Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Authentic mid-century modern furniture in every room (Wegner, Juhl, Jacobsen)
- Daily complimentary wine hour in the retro lobby
- Unbeatable location steps from Tivoli Gardens and City Hall
Snel Overzicht: A stunning time capsule of 1950s Danish cool that unfortunately sits on one of Copenhagen's loudest boulevards.
Beoordeeld door @shakespeareagency:Β I felt like I traveled back in time staying here! The vintage Danish furniture makes the room so cozy, and I loved sipping wine in the lobby before heading out. Itβs right in the center of everything, so the energy is amazing. Definitely request a city view room!

Reality check
The 'retro' aesthetic is authentic, which means some furniture shows genuine wear and tearβit's not a pristine, sterile hotel.
- You are a design nerd who knows the difference between a Chieftain Chair and an Egg Chair
- You want to be in the absolute center of the action
- You appreciate a social lobby culture with free wine and vinyl records
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though vintage furniture can sometimes trap dust in crevices.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but older fixtures; grout is usually scrubbed well but wear is visible.
- Maintenance: Good overall, but expect some creaky floorboards and worn fabric on the 60-year-old chairs.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, typical hotel quality.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh, with a hint of old wood/furniture polish in the lobby; no cigarette smoke issues.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there air conditioning?
Most rooms have AC, but some smaller 'Standard' or 'Superior' singles may only have fans. Explicitly request an AC room if visiting in summer.

Do they have an elevator?
Yes, there is a small, retro-style elevator that services all floors.
