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…

Nice Hotel

To be honest it is a nice hotel. I think it could do with a slight refresh. The scent in the main reception area is quite overpowering. During the day there is quite loud music playing in the hallway which meant getting a nap during the day wasn't the best. I think someone else must've complained as the speakers in my corridor got turned off I think. Seems like an odd choice regardless. My room and bed was nice though the TV was at an odd angle like it had been knocked and not repaired properly. The shower took a long time to run hot but once it did it was fine. Some way to close the sleeping area off from the wash and toilet area world be nice. On check out however I was asked if I took anything from the mini bar, which I hadn't. However I appear to have been charged €8 regardless for who knows what. Not much but I'm not happy about it either.

The room was fine for 1 person. It was large but also had open (glass dividers) shower and toilet (rather than being around the corner or a separate room) Also Chose this as I was there in the summer and the roof bar area was very convenient. At end nov it was hired out for multiple events which meant we couldn’t use it. So Good in summer if you want the pool. Otherwise other hotels would likely be better. Fine if it’s a good deal

Overall the hotel is good. The spa/sauna was not open and I the roof top pool has a great view of the city, but also the hotel should consider make it a hot pool for the winter.
