King Frederik Inn

8/10 Good
"There were many things about the property that were marvelous. One thing that was not was that the towels for the wash basin were not easily available for drying hands. The towels were hung on a round holder and folded beautifully but difficult to retrieve for use unless pulled beforehand and laid on top of the refrigerator, making picking them up for drying hands awkward because there was no space to place the tooth brush and toothpaste. This was awkward but not a dealbreaker. We enjoyed our stay immensely."

"The beds were super comfy and the rooms are spacious. The jetted bathtub in the room was very relaxing and filled up fast. We had cocktails next door at Victor which has a posh speak easy feel.
