Grand Hotel Copenhagen

Hotel is one block from the front of the Central Station - turn back in the direction the train came in from if you are coming from the airport. We unfortunately left the back of the station and had to walk down several blocks of cobblestone streets to find the hotel. The staff did provide us with a ferry brochure but directions were brief and incomplete. We did have a map so found our way ok on our own. They also loaned us a converter plug for our laptop. The room was small and there were 2 very small half bathrooms: one with small sink and toilet and the other was a tiled shower room with sink and a shower curtain to block water from ruining the door. The hotel was clean was probably very elegant in its time but could use a facelift.

The hotel is at the heart of the city, next to the central train station and next to Tivoli. The breakfast is good, however the room is small and the bathroom is even smaller.

This hotel has a totally inaccurate perception of itself. The dumpiest 4 star...the smallest bathroom ever (and I've seen lots of small ones); tiny room, old and banged up furniture; electrical wiring pasted to the (very ugly) wall.

Stayed for one night in May. Received a free upgrade to a junior suite! Vesterbrogade is a busy street so street noise can be a issue. Breakfast was good. Very close to Copenhagen central station and Tivoli.

Location is great if you need to use trains or want to stroll the city center. I was also able to check in early without extra charge. But although the hotel claimed to be non-smoking, I ended up coming back home with suitcase full of cigarratte smoke-soaked cloathes and will pay a hefty dry-cleaning bill because of this. The smoke was especially bad in some of the evenings or at nights. When I complained and asked at least for airfreshner (I don't know if the hotel can pinpoint & 'catch' the smokers), I was brought a bottle of something that was to do the deed but turned out to be a window spray that I happily wetted my carpet and curtains with just to disguise the stench. In this battle against evil smells, I also ran out of my perfumes, so maybe the hotel could stock up on those in all guest rooms. Needless to say, I won't ever return. I had plenty of good feedback from colleagues of a new hotel called Wake Up.

This hotel was very centrally located to the main train station, Tivoli Gardens, a large visitor information center and Hop-On-Hop-Off sightseeing bus point. Knowing exactly how small our room was would have helped, and we would have then chosen a different type of room. The location & cleanliness, though, cannot be faulted. The management was not friendly nor unfriendly, just ho-hum.

I would probably shop around before immediately taking this hotel again if in Copenhagen. Location is real good, but other hotels have this too. This had nice buffet breakfast for reasonable extra charge (reasonable for copenhagen). Room is small, but this is big city europe also.

Not bad, not bad at all

Yes, it's built in 1879, and didn't much changed since... It's very basic hotel in the center of Copenhagen. Old building, small rooms, very old furniture not in the best shape, no AC (OK, it's Denmark, not Caribbean, but in Summer sometimes it's hot). Room has shower and toilet, there is TV and telephone; that's about it. Not even an alarm clock; for wake up call, you have to ask at reception, they put your request in the book, and then don't call anyway... Rooms are clean and made daily. It's acceptable place to spend a night or two, nothing more.

Great access to the train station, some historical appeal, but otherwise I would recommend staying away. My room was directly next to a busy street, which was not an issue until it got really hot, there was no AC in my room, and I had to open the windows for air. Do you want noise or heat? Very poor water pressure in the shower. Lots of prostitutes walking around the area late at night. The Hotel does not have any Do Not Disturb signs, so expect frequent, unsolicited knocks on your door in the morning. Other than that everything was great!!
