"Very much enjoyed my stay with my son. Clean room, helpful staff. Hotel is next to a big mall. 5 mins to the metro Havneholmen, but there is a train station too. I chose this hotel as I didn’t want it to be too central , and it was perfect. This was my first visit to Denmark, and it didn’t disappoint. I would come back again."

"Although the room is very small it has everything you need, TV, shower, plenty of plug sockets. The beds and bedding is comfy. The only thing I really could have done with is a fan as it was warm in the room and a hairdryer. The breakfast was good although more fruit needed especially bananas. Thank you for a great stay.
