Copenhagen, Denmark. In an old building, super close to the København central train station,…read more I've come to love this hotel. Why? 3 reasons: Its in Vesterbro, one of my fave hoods in CPH. The vibe is Balinese which threw me off-- Im used to a Scandi vibe everywhere Ive stayed in the city. The all organic delish breakfasts. The bedding and fabrics in the room are also organic! Its soo fun to stay here, theres a sauna with massage services, there are Vespas in random parts of the buildings and courtyard and staff wear Indonesian style uniforms. Inside the room, every detail was well planned and designed for practical functional use. I was sooo into the heated bathroom floor, I made a point to go without slippers. :) The small hotel bar/resto hosts serves superr delicious food and drink, ask for Franco. Staying at Axel G was a niiiiiceee surprise , i loved it so much, Im gonna be back. Be aware tho there is no air conditioning. Fans are provided in the rooms. End of Yelp.

This was a fantastic hotel! We got the spa & breakfast package, which I highly recommend. We used…read morethe spa every single day, and it was the best part of our stay! The sauna was amazing and got very hot, and we really enjoyed getting to use the cold plunge in between sauna sessions. There's also a steam room, infrared sauna, and jacuzzi. I also tried the mud mask and coffee scrub at the spa. We got a spa tote that included robes and flip flops, so no need to pack your own. The breakfast buffet was delicious as well and had a variety of options. The room was nicely decorated, bed was comfy, heater worked well during the winter, and there were amenities that we weren't expecting (toothbrush, toothpaste tablet, etc). I'd definitely stay at a Guldsmeden hotel again!

I honestly cannot think of enough good things to say about this hotel! It was my favorite place we…read morestayed on a recent two-week European vacation touring Denmark, England and Ireland, including another hotel in Copenhagen. From the quaint, secluded entrance (which looks like it is on an alleyway but it was an actual street!) to the plant-filled, cozy courtyard to the room to the common areas, I was so impressed with this historic yet contemporary property! It was our first night in Europe, and to say we were jetlagged from our eight-hour transoceanic flight is putting it mildly. But as soon as my head hit the pillow on the comfortable bed I was off to la-la land! And the breakfasts! Oh the breakfasts! Absolute best and most elaborate and varied breakfast of the trip! I have never before or since seen such an assortment of foods and beverages, including cereals, hot foods, salads (yes, salads!), cheeses, meats, breads, pastries, you name it! And the coffee was divine! You got your own pot at your table. And the service was extremely attentive and friendly. Also they had a free happy hour from 4 to 6 with wines, beers, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages that was just divine. They even helped us find free surface parking, next to impossible in downtown Kobenhavn! They also recommended a great restaurant district only a block or two walking distance away! The staff also spoke impeccable English and were quick with a smile or to answer any questions you had. The only slight complaint was how small the guest room (and especially bathroom therein) was, and the fact that there were some stairs and a pretty tiny elevator, but only by US standards as I later learned. You have to realize these cities and many of the buildings in them are hundreds of years old! In summary, to say I'd like to return soon to the Kong Arthur Hotel is putting it mildly!

After disembarking from my cruise in Copenhagen, I spent the day exploring this beautiful city. I…read moreopted to stay here based on the availability and good reviews. Not to mention it was really close to Torvehallerne Square, which is around an eight-minute walk from the hotel. I arrived early, before check-in, and the reception staff offered to hold my luggage so I could explore the city. They give you a code and place it in a locked and video-monitored closet down in the basement. It was easy to do and safe for your belongings. After some exploring, I returned to the hotel around 4 PM and finally checked in. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my single room had been upgraded to a larger room for free. I was stoked to hear that and loved the room and location they gave me. The room was beautifully furnished and was very clean! The only downside is the no AC. The temperature that day was in the low 60s (60-63 degrees). This may sound nice, but it was rather toasty in my room. They had a standing fan that, unfortunately, did not rotate, but it helped somewhat. They give you very heavy-duty duvets that are better for winter weather, but thankfully, I opened some of the windows in my room, which made it more bearable to sleep at night. The staff here was so friendly and accommodating. It's very close to plenty of sights, attractions, and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again. It's a beautifully decorated hotel, with lovely rooms and an excellent location.

This is very much a very nice American hotel, typical of Marriott. Having stayed previously that…read moreweek at a local hotel (St Annæ), which we throughly enjoyed, (5* rating) it was quite the culture change. We booked both as wheelchair accessible and while the Marriott has textured bathroom tile floors unlike the St Annæ's slippery smooth tiles, the lower than ADA allowed toilet was a problem. Also only one of the four table lamps worked. The room's door closer and threshold made egress very difficult. Staff was very helpful. The breakfast was good but subpar to the local hotel's. The location is pretty along the harbor, next to BIG's swimming and sauna chalet, and they provide robes and towels for daring guests. However it is a bit isolated from the many nicer local shops and restaurants.

The staff is friendly and quick to help. There are several amenities available on-site. The bathtub is high with a slope on all sides, making it very slippery to get in and out (1/2 star off). There is no rubber bath mat to prevent slippage. Be careful. The location is great if you are looking to mostly stay on the canal and walk around the boardwalk. However, it is 15 minute walk to the nearest metro station and city center. There is a hotel restaurant, but no other restaurants nearby within 15 minute walk. This is fine for the summer, but inconvenient in sub-zero temperatures (1/2 star off). I stayed here in February, so found myself rather trapped unless I take a taxi everywhere.

Poor Customer Service and Zero Flexibility After Accidental Cancellation…read more Accidentally canceled a reservation through Expedia and immediately contacted both Expedia and the hotel within minutes trying to reinstate it. Despite the stay being weeks away and rooms still available, customer service has been extremely unhelpful and nearly impossible to reach directly.

Very disappointing experience before even arriving at the hotel.

Fantastisk Sted At Gå Ned I København!…read more SITREP If you don't read Danish, that's my excited utterance of "Great Place To Crash In Copenhagen!" And a shout out to my yelpie Bridget W. and my trippy Mette for both cluing me onto this veritable hostel paradise! THE SETUP So what happened is on my flight out of Stockholm, Sweden, I ended up with a one (1) day layover in Copenhagen before going on to San Francisco. Now, this was PLANNED - I knew I had the layover: it was either this or pay $400 more for the next least expensive round trip between San Francisco and Stockholm (and back). As it turned out, I was already spending 10 days in the Baltic States with friends, hitting Sweden, Estonia, Russia and Finland. Unfortunately, there was no time in that itinerary to hit Denmark (nor Norway, for that matter, though technically, although also part of "Scandinavia", Norway is not a Baltic state). So an extra stop on the return leg in Copenhagen for a full day presented itself to me and I was happy to take it. DOWNTOWN DISTRICT AND CLOSE TO AIRPORT As soon as I jetted back into Copenhagen Airport (my 2nd time here in addition to my 1st two (2) hour layover in this airport on way to Stockholm), I jumped into the rail-car at the adjacent train station. Not more than 12 mins, I was at the downtown Central Train Station, and only a block and a half from Urban House! URBAN HOUSE It's right on the corner, with the front door in the middle of the block (just a block and a half up from one of the train station's entrances). https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/urban-house-k%C3%B8benhavn-2?select=JZdnyOCkTnIibGTVoHJ-bA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w The fees are very reasonable: at the time I was making my reservation for the middle of July, it was $35 a night in a dorm room. I pulled the trigger on a SINGLE room with a bathroom for only $94.71/night. Easily just a third of the cost of even the more "moderately" priced hotels in Downtown Copenhagen, near the airport. And most of the time I would be on a walk-a-bout and not in the room anyways, so I didn't want to waste my money there. The room didn't have a TV anyways - entertainment was outside of the room. ENTERTAINMENT! ..and speaking of entertainment, Urban House had a full-on bar / cafe / "Student Union"-feel open area at street level. In fact, the guy serving beers, took a quick break so he could check me in. The gal that was serving breakfast the next day was the one who checked me out: as it turns out, a good consolidation of tasks combined in their multi-talented staff. I ventured out in the afternoon and evening (twice actually) to grab some excellent Thai food back in the Train Station. And then again to a bar a few blocks away that was hosting a Jazz festival. There was plenty to do, places to eat, immerse oneself into the night life, all within blocks of Urban House. No car needed. THE ROOM As mentioned no TV, but that was not missed. There was a desk and chair which was nice since this is where I spent any of my waking-time while in the room. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/urban-house-k%C3%B8benhavn-2?select=NuynCk7VfBPS6-Fn4XhFuQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w The bathroom was a fascinating engineered piece of configuration, especially when it came to the adjacent proximity of the toilet and shower: a good economy of space! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/urban-house-k%C3%B8benhavn-2?select=AJLhvC82t2aCaZBooEwbAw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w There are never enough pillows wherever I go (hotel, motel, etc.), and unfortunately, this went doubly so for this. It's rare when I have to dip into my travel gear and find a jacket and extra pair of pants and fold/roll them up just so I can get a bit more height on the shallow pillow they give you. It is what it is. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/urban-house-k%C3%B8benhavn-2?select=T9RWvTNb8ZgaFlkcvFW5uw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE LOWDOWN A reasonably affordable stop when touring through Copenhagen.

(And really you shouldn't in Copenhagen.) The hotel is also in walking distance to Tivoli Gardens! Score! The place is fresh and modern, but not too much that those of an older generation would feel uncomfortable. In the lobby, there's complimentary wine for happy hour nightly, complimentary coffee in the am, a full bar open at all times, communal Space for getting work done and breakfast offerings for an additional an cost. The rooms are typical small European style, but the beds are very plush and uber comfy! The tubs are super deep and the pressure is fantastic. I certainly enjoyed a nice hot bubble bath with their solid brand toiletries after a long, chilly day in late fall. It was perfect! They have decent hair dryers in every room too. Check in and out was pretty easy, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the price was super reasonable for Denmark. There's a 7-11 just around the corner for anything you may have forgotten or any late night munchies you may have! They have Skyr! I would absolutely recommend a stay here for anyone, and certainly wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when I'm in the area.

We got a room that overlooked Tivoli, so that was a unique experience, especially since there was a rock concert one of those nights that was playing right outside (and the hotel gave us 2 cans of Mikkeller beer to enjoy the concert with). You also get free access to Tivoli by staying here, on all of your days including days of check-in and check-out, just ask the front desk for wrist bands! And it's the premium pass with all the rides. I didn't realize that until we got there and had purchased tickets beforehand, but the hotel advised that I could go to the service desk and get those refunded, which they did without a fuss. We booked 2 nights via points through Hyatt and it was more than worth it, since we spent 40-45k/night and the cash rate was going for over $1k/night. Availability might be limited so book early. The room can feel a little dated, but it's part of the historical vibe with creaky wooden floors and antique furniture. Nevertheless the restroom is modern and clean. The free breakfast we had is amazing. Not sure if it's free for all, but we have Explorist status with Hyatt if that mattered. It was quality over quantity, but man, quality. There was this truffle scrambled egg that was so good. Check out the Nimb bar too, the ambiance is classy yet casual, and the drinks are uniquely presented. Service is great too! Our waitress actually took time after getting our drinks to chat with us and ask where we're from, how long we're visiting. It's a pricey place, yes. But if you have the points or can splurge a little, it's worth staying at least a night once in your life!

Management of the Hotel Nimb is both incompetent and inflexible…read more Over Memorial Day Weekend 2022, more than 7000 flights in the U.S. were cancelled due to weather and personnel shortage issues. My flight from Miami to London Heathrow was cancelled initially due to weather-related issues and then thereafter pushed another day due to crew and operational issues on behalf of BA. While I was in contact and had my travel agency contact the Hotel Nimb, we were advised irrespective of the reasoning for a hotel cancellation, given the last-minute cancellation I would be charged, nonetheless for a no-show penalty. Problem statement: the hotel could not charge my credit card - not sure why, but my travel agent gave the wrong AMEX. Hotel Nimb's Key Account Manager reached out to me directly and I willingly provided my AMEX number with the caveat, the moment you charge my AMEX, I will transparently review your inflexibility and irrational management style. And thus, we are here... as a frequent U.S.-based business traveler who holds Concierge Key status on American Airlines, Platinum status on Delta Airlines, Ambassador status with Marriott, and Diamond Status with Hilton, I can wholeheartedly let you know I have never had such rude, incompetent, and outright aggressive hotel personnel interact with me. Mind you, I appreciate we live in world where the entire hospitality industry was affected by COVID, but so were we all... I forewarn all potential guests of the Hotel Nimb that Summer 2022 will be impacted by significant number of last-minute flight cancellations due to staffing, crew, and operational issues with all international airlines... given my suboptimal experience with the Hotel Nimb's soft product, e.g., management, I would promptly steer away from this property under any circumstances. I will, on the positive side let you know the property itself is nice, but on principle alone will adamantly and vehemently let everyone know about my experience as fair warning... DO NOT RESERVE WITH THE HOTEL NIMB!

The floor was dirty....we tested with a piece of wetted toilet paper to check. I don't understand its description as a 'luxury' hostel. It was convenient to public transport. It felt safe. Next time I would spend a bit more money for more comfort. The small space was really hard.
