Axel Hotel Berlin

(35 Ratings)
Popular and central adult-only high-definition-gay hotel

The third in the "heterofriendly" gay and lesbian Axel hotel chain (after Buenos Aires, which has since closed, and Barcelona), these Schöneberg lodgings (86 rooms) are terrifically gay-central, with easy to the local bar, café and cruising-the-streets culture on offer in droves.

Sleek, Modern, and definitely Unique!

I must admit, this is definitely the most unique hotel I've stayed in. I suppose this is mostly due to the fact that it's a hotel catered to the gay lifestyle. Never have I stayed in a hotel where they had a door sign that read, "please disturb". The room we stayed in was relatively small, but it was comfortable. Furthermore, the shower was positioned in a way that you can actually watch someone shower while in bed. Kindy, I know. Location wise it was perfect. It was right next to the underground subway and also walking distance to KaDeWe. Very convenient. I think my only gripe about the hotel was the internet connection. Gays and internet go hand-in-hand, so I surprised this issue hasn't already been addressed. Overall, it was a nice hotel and worth staying in.

Midtown moderne. . .Sleek and Gay

Look no further if you want upscale hospitality and professional treatment. A modern take on what it is to travel the world in style -- GAY Style! The larger superior rooms are the way to go, City Rooms are finely appointed and handsome but tight on space. The staff here are charming.
