Let me start by saying that the staff were wonderful and that the company does read the reviews which I applaud. The problem, for me anyway, was the hotel design itself. The corridors were very dark, gloomy and bare. This gloomy atmosphere continues with the room. The room is effectively a bathroom with a bed in it. The shower, sink and toilet are all in from of the bed. I don’t mind seeing / hearing my significant other shower or wash their hands but seeing, hearing and smelling someone use the bathroom is not something I like. The rooftop has a bar and quite a large pool along with a rooftop view. Many restaurants and bars in the area. Once again the staff and management were great.

recently stayed at Axel Hotel Madrid, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The hotel is definitely showing its age. The carpet in my room was stained, there were cracks on the walls, and the beds were very hard, which made it uncomfortable to sleep. On top of that, the room’s telephone wasn’t working, which was frustrating. On the positive side, the staff was absolutely wonderful. Everyone I interacted with was super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The hotel itself is kept very clean and has a pleasant fragrance throughout, which made common areas and hallways feel fresh and well-maintained. In short, the service and cleanliness were great, but the rooms need some updating and more attention to comfort

Una experiencia muy agradable

No es nuestra primera vez en este hotel y nuestra experiencia siempre es muy agradable. Celebrabamos nuestro 9 aniversario en el hotel. Para nuestra sorpresa el equipo de Axel Madrid nos dejo una nota felicitandonos nuestro aniversario, además unos chocolates y una botella de champan. Son estos pequeños gestos los que marcan la diferencia. Lo único que resaltaría es que hacía calor en la habitación y el colchón esta vez nos resultó un poco incómodo se nos clavavan los hierros dle colchón pero no quisimos molestar a recepción, por lo que no les dijimos nada.

Great hotel in the center of Madrid. Walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. Hotel staff are amazing and were very helpful. The room are designed very nicely, everything is brand new. I loved the pool on the roof with the nice bar. I definitely recommend Axel Hotel for your stay.

I stayed for one day between international flights and didn’t take much advantage of anything this property had to offer, but it seems like it would be an appealing option for couples looking for something romantic and a little exotic.

I left on a Saturday and I had an early flight so I was not able to have my breakfast that I pre-paid for. Also. I wanted to order sandwich at the sky bar but it would have taken an hour to get. There were events at the hotel but guest were not notified in advance.

Really enjoyed the hotel. Upscale without being over the top. Well priced. Friendly, helpful staff. Had one of the beat breakfasts of my Spanish stay there. Massage by David was top notch. Room is nice and comfortable but its a bit dark. Rooftop and pool we re terrific. Apparentky the hetero set has definitely gotten the memo, but hope it doesnt dominate the vibe. Regardless, i recommend.
