A Gem of a Hotel

Right from the moment my companion and I sauntered through the glass doors of the main entrance-which are enclosed in a beautifully appointed façade, to the time we regrettably had to say our farewells, we were whisked away into a world of complete bliss at the hands of our hosts. The interior is quite welcoming—a simple reception counter within a cozy lounge and acceptance/waiting area, and a restaurant (Kitchen by Axel) and bar (Underground by Axel) off to the right. The design is decidedly modern (trendy, yet nuanced with elegance – sort of W-esque), and the staff, who tend to be versatile in their disciplines (can sometimes be seen shuffling between bar and restaurant) couldn’t be any more delightful. For those who prefer to lounge on holiday—or maybe opt for a little bit of wellness, Axel is equipped with SPA essentials—Jacuzzi, steam and dry sauna and, a swimming pool on the roof deck. Though, don’t expect to do laps here and, if you happen to be visiting in non-summer months (as I was) the water may be a little chilly as the pool isn’t currently heated. Overall, it’s a very impressive and comfortable establishment for all – and very aptly and conveniently located.

GREAT HOTEL with great accomodations! the receptionists @ the front desk were to die for! :)

upon arrival i was greeted by the gorgeous receptionists at the front desk and that already gave me a good impression. they were so helpful and very nice. the hotel seems to need a bit more maintainence but i have to say my stay was very satisfying. spa, solarium and the gym on the roof was my nightly activity and they were such nice amenities they just could not get any better! location of hotel was good also. definitely recommend this hotel!
