"Excellent-value perfectly adequate hotel in this otherwise expensive regal neighbourhood of Frederikstaden, overlooking peaceful Churchill Parken and the grassy ramparts of Kastellet."
Star Service
"Nonetheless, this midsize boutique-hotel from the quality-driven Guldsmeden chain is a sprightly spot with a familiar Balinese burr, a signature from this homegrown company." Full review
