The staff are friendly and very helpful. the location is great (very close to dam square).
The room (number 40) was extremely small and quite dark as there was only a small window and was expensive (£100 per night- not helped by low exchange rate) bathroom was also very small. breakfast could have had more variety- cheese rolls every day.

Fantastic location, convenient to all areas of the city. the staff were really helpful and friendly.the room was very clean and fresh towels were available daily. we had a brilliant time and we would stay there again.
The room was quite small for the price, but it was fine for the amount of time we spent in it.

We stayed in the second building of the hotel wich have 4 floors. unfortunately no lift and lot of stairs...even if i felt like a princess in the tower, at the end of the day it was very difficult to walk up 4 floors without remaining breathless!

For a lower end of the budget hotel, this is certainly one of the better options, great location
Small bathroom, when sittin on the toilet my chin rested on the sink. quite handy if you'd like to clear your bowels and brush your teeth at the same time.

The staff were very friendly, the beds were very comfortable and the location was ideal. i'd recommend a stay at the hotel
We were on the top floor, the stairs weren't bad for us but i could see them being a problem to people with health problems etc..
