Absalon Hotel

Nice smart city hotel, friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, and a great breakfast. Though to the left of the main train station it was an easy short walk into the centre. My wife and her friends had previously stayed at the sister hotel across the road and enjoyed their stay there, and we both enjoyed our stay at The Absalon.

The hotel has 2 elevators for guests, but some of the floors still require a number of stairs to reach your room. We were first given one of these rooms and at our request, they moved us to a room on the same floor that didn't require stairs for our large luggage, etc. We had a nice corner suite to spread out in and the bathroom (bathtub/shower combo) was roomy with a sink and shelf above for your personal toiletries. Room service is by request and if you decide you don't need it - they will offer you a 100DKK voucher good for a drink or two at the downstairs bar/lounge area, toiletry set or half price on a bike rental. We chose the drink(s) option for all 3 days of our stay. They also have a room for luggage storage which we took advantage of on the day we departed. The hotel is very close to Copenhagen's main train station (within a 10 minute) - very convenient for heading out to Roskilde for the Viking Ship Museum and for direct transport to and from the airport. Note WiFi is not secure, but works well. Beds are very comfortable too. Staff at front desk always have a smile and greeting for you coming and going. It is a busy place and they also let us know transportation options for a variety of places we wanted to visit. All in all, we would definitely stay here again!

Original reservation at Absalon was in 2020, but COVID rendered that plan impossible. In a gesture of goodwill for the missed stay, the hotel upgraded us this visit to a very lovely, spacious suite, complete with a bottle of bubbly and tray of sweets upon our arrival, and a lovely note. This hotel is extremely well-managed and a quiet respite from the busy touristy sections of the city. Outstanding staff was extremely welcoming and accommodating. And for those visiting in the summer, yes, AIR CONDITIONING is now in every room -- IMO an absolute must for a hotel in Europe in the summer!!

The hotel is super modern and new, loved the sustainability aspect as there was no plastic cards for the room and generally no plastic in the bathroom or during the breakfast. even the yoghurt pots were in the glass pots rather than plastic, so loved this aspect. also, loved the encouragement for non cleaning the rooms to get some perks- really good idea!

Striking, colourful and most attractive decor. Exceptionally comfortable room. Helpful receptionists. Very well positioned near to the station, the Tivoli and city centre. A big choice of good restaurants near by. We were offered 2 free beers each if we went without housekeeping for the two nights of our stay. We accepted the offer, enjoyed the beers and still had the rooms serviced. An excellent hotel. I shall book to stay here when next I visit Copenhagen.
