Mitte or another neighborhood. Read more

The employees are very friendly. The hotel has its charm, there is a lot of black colors begin used. The might dust better, serious, there was a layer of dust.. One bathrobe in a two-persons room is a bit less. Great sauna and steam room, keep up and blind the windows so that the neighbors do not look in. Free use of internet on two computers. Next […] step is free internet in the entire hotel. Read more

I would highly recommend this hotel. Not only is it conveniently located to many restaurants, the metro and places to go but the staff are extremely helpful. This is my first time in Germany and Berlin and they made sure I was informed of how to use the metro and places to go and eat etc. Plus it has so much more to offer. The outdoor jacuzzi, the nice […] steam room and sauna allowed me to transition into my vacation easily. Read more

The hotel location is perfect. It's just steps to the metro station and to the primary gay district. Good shopping and restaurants in every direction.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Axel Hotel advertises itself as Heterofriendly. This is a gay hotel, through and through. And given its location, it's in the perfect spot. It's right in the heart of Berlin's Schoeneberg neighborhood. The rooms are contemporary and very comfortable. The staff was exceptional. They were able to help with just about anything, including ideas for […] shopping and dinner. The hotel is a short block away from the Wittenbergplatz UBahn station. Again, that makes the location superb. Read more

a very stylishly decorated place, we enjoyed that very much. nice helpful staff. free internet- very important! the neighbourhood is central and safe. but at evenings (after 22:00) there is nothing to do. our room was very comfy, the bed was great. the shower was excellent apart for two annoyances- every minute or so the water turned really hot or […] really cold for a second. also there was a leak from the shower to the hallway of our room. overall a great experience!! we recommend it dearly.

Compared to the Buenos AIres Axel, this place is is ae people a has been. If the price is right, stay. I would stay ere again for a good rate. I somehow think a star fell off of the wall somewhere along the way and it is no where near a four star hotel. Basic and comfortable, but no services. Th front desk clerks (and I mean each one of three, there […] is usually only one) seem like they should work at the Motor Vehicles Department. They don;t look at you when they talk, they are unfriendly, and seem bothered. I should say there was one exception, who was friendly. At one point in the early morning, I called down to leave a wake up call and no one ansered the phone after severl tries spread out over 15 minutes. I had to go down to the lobby and wait for the busy clerk to show up. NOT GOOD> Rooms are small yet sufficeint... towels are freyed and the ads are better than the place itself. DO not expect the same quality as the BA property...or the same attitudes. This is more of a motel, than a hotel... in the US sense. Read more

Great full-service hotel, centrally located to one of the gay districts in Berlin. Decor was very modern and chic, if perhaps a bit too black. But I was upgraded to a suite upon arrival and it was the best hotel experience I've had. Whirlpool tub AND a separate shower with rainwater faucets. Over a block away from KaDeWe and the Gedaechtsniskirche on […] the K-Damm. Read more

I loved the Axel Hotel. The staff was courteous, friendly and efficient.

My room was lovely. Breakfast was very nice, and the hotel bar […] at night was charming. I'll be back! Read more

To begin, this hotel is "Hetero-Friendly" and they advertise that with the shirts they wear. If you have a problem with gay people, it's best to look elsewhere. The hotel rooms are nice and large by European standards. The shower is nice, they use Villeroy and Boch sinks, Bang & Olufsen phones. Everything is in black, and the counter top for the bathroom […] sink had been damaged upon installation or by another customer. The screws had started coming up through the bottom. It didn't bother me, just something I noticed. The BIGGEST complaint that I have is the fact that they charge 9 Euro for internet services. This is HORRIBLE and the first that I've come across in Europe. I'm sure there are other hotels that charge, but I happened to stay at this one and I think it's ridiculous! That's the only hit that I would give this hotel. Other than that, things are good for a solo traveler or a couple. One note...if you're traveling with friends, this may not be the place. There is no privacy for the shower from inside the room. Read more
