With enough dark, heavy wood to account for most of a forest, and antique portraits of stern-looking Danes, there's a very Victorian feel to this place. Rooms are posh and comfortable and if you face the courtyard you'll get a very peaceful sleep right in the heart of the city.Standard rooms have pinstriped walls and even more dark wood in the form of beautiful, ornate antique furnishings. The look is old-fashioned, sometimes floral, but always civilised. Deluxe doubles are not particularly different from standards except for the ones facing the courtyard; try for room 329, which is spacious and has an enormous bathroom. Hanging out in the lobby is like a trip back in time to a gentlemen's smoking club (without the smoke). Dating back to the 14th century, it all looks very genuine with the exception of the wood-panelled walls that more closely resemble the '70s. The rooftop terrace offers fantastic views. The inner courtyard has been glassed over and carpeted but the walls retain their original exterior facades. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Plunk down at a sidewalk table at Café Bjørg, just next door to the Kong Frederik. There's some great people watching to be had, along with good beer and burgers.
