"This was the best hotel I have ever been to, the breakfast was delicious, good range and vegan friendly (and gluten free options), everything labelled clearly. The hotel clearly values sustainability- food waste and general rubbish bins in the bedroom, plus recycling available outside the rooms. Comfy beds and sofa bed set up for us ahead of our arrival. Well equipped kitchen (fridge off on arrival, love the sustainability there!), and smart tv for chrome cast/airplay. Speaker in room. Good wifi. Lovely decor. Kind and helpful staff. Gym was small but well equipped and clean. Sauna was out of order but would be a lovely amenity in sure. Love it and will be back!!"

"This hotel had everything we needed and wanted and especially as our first stay after a long and grueling travel day(s) where our flight was cancelled and we had to scramble to get to Denmark at all. To come to a hotel with friendly and helpful staff with all the amenities we needed was wonderful! Our family of 4 (two kids: ages 4 and 6) stayed in a room with one double bed and a set of murphy twin bunk beds (pulls out of wall). We all slept well! It was second floor (called first floor in Denmark) and we sleep hot but the window opened and had the feature where you can latch it open just a crack (safety with little kids is important) so the temperature was great! Bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, soap so that was really nice. Everything was clean, the room and surroundings were quiet. Breakfast the next morning had many great options for both us and our kids. Parking was also simple/easy."
