Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Hortus enjoys a super location near a big park, where guests often wake up to the sound of birds. Tram 14, just a couple of minutes away, provides direct access to Central Station and Dam Square, making it easy to explore. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, some equipped with a fridge, while others mention that the walls can be a bit thin. The building itself has a beautiful façade in a very green area.

friendly staff excellent location comfy bed good facilities
I found the staff friendly. The woman who checked me in was SUPER helpful. She sorted everything out for me quickly. The location is excellent. It has a real local feel. I loved the comfy bed and the good facilities in the room.
The staircase was very steep, I think it might be difficult for people with lots of luggage or mobility issues.
