“In my opinion, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better-situated base for exploring Copenhagen, with the Town Hall Square literally on its doorstep. I noted the modern, soundproofed rooms, along with the bonus of an Executive Lounge, should appeal to both business and leisure travelers alike.

tacky decor moldy bathroom

the location was acceptable , being quite central to many attractions.

the room was disappointing , especially given the price. the decor felt tacky and the bathroom had dampness and mold. cleaning was only done upon request , which they excused as environmental protection , but it reminded me of cost-cutting instead.

effective air conditioning helpful staff

The hotel location suited me well. It was near many restaurants and souvenir shops. The air conditioning in the room was effective. I couldn't hear street noise with the windows closed (very useful). The staff were helpful and friendly.

The breakfast room felt a bit small. It seemed crowded to move around.

The location worked good. It was near many attractions and sights. The breakfast was also very good. I find the staff friendly and helpful.

I asked for a change of room. My request was turned down because the whole hotel had the same problem according to the technician. I was disappoint because the hotel has great review.
