Arrival: This was the first (and last) hotel we stayed at as part of a 13 day “Highlights of Scandinavia” Trafalgar Cost Saver trip. As such we didn’t have to deal directly with the staff for check-in. The staff however organised our rooms quite promptly and we were checked in within minutes.
Location: The hotel is situated a fair way out of Copenhagen on a fairly busy main road and next door to a large Service Station. There’s plenty of parking, seeing as this essentially is a very large motel. There is a small supermarket and a McDonalds across the road from the service station and if you cross the main road at the lights (120m from hotel) there’s a bus stop where the bus 1A stops and for 28 DKK pp you can take a 20 min trip into the centre of town.
Accommodation: The hotel is seven stories high and on our first stay, we were lucky enough to get a top floor unit facing the back neighbours (a very serene neighbourhood of small houses). Second time around we were also on the back of the hotel but unfortunately stuck in a 2nd floor room overlooking the tar roof of another part of the hotel, which butted directly up against our room. The rooms both had timber flooring (both needing a good mop, looked like they had only ever been dusted and not very well) in a fairly small bedroom which really only had just enough room for a small table and two chairs. The walls and ceiling also needed a good clean and the lamp shades 2nd time around were quite badly stained. The beds and pillows were both very comfortable, although the extra pillow (cover) in the cupboard of the first room was very mouldy. The rooms also contained a small bar fridge stocked with a few supplies ie Coke 25cl – 22DKK & Spirits 5cl – 49DKK. All other linen and towels were clean. The showers both had mould in the corners, however the pressures and heat were ok to good. The bathroom on our second stay however was a bit of a mess, with the toilet flush pad completely missing from the wall meaning having to reach inside the wall cavity to press on the plastic arm in order to flush the toilet. The hand basin had many cracks and 3 quite large burn marks from cigarettes. The only nice aspect was the hinged shower screen door, which contained the shower spray very nicely and then swung into the shower area to give more room in the bathroom. We also happened to stay the second time during a bit of a heat wave and with no air conditioning, there was no way to cool the room down (the tar roof outside the window didn’t help much with the small breeze we did get through). Don’t expect tissues, do expect liquid soap, hair dryer and TV and a bit of noise from the neighbouring rooms.
Food: We only had breakfast here, twice. First time around we were really very surprised at how good it was. Unfortunately the second time we entered just after the feeding frenzy of another tour group had departed. Dirty tables and dishes everywhere and virtually nothing to eat. It took the staff another 15 min to start clearing the mess up and after 30min we left and still hardly any food had been replenished. This really was very disappointing after the first days breakfast, which really was very good in quality, quantity and variation.
Service: Make sure you lock the door from the inside when ever you stay as we had the Mini Bar checker barge into the room, no knocking and no apology.
Overall: Not a place I’d choose to stay but we’ve been to a lot worse and for a couple of one night stays as part of a tour, I could put up with the lack of room cleanliness.
Tip: If you’re considering doing this tour and want to see reviews of other hotels, the next hotel we stayed at was Scandic Kungens Kurva, (of course by myself - GR8FUN).
