What guests think

At Axel Hotel Berlin - Adults Only, travellers like the central Schöneberg location near U-Bahn and nightlife, and many praise friendly front-desk teams, but reviews repeatedly note dated spaces, frequent maintenance problems, and wellness facilities that are often out of service.

Rooms tend to be small and dark, with recurring issues around air conditioning or heating, leaky showers, and noise depending on floor or street exposure. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with several reports of odors, stained carpets, and dusty or poorly maintained spa areas, though some guests do find rooms clean. Expect a lively, central base with variable comfort and reliability.

Facilities

Rooftop spa facilities (sauna, steam room, hot tub) are a draw when working, but many reviews cite closures, broken features, towel shortages, and cleanliness issues. The gym is small with some broken equipment, and elevator outages cause long waits.

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.

The hotel needs fixes and a loving hand! On arrival, we immediately noticed a bad smell in our room. At first we “tried to live with it”, but the next day we asked to be moved to another room. Sadly, that wasn’t possible due to the hotel being fully booked during the football final weekend. On top of that, the jacuzzi in the room didn’t work. But we used it as a regular bathtub instead (the drain cover was also broken and had to be placed and removed by hand instead of turning the knob). That’s when we realized that the smell in the room, we initially thought was due to a lack of cleaning after someone smoking in the room, actually came from the carpet. The bathtub was leaking! Water went through hidden cracks somewhere, and despite not splashing water around, the water would leak through the floor/wall and continuously make the carpet very wet. Hence the moldy smell in the room. Sadly, this wasn’t a great experience :-( and we will choose another hotel next time we visit Berlin.

The entire hotel stinks of cigarette smoke, sewage and cheap air freshener. This place was obviously once quite cool, but is now in dire need of a complete overhaul. The carpets are threadbare in places and badly stained, the walls are papered in a fabric wallpaper which for a venue like this was a mistake, particularly when nothing is maintained. Doors in the corridor slamming all night, and a rock hard mattress with one very worn pillow also made for a very poor sleep. Checked out one night early and moved to a different hotel closer to the city. Never again.

Unfortunately, the shower in my room was not watertight, which meant that the sliding door to the living room was not watertight, which led to the bedroom being flooded. Not nice! Furthermore, there was no closet in the room, only a small niche to store your belongings. There wasn't even a hook to hang up a coat. The breakfast in the restaurant next door was definitely not worth the money.

I was happy with my stay! The hotel is in a great location and is close to fun bars and restaurants. It is very convenient to have the gym and saunas available 24 hours for hotel guests. All of the staff that I came in contact with were friendly, helpful, and professional. However - the hotel lacks basic amenities. It was my first time ever staying in a hotel where the rooms are not equipped with hair dryers, coffee makers, irons, or ironing boards.

The stay here was fine, the property is starting to show its age, and the mattresses are hard as a rock, but the staff are lovely and very helpful. Tip if you book a more expensive room such as a junior suite - request a high floor. I was on level 2 and had constant traffic noise, could hear the conversations of people on the street at all hours of the night, and at times could smell cigarette smoke coming up from street level.

It’s a gay hotel near the gay neighborhood. That is about all that it has going for it. The rooms are dark and smell like cigarette smoke. The beds are hard and you can feel the springs. The baseboards are broken in places. One window did not have any way to block out the morning Sun, so no sleeping in. Location excellent though.

I chose the hotel because of its location and that didn’t disappoint. However the room was deeply disappointing in several respects and the staff could only offer very limited help. Firstly, the room was decorated in black with very low levels of lighting. The staff couldn’t provide any additional lighting and I had to use a torch to find things. Secondly there was only one power socket and that was at the foot of the bed. The staff did find a very short extension lead so I could charge two items at once, but they had to be on the floor out of reach when in bed. There was very little cupboard or drawer space for clothes and nowhere to put an empty suitcase. The shower was good.

So the spa area and gym area Dirty no towels here either Toilets dirty over flowing ! Breakfast well this is a joke !! Sat down for 20 minutes whilst the waiter was sat on the bar flicking through Grindr rather then approaching me and taking my order I was there for 28 minutes before a girl came over to take my drink order Then another 5 minutes later the staff came over and laughed saying do you want to eat ?? Well this was a joke and the breakfast choice honestly you would get better in a hostel !! So I raised these concerns to the reception who told me to send an email rather then deal with the situation there and then !! I have pictures of all the things to document !!

Sauna and steam room not working.For the price paid offered very poor value for money. Overall the hotel needs cleaning, reception staff need to know the basics of cutomer service.

Ich musste 150€ Kaution zahlen, was in der Buchung nicht angekündigt war. Die Zahlung war nur mit Kreditkarte oder bar möglich. Das hat mich sehr geärgert. Zur Begründung hieß es man könne nichts dafür dass diese Infos mich nicht erreicht hätten, man habe mit Expedia („diesem Konzern“) nichts zu tun. Statt einzuchecken musste ich also mit dem Gepäck auf die Suche nach einem Geldautomaten gehen. Der Zettel an der Tür eines Nachbarzimmers mit der Aufschrift „Slave 4free use welcome“ lässt mich mit einem unguten Gefühl zurück. Sicherlich mein letzter Besuch in dem Hotel.

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!
