Hi, My satisfaction with this stay at the hotel (and this is not my first time here) is quite low. The dry sauna was out of order throughout the entire six-day stay, and the jacuzzi was also not functioning properly — it was essentially just a lukewarm bath, nothing more. Throughout the stay, only one elevator was working, which caused long waits and delays. But the worst part was when *both elevators* were out of service for an entire day! That’s simply unacceptable — how does a situation like that happen? We had to go up and down from the 5th floor almost constantly, either because of long waits or because neither elevator was working. Despite all this, I must say that the reception staff were kind and the breakfast was excellent. I expect compensation for the inconvenience caused by all these issues with the hotel facilities. It’s simply not respectful, and I will reconsider staying at this hotel during my next visit to Berlin.

First Choice

My favorite place to stay in Berlin. Located one block from the Wittenberg-Platz U-Bahn station, so getting around the city is fairly easy. The rooms face the courtyard, so there is hardly any street noise. There are a number of restaurants and eating places in the area, and the hotel has a restaurant specializing in cuisine from the Caucasus region.

Gay Friendly, that's about all it offers.

I was double-charged for city fees, and when I questioned them at checkout, the front desk person said, 'I see that you paid at check-in, but there's nothing I can do now to make a note.' The beds are hard and uncomfortable. It feels like an afterthought hotel. I've stayed at two other Axel locations, and this one is, by far, the worst. I would not recommend anyone to stay.

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.

Gaytination

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

Property gouged me on price, I booked a room direct with them on their own website, and another 2 on Expedia, 2 days before my stay they canceled the only room I’d booked direct (for €470) with no explanation, eventually spoke to reception who so and the GM had told them to cancel my suite as they’d double booked it. They had a dozen other rooms they could have moved my reservation to, however they forced me to rebook a lower room on a new reservation that cost twice as much as my original! Do not book this hotel, shady business practices, room was filthy, the bath area I ended up cleaning myself because it was disgusting, the FOH team (with the exception of Kevin) are mostly rude and one two occasions I was stood there walked them get caught out talking s**t about the guest checking not realising they could speak German. Whole hotel is insanely dark, worn out and old, you spend your entire time trying to see yourself in your room mirrors and walking out into the hall using one of those mirrors. I spent $25k last year with the Miami property and assumed that the Berlin and Madrid properties would be as good, they are terrible. GM refuses to ever leave their office and speak to guests. As a hotel operator and marketing agency I can tell you this hotel operates WAAAY outside the normal hotel practice - booker beware!
