A very good hotel for a city break. A very comfortable hotel, well located for exploring the city. Very close to the main train station, Tivoli Gardens, etc. The room was very clean, with tea and coffee making facilities and decent toiletries. The bar had a nice atmosphere in the evening. Two glasses of wine for around £10 isn’t bad. I was happy with the breakfast—cereal, yogurt, cold cuts, good breads, and pastries. Limited selection of hot food.

A fantastic hotel with genuine hospitality and top-notch quality! Absalon Hotel exceeded our expectations with genuine hospitality and top-notchquality—a well-run, classic hotel in the heart of Copenhagen. The overall experience is great, with thoughtful initiatives that also encourage more sustainable choices. For example, if you opt out of daily housekeeping, you can choose a discount at the bar or on bicycle rentals. Breakfast was excellent—relaxed, generous, and without the usual morning rush. A great stay!

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.
