My stay at the Axel Hotel Berlin was a mix of positives and negatives. While the staff were consistently friendly and attentive, I encountered several issues that detracted from my experience. The room had some cleanliness concerns, and the air conditioning was insufficient, making it uncomfortable on hot days. However, the breakfast was a highlight, offering a good variety and quality that I appreciated each morning.

My stay at Axel Hotel Berlin was a mix of thrills and chills. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore the city, and the staff were generally friendly and eager to assist. However, I ran into issues with room cleanliness and maintenance that were disappointing. The rooftop sauna was a cool perk, but they need to step up their towel game.

I stayed in a junior suite that was spacious and clean, with a large shower perfect for two. However, the design choices, like the big red glass window between the bath and bed, were a bit quirky. My friend's room had severe cleanliness issues and dangerously designed windows, showcasing inconsistency across rooms.

The rooftop sauna and jacuzzi were wonderful amenities, although I think they need to ensure there are enough towels available for guests. The overall facilities, like the spa services, were enjoyable but could be better managed.
