Michelin Guide
"Landmark hotel dating back over 250 years, in a central location across from the Opera House."
Concierge
"Despite the overall crusty patina, this grande dame is looking cautiously forward: Guests can decompress from modern life with a papaya gel massage or a dip in the indoor pool."

Frommer's
"This hotel has no frills, but it's comfortable and moderately priced -- reason enough to recommend it." Full review
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."
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
