Fabulous staff A very welcoming hotel with the most amazing staff I've ever encountered. No request is too much trouble, and everything is handled in the most pleasant way.

Lovely hotel in a great location Lovely hotel with very helpful staff. Brilliantly located just a short walk from the metro, train station, and Tivoli. Breakfast had a limited selection, but it was enough for us. The pillows are a strange square shape; we asked for extra pillows and slept much better with two.

A good, traditional hotel in Copenhagen. A beautiful, classic-style hotel that’s comfortable and in a great location. A lovely breakfast room with sofas and tables—even for large groups—and a wide selection of sweet and savory options. Special thanks to Francesco at the front desk, who was incredibly kind and helpful; he recommended places to eat and things to see. Overall, a really good hotel; I would definitely return.

Perfect Stay in Copenhagen This charming hotel is a gem, and I highly recommend it. First, the hotel is in a great location, very close to Copenhagen Central Station. This makes it very convenient to travel to and from Copenhagen Airport. The rooms are cute, brightly colored, modern, and comfortable. Moreover, the room was spotless and very clean. There was little noise, and the hotel offered great value, especially considering you get a buffet every morning with a variety of breakfast items—croissants, cereal, meat, cheese, yogurt, jam, etc. The staff was friendly, and check-in was a breeze. I will definitely stay there again on my next trip to Copenhagen.

Great Hotel What a fabulous place to stay. A 2-minute walk to the train station and very close to Tivoli Gardens. The Green concept is a great idea. We chose not to have our room cleaned on 4 out of 6 days and received a bar voucher. Breakfast was good. There was a good variety of options, from croissants to cereal to eggs—something for everyone. The staff are so lovely and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Stay The Absalon Hotel is in a great location, just a few minutes’ walk from Copenhagen Central Station, the Metro, and Tivoli Gardens. It has a friendly atmosphere, and the staff are all so kind and helpful. We stayed in one of the Absalon Rooms, which was just right for us as a couple; it was very clean, and we liked the Green Concept. We also had the option to “skip” daily housekeeping in exchange for a gift. We found the room very comfortable, as well as nice and quiet. Breakfast offered a good selection, including dairy-free and gluten-free options. Great value for money.

Returning to Copenhagen after a 47-year absence, and I wasn’t disappointed. A very clean hotel located a few minutes’ walk from Tivoli Gardens in the city center. A friendly, family-run hotel with excellent and very helpful staff; I spent two days there after cruising through the Northern Baltic countries. They have a good system for storing luggage before and after check-in, using a key card system controlled by the front desk. This provides peace of mind against theft. Breakfast is served from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and from 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, offering plenty of options. The breakfast was first-class and plentiful enough to ensure a great start to the day. There was a variety of rolls, cold cuts, cheeses, and salad vegetables. Plenty of cereal options, yogurts, fresh fruits, and melon. Danish pastries—fresh and hot—and a wide selection of breads. Pancakes, sausages, bacon, scrambled and boiled eggs. There’s plenty to see and do on foot, or you can take the hop-on, hop-off bus or water taxi. Eating out is very affordable, and there’s plenty of choice. Prices are in Danish kroner, and the exchange rate is roughly 9 DKK to the pound. The highlight was the light show at Tivoli Gardens, and I revisited the house where I worked from 1997 to 1999.

Perfect location and great rooms! Location: Outstanding This hotel was perfectly located right next to the central station and within walking distance of everything you’d want to visit on a quick trip to Copenhagen. Atmosphere: Good The atmosphere in the common areas was good; the bar was a little lackluster, but not enough to complain about. Rooms: Great The room was a decent size with an okay view; the amenities were great, as will be discussed. Cleanliness: Great Everything was kept clean, both in the rooms and in the common areas, with staff walking around tidying up as they went. Noise: Not great In my room, I could not only hear the room next door but also all of their conversations and footsteps, and I could occasionally hear people in the hallway. Furthermore, due to its prime location, the hotel is on a busy and noisy street, and the noise can be heard quite distinctly from the rooms both day and night. Amenities: Outstanding Amenities included: an en-suite bathroom (with a lock on the door—which isn’t standard in many European hotels), high-quality Wi-Fi (available throughout the entire building), an in-room mini-fridge, a kettle, coffee and tea bags, a TV, soap, and cotton swabs. All high-quality, yet often underappreciated features in a hotel room! However, the breakfast was restocked slowly; I often went up only to find no plates or certain types of food available. Definitely worth the money!

Excellent hotel in Copenhagen! This is an excellent hotel! We were upgraded to a suite—the “best room in the hotel,” according to the front desk staff. It was superb! The room itself was awesome, and we had a great experience with the entire hotel. Breakfast was great! The staff was super helpful; they recommended dinner spots for us every night, and each one was exactly what we wanted. The hotel’s location is perfect for a first-time visit to Copenhagen for sightseeing. Highly recommended!
