We have stayed here before and have always enjoyed spacious room, nice staff and the central location. This time was a disappointment, since the spa area was closed. It certainly needed renovations. But I am very disappointed that we were informed about the temporary closing after the possibility of cancelling our stay had expired. This time we chose Axel for a March getaway planning to spend time in the sauna, but ended up having to change our plans and the extra money we spent on staying in this hotel was wasted.
