Great idea, bad followthrough
The Axel has a great location, too bad it has a staff that should be moved out as soon as possible. Unfriendly, uninterested, unapproachable, they go out of their way not to be of help. The hotel boasts WiFi in the rooms; well, that's true in room 112 if you stand in the door with one foot in the hallway. Forget hanging a Clean the room sign on the door; they'll do that when the rulebook says it will happen, not before. I was here when it first opened and wanted very much to come back. Now that I have, I am sorry I did and most certainly never will again.

Axel Hotel.
The hotel is very nice and comfort. The room was a little small but well equipped. Note, the hotel is 'gay friendly'. It's OK if you know it in advanced.

Sehr schön
Very clean hotel with extremely pleasant and helpful staff. I had never visited Berlin before so I was a bit apprehensive about where to find the nightlife, good restaurants, etc. The front desk staff were so helpful that I was truly able to enjoy myself with no stress about being in a strange city.

The Axel is certainly well located,
The Axel is certainly well located, 2 minutes walk from Wittenburgplatz U-Bahn station and 3 minutes from KaDeWe. However our "superior" room was a victim of style over substance. There was hardly anywhere to hang clothes, and only 5 hangers in any case. The curtains couldn't be closed completely so let an irritating shaft of light into the room. The promised iPod docking station was never available and WiFi access costs €8 per day. On the positive side, the bed was large and comfortable and the pillows and linen were good quality. The sophisticated shower worked well. The top floor spa didn't seem well maintained: the jacuzzi was permanently tepid, the sauna and steam room intermittently so and there was dust under the tables and mould around the jacuzzi. On the plus side, the staff were pleasant. Breakfast, included in our rate, was good, nicely presented and served till noon at the weekend - useful if you enjoy Berlin nightlife!
