Axel Hotel Berlin - Adults Only

I chose the hotel (and paid a higher premium) as it does have gym facilities. many places in the area doesnt. I like to stick to routine. The gym wasn’t bad and the location was good. That’s all that was good.

I was jaded. I went back to the app now to see how I got it wrong, but the hotel made me feel very uncomfortable, and I am no prude. The passages are pitch dark and mirrors everywhere. Music booming through the atrium. The red glow of your bathroom feels so “fifty shades”. But my worst experience was the inability to go outside for a smoke at night without being harassed by strangers for “a good time”. And yes, this is not the hotel’s doing, but I was told by these forward individuals it is because I stayed there. There is apparently only one reason why you stay in the Axel, in their opinion.. I seem to have missed that part. And not knowing that afforded me the wonderful experience to be groped all over by two men directly outside reception. “No” doesnt work. After 3 “no’s” I had to shove the one guy away with force. They left after that. I was hit on more than once when all I wanted was the few minutes to smoke. No security. No response from the hotel. So be very sure you understand what you’re booking. If you go in with your eyes wide open, I guess it really isnt all bad. But be very sure you understand what you’re booking. I was blissfully unaware and checked out as early as I could the next morning. Never again.

The location is very good.

RUDE, RUDE staff. 1 working elevator for 6 floors. Smells like sewer every now and then. Uncomfortable bed. Overstuffed fridge. RUDE, RUDE front desk queens.

The only two things I liked about the property were the location and the housekeeping staff

The front desk staff was horrible, arrogant, incompetent and blundered one thing after another from arrival to exit. I would literally stay anywhere but here.
