8.6/10 Excellent! (1,259 reviews)

Excellent choice for our 4 day break in Copenhagen. Right next to the Train Station, room overlooked Tivoli Gardens which I loved watching, day and night. Could not have chosen a better location. Lovely large, well equipped room that was comfortable. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a lovely selection and was refreshed often by the staff.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (328 reviews)

Great walkable location with excellent, friendly multilingual customer service staff (Danish & English). The facilities were going through renovations but it was still all usable and will be beautiful when it’s finished. Warning - Copenhagen is not a cheap city for accommodation. Needing space for ourselves and our adult daughter for 4 nights, (more that a folding mobile bed), we opted for this apartment@ approx $AU1,000 per night it was more than we expected to have to pay but the apartment, property, location and service could not be faulted. Loved the ‘green’ initiatives! Would definitely recommend and return.
