Great hotel - central location
This is a great hotel in a central location with comfortable rooms. I’ve stayed in Axel hotels before and they are all of a good standard. Our room was compact but well kept and comfortable, with a decent bed and bathroom.

The staff are friendly and accommodating even I was late a day in my check-in and reconsider my payment with my length of stay. The receptionists are awesome And very helpful to me. LGBTQ guests and heterosexual guests are catered fairly to have the best experience. I would recommend this place with friends and family. Great job guys!!!

Centrally located and all-round good hotel with a sky bar and a proper gym. However, should probably mention more clearly on the room description that the "city" room means a room without daylight.
