New hotel with good facilities, it’s a bit far from the old town it’s easy a 20-25min so probably not so convenient if you like to stay in the center. The breakfast is ok nothing too fancy! The rooms are good, modern but not great value for money vs the location!

Liked: Cleanliness
Staff were nice but not as proactive or helpful when had air conditioning issue that lead to living in sauna and having to call through night to turn it on. So uncomfortable stay. Hotel in general clean, simple and pleasant. A little walk away from main area and in more residential area so better if just want a home base for explore wider area.

Perfect stay

Our stay at Axel hotel was a very good one. It was clean and very nice. It was in a calm area but very close to the city centre and to the old town. We really recommend this hotel.

Loved it!

Excellent hotel. It’s an LBGTQ+ friendly chain but they welcome everyone. We loved our stay. The location is great, walkable to many bars & restaurants as well as the beach and old town. There’s a nice grocery store just down the street. Parking is 26 Euros a night. We would stay there again in a heart beat.
