I read previous reviews, took the nay-sayers with a grain of salt, and booked a room for three of us. The nay-sayers were all correct: the "reception" area is nothing more than a counter next to the smoky bar which doubles as the breakfast area. At 6:00 p.m., the porter/receptionist was much more interested in getting back to the bar than helping us. We walked up 4 flights of dimly-lit stairs to our room, noticing walls & windows that all looked dingy and in need of cleaning & paint (the ancient elevator fits one person plus a suitcase). "Basic" is too generous a term for the room: no headboard for the badly-made bed, no table, desk, chair, sofa, lamps, or bathroom amenities beyond grayish towels. The phone sat on the windowsill behind a curtain. We heard a casual conversation in the neighboring room clearly through the walls. As we stood in the room a bit shell-shocked, the term "flop house" came to mind. Our room looked nothing like the images on their website. We asked for a different room, but nothing else was available. As we left, the porter assured us there would be no charge & no penalty. I've arrived home to a charge for a night on my credit card, and e-mail exchanges with the management are getting nowhere - it seems the porter is telling management we agreed to a one-night charge! Please - you can do MUCH better in Copenhagen for the price, and avoid the hassle of a poorly operated business.

Good value hotel, although a 20 min walk to ströget. We stayed for two nights and breakfast was included in the price. Room was clean and cozy with high ceiling and big windows. Guess the rooms we got had a newly renovated bathroom, which was nice.

Parking sapce in the street was expensive though. And the small breakfasbuffe was nothing special, but free so why not. Could recomend it to people looking for an affordble place in Copenhagen

First, keep in mind that hotels are just flat out expensive in Copenhagen due primarily to the poor exchange rate. Nothing is inexpensive, including this hotel but it's cheaper than most. It's an old place, but that kind of adds to the charm. Breakfast in the morning is coffee, cold cuts and cereal, nothing special but adequate. The main feature of this place is it's public bar, that is open from 10 in the morning until 2 in the morning - seven days a week. No food served after breakfast. It is usually very smoke filled so you won't like it if that bothers you. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It's location is great for public transportation. Even the most timid won't mind hopping on a bus.
