"Had to pay 500dkk/$75 (4 nights) for an upgrade as the initial room I was assigned had a very small toilet/shower area. Reception staff was welcoming and helpful. The hotel is walking distance to a supermarket and train station. Loved my upgraded room especially the modern bathroom. The microwave and coffee machine (20dkk$2 per small cup) are of great use. Be aware that there is no AC in any room. Will stay here again as the airport is just 3 minutes via the train."
