Location is very good, just ten minutes walk from Radhuspladsen and Copenhagen Central stations with easy access to all the places you want to visit. My wife liked this hotel, but unfortunately I didn’t quite so much. I found the boutique style just a bit sterile: the bar and restaurant are at level -1, so the entrance area is always very quiet and unpopulated. There is a break out room off the reception desk, which is invariably empty: I felt it would have been improved by removing the portioning wall and opening it out into one larger space. The offer of a City/Tourist map on arrival would have been welcome, although we saw that complimentary Glogg was provided and we helped ourselves: a nice touch in the run up to Christmas. We were also given a voucher for a (large) glass of sparkling English wine, which was delicious and generous. My main disappointment was the room. You need a degree in electrical engineering to work out the lighting - I don’t have one, so couldn’t. The lighting design is ridiculous and I twice banged my head on the lights hovering above the bed despite my best efforts to manoeuvre them out of the way. I also managed to walk into the metal four poster frame during the night. The walls are thin and the sound of our neighbours walking around at night felt like they were coming into my room. This wasn’t helped by the door having no lock, so I found it hard to relax and get to sleep. The bathroom is compact but smart and modern. If you move all the bits and pieces out of the way, there is enough storage space for your toiletries. The shower was really good. The heating was generous but blocked out by the full length curtains which covered the radiator vents, somewhat defeating the object. There are no blinds so we had to draw the curtains for privacy as we were on the ground floor, right next to the street. Everywhere is very modern and well maintained. Housekeeping, not done on our first day, was comprehensive on our remaining days. The bed was spacious and extremely comfortable. My pre-selected MB preference for foam pillows was unfortunately not recognised. Despite my MB status in being eligible for a complimentary upgrade, none was offered. I understand this was because the hotel is an affiliate of the MB group and not a group member. Or something like that. Even so, I felt a little disappointed. On departure, I was thanked for staying but not asked how my stay was. These are small, trivial things but it's what sets apart the good from the really good. In summary, the hotel was very comfortable, smart, quiet and clean. It carries an air of calm exclusivity, as you would expect at £300 p/n. The photos on the website are very accurate. I felt that the Nobis is fairly pricy but it is a stylish and smart property and will satisfy guests who are less hard to please than I am.
