“sub-basement blues”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

I stayed here with my brother for a week over new years. First off the so called room was more like a sub basement, or storage room converted into a room. I was at least expecting a standard hotel room, very disappointing. Believe it or not it could have been worse as we noticed they had basement rooms with no windows. At least we had windows in our storage room. There was no plug for the sink and when I asked for one, I was told there were none in the hotel. How strange.

Within an hour of arriving at our room the lady from the reception came banging on our door and more or less accused us of tampering with the smoke alarm, we did no such thing. She tried to make out that their smoke alarms are somehow monitored and ours was being tampered with. I can only imagine this was some sort of scare tactic to stop people smoking in their rooms, which as non-smokers, we had not intention of doing. And the place stunk of weed anyway, so I'm not sure what she was trying to achieve.

The only good thing about this hotel was it's location. It's located near central station and it's quite easy to walk to all the different districts from the hotel.

“Not bad for the price, very friendly staff!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This hotel is in the perfect location - close to Central Station and Dam Square. The hotel is clean but basic. The staircase up to the rooms is very steep and there's no lift so not suitable for people with limited mobility. We paid about £250 for 3 nights, which was cheap compared to many other hotels. We arrived a few hours before check-in but the staff were very friendly and held our bags while we went out to explore, when we returned the room was ready as promised. Breakfast was ham, cheese, bread & a boiled egg - not the most exciting but pleasant enough! I would recommend for a basic place to get some rest, but nothing more!

“Perfect location, but nothing else...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Perfect central location. The interior reminded me of soviet design. Very clean. Extremely friendly and helpfull staff. Good choice if you are looking for value for money, but need a room only for sleep after a good party night. I don't think to visit the hotel again untill they do a reffurbishment.
