"Let this serve as a basic homebase for the exploration of Copenhagen and nearby Sweden and you will not be disappointed. The staff were helpful, the lounge area is perfectly set up to serve as a morning workplace as well as an afternoon post-exploration pub. Just be aware, that the rooms are extremely small and that spending alone-time in them will not be very convenient. However, they are clean, the water is hot, and the beds are comfortable. The best part is that the train station is an easy 5 minute walk and from there everywhere else is simply a ticket away. We only had two full days and went to Copenhagen and Lund, Sweden."
