We've never seemed to be lucky with hotels in Copenhagen. OK, we may be choosy, but they never live up anywhere near our expectations. We expect the hotel to be designed for the paying customer; sadly, its designed for the Hotel. This one is definitely on the no-repeat list
What was most annoying (otherwise I will be here all day):
* the room was not so big, but OK, that's how it is
* the shutters kept coming down automatically with the sun, so you had to keep pressing the button to send them back up again
* you can't really unpack as there is nowhere to put your stuff; but they clearly assume you will only stay one night / have only a small suitcase
* no real hanging space, even for jackets or for a dress(es) to be hung, never mind coats. This is not even a business(man)'s hotel - see photo of wardrobe. Evidently, all women must now wear trousers?
* as for the shower - see photo - the doors are magnetic - great fun trying to get in and out - I'm not extra-large, but it was not easy, and made more difficult if your partner is using the basin beside it. And there are gaps, so water comes out on the floor (more towels please)
* there is no provision in the shower for your own toiletries; people do not necessarily want to use those provided for many reasons; putting them on the floor, then bending down to get them, isn't actually a solution; door in the way
* the towels are too small - yes, really; no bath, so no bath towels
* of course, they couldn't provide a double duvet (we asked), so you are left fighting the two stupid duvets, as ever
* then there was breakfast - there are 100s of seats (excellent)...but they were all full, and since no-one was clearing away (total mess), it was a struggle to find anywhere. When we did, at last, in a galaxy far, far away, I can confirm that the croissants were great
* even the bar was not a welcoming experience; and sooo slow
* concierge - hmm - you have to pay for storing your luggage; you go downstairs, find some empty lockers (large and small - what if things don't fit?), and you do it all yourself. There were guests from overseas. Having figured it out, we then had to help 2 families who had no idea what to do
* we mentioned all the above as we checked out - it was clear that the desk people had no idea what these rooms looked like, or perhaps, simply didn't appreciate why these were even issues
* finally, the payment system had hiccups - it could not differentiate between 2 payments made, as there were no references, so the bank queried if there had been a double payment; more queuing and waiting to get that sorted
