Axel Hotel - Adults Only

Pros: great location, rooftop bar and pool and a welcome drink! I didn’t have the breakfast but that looked like a great deal as well. The rooms are beautifully decorated 10/10 for decor. Location is great too!! The staff was really kind! Great view from rooftop

Cons: where this hotel misses is functionality and feel for me. The corridors to get to your room feels like a haunted house. There are steps in front of reception I had 2 massive bags, very odd setup that I have to separate from all my belongings to check in, not safe and simply makes no sense why you’d have reception up some steps. The carpet in the hallways made it hard to move my suitcases and they don’t have any bellhop services. The room while beautiful the most uncomfortable/cheap bed I’ve been at in a hotel! Like I was shocked when I hopped in, it was at that moment I realized I should’ve just spent more and stayed at a hotel chain I trust (but I’ve really been trying to try more boutique hotels) Do not get room 408, because I hope not all rooms are like this but I thought the room door would close automatically behind me but mine wouldn’t I had to hard pull it shut, which to me is basic standards and wildly unsafe..& the massive stain at the front door is not appeasing. All in all the free welcome drink is cool and they had cute things but completely missed the mark on foundational things.

Overall a cool place. However, very small rooms, unique choice of glass doors for bathroom, and a bit noisy. The front desk was very helpful, very nice, except after making a mistake and causing us to have to move luggage from one room to another room, and waiting in hot hallways, we didn't get any apology. Perhaps better for younger people and less luggage.

Solid place though we had some issues during our stay. Since we were right by the window, the upstairs club went until 1am which had people shouting for most of the night. Also, during our last day, someone tried to get into our room in the morning (wole us up). They got into opening the door before we yelled and they ran away. I'm sure it was someone drunk or lost (because we suspected a guy down the hall) but still... the desk downstairs were "checking the cameras". Need some better security if that's the case. The actual place is great and a great location, but these two stand out as major points to understand
