Frommer's Review
In 1947 two developers purchased two late-19th-century apartment buildings that had survived the Nazi occupation and set out to gut them and turn them into hotel rooms. One of the owners told the press at the time, "We predicted that many tourists would return to Denmark after the war years and many of them would need a clean, respectable, but affordable place to stay." Those long-ago words still ring true today. As trendy, boutique hotels rise up almost yearly, the Saga is rather like it was when it was created, although it has kept up with the times with improvements such as Internet access. The five-story building still has no elevator and some of its rooms are still without a private bathroom. As such, it attracts groups of international visitors in summer and Danish student and convention groups in winter. The rooms are small to midsize, each furnished in Danish modern, and most are equipped with a private bathroom with tub/shower combo. The hotel is especially attractive to families in that it offers some very spacious units with three, four, or even five beds. A generous Scandinavian buffet breakfast is another temptation, and the hotel will also allow you to use its storage facilities at no extra charge.
