Sustainable hotel with luxury experience
Wonderful facility with comfortable and modern amenities. The hotel fits in with the nearby industrial harbor environment as well as providing an inviting and pleasant atmosphere. The location is convenient to walk or bike to restaurants or the old town. We appreciated the many ways the hotel is operating sustainably including the keyless door system. We would stay here again.

Beware of hidden costs.
The hotel was really nice. It was the hidden fees that bothered us. It cost us $20 to park the car overnight. Breakfast cost us $50 ($25 a piece) even though hotels.com said there was only a fee for breakfast on weekends. We were there on a Tuesday. The breakfast buffet was good, but not worth that price. Hardly any fruit. The staff was kind. The room was small but nice.

The staff at Pier 5 were fantastic! The room was comfortable and clean, the tv had the mirroring function so we weren’t beholden to watching shows in Danish, a language we don’t know. Being right on the water was wonderful, there are great paths along the waterfront, good restaurants nearby, and historic sights within easy walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!

Hot and nosey
We found our room very hot and noisy. On the first floor the traffic woke us up on each morning. No window blinds which ment no privacy. Block across the road could see straight in.

Great stay. Comfortable bed. Modern furnishings. Great vibe at the bar in the evenings. Booking through a third party does not include breakfast. Hotel will not provide lotion or hair conditioner, but you can buy full bottles from reception (ridiculous). Shower gel and shampoo included.

Absolutely amazing hotel. Not only are the staff very welcoming and professional, but they really want to help and provide good service. One of our ovens broke in the studio room and a simple walk to the desk and our issue was solved in 5 minutes. What a wonderful experience it was.
