Axel Guldsmeden

Conveniently located, this hotel is surrounded by many other hotels and restaurants, and it's very close to the Central Station. You can reach the hotel in about 5 minutes if you exit through the back door of the Central Station. Most attractions are within walking distance. The front desk staff are welcoming. The room has a simple Nordic style. My only suggestion is that they should add a water barrier in the shower as the floor outside gets wet every time I shower. All the hotel staff are very enthusiastic, friendly, and enjoy chatting and greeting guests. It's a great hotel and I'd recommend it. However, early in the morning, there are often drunk people making a lot of noise on the street outside. Despite that, the hotel itself is actually quite quiet.

Accommodations in Copenhagen are often sophisticated but on the smaller side, and both room rates and general costs are quite high. It's highly recommended to prioritize staying near Copenhagen Central Station (København H) or Nørreport Station due to excellent transport links, which will save you a lot of time lugging your bags around. Nordic design hotels are very popular here, offering a relaxing Hygge atmosphere with their minimalist style, and they often include a delicious Scandinavian-style buffet breakfast.

When I first checked in, the room felt small, but after three nights, I realized it was perfectly fine for one person. The bathroom sink is super tiny, just like what you'd find in a Japanese hotel, and the shower is barely big enough to turn around in. I'd seen a lot of guests complain about water splashing everywhere, but actually, if you just face outwards when you shower, that problem is solved. The room itself is quite comfortable. The breakfast is good and quite varied, but it was exactly the same for all three days – is that a Scandinavian thing, haha? What really stood out is the hotel's location. It's incredibly close to the central station. Plus, the bike rental price is very reasonable, much cheaper than Bolt or similar services.
