What a beautiful, spacious room! Great location, slightly away from the busy centers so you can rest, but close enough to jump right in when you’re ready! Very close to easy transport that takes you right into Dam Square and Central Station. I came in from the train and it was very easy to get to the hotel from public transit.
One word of caution, the building is older so there is only 1 lift (small) and very steep stairs. Would not recommend for ADA.

Great place. Quiet despite being in a major city. Friendly staff. The receptionist was happy to lend me an iron and an adapter for electronics. Smallish but good rooms. It's nice to stay in a hotel that isn't part of one of those international chains.

Really enjoyed my stay here! It’s located in a quiet area, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. Everything was super clean and recently renovated, giving it a fresh and comfortable vibe. The staff were really nice and helpful throughout my stay. And as a lovely touch, they even gave me a little gift at checkout. Such a thoughtful gesture! Would definitely stay here again.

Location is great. Close to museums, art galleries, restaurants, transportation.
Rooms way too small.
Lack of amenities. Ie. No fridge, ice or air conditioning.
Charges for all extras including coffee.
Decent shower but only hand soap and shampoo, nothing more.
Reception staff was helpful regarding local dining locations and tram operations.
Room rates are comparable to other higher end properties on our European holiday.
