Pros:

It's a comfortable place, except for the bar behind the wall; the noise makes it impossible to sleep without earplugs.

Cons:

I booked a room with an elevator and for it to look a certain way. They put me in a completely different room, in the old part. They helped me carry my suitcases, but it would have been better if they had just put me in the part I booked. When I asked why they put me in the wrong place, they said it made no difference and didn't want to change my room. If you're not prepared to fall asleep to unbearable noise, you can book this hotel. It's suitable for those who apparently came here to drink themselves into oblivion. The room is dark, with sealed windows and gray walls, but spacious. It was clean, the breakfast offered a variety of egg preparations.

Fint hotel med lækker morgenmad
Pros:

Rigtig god beliggenhed, fine værelser og god morgenmad.

Cons:

Dårlig aircondition på værelset. Meget punktlige med morgenmad, man får ikke morgenmad 1 min før. Selvom vi skulle afsted, vi endte med at få morgenmad 2 min inden vi blev hentet med taxa og kunne ikke få det to/go

Worth the stay!
Pros:

The staff were great, booked my bus and were accommodating, breakfast was simple but good, nice location just a few steps to the river and on weekends they shut down the street for a market and events. My room had a window that faced the street which was alright, a fridge, kettle and a desk.. Light switch by the bed was a nice touch.

Cons:

Internet was a bit sketchy at times, room is a bit run down but comfortable and great location and price makes up for it.
