"Great property to stay at. Metro stop within 5-10 minutes walking distance and takes 10 minutes to get into the city center. Rooms were spacious for European standards. The rooms had amazing views and were clean and modern, but some ware. The breakfast buffet was very good, but overpriced. Overall, great place to make a base for any visit to Copenhagen."
