Returning to Copenhagen after a 47-year absence, I was not disappointed. A very clean hotel located just 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 a cruise through the Northern Baltic countries. The hotel has 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 lots of different types of bread. 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 getaway to Copenhagen. Atmosphere: Good The atmosphere in the common areas was good; the bar was a little lackluster, but nothing to complain about. Rooms: Great The room was a decent size with an okay view; the amenities were great—more on that later. Cleanliness: Great Everything was kept clean in the rooms as well as 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 traffic can be heard quite clearly 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, soaps, and cotton swabs. All high-quality, yet often underrated features for 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!

A Copenhagen star! My friend and I recently went to Copenhagen for a few days. When we arrived from the station, the hotel was easy to find. We were made to feel so welcome, and our room was great. Breakfast was delicious, and all the staff were kind and helpful. The hotel was clean and quiet. I can't recommend it highly enough.

A large hotel. With boutique-style service. This hotel feels like a boutique hotel thanks to its service and staff, who are always helpful and friendly, even though it takes up almost half a city block. The decorative details are beautiful. The breakfast is very good and can be enjoyed outdoors.

Great hotel for visiting Copenhagen —the Absalon Hotel is conveniently located next to the train station. The rooms are spacious and feature air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a refrigerator. The rooms are very clean. The staff is extremely friendly. They were a great help with dining recommendations and hailing a taxi. Breakfast was complimentary and offered a wide selection of food, including vegan smørrebrød with vegan cheese and vegan deli slices. Our room faced the courtyard. We didn’t hear any noise from other guests or from outside. We recommend staying at this hotel.

Family Room We had a great stay here during our week in Copenhagen. The hotel is centrally located near the train station, yet it manages to be quiet and not too noisy. The courtyard was a nice spot for a drink and some snacks. We stayed in a family room, and the space was adequate—we managed just fine. The shower was a bit temperamental, and unless you were careful, it would soak the bathroom. There was an air conditioner that we ran overnight to keep the room at a comfortable temperature for sleeping. The reception staff were always really helpful, and they let us check in a little early and check out a little late, which made our stay even easier. Breakfast can get hectic—don’t go during peak hours—but do head downstairs and use the second self-service area there for a quieter experience. There’s a coffee pot on every table. The coffee is okay; I didn’t ask for a latte, so I’m not sure if they serve them. They do have teapots and tea bags for those who prefer tea.

A decent hotel in a convenient location. We chose the Absalon for its air conditioning (in the superior rooms) and its proximity to the central train station and nice restaurants. We were glad to have the AC, as temperatures were in the low 80s at the end of July. The bed was comfortable, the breakfast was very good, and the staff was very helpful. They helped us with the public transportation app and arranged for a very nice taxi driver when we were heading to the cruise terminal. The lighting in the bathroom could have been better, and the cleanliness of the elevators needs to be addressed. There’s a lovely bar with comfortable indoor seating, as well as an outdoor courtyard with seating. All in all, a nice place to stay. Be sure to make reservations for the restaurants you want to visit.

I would recommend this place and would definitely stay here again. We were exhausted, hot, and hungry when we arrived. We checked in easily, took a shower, and immediately fell asleep on the crisp, white, clean bed with climate control. Then we woke up and found amazing vegan food at the end of the block, about a 2-minute walk from the hotel. The front desk staff were professional, friendly, helpful, and had a sense of humor. What more could you ask for?
