Everybody charming at front desk. Nice place, well located. Roof terrasse/bar/pool that must be awesome during the warm season (it was too cold during our visit). Our room was decorated very stylishly, well equipped, fairly quiet, rather small however. We would return, even though we were a hetero couple in a place considering itself a gay hotel, we felt very welcomed.

The staff at Axel are wonderful and welcoming, they explain everything clearly and make sure you have everything you need for your trip. I went during a quiet period for the city so had no issues with any noise, and my room was peaceful, spacious, clean, and everything finished to a high standard. The decor is modern and chic, and all the amenties you need are provided. Would definitely stay here again!

So firstly the hotel is gorgeous, the rooms are stunning, SO well done, comfortable and HUGE! I’ve lived in apartments smaller than the suite I had! The bathrooms are insane, some of my best (and raciest) selfies have been taken in that bathroom. The team are wonderful, so helpful and just the loveliest people who really go out their way to make you feel welcome. Cleanliness is outstanding, my suite, and the hotel in general, is spotless! So why a 4 star rating… this is a Herron-friendly hotel, meaning (to me) it’s a gay hotel first and foremost, and all others in this chain are smack bang in the middle of gay life and shopping… Madrid Axel is very much NOT in the heart of the gay scene or decent shopping. In fact it’s a 20mins walk from the gay neighbourhood or a $20 uber, the shopping and dining options are also non-existent unless you want to live on Burger King (which I do not). EVERYTHING is miles away, more importantly this is the middle of the city centre, it’s dirty around the hotel, noisy and at night… well thankfully my room had the most insanely noise insulating shutters and curtains (which I found on the second night, having been kept up until 4am with drunks screaming outside. If I could pick this hotel up and move it a mile it would be literally perfect… but for me it’s too far out of where it should be.

It was convenient to walk anywhere you wanted in the main area. There was always a front desk person. We were able to leave our baggage before check in. Our main issues were that it was very loud till quite late in the night (2 am) which is fine as long as you know what to expect. Also someone walked into our LOCKED room while we were asleep and we had to scream for them to leave. We reported it to the front desk and followed up but all we got it the standard apology and that they will be checking the cameras…
