Fantastic, and utterly amazing hotel.

Absolutely amazing hotel. Not only are the staff very welcoming and professional, but they really want to help and provide good service. One of our ovens broke in the studio room and a simple walk to the desk and our issue was solved in 5 minutes. What a wonderful experience it was.
Marcus, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a good stay, we had five nights and asked for a cleaning one time. The cleaning did not vacuum a rather dirty floor. We could not get any espresso, latte products as the machine was broken in the restaurant; so we went to Lagkagehuset every morning instead of the breakfast available at the hotel. Without air conditioning we usually just open the windows but our room was directly above the outdoor smoking sitting area and the smoke was unbearable during the days and nights which meant we were quite warm with windows closed. Loved the location ❣️
Marlene, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Quite Good

Room was nice but was not cleaned and no towels changed during the whole stay. Maybe they don’t do this anymore? Also, there was often no one at front desk when needed. The hotel facilities are great, gym and there’s a new restaurant. The location is also good and quiet.

4/10 Fair

Der var bundkoldt da vi kom til værelset og det var umuligt at varme op; rummet var støvet/beskidt og badeværelset havde også flere mangler. Personalet var venligt og fællesområderne var ok, men også lidt til den kolde side, temperaturmæssigt.

Et fantastisk nyere hotel med gode drinks, belligenhed og dejlige værelser. Mangelr dog så man kan lave kaffe på værelset. Men vi kommer igen.
