Reviews
They have a strict check-in time from 3 pm, and staff are not friendly enough to explain things. Moreover, the 150 Euro deposit fee was not mentioned anywhere.
The atmosphere of the hotel is vibrant and fun, with gay pop music creating a lively vibe throughout. The rooms are uniquely designed, with a sensual touch—perfect if that’s your style. The shower, for instance, is see-through with red-tinted glass, which adds a playful, intimate edge and might just spark your curiosity.
I also tried the massage service offered by the hotel. While André, the masseur, was professional, the massage itself was underwhelming. Despite expressing that I had muscle aches and needed a deep tissue massage, the technique felt light and lacked effort. In hindsight, I think I would have been better off exploring massage options in the city for a more satisfying experience.
The spa facilities were nice overall. However, the jacuzzi wasn’t as hot as I would have liked—it was only mildly warm, which was a bit disappointing.
In summary, the Axel Hotel is a great choice for those seeking a lively and unique stay with a fun atmosphere, but some aspects, like the massage service and spa, didn’t fully meet my expectations.
