Tivoli Hotel
Hotel is large and has good amenities. Very nice pool and services. The play area was brilliant. The family room could be a little bigger, have space to store clothes, and I personally don't like the square pillows they use, otherwise it was lovely and we enjoyed our time there.

Scandic Spectrum
We had a lovely stay here. The room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The location was brilliant being not too far from the main train station, and having bus stops a few minutes away. It's a lovely hotel that I would absolutely stay at again.

Wakeup Copenhagen Bernstorffsgade
First floor, street side is noisy. Street side rooms are small. Recommend the larger room. Overall, great value and comfortable beds. Breakfast option is ok, but better breakfast options elsewhere. Convenient, yes….but better Danish breakfast options are nearby. The pastries at breakfast were lame. ...
