Perfect choice in Copenhagen.
Location is perfect. We stayed in a large room which is roomy. The room windows do open; that is very nice.

Great location - central but a very peaceful neighborhood. Generally a pleasant environment in the hotel, you can feel comfortable and like home. The staff were friendly. Rooms were clean, not big but the space was sufficient for a few days. We took a medium room and that was just the right fit for 2 persons. The beds were comfortable and linens were clean. Good value in Copenhagen.

Excellent stay, would be very happy to use hotel again
Excellent location, nice room
We pre booked breakfast and then changed our mind as our plans had changed and hotel Wanted to still charge as they said breakfast had been cooked. It was a buffet with everything possible on menu so not turning up would not have wasted food. After talking to staff they didn’t charge on this occasion

Staff at the hotel is excellent. Room was nice too.

Nice stay, great location.
Good location, easily able to access tourist attractions as well as venture off the beaten path. Booked a medium sized room as I wanted more space, room size was reasonable. Cozy hour was a nice touch, we went on a couple of days while we were staying there, was able to enjoy the communal space of the hotel.
Rooms do face a road so if you have your windows open, you will hear the sounds of pedestrians going by with their chatter. There is some truck loading/unloading items every morning starting from 530am so if you face that road, you may hear some noise. The alternative is to keep your windows closed, not sure how that would feel given there is no air conditioning in room. Once the windows are closed, all sound is cut. What I do like is that aside from the noise coming from the roads through the windows, the sound proofing from the other rooms is good. In other hotels we have been able to hear the room next door or the sounds of people walking/talking in the corridor, not here though so that is a plus. The blinds in our room were quite dirty and we could see smashed up little bugs on it (maybe they got squashed as the blinds were rolled) but otherwise the room was clean.

An amazing place
One of the best breakfasts ever because the choices, but also the staff was so sweet. They offered us choices of types of drip coffee even!
The coffee was served with low fat milk.

Very enjoyable and convenient to sites and transport.
Location. Room. Cleanliness. Staff were so pleasant and helpful
We were there during a unseasonable warm spell. Having no air meant we wanted windows open to cool room. There was considerable street noise at night. A fan was provided and second day/night was cooler and we could close windows. It wouldn’t prevent us from staying again!

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, and would love to return to Copenhagen again in the future.
The staff were super friendly, the styling of the hotel was very chic, and the location of the hotel was excellent. We loved the opportunity to take a break from sightseeing and have "cozy hour" at the hotel, and all of the people watching we could do while sitting on the street outside.
By Canadian standards, the shower in our hotel room definitely left something to be desired! Also, if you are tall like my husband and I (6" and 6'5", respectively), you've got to mind your head on the low, slanted ceilings in the hotel room.

The Hotel is in a wonderful old building and the location is superb.
The rooms are clean and tidy but small and old. The price is high for the standard.

Staff was the BEST! So friendly and attentive. Answered our questions on where to go and how to get there with a smile and such hospitality. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Just what you would expect. Location was great- close to the food hall and the Metro.
Carpeting in main areas a bit dirty.

Lovely stay in Copenhagen.
If you are a first timer to Copenhagen. The location is everything. You are situated basically in the center, and easy to walk to all the main attractions, restaurant, and shopping. The staff is so lovely and helpful. The vibe of the hotel is very cozy and chill. The breakfast is 5 stars. Fresh ingredients and lots of options.
The bathroom. We don't mind the small space as we've been to hotels in Japan where bathrooms were even smaller. But this one was just not as functional as we preferred.

The breakfast was amazing as always. Good gluten free choice as well as general breakfast items.
The extractor fab in our bathroom hummed continously. Luckily we didn't hear when the bathroom door was shut but it really shouldn't have been like that.
