Perfect stay

Our stay at Axel hotel was a very good one. It was clean and very nice. It was in a calm area but very close to the city centre and to the old town. We really recommend this hotel.

Loved it!

Excellent hotel. It’s an LBGTQ+ friendly chain but they welcome everyone. We loved our stay. The location is great, walkable to many bars & restaurants as well as the beach and old town. There’s a nice grocery store just down the street. Parking is 26 Euros a night. We would stay there again in a heart beat.

The room and the bed were ok. However, the shower changed temperature by itself, its door did not close, making the floor a bit wet and the toilet did not work properly. On top of that the staff was not very friendly, leaning to rude. We only stayed one night, and wouldn't stay again. Its a good option if you need something close to the train station other than that, nothing special.

This new Axel is beautiful. From my initial greeting by a very hospitable Racquel, to the gorgeous room. Everything is spotlessly clean, obviously it’s new but the bed was comfortable and a gorgeous shower. My only tiny negative is that the spa pool could have been warmer, but the hotel was superb value for money and a fifteen minute walk from The Conch and incredible food options of the Old Town. I would recommend it highly

Very modern and hip. Great service and vibe. Walkable to everywhere you want to go. We stayed in winter and did not use the pool. If you are looking for a view of the sea, this is the only drawback.
