Central and safe. Old building with patina.
Pros:

Location is awesome. Nice old building.

Cons:

The furniture was very tired and the carpet was kind of gross. Looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed very well. TV was small and no guide for channels. Lobby kind of smelled like rotten eggs.

Fint hotel med god beliggenhed.
Pros:

Central beliggenhed, gode parkeringsmuligheder, venligt og imødekommende personale. God restaurant på 2. etage med god mad.

Cons:

Morgenmaden var ekstrem sparsom og svarer til et niveau under middel.
