View from the entrance of Scandic.

Can't beat the location. Across the plaza from Tivoli. Adjacent to the strøget pedestrian street with all the major shopping and canal tours. Can't beat the service and breakfast. We stay here every year and never disappointed. The train from the CPH airport drops you off in front of the Scandic! Rådhuspledsen train stop.

We stayed here for CPH Pride. AMAZING location that gave us some quiet time adjust the crowds but in a PERFECT location when we were ready to party again. Yea it was loud but per city ordinance everything stop partying at 11:45pm. So if you're cool with that, this is the spot for you. THE BREAKFAST ALONE WAS FIVE STARS! Incredible way to start your day. Our only gripe was the shower situation, the water pressure was not the best and difficult to navigate the set up.

What an appropriate name for this hotel, it's prominently located in the city. I must have passed by it every day several times. It's palatial and regal looking from the outside. I would love to stay there my next visit to Copenhagen for sure. It's centrally located to many tourist stops, shops, cafes, restaurants, Nyhaven and wherever.

At the bar. Jacobsen brown ale and chili nuts.

This is a very nice Historic hotel in the heart of the City of Copenhagen. The hotel has charm and most of the exterior is maintained to keep its original appearance. The hotel sits between the town hall courtyard and shopping and fine dining. So there are tons of places to eat and things do. The Tivoli amusement park and museum is across the street as well as Hans Christian Anderson statues and other historical figures. Inside the hotel, it is fairly modern. It houses a nice, but cozy bar. Ample dining room, and gym in basement. If you are use to Marriott's or Hilton's, this hotel is a level or two below that, but still very nice. The rooms are modern but little dusty. Beautiful crown molding in rooms, but no one seems to clean them. The gym is small and he older equipment, but works. Overall, the place is nice and great for weekend getaways, tour trips, and work.

Finding a decent hotel in Copenhagen seemed challenging in the summer and we ending up settling with the Scandic Palace Hotel which was $300 a night. The hotel is centrally located and close to major sites and shopping. It has modern feel and the rooms are updated. The room and bathroom are tiny but pretty normal by European standards. So small in fact that when you open the door of the hotel room, you can see the toilet paper in your line of sight from the bathroom. Toiletries are Face Stockholm and come in giant pumps. Oddly, they also had some other random shampoo/conditioner in bottles with a different brand as well. Note that if you require additional amenities such as a toothbrush, you must purchase it downstairs in their kiosk. The bathroom can only accommodate one person at a time (unless the other person is inside the bath tub). The shower is a hand held that can be mounted and adjusted. Note that it sprays everywhere so pretty much the toilet and the floor will be sprayed with water after a shower. The bed and pillows were comfy and the room was set for just the right temperature. You can hear the clock tower hourly but the sound was not as bad as we expected based on reviews. The hotel offers a free complimentary breakfast with a variety of cereals/granola, breads, cheese/cold cuts, bacon, eggs, pastries. It is a decent spread but be aware that this hotel appears to host a lot of tour groups. On a couple occasions the breakfast area/lobby was swarming with people which was a bit chaotic. There is a gym that has a decent amount of equipment on the 1st floor.

Breakfast buffet

Spent 1 night post-cruise in a superior plus room. The room was comfortably appointed with a king size bed and pull out sleeper sofa. There were several available electrical outlets by the king bed nightstand & at the desk/table by the TV. Room was well kept and clean. Room was also quiet throughout the day and night; no noise from neighboring rooms. Room had a small balcony that opened out onto the square. Wifi connection worked well in all areas of the room. Hotel location was excellent as it was in the heart of the city and there were many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Breakfast: excellent! Served buffet style with a variety of hot foods (eggs/meats) and cold foods (cheeses, fruits, pastries, breads, cereals, and yogurt). The coffee machine worked so well, I wish I could have taken it home. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful-arranged our fixed rate taxi back to the airport the following morning. Bellman was prompt to deliver our bags at check in.

Absolutely the best location walking distance to everything. Great views, spacious rooms some with walk-in showers. Fantastic breakfast included with room rate. Have stayed here twice and staff was excellent both times.

I had a cool balcony

This hotel is pretty cool. it is not cheap, but that's how things are in Copenhagen. You are definitely going to want to upgrade your room. The ones on the top floor are the ones you want. Free breakfast is pretty damn good. They have an original elevator that is pretty cool also so don't get freaked out by it. Lastly, most of the spots you want to go to are walking distance. Otherwise go rent a bike like a local. FYI, the FOREX at the train station has the best exchange rate. Check out my pics!

Main entrance in early evening.

From the masterminds behind Copenhagen staple bar7, this is its "little sister", but she isn't…read moresmall and cute - rather, she's just as grown-up, elegant, and posh as her older sibling. The location is absolutely prime, right in the center of the city on Nikolaj Plads, just a 5min walk from Kongens Nytorv. The interior is upscale and decadent, with leather sofas and armchairs, a bunch of crystal mirrors on the back wall, and a couple of silver and copper bull heads on another. As I'm writing, I cannot remember what the music was like, which I'm taking to mean that it was fitting very well and not so loud as to hinder a conversation. The staff was very friendly, happy to provide more info on the drinks, and give a recommendation. Like at bar7, you order at the bar and pay immediately - I think it would fit the atmosphere better to be served at the table and pay in the end, but I understand that's hard to do when it's crowded and people come and go all the time. I don't know if they keep credit card tabs open, I wasn't asked if I wanted to, and didn't ask for it either. Now, the most important part - the drinks! I started out with a glass of champagne. When it was served, I was told it was from an open bottle so if it was too flat, I should just let them know and they'd of course open a new one. Good service - although the bubbles were just fine! Their cocktail menu is comprehensive and has some classics from bar7, like the "Blueberry Bitch", some general cocktail classics, like a Pisco Sour, and their own, decadent and tasty creations. My absolute favorite was the Tour de Fizz, a concoction of vodka, passion fruit and vanilla, with a thick egg white foam - not a drink, but pretty much a dessert (it even comes with a spoon!). Yum!! The descriptions of the drinks are mouth-watering and fun - example: "Girl, tonight is the night we make love. How do I know? Because it's Wednesday, and Wednesday is the night we make love!" :) Prices for the cocktails range from DKK 85-120, which is completely in line with the general price level for cocktails in Copenhagen, and you get a good bang for your buck here. I'll be back soon!

I visited Bar25 with fellow Yelpers on a YelpSocial event. It was a very nice evening indeed, but…read moreI'm not sure Bar25 is my kind of joint. Therefore, my review might be colored by my mixed feelings about the place. First of all, my drink was great. I had an almost healthy tasting sake and gin based drink called Geisha Garden, with a nice hint of ginger and green tea. Delicious and made with the outmost care by the very professional bartender. And we got to try some 23 year old rum, which was yummy, but for serious contenders. The prices were quite steep, but then the drinks are very varied and interesting, as well as being made with dedication. Oh, and there's one called "Business Thyme" with a great reference to Flight of the Concords. I almost gave five starts just because of this. I was surprised at how lively Bar25 was for such an early time in the evening (we were there before 7), so I'm guessing it has really hit the spot when it comes to those who find themselves a bit thirsty for a drink after work and who are eager to start the weekend in style. For the place is very stylish indeed. For me, it's a bit too much. There are shiny things, wooden things, bricks, leather, brass, retro lamps and sci-fi like bath rooms, all going on at once. As a whole, it didn't quite work for me, but the bar area itself was kinda cool. With the very indecisive music (a mix of a lot of different styles and vibes), my overall impression of the place was a bit schizophrenic. The clientele was a mix between really young and more mature, making me in my mid-twenties feel a bit out of place. It didn't matter too much, though, since I was surrounded by lovely Yelp-people.
