Frommer's
"A luxury Victorian-style hotel... If you're willing to pay more, opt for one of the business-class rooms or perhaps a suite." Full review
Concierge
"The Phoenix has a slightly antiquated air itself, and is an effective antidote to Copenhagen's crush of self-satisfied boutique hotels."
Fodor's
"Suites are large and adorned with 18-karat-gold-plated bathroom fixtures and reproductions of antiques." Full review

Light sleepers should ask for rooms above the second floor.
DK Eyewitness
"The lavish, elegant rooms proffer silk bedspreads, original art on the walls, Louis XIV furniture and gold fixtures in the large marble bathrooms."
Star Service
"This is a well-rounded traditionalist occupying a 17th-century building in the heart of the financial, shopping and gallery district, near the royal palace Amalienborg and Nyhavn harbor." Full review
Lonely Planet
"A block north of Nyhavn, Phoenix is one of the city’s more fastidious deluxe hotels and fairly hums with efficient (yet discreet) service."
Jetsetter

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
