Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nicely decorated, but cleanliness was an issue with many dirty spots in the toilet and next to the bed. However, having a shared washroom was convenient for me, and the room size was fair for the price paid.
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.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location was great, close to Nyhavn and within walking distance to many attractions. The rooms, although small and lacking air conditioning, were tidy. The service was friendly and accommodating, but cleanliness could use some improvement. The dining options were limited, but the proximity to a supermarket was convenient for breakfast. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

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.
