Poor
The hotel’s main advantage is its location, but it is certainly not the only hotel in the area with a good location. There are plenty of other options nearby, so the location alone is not enough to make this hotel stand out.
What disappointed me most was the complete lack of flexibility regarding check-in and check-out. Check-out is strictly at 11:00 AM, while check-in is only at 2:00 PM. There is already a three-hour window to prepare the rooms, which seems more than sufficient, yet they were not willing to offer any flexibility at all. There was also no late check-out option available, which I consider a major downside. This kind of rigid policy can really limit your plans, especially when travelling. The breakfast was also very standard and extremely crowded. In the end, we preferred to have breakfast somewhere else rather than at the hotel. Overall, I am deducting points mainly because of how unhelpful they were regarding early check-in and late check-out. Apart from the location, there was nothing particularly special or memorable about the hotel that would make me choose it over the many other hotels in the same area. I would not stay here again.

Good location near station
Stale smell in corridors and room although both clean. Breakfast basic compared to other hotels in this price bracket.

Great location.
It’s a very big hotel and a bit of a rabbit warren

Centrally located, clean comfortable small room
Elevators were often busy so had to use stairs. Rolling luggage on a floor is tricky given ups and downs

Exceptional
The proximity to attractions (particularly tivoli), the train station and metro was excellent. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were worried about the location based on other comments about sex shops, but honestly it’s one shop across the road and it’s not a problem. We felt safe with our 4 year old, even when walking back to the hotel later at night. Breakfast was excellent and everything was refilled regularly. Our room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. We had a fantastic stay and would stay there again.
There was nothing we didn’t like.

Staff at reception very helpful. Good breakfast although limited selection of hot/savoury food. Good value for money.
Location close to train station but some homeless people on a few of the side streets. That can’t be helped and is unfortunate but made us a bit uncomfortable later in evening. Shower as an overhead unit above narrow bath not ideal - can be slippy/dangerous. Also small ledges to/from bathroom and throughout hotel made tripping a bit of a hazard.

We loved our stay here. It is well placed and within walking distance of the main attractions. The staff on reception (both Italian and Danish) were all very helpful in guiding us on the best places to visit. There are some nice bars close to the hotel and the bar in the hotel is cosy and welcoming.

Disappointing
I liked the courtyard.
It’s too old, the rooms are too small, the shower wasn’t built right, so the water leaked out. There was no room for suitcases and clothes. The lunch room was too small and couldn’t accommodate all the guests.

Lovely staff, good breakfast. Hotel was clean and modern.
Location is good for the train station, just be aware of the exotic dancing businesses opposite.
