Great hotel. Great location Fabulous hotel. Beautifully furnished with plenty of bold colors and decorative touches. We stayed over Halloween, and the hotel had plenty of tastefully decorated pumpkins scattered throughout. Our room, 238, was small but perfectly laid out. It had a comfortable double bed, two chairs, and a dressing table. The bathroom was nice, with a powerful shower, although it was difficult to keep all the water in the tub because the screen was a little small. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of seating. Coffee in thermoses on each table. Great selection of hot (pancakes, eggs, and sausages) and cold dishes. The staff worked hard to restock the buffet and clear plates. Located just 2 minutes from Central Station and its metro station as well. Vesterbro is a great neighborhood with lots of restaurants. It’s 10 minutes from Tivoli Gardens, which is a must-see. About a 30-minute walk to Nyhavn. I’d definitely go again and recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely great I’d stayed here before, so I didn’t hesitate to book again. It’s a good hotel, ideally located for transportation, shopping, and sightseeing. The room is clean and comfortable—I was delighted to have a proper kettle this time. The only minor downside was that breakfast was a bit chaotic—the staff were slow to restock the food, dishes, and cutlery. It was just before Halloween, and the hotel was cheerfully decorated with pumpkins. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m in Copenhagen.

Loved it Great hotel, very clean with lovely staff. The only downside is that the shower screen is too short, so water splashes out and the floor gets wet. They offer you the option to skip housekeeping, and in exchange you get a voucher for a free drink at the bar, toiletries, or discounted bike rentals. We chose the bar voucher and got a small and a large beer for free!! The location is near the train station

A comfortable hotel for a mini-break Convenient location within walking distance of the Meat Packing District, Tivoli, and the train station. We booked a Junior Suite that included a sofa bed for our daughter. The room had coffee and tea-making facilities, toiletries, a refrigerator, and a small balcony. The room was comfortable, spacious, cleaned daily, and had plenty of seating. We were in an inner courtyard, which was very quiet. Plenty of seating at breakfast, with a good selection for a mini-break. It was great to have a bar—it was fantastic. Good selection of drinks and excellent service.

A Wonderful Experience My stay at the Absalon Hotel was truly wonderful, and I honestly wish I could have extended my vacation! At last, I have found a four-star hotel that genuinely lives up to the expectations of a four-star rating. Everything was exactly as it should be: a very spacious and spotless room, excellent service, and great attention to detail. I particularly appreciated the hotel’s commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing waste. They offer guests rewards when they choose to skip housekeeping for one or more days, which I think is a great initiative. A special mention goes to the staff, who were always friendly, helpful, and willing to accommodate my needs. I’d especially like to thank the Italian gentleman at the front desk who welcomed me when I checked in (I’m afraid I can’t remember his name!). He was particularly kind and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options and plenty of food to choose from. Another big plus was the room temperature. After a week traveling around Scandinavia, where I’d experienced heating problems in some hotels, it was such a pleasure to return to a warm, comfortable room and finally feel completely at ease. Everything contributed to a fantastic experience. I would happily stay here again and would recommend this hotel without hesitation. A well-deserved 10 out of 10! Thank you for making my stay in Copenhagen so enjoyable!

Good location Great location for exploring Copenhagen! Literally a two-minute walk from the central station and within walking distance of just about everything. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the price was great for such a central location. The interior was a little dated, and the bathroom layout was slightly awkward, but nothing major. Overall, a great stay—I would definitely recommend it, especially for a short trip!

Decent hotel A decent hotel less than a 5-minute walk from Central Station and a good base for exploring the city. We had a standard room on the 3rd floor that met our needs; there was a bit of street noise, etc. The bed was comfortable, but getting in and out of the shower might be a challenge for people with limited mobility, as it’s literally in a bathtub—so you have to be careful getting your leg over the edge, and it’s quite high. The staff were pleasant and friendly as well. The hot breakfast options were limited to scrambled eggs, Danish sausage, pancakes, and toast. There was a good selection of cold cuts, etc., and plenty of bread and pastries. Would we stay again? Yes.

A great couple of days at the Absalon Hotel We loved the Absalon Hotel—the staff was helpful and friendly, the room was very clean and spacious for two people, and the breakfast was excellent in both quality and variety. The hotel is very centrally located for everything in downtown Copenhagen. My wife and I had a fantastic time at the Absalon Hotel and will definitely return sometime in the future.

Good location The hotel is in a good location on the street across from the main train station, so it’s great for getting to the airport, and there’s a 7-Eleven on the corner. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff is friendly. Breakfast didn’t have the widest selection, but everything you needed was there. The bar had a great selection of drinks, and you could get a voucher if you chose not to have your room cleaned. The elevator is designed to look like a bookshelf, and there’s a replica statue of The Little Mermaid at the bottom of the stairs. There are also tourist brochures and information available near the luggage room.
