This hotel is a mixed bag. The rooms are clean and quite big, but they can get too hot and lack some amenities. The service was nice overall, especially from the Latvian guy, but there were some rude encounters. The location is very central and great for exploring, but the bathroom setup might lead to some flooding. Dining options were hit or miss, with simple offerings and occasional crowding. Overall, a decent choice with room for improvement.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with four beds and a wheelchair-friendly apartment setup, though noise from the bar could be a disturbance.

The hotel offers clean rooms and decent private shower and toilet facilities, but there were signs that previous guests had left belongings behind. The service was a mix of wonderful and helpful staff along with some that lacked hospitality and were a bit rude at times. The location is near major attractions and convenient for exploring the city by foot. The dining experience had its ups and downs with a nearby supermarket being a positive breakfast option. Overall, the hotel provides a value for money stay with some room for improvement in service and room cleanliness.

My stay at the hostel offered a mix of experiences, with a great value for money in a mixed dormitory room with a private bathroom. Meeting lovely fellow guests made it a memorable stay, although the room could have been cleaner, and the lack of open windows made it hot in the summer. The friendly atmosphere and convenient location near Torvehallerne market added a nice touch, but the service quality was inconsistent, with some staff being rude at times.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a private toilet and rather comfortable beds, but there was a heavy smell in the room. The service, from check-in to breakfast, was exceptionally friendly, but the plastic covering was a bit of a downside. The location was very central, close to many bars and just under 10 minutes from metro stations, but there were some concerns about noise and odors. The dining options were nice but had some limitations. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
