Place was very clean and reception was speedy. The rooms were very awkward to stay in for two days with large suitcases. No room at all to hang your clothes other than right over top the only area you could set up any kind of toiletries and was also purposed with bar snacks that were, all available for a premium charge. No room to place any toiletries at all. Place looks nice in pictures. Wouldn’t be our choice in the future. Parking garage available for a charge, very tight spaces.

We had a fabulous three nights at the Axel hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms quiet and clean, can walk everywhere and they have a great gym downstairs for rainy days :). We would stay again 😊

Staff was friendly and the decor and facilities looked to be in good shape. Unfortunately, our room had a foul smell coming from the shower (which also was prone to flooding). We had arrived too late in the evening and left the following morning, so only told the staff about it when checking out, so don't know if/how this has been resolved.

The facilities are very nice and most staff are extremely helpful. Rooms are well kept. I enjoyed my stay. The rooftop is very nice but the pool is not for swimming and is unheated. If you are looking for a pool to get your laps in then you will be unhappy. But if you just need to chill and soak, it is perfect and often there is a self-srrve sparkling wine bottle on deck. The gym and sauna facilities are noce. You have long (15-20) min walks to old town or Gros but minutes from a nice river walk and the bridges. Parking is limited so call try to book early and call the night before. If parking is full, there is a parking lot around the corner that you can book with the Telpark app and the staff can help you with that. The parking lot is a two minute walk but a 10 to 15 min drive in traffic.

Checkin was a little slow, too many arrivals and not enough staff. Gym is great, but towels are missing as is cleaning spray. Room was very good - big and well appointed.
Roof top pool and loungers could have been better - messy and a bit chaotic. Overall a very good place, and within 20minutes walk of all major interest spots.

Great hotel with a spa
What a great hotel, and super value. The staff could not have been friendlier, and all had excellent English. We really enjoyed the spa facilities; they were a fabulous way to relax. The rooms were clean and intriguingly arranged; ours had a quasi-separate showering and dressing area, which we enjoyed. The hotel is right next to the lively Plaza Easo with its eateries and cultural events, and about a 10-minute walk from the Cathedral. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Great stay!
Great hotel. I only have 2 complaints. The pillows are horrible. PLEASE replace them. Also, I find it weird that you have to make reservations for the indoor whirlpool. It wasn't difficult to get one, but it's strange.
