The Clarion Hotel Malmö Live is a modern, high-rise hotel that opened in 2015 as part of the Malmö…read moreLive complex, which also includes a concert hall (home to the Malmö Symphony Orchestra) and a conference center. Its central location places you within easy walking distance of Malmö's city center, the historic castle, and even Ribersborg Beach (about 20 minutes away). The hotel's spacious rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows with impressive city views, comfortable beds, a safe, a mini-fridge, and excellent air conditioning. However, the large glass surfaces mean the curtains provide only limited blackout. As a large hotel, expect longer walking distances between rooms and amenities, and occasional elevator wait times during peak hours. The gym is well-equipped with cardio machines and free weights, though it lacks traditional resistance equipment. The breakfast is extensive and high-quality, with a barista and omelet station--though both can have wait times during busy periods. Hot beverages may also experience delays if machines need refilling or cleaning. As a couple on a city trip, we found the hotel to offer good value for money--not cheap, but well worth the price for the quality and location. We can highly recommend it for travelers looking for a comfortable, central base in Malmö.

The last time I was here (Sky Bar) it was well into the evening & we had a good time. This time we…read morearrived Sunday around 5:30 (late Feb) which was the perfect time to catch a Malmo sunset! They are located on the 25th floor with separated bar and restaurant. We ordered some beer (Eriksberg Karaktar) and Mock cocktails which were enjoyed by all. Limited draft beer options with a few more bottle options but they make up for it with cocktails. As expected, given the amazing views of Malmo, prices are steep and to be expected. I was pleasantly surprised they weren't crowded given the sunny day. Service was friendly and had the usual Bartender drink creation theatrics. There is a second Sky Bar (which I would recommend) in Hyllie also with a view but, after today, this is the one for the best Malmo sunset views.

Sorry. Won't return. Feels nothing like a Danish hotel. Too large. Too far from city center. Too…read moreimpersonal. Too garish. Much, much, much too far from Centrum and yes, you will walk back there from most places because Uber drivers don't think it's far enough away! Worst of all. I came for the pool but found just a glorified fountain. More of a wading pool than an actual swimming pool, in my opinion. I use a lap pool for nearly every day at my gym's home pool in New Jersey. Whether it was guest busy bodies or whether it was way too serious staff employees, some folks decided to needlessly upbraid me. Park my $26/day Tivoli rental bike near the entrance where 7 or 8 were parked? Admonished the next day by possibly a Tivoli bike wrangler, sternly hectoring me to park down the incline about 100 yards away. Some other do gooder admonished me for walking two steps into a no shoes part of pool locker room at 9:30 pm before closing. I turned around and left the area. These busy bodies have never heard of "vacation" - or how to be polite. Høfligt. And maybe it was just an unfortunate fashion moment for a woman outside the convention hall town but one night I came to the hotel and around 8 o'clock I was shocked to see a woman dressed for all the world like a courtesan. I realize she was just dressing in a very provocative manner to garner attention and she certainly wasn't a "professional" but boy did she look shockingly inappropriate for a family hotel. Actually any civilized hotel. Any Danish lodging. It struck me as an impersonal, industrial mega complex with zero charm or intimacy. And it had zero, zip, nadda to do with Tivoli. $7 for a minibar Coke? At checkout days later, I was asked if I took anything from the minibar. I mention the coke - and just back home and see a charge for $13.26. Am I cheap? No. Am I making a big deal over a hotel's looking to get a little more out of me after raking in nearly $1,700 for five days stay after charging two other daily charges for $23.45 a day's bike rental - even when i had the second bike for less than two hours? Not really - all I know is I never had to keep a sharp eye on these kinds of costs in decades of staying at other real Danish hotels in town. One of the few plusses concerned staff springing into action when i reported an elderly patron on the 7th floor crashing to the floor in some kind of respiratory distress surrounded by family. i'm no pulmonologist so I made a bee line for the front desk. Another positive was checking me in at 11:45 am instead of the requisite 3 pm. They were able to tell me, in fact, the exact time the cleaning person entered the room to clean. Tracking. Efficiency or micromanaging? A creepy time happened after returning from a ten mile walk around town, I saw a guy coming out of my room. The deal is that they don't clean your room unless you ask them to. I had not asked anyone to clean my room. So I asked the guy what he was doing in my room. He said he was just bringing in fresh towels. So bear that in mind: there may be people in your room even if you don't ask people to clean your room. Which leads me to the fact I was placed on one of the highest floors, with a two full length Overlook Hotel length walk from the Shining film to add to my exhaustion after hiking to the hotel industrial park at days end. Terrible hotel? Of course not. My being picky. Perhaps. But I'm not returning. At least they did not outright steal from me like the other Copenhagen hotel.

Tivoli Hotel and Congress is ideally located between the Bella Center and Copenhagen's City Center,…read morewhich is great if you're mixing business with sightseeing. The hotel is whimsical and is surprisingly very kid- and family-friendly, with themed rooms, play spaces, and a fun atmosphere for travelers with children. Standard rooms are on the smaller side, manageable for a short stay but not ideal for longer visits. We regretted not upgrading to the Executive Suite, which includes access to a private lounge with city views, complimentary drinks, and daily tapas. In hindsight, it really would've paid for itself. The pool is in the basement, but it's a nice feature, especially for kids needing a break after a day of sightseeing. There's also a well-equipped fitness center. Overall, it's a nice place to stay, especially if you have children. The complimentary breakfast is generous and served for 3 hours each morning. It's clean, comfortable, helpful staff and good location.

We wound up staying here twice- two nights before our cruise and one night before we headed back to the states. We did the first two nights in a balcony suite and it was really nice and the second time we did downgrade to a regular room. I honestly wouldn't even think about booking elsewhere other than this place! The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and it is literally in the middle of everything! You have complete access to a ton of shops and food establishments within a 2 minute walk of the hotel! Tivoli Garden is right across the street along with the train station (which includes rides to both Malmo, Sweden and the Copenhagen Airport) You can include breakfast in your stay or just buy it on your own In The morning. I thought they had a nice selection and everything was very fresh. I highly suggest becoming a member for this hotel brand because it will give you access to discounts and some perks. Our first time around we paid $60 for an early check in which was worth it. However, when we checked in yesterday- because I am a member, they did an early check in for free and also gave me a room upgrade! I honestly wish this hotel brand had more available places in the world outside of the Scandinavian Region because we have sincerely enjoyed our stay.

be very careful about booking a room here. I wouldn't if I were you…read more I attempted to book a room, but because it was a Copenhagen charge on my card, and I live in the U.S., I received a fraud alert from my card. This is normal. However, since I was trying to book a room for over a week in August, I did not want to have a double charge so I called my credit card and I told them it was an attempted charge but not to put the charge through . They did not. I have no record of paying anything to either booking.com or to Scandi to secure any reservation. However, when I arrived in Copenhagen on 8/21 and checked into the other hotel "the Square" across the square that I booked on another card after I had cancelled the reservation on the previous card, Scandi decided to debit my card $304 without warning. I walked over to their hotel and had two fairly rude and dismissive conversations with front desk clerks wherein they basically told me that their records indicated that I made a reservation and that I did not appear so they charged me $304 for a day stay. They showed me no such records. This is fraud. There is no record of my having paid either booking.com or Scandia for that reservation. There is no record of either booking.com or Scandia telling me via email or in any form of writing that there was a reservation. There were no emails telling me about my impending stay because there was no stay scheduled. Scandi had the audacity to only agree to refund my credit card, when working with my credit card company to resolve this amicably, $2.98. Unfortunately, I'm the wrong person you try to pull this nonsense on. I will pursue this until I reach financial satisfaction which I will. I will not be cheated. I will also be contacting the Danish authorities about this. I add this: in response to my credit cards' inquiries, Scandi produced no documentation or any proof of a made reservation, a confirmation to me the reservation was made, reminders in advance that reservation or any proof of the holding of any such reservation. It simply kept the money and gave me $2.98 back. To be continued.

This hostel has lots of beds! My favorite thing about this hostel is that it has it's own bar…read morethat's open until 1 or 2 in the morning, and the counter/bar is always staffed day and night with a nice person to help you out. The bar was a great way to hang out with other guests in the hostel. You can purchase seasonal local draft beers, liquor, coffee, tea, and snacks at the bar. Best of all, they have an awesome happy hour everyday from 7-8 pm when all beers are 2 for 1! In the morning the bar and it's long tables become the setting for an all you can eat breakfast (not included in the price of a bed, but it's a nice selection of food and drink and costs 50 DKK if you order it before 6pm the day before and 58 DKK on the morning of). Downstairs from the bar is a large cozy common area with lots of couches and cute seating areas and a pool table. There are 2 iMac computers open for guests to use and you can print from them for 2 DKK per page. Free wifi all around. I had a private room for two people. It was very simple - just a bed, 2 night stands, and a little window bench (no closet). There was a mirror on the back of the door (not full-length). The private room was in it's own hallway with one other private room and a toilet shared between the two private rooms. To shower guests of the private rooms use the same large shower room as the rest of the guests in the dorms. It is the largest hostel shower room I've ever been in, but was super clean. You can buy a towel at the front desk (non-refundable). There is a wonderful free walking tour that leaves directly from the hostel at 10AM each morning. There are lots of suggestions on the walls of things to do around Copenhagen. You can also rent a bike directly from the hostel. The private room was more expensive than other private rooms I stayed in around Europe, but I really liked the hostel so it was worth it.

I'm not saying the place was awesome, but given what I paid to sleep there, I think they did a…read morepretty solid job of things. The city is not an inexpensive place, and I was a bit surprised to find anywhere for the price they offer. That it isn't smack on top of the public trans is a pest, perhaps, but it's a short cab ride to drop your luggage if you don't feel like going the two block walk from the nearest bus stop, and the place is usually quiet, which I found frankly refreshing. The cost includes linen, if not a towel, a key card that grants access to your room and your personal locker which obviates the need of bringing a lock, and there's an add-on option for a cheap all-you-can-eat breakfast [I had a lot of muesli and hot tea]. The rooms and bathrooms both were spotless when I stayed, and the hot water was plentiful. They did -not- have a kitchen which troubled me a bit, but they'll allow you to bring food from outside, just not alcohol.

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.

It's rated a 2 star, and to be honest a 4 star hotel in Copenhagen is not worth it. Most hotels in Copenhagen are needing revamp. So I picked this on rave review on Yelp and trip. It's your standard small space for a hotel room in Europe/Asia. If you want more room, there are larger family rooms with a bedroom. You're in Europe.... hotels are different. But there's inventiveness in design of this hotel: it's utilitarian, each thing in the room has a function. As you settle in, you realize it took the designers lots time to tie a function to any innovation to the room. It's space age-y and it works, almost Clockwork Orange-y and comfy. The layout here is also similar to hotels you'd find in Japan..... very ZEN! The breakfast is a typical Scandinavian/German spread: musli, cereal, yoghurt, 2 -3 charcuterie items, (the pate was super yummy on a seeded bread), cheese, Danish butter, nutella, fruit, boiled eggs, coffee, juice. WIFI was solid and encrypted. Visits: 1 (4 nights) Tip: Ask for a 12th floor, or high corner room, 2 windows (small fee) and look at the entire city. Skies are beautiful in København and love the top floor views here. To get to the metro/trains you walk 7-10 min. Theres a bus stop 2 blocks away. A block a way where the Tivoli Hotel is there are free shuttles and a real bus stop. There are 2 branches of this hotel, pick this one (Carsten Niebuhrs Gade) because it's close to the Tivoli Gardens, main train station and accessible to many attractions. There is no coffee-maker in room but go downstairs and they will make coffee/tea for you for cheap. You can also get snacks, sandwiches and a wine/champagne for a good price too. Bikes are everywhere in Copenhagen and you can rent bikes at this hotel for cheap too.

The hotel lobby looks nice but was a bit deceiving. We didn't like how expensive luggage storage was. We were just a bit late returning after 6 hours and was charged an extra 20dkk. We aren't used to paying for storage at hotels. We had a large room but it didn't feel large. The 'couch' in the room was a sad excuse for a seat as it was just a giant cushion. The bed had European duvets but it all felt dirty, I even spotted stains. The bathroom was a small space pod. The garbage can was annoying to use because you had to press to squeeze it open and didn't feel sanitary. Also, our towels had trouble drying even if they were hanging all day. Walls are very thin. Overall, this experience was just ok. Nothing fancy.
