Scandic Copenhagen

8/10 Good
"This is a good hotel and nicely located close to Tivoli. We had a junior suite on top floor and the views were great. Service in the restaurant was very slow. No fridge or minibar in room. No complimentary water in room. Room cleans need to be booked every day and then they did not provide clean glasses or cups. I’d stay again but there are simple things that could help make it better."
