DK Eyewitness
"An ornate, period building with lavish decor leading to somewhat smallish rooms that feel a bit worn at times."
Rough Guide
"Excellent-value perfectly adequate hotel in this otherwise expensive regal neighbourhood of Frederikstaden, overlooking peaceful Churchill Parken and the grassy ramparts of Kastellet."
