I had a really lovely experience staying here. The gentleman that checked me in was very nice, professional and helped me when I needed an ice pack for an injury. My room was upgraded which was a very nice surprise, the shower and products were awesome. I also liked that it was close to Heineken and fairly close to a metro station. The only down side was that the building is very old and therefore the stairs/floors can be quite loud with people coming and going so I would suggest earplugs. There was seemingly also no AC in my room, it wasn’t too hot but I did need to use the fan they provided to sleep at night.

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.

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.

In a quiet residential area and yet we were close enough to nearly everything to walk. Excellent reception staff and someone available 24/7. I have Parkinson’s and they went out of their way to help me. This included assistance when I found the heavy doors hard to cope with including coming to take my case and other things down to the taxi in the early hours of the morning. We stayed not in the main part of the hotel but in a separate house next door and it would have been helpful to have had disposable cups with lids to take coffees and teas back up to our rooms from where the drinks machine was situated in the lounge area in the main hotel. The “honesty” bar (you simply told them at check out time) where by you were responsible for paying for drinks, snacks, sweets taken during your stay seemed to work well certainly from a guest’s point of view, saving a lot of time and aggro. A bowl of fruit would have been nice alongside the crisps and sweet snacks also a jug of iced water by the coffee machine particularly in hot weather. I had “comfy” single room which gave me just a bit more space, well designed wardrobe and shelving unit containing: safe, fan, simple light weight hair drier. kettle usual drink supplies (though no biscuits) and cardboard cups (environmentally friendly but not very tasty - better proper mugs and glasses.) Spacious bathroom with good sized walk in shower, worked well mixing hot and cold water so no fear of getting burnt or frozen! Good value.
