    The main bar

    Nice terrace and good happy hour. Good location and nice hostel filled with young and smiley people. The not so great thing is that they barely play music in the bar (neither inside nor outside) ...

    Bocce Ball courts

    Conveniently located in Copenhagen, easy walk to the Metro, or the famous Nyhaven canal area and waterfront. TONS of cool stuff to do within the "Number 1 Voted Hostel in Denmark." There's bocce ball courts, outdoor areas, a bar, numerous lounges, shuffleboard, lockers, breakfast, the list goes on. One amenity I'd highly suggest is the bicycle rentals. You can rent in 6, 24, or 72 hour intervals. Copenhagen is really flat, and easily bike-able! There are designated bike lanes all over the city, and pedestrian and bicycle only bridges, bikes have the right of way in bike lanes, so if you're walking, get out of their way. We had a room with 2 single beds and a full bathroom. It was tiny, no TV, but all we did there is sleep and shower. I think cheaper options were bunk rooms with 4-8 beds. No Air Conditioning, but not too many places in Scananavia do. They do, however have an "Ice Bar" on site. Proof of staying at the Generator apparently gets you discounts for Ice Shots and other drinks. So, basically if you want a super cool kids kind of place for home base while in Copenhagen that's cheaper and close to lots cool things, this is where you go. Right here.

    I managed to avoid hostels for sometime because I did not get to travel much at my last job. Now that I can travel again, I was a bit hesitant but ready to give this hostel game another try! The hostel life before Generator was dark and grim.... ok..it was more like "am I going to find a dark room with dirty sheets and wish I had stayed at a hotel?". Generator made my transition smooth and made me a hostel-believer (is that a thing?!?) again!!! Copenhagen location was easy to find, centrally located close to bunch of bars and the Christmas markets! The whole building has a modern vibe to it. It was nice to see a big bar and lounge area, with lots of people socializing. I booked a bed in a room of 6 people. Not everyone was there when I arrived. I was pleasantly surprised to find a storage box under the bed, making me a lot less worried about my personal belongings. It was nice that the toilet and the shower were separate to make it easy for people use one, while keeping the other free. What was nice to hear was that my friend who lives in Copenhagen had came to the Generator's bar to meet her friends before. I guess they have a good atmosphere! I only stayed there one night so I did not get to socialize or discover the hostel as much but I had a peaceful stay! I will definitely stay at another Generator hostel!

    Fantastic hostel in a great location in central Copenhagen. Very safe (key cards to get into your room/take the elevator, under-bed lockers as well as lockers on the main floor if you have too much luggage, although the lockers are really spacious). Clean, very helpful staff. I will definitely stay here if I come back to Copenhagen.

    My room (I was just by myself, but could have called in the squad ;))

    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.

    This is a beautiful hotel with beautiful views. I got upgraded to a corner room and loved the view…read moreof the canal. My room was spacious, quiet, and relaxing. 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.

    Absolutely top notch from start to finish…read more All of the Staff were extremely helpful, from the moment you walk in, to the lobby, everything. Beautiful large, well lit lobby area where they serve an amazing brunch in the morning. I would recommend staying here for the brunch alone. Rooms were really nice, bed comfy. Hotel is in a prime location, you can walk to everything. I spent over a month in Europe in various locations, stayed in various hotels, this place was awesome! And finally, on my way out - (this was almost 2-years ago so apologize for late review). But when I was checking out Copenhagen was supporting the Tour de France, and a major part of the city was closed to road traffic. I had to get the the ferry terminal (to take the ferry to Oslo - which I highly recommend) And the concierge personally helped me with my bags, and walked me to the subway station and made sure I got on the correct train. He was absolutely phenomenal (picture included). I loved this place, and would 100% go back and stay here again.

    Beautiful hotel in a good location. The room was well appointed, roomy and fashionably decorated…read more Breakfast is excellent, so many choices and high quality. During my recent visit, there was construction happening directly above my second floor room and it started at 7AM. When I asked the front desk, they were quick to apologize and offered breakfast which was nice. Apparently, the construction was not suppose to begin until 8AM, but it started at 7AM (at least above my room). At least I had to get up around that time, but the noise was shrill and unpleasant. Also, my room was exceedingly warm even with A/C running all night. I'd try the Skt. Petri again, but check to the status of the construction project. 3 stars during my visit, would expect it to be higher next time.

The pictures of the pool and garden look like they are from the Garden of Eden. Some small issues that caused it to drop a point. My room was next to the restaurant which has its advantages for a quick breakfast, a nice drink but the walls were thin and you could hear the music till 3 am which made it hard to sleep. The hotel itself is visually stunning and a great sendation for the eyes. The breakfast while expensive had a complete selection. The gym was nice but hard to workout when they had 20 people doing boxing training left and right. This place gives the vibe of a new age, conscious and environmentally responsible and sustainable hotel. I'm not someone who easily gets upset or triggered and while I do understand that hunters have a right to hunt. Each floor has the head of a Deer, a Moose, hanging from the wall in the stairwell. I do realize that taxonomy is an art and hunters use these as a mark of their trophy. I'm not a vegetarian nor an animal activist or some crazy left ideologue but to see these majestic animals decapitated on every floor hanging on the wall staring and piercing into your soul. It was bit heartbreaking. It seems also a bit at odds with the whole environmentally, conscious sustainable theme that the hotel is striving for. I do realize that this is just my opinion. The staff was excellent and went above and beyond.

    It's September 2, 2024 and I'm packing shortly to return to New Jersey on this American Labor Day,…read morehaving stayed at this Palace since August 24. First real vacation in over seven or eight years. What an incredible choice I made staying here. It's hard to distinguish my deep affection and unbridled love for Danes and Denmark from just how much I loved staying here. Well, actually maybe not. The same qualities I was raised to appreciate and strive to emulate infused every aspect of my stay. Promptness, pristine manners, lively cheeriness and on and on. No request or inquiry was ever met by any Scandi staff member with anything less than cheery efficiency. The hotel is spotless yet still bears the regal fingerprints of time - over 100 years standing through Wars and Covid, downturns of all kinds but again the pride of Danes - not arrogant but joyous pride, has proven to be this fine grand lady of an edifice's key to thrive-al. I walked every hall of this enormous architectural marvel one evening. Discretely tucked away in two hallways were black and white photos of moments of history here - of royalty from Hollywood to London, of greatness. Even Judy Garland stayed here for what became her last concert of her life. I worked and slept and ate and healed here these nine days away. I occasionally imagined May 4, 1945 down there in the Rådhuspladsen from my balcony, imaging my mother crazy with glee in seas of freed Danes dancing and singing and crying and being fully alive again after the German Wargrip was loosened forever and her friend Uffe climbed up in the Tower to Jerry rig the electric and explode their five years' darkness in the forever light of freedom. It's that same esprit d'Danmark that thrums from the townhall square night and day with music and giddy tourists and sun worshipping locals and it's not bothersome or distracting or disturbing to hear but it's instead, life affirming and a celebration of community. Proud of life. The Danes that run this fine hotel celebrate life and are alive with every cheerful staff greeting, with every dazzling ergonomic modernism (Ike the double sets of thick balcony doors which SILENCE the bells incredibly nicely but when one wants to bathe in the bells' sonorous sounds, one simply throws open the doors) and with every swift little green cleaning of the rooms. I outright reject the accuracy or fairness of the few minor grumbles I saw in other reviews. Unfair, unwarranted and utter nonsense. My one challenge was having to find a workspace during my stay. It stands to reason the Dane's work-life balance would have only modest work desks in their rooms but as luck would have it, a truly spacious and quiet conference table is on the fourth floor in the hall complete with electrical outlets! As I pack, I'll miss the nine balmy days of August unbroken sun, my nights of infant-deep sleep on this comfy bed, the incredible breakfasts, the room of a shower, my beloved Rådhuspladsen outside my 100 year old balcony and the great, great joy It has been staying here. May the hotel stand for another 100 years and may I return throughout!
