I love this hotel, with the rooftop bar, gym, and amazing location. I found the overall room decor could use a refresh and my room was a bit noisy being next to an elevator.

Room was very small/very tight space for 2 males. 2 small drawers to unpack to, small hanger space, nowhere to set your bathroom stuff in the bathroom. What little desk space was cluttered with hot water pot, coffee cups etc and wine glasses and glasses if want something out of frig. Had to empty frog so I could put me meds that need to be kept cold in frig, and put coffee pot ets on floor so I could use the desk. It’s maybe a 3 star but lives like a 2 star. Staff was pleasant but not many of them. Skimpy with towels. Gym equipment is a rusty old nightmare. Rooftop bar plays their bad music as loud as possible which is to loud. Bar on roof can only make a handful of cocktails as it’s not a full bar. Overall disappointing but great location if want to be in gay scene.

Outstanding
Everything about my stay was incredible. As a solo traveler you can feel intimidated by hotel staff who can be a bit rude. But not at Axel, the Staff made me feel like I was a friend who was coming to stay again (even though it was my first time)
