“Crippling”
We had travelled by fast train from Barcelona. Gone to see Lion King, eaten, and checked in. Room perfect for me as a wheelchair user. Lots of open space big adapted bathroom. But the mattress was so hard. I awoke early morning in pain and hardly able to move.

“Family Holiday”
Axel Hotel is situated in the centre of Madrid. It is surrounded by a busy community of bars, restaurants & shops. The area is lively with narrow streets & beautiful buildings. It is within walking distance of the art galleries Prado & Sofia, Retiro Park, the Museum of Archeology. The Bernabeu is also only an hour away on foot & is worth a wander. As for the hotel, like everything, it has both positives & negatives. Firstly the staff. Whilst we didn't interact much with the staff as we were out all day. When we did, they were all friendly, helpful, polite & happy to support you. Morning breakfast service was pretty good. Again, the staff were great & there was a good selection of breads, cereal, fruit, eggs, meat & pastries. No complaints at all. We had two rooms. One double, one twin single. The double was just an average size, not the biggest, but fine. It had a shower, with a clear glass door. Why? Also a toilet with a frosted glass door & the sink was in the hallway/corridor. Due to the arrangement of the room, with the bed not facing the utilities, how the services were fitted was not much of a problem. In the twin single room however, it really was a issue. A twin single implies those staying in the room are not romantically together. In this instance it was brother & sister. The beds faced the toilet & shower with nothing to aid privacy. Again, the shower was clear glass & the toilet was floor to ceiling frosted glass. This was not acceptable, I'm afraid. I am really confused about the modern trend for fitting bathroom suites in hotels without the necessary privacy. Why do hotels think brothers/sisters/friends want to watch those they're staying with shower or go to the toilet? The hotel has a wonderful rooftop bar & pool with plenty of loungers. It is a lovely space. However, it pumped out dance music all day & night which really was not to our taste. I tried to read & chill a couple of times up their, but the music just really stressed me out. So, unfortunately, we didn't really utilise the space. I have to caveat my comments on the roof terrace. I'm not too sure I'm their target audience. Everyone else seemed to have absolutely no problems at all. I love to read & this was not a space catered to those who wanted a bit of peace & quiet. Which is absolutely fine. Taking everything into consideration, we did enjoy staying in the Axel Hotel. It had a great atmosphere, the staff all had a smile on their faces & were friendly & helpful. Apects of the rooms & the noise on the roof terrace did let it down. However, we did enjoy our stay.
