Heterofriendly
The Axel Hotel advertises itself as Heterofriendly. This is a gay hotel, through and through. And given its location, it's in the perfect spot. It's right in the heart of Berlin's Schoeneberg neighborhood. The rooms are contemporary and very comfortable. The staff was exceptional. They were able to help with just about anything, including ideas for shopping and dinner. The hotel is a short block away from the Wittenbergplatz UBahn station. Again, that makes the location superb.
