DK Eyewitness
"This former orphanage is on a small lake just by Rosenborg Slot. The smallish rooms have classic, turn-of-the-century Scandinavian decor with a good number of antique furnishings."
Star Service
"On a quiet court in a residential neighborhood, facing a string of Copenhagen's man-made lakes, a 20-minute walk from Stroeget (walking street) and a 10-minute walk from the Norreport Train Station." Full review

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
