Great location! Bad area! and other Copenhagen, Denmark Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

We booked a triple room at Absalon Hotel for the Euro2008-qualification game Denmark-Sweden. Can't complain much about that decision.
The hotel is very centrally located, just about 150-200 meters from the Central Station. To Ströget it is about 5-10 minutes walk though, so if you want to be closer to there, you should pick something else.

Best thing otherwise with this hotel is the price. You can choose between two parts of the hotel, where the Annex is much cheaper. We paid 850 SEK (about 90 euro) for a triple room, and in a city like Copenhagen, where prices for a hotel is really high, it's a really good price!

In the Annex the bathroom and toilet are in the hall, but we were lucky enough, since the room wasn't ready when we got there, to become upgraded. So for the same price we got a triple room in the Hotel part instead, with toilet and bathroom in the room.

Thank you very much!

The room was fine, a bit small if you're looking for more than beds. We had a double bed, a single bed, and then a small table. Over the single bed there was a tv, with about 20-25 international (danish, swedish, CNN, BBC etc etc) channels. The room also included a water boiler, which was very nice. A nice cup of tea is never negative! :)

Both room and bathroom very clean.

The location is great, just around the corner from the central station. But the area is a bit... well... the view from the lobby is over three sex clubs, and the first person I met when I went outside the hotel at midnight was a girl asking "wanna have some fun, handsome...?".

Sure I did, but not the "fun" she was asking about... Headed off to the local pub instead, just 150 meter from the hotel. Much more fun. :)

Breakfast was included in the price, and it was full of danish sweets with lots of chocolate! The breakfast room was huge, divided into three parts. But despite us getting there shortly before closing time we still had to wait to get an empty table. Felt like half Copenhagen had gathered there to have breakfast.

Unique Qualities: The location, perfect if you arrive in Copenhagen with train. Much harder to find a parking spot though.

The only time I'll stay at a Hilton hotel will be when my job is paying for it... So, if anything, I should probably thank the danish hooligan that ran onto the pitch and hit the referee, as that made my boss send me back to Copenhagen (talk about doing a long story short...).

The Hilton hotel is located at the Kastrup Airport and is among the most luxury hotels I've ever stayed at. I got there very late, at 3am, and was fortunate enough to get a room at the highest floor, which is the 12th. The view from the room, over the airport, was quite a view!

Huge room, huge double bed, with a big tv, big working desk, a couple of chairs, and a very nice looking bathroom.

Over all, the whole hotel is huge. The lobby felt like the size of a football pitch and when you get out from the hall there is a huge "empty space circle" of about 50 meter long before you reach the elevators. And from there you can look all the way down to the lobby...

Not anything to do if you're afraid of hights...

Breakfast wasn't included in the price, but since we anyway only could sleep for three hours we decided it was better to sleep that extra half an hour, instead of paying extra for the breakfast.

The price for a single room was 1995 DKK, about 220 euro, so then again: this is not a hotel I'll choose when I have to pay for it...

The service was great though. The night receptionist spoke both danish, swedish and english, and after that I had no real reason to check if he knew any more languages...

Bathroom was very nice, although as I had no luggage I couldn't hide the Hilton dressing gown... Cried myself to sleep when I realised I had to leave it... :D

Unique Qualities: Very luxury, I felt like a king, despite having gone Copenhagen-Gothenburg-Copenhagen during 10 hours and still knew I would only be allowed to sleep for three hours before it was work time again...

The only bad thing is the location, in case you want to be close to the Copenhagen city center. It will take you about 15 minutes to go there by car.
If you instead will continue with a flight, it's a fantastic location!
