Stayed at the Axel Hotel for one week in May 2012. While the room was quite small, it was clean, modern and had everything you need. The location is great- a two minute walk from the Universitat metro station on the red line. Very close to a great place for breakfast or lunch called Flauta. We were pleasantly surprised by... More

Check-in 2pm: room available at 6pm! No bathrobe and sleeper in the suite No breakfast menu order sheet, must go down to ask for Nice terasse in the suite and the top floor but no umbrella! 440Euro per nitght with a corresponding service would be ok! But that was really not the case... More

A test of a hotel is when something goes wrong, how they handle it, sort it out - in which case my review would have read 'Problem sorted - well done'. In summary, don't do anything crazy like arriving at 4 pm... More

I can recommend this hotel to everybody. We had a pleasant stay. You can now even rent bikes for a day or afternoon. Btw they have a nice breakfast. More
