Fabulous location right across from Central Station, a 20 min train journey to Copenhagen airport. The room is small but perfectly functional for 2 people. Bed comfy. Town centre right behind hotel with lots of bars and restaurants. Canal tour leaves from just across the road.

Tivoli Hotel
This is not a good hotel for tourists. It’s a convention center, and it lacks the personal service that you would expect from a good hotel. Room clean is “on request”.
