Amy Adejokun Section editor

The three star Danmark Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in the city and it shows. The entire hotel is in bad need of a refurbishment as the decor is extremely old fashioned. So if you are after a bit of old-school Denmark before Arne Jacobsen played his hand at design (so before the 1960s), then this is the place for you. Like most hotels in the Danish capital, there is no restaurant serving lunch and dinner although it does have a partnership with the establishment next door. The hotel is centrally located two minutes from Radhuspladsen from where you can walk to most places.

    Location 7.23 /10

    The hotel is located on Vester Vorgade, which runs right passed the capital's main square, Radhuspladsen, where you will find the city's town hall and the landmark hotel, Radisson Royal. There are a number of bars and restaurants in the area although they are a little on the expensive side and not necessarily of good quality. The hotel is just 5 minutes' walk from the Dansk Design Centre (not to be confused with the Design Museum on Bredgade near Ny Haven) and from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, which has a good collection of paintings and sculptures - not to be confused with the Carlsberg Museum in Frederiksberg. Ten minutes' walk away you'll find Tivoli Gardens and Central Station.

    Accommodation 5.70 /10

    There are 88 rooms in total none of which are of the exact same shape and size as the building dates back to the 1790s and was transformed into a hotel in the 1980s; in spite of this it has the aspect of a residential home. The decor of the rooms looks like it dates back to the 1700s. It is described as 'authentic Danish'. However, if eerie Victorian portraits of noblemen and women smiling coyly aren't your thing then stay away. The carpets are stained and the soft furnishings dated - the hotel is dire need of a refurbishment. The furniture is on the garish side and there is no air conditioning as the building is listed and therefore could not be installed. For a breath of fresh air be careful when you open the rickety windows. As the hotel is situated in a fairly busy area though, it can be a bit noisy at times if you leave your windows open. As in most hotels in the Danish capital the double bed in made up of two single mattresses with two single duvets - this is a Scandinavian tradition however. The advantage is that there are well-placed sockets, meaning that you can work on your laptop and charge your phone without having to move furniture to find somewhere to plug them in. Some bathrooms have bath tubs and others have showers, so if you are particularly fond of one or the other, do place a request when you book. The hotel, like the other establishments part of the chain, encourages its guests to reuse towels as much as possible. All bathrooms have a hair dryer. There is no mini-bar or safe in the rooms.

    Otherwise there are several room categories including singles, small doubles, standard doubles, double superiors and junior suites. The main difference between the categories is size and view.

    Overview 5.70 /10

    The hotel comprises two separate buildings linked by an exterior courtyard. The main building, where you will find the reception, dates back to the 1790s whereas the second was built in the 1980s. The decor doesn't differ greatly however. In terms of interior decor do not expect to be graced by some of that swanky minimalist design the Danes are renowned for! The style is 'ancient Danish', meaning that it looks like it hasn't been changed since well before the 60s, when the design boom hit. The reception is in the breakfast room, which is small and where there can be a queue during busy mornings. The decor here is also fairly uninspiring but this part of the hotel has been renovated recently to make it a little cosier. The hotel is comfortable and fairly clean. Unlike most hotels in Copenhagen, there is no Wi-Fi here in the rooms, but there is complimentary internet access via Ethernet cable. For warmer days there is a small exterior courtyard with tables and chairs. Otherwise in terms of facilities there is a computer that is free for guests to use by the lift in the main building.

    Food and drink 5.70 /10

    Like most three star hotels in the city, the hotel only has a breakfast bar at reception. Although appearances may be deceptive, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the breakfast on offer. You won't find bacon and eggs, but you will find fresh fruit, brown bread and red berry smoothie. Guests are welcome to have breakfast in the courtyard or at a table just outside the hotel. The bar is open most of the day for guests wanting to have a coffee break. There is a restaurant on the corner of the block which can be accessed directly from the hotel, where most guests tend to eat as it is convenient, but as there are over 600 restaurants of very high quality all over the city, we cannot say that you aren't spoilt for choice. In this old style Danish pub you will find a range of dishes from burgers to the typical Danish open sandwiches, 'Smorrebrod'.

    To know

    Like most hotels in the city, check-in isn't until 2:00pm, but if you arrive early and your room isn't ready, you can store your luggage in the hotel's luggage room. This is usually safe, but it is at your own risk and reception does not store any valuables behind the desk. The Danmark Hotel is part of Brochner Hotels, which also includes the Ibsen, the Fox and the Kong Arthur.

      • Location 7.95

      The First Hotel Kong Frederik is a sleek and stylish hotel with a townhouse atmosphere, situated right by Radhuspladsen in the city centre. The service is friendly and efficient and the hotel design is based on an old British library. The hotel is painted black inside and is built around a small atrium. The rooms are spacious enough for a city centre hotel and the hotel also has a gastro pub worth trying out, however try not to get an atrium-facing room as it can feel a little 'closed in' and the hotel gets very stuffy in the summer. The hotel makes for a perfect base to explore the rest of the city. This hotel is better-suited to couples than large groups due to its intimate atmosphere.

      The Marriott Copenhagen isn't the best hotel in the city with its bland interiors and average location , but for fans of the brand, the Marriott is suitable. Clean and conventional to its image, the advantage of the hotel is its large rooms and its lovely views over the nearby canal. Otherwise, the hotel is similar to others under the same umbrella - an impersonal atmosphere and a hectic lobby buzzing with elderly Italian and Spanish cruise tourists isn't the most appealing of atmospheres if you're looking for a bit of that sleek Copenhagen chic!

      The First Hotel Skt Petri is one of the most contemporary design hotels in the city buy doesn't it know it. Staff here is aware of the hotel's reputation and for some reason aren't as friendly or warm as staff we have come across at other hotels in the city. Otherwise the hotel looks great, despite feeling a little bit like a shopping centre complete with escalators at the front door. Its location just behind the university library is however a lovely area to explore with lots of trendy bars, restaurants and shops. The hotel is well-suited to guests who are looking for a design hotel without an intimate atmosphere.

      This boutique hotel set up with artistic endeavour in mind has seen its hey-day and is disappointingly in dire need of a complete refurbishment. You'll find it on most hotel-booking sites under the 'charming boutique hotel' tab but don't be tempted as you may well be disappointed upon arrival. Now more of a backpackers' hangout, it isn't hard to see why. The hotel's 61 rooms are all different and have been decorated by an ensemble of 21 artists, but the creative decor hasn't been well maintained and now looks particularly shabby and unclean, which is a great shame. We'd like to thank the very skilled photographer who had the hard job of making this tacky rooms look like they are at the very height of design because they sure don't look the part in reality. Hotel Fox is ideal for those on a budget and for those who don't plan on spending very long in the city.

      A Small Leading Hotel of the World, the Nimb Hotel is without doubt the best hotel in the city. A hard assertion to make about any hotel as it is rare to find a hotel that satisfies all the necessary requirements to make it a top hotel, but at the Nimb every detail has been studied closely to make it the perfect haven of peace and tranquillity whilst right at the heart of the city. Adjoined to Tivoli Gardens, the Nimb has a Michelin starred restaurant and an award-wining bar. The country home style rooms are luxurious whilst being extremely contemporary and comfortable. The hotel is perfect for a romantic break, and although it is rare to see children at the hotel, as it is in Tivoli Gardens itself, it could also be a good option for families. If you have the budget, there is no hotel that would come as highly recommended hotel as the Nimb.

      The Alexandra Hotel doesn't give away much from its non-descript exterior and is easily missed when walking past. However, it's a real boutique design gem that only the most clued-up of design-fiends would know. Completely kitted out in original 30s and 50s pieces of furniture by some of the most renowned Danish designers like the well-known Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, Hans J. Wegner and Borge Mogensen, makes for an impressive impact! And we haven't even started on the Verner Panton suite! The hotel is well-suited to guests looking for an authentic stay in the Danish capital, but isn't recommended for young children.

      Hotel Twenty-Seven is one of the trendiest hotels in the Danish capital, and although it looks good, the experience was extremely disappointing, especially the crowded and low-quality breakfast. The hotel's location is one of its advantages as it is situated right in the city centre close to small winding backstreets known as the 'Marais of Copenhagen' and it is here that you will find a plethora of trendy bars and restaurants. The contemporary Twenty-Seven is ideal for those of you looking for a stylish hang-out to explore the rest of the city from. The hotel otherwise welcomes a range of guests, from families to groups and couples.

      The newly-opened Tivoli Hotel is the product of a fusion of the hotelier Arp-Hansen and Tivoli Gardens. The result is a large scale themed city resort that caters for families with young children. Brimming full with colours, you will find the various themes of Tivoli Gardens used here too such as the lampposts, the harlequin pattern and so on. The hotel has been extremely well designed and despite its colours and theme-park look, it doesn't look tacky; it hasn't fallen into the Disneyworld category, so rest assured. It is a great place to take young children, if you're into that kind of thing. The highlight of the hotel for adults? The Sticks'n'Sushi Sky Lounge on the 12th floor, which gives a whole other dimension to the hotel.

      Not only is the Bella Sky the biggest hotel of the city, but it is also the largest hotel in Scandinavia. Although not located within the city centre, it is a hotel that is worth staying at if you are a huge fan of large spaces and vertical gardens. Guests staying here must have access to a car as there is nothing at all in the surroundings. The hotel has proved to be popular with ladies for its 17th floor strictly reserved for females. Fun with lots of space for children, the monumental shopping-centre -like hotel looks great as far as its interiors are concerned, but feels empty and lacks atmosphere. The Bella Sky would have been a huge hit if it were in the city centre.

      This four star hotel is one of the best hotels in the city. Spotless and extremely pleasant, the Kong Arthur is also well-located between Norrebro train station and the trendy area of Norrebro. The hotel is in a small courtyard just off a main road that lines the lake (that looks akin to a canal). The service is flawless as are the hotel facilities. The rooms are spacious and despite a more or less subtle Medieval theme running through the decor, they are pleasant to spend time in. The hotel isn't much of a family hotel as it is fairly quiet, but it doesn't discourage them. The clientele is mainly made up of businesspeople and couples of foreign tourists. The hotel is ideal if you need some time out a little way from the busiest areas of the city.

      The Radisson Blu Royal Hotel is one of the city's main landmarks and few five star hotels. If you know what you are looking out for, then you will be able to appreciate its unusual structure that was especially avant-garde back in sixties' Copenhagen, when the architecture was still extremely traditional. It was an extremely popular hotel that marked the beginning of the era of designer-extraordinaire, Arne Jacobsen, whose name you will probably hear time and time again as you visit the Danish capital. The hotel has recently been renovated but its 60s spark has somewhat died away. The hotel is still a good place to stay, with lots of Jacobsen furniture - his original suite has even been left just as it was and is now open for visits. The hotel is a good option for all kinds of guests, from couples to groups of families.

      Located in Islands Brygge, this is an impressive and different concept that provides a great escape from the madding crowds. STAY Copenhagen is a residential concept and the large stylish monochrome loft apartments on offer are one of the best bets in the city accommodation-wise if you don't want to be surrounded by tourist traps and you're looking for some of that minimalist Danish design. The hotel often welcomes celebrity guests looking for a low-key hideout in the city. Guests are given all the intimacy they wish but friendly and efficient staff is at hand to provide them with anything they wish. The views through the floor to ceiling, wall to wall, windows, of the lakes and the city on the opposite bank are the highlight. STAY Copenhagen is an über-contemporary and chic alternative to an average hotel room, where we felt right at home despite the size of each flat.
