Carlton 66 Guldsmeden

The hotel is around 1.2 kms from Central station Kobenhvn, so for accessibility I would give it full rating. May be with luggage, it could be tiring to walk, which happened with us, because most of the streets are cobblestone. But otherwise, you would enjoy walking , on the way, you could see some landmarks as well. Room was good, clean, sufficient for 2 people. The room we booked, didn't had any balcony, but they do have such options available. Also they have Caravan options, which are parked in a separate area within the property, but off course these are bit expensive. And the reason we didn't booked those, was, it would have been difficult to accommodate 2 suitcases and a backpack. But if i had lesser luggage, I would have definitely preferred it. Bathroom was also neat. Although we stayed only for 1 night, but I think for longer stays also, it would be preferable.

This boutique hotel is in the heart of the City and walkable to many lovely cafes and restaurants. The standard rooms are small and charming. Being eco-conscious was a draw. My only complaint is that the water trickled out of the small bathroom shower and seemed to lack reasonable water pressure. The sink was also easily clogged and not draining. When this issue was mentioned to the front desk, they seemed aware and mentioned the water pressure problem was worse on the 5th floor. Perhaps this was unique to our room. Overall a lovely hotel at a reasonable price.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Had a free room upgrade as my husband’s birthday and the room was very comfortable with fab toiletries. The bed was a little soft for my taste but this is just a preference. The area is great for restaurants and also walking distance to most attractions. We hired bikes from the hotel for the day which was really easy. Would definitely recommend.

Plus points of this hotel : 1. definitely location - it is close to center so in 10 -15 minutes walk you arrive to train station, Town Hall and then shopping road . Lovely Vientaneme and Mexican local restaurant just 10 meters away. 2. main areas such as reception and bar are having nice appearance with quirky design and lot of plants, pleasant, 3. they are showing they are sustainable , 4. 2 girls at reception were nice - not extremely service oriented but very pleasant and helped with requests , 5. bathroom amenities are sustainable and with very nice perfume (still does not justify price of 25EURO per bottle but was nice) Disliked · 1. room - the fact that it is small does not bother us as we are out a lot as every tourist. It was more that it was worn out (from all furniture to walls and tiles in bathroom ). Just a hanging hook shower curtain which also seemed old and really visually not appealing . 2 AC - perhaps our error but I sort of expected that 170USD per night covers AC as basic but it did not, only an old fashioned fan in the wardrobe (whose doors opens with some difficulty). Day time was really hot ( we were at top 5th floor under roof) , so we decided to go out whole day and at night was ok as start of September night temperature was around 18. Not sure how this was during hot july and august and if possible to sleep if hot. If no AC is a sustainability factor ( plus not wanting to invest in AC's) perhaps just they need to be clearer . 3. cleanliness - we arrived at 11;30 and room was ready at 3 pm as they were in cleaning process. That is fine, we used time to go out and start visiting city. We did get room after 3 pm however cleaning was not the greatest . Noticed hair in middle wardrobe cupboard , dust on the bottom one , tiles in bathroom not cleaned well or so aged that it is not possible. But next to the toilet there were white stains on tiles which were removable. Some training and better control suggested. Tissue box not replaced , left empty with few tissues at the bottom 3. TV was not connected also which we realized as the cable (with dust on) was hanging under the TV. We advised reception , somebody came within 1 hr to fix it. 4. elevator - very old elevator by the looks of it and way it functions - sort of jumps up and down whilst in use so a bit scary . Does not seem safe even though maybe it is , surely something to budget to change. 5. value for money - yes we did book on special rate of 170USD (so usually is more) and did not expect luxury but basic rooms are a tad too basic, some investment needed in rooms ( tiles, shower curtains, squeeky cupboard furniture) , AC, elevator and cleaning training We are rather easy going and like to try new things , but were bit disappointed. There was a feeling that either there were too much savings or hotel is not managed well in terms of maintanance and upkeeping. We are hoteliers , so just our opinion from that point of view. Could be really cute place though
