The hotel was pretty much what I expected for a medium sized, railroad-station-area mid-priced place: the room was clean, the service was efficient. There was no AC, and furnishings were functional. Breakfast was very good. Contrary to some assertions, the hotel is in a red light neighborhood, although apparently a pretty safe one. There were prostitutes soliciting business on the... more

Booked to stay here with my sister but checked out early after one night (one night too many!!). Within less than half an hour of entering our room, we went and booked a new hotel for the remainder of our stay in Copenhagen. Our room was incredibly small, two single beds very squashed along one wall, head to head. Decor... more

My husband and I stayed in this hotel three weeks ago. The room was very small, the smell was not good and there was no air condicioner - it was so warm and we needed to sleep with the window open and it was a problem because of the noise (the street in front of our room was full of... more

The best that can be said about the Absalon is that it is usually clean and that breakfast is adequate. However, it feels like no money has been put into this place in 30 years. Everything is thread bare, chipped, and stained. The pillows are an abomination. But that is not the worst. The worst is the location. There is... more

My wife and I stayed at the Absalon for ten days while I attended a conference at the Royal Library. It was one of the conference hotels but we made our own arrangements via their website and got a better room for the price. Having lived and traveled extensively in Europe, we went in with eyes wide open, expecting a... more

We stayed here two night, two weeks apart. First night was awful. Room toward the street. Hot weather and no air condition or fan forced us to have the window open. And it is a very noisy street with drugs and women for sales as it sounded. For our next stay we asked for a back room. This room was... more

We stayed for two nights at Hotel Absalon. We were looking for a central hotel with a reasonable price. Since all hotels in Copenhagen are expensive this was our choice. We payed 1.190 DKK for a tripleroom. Rooms are ok but oldfashioned. What I disliked the most about the hotel are the smelly corridors, you could certainly smell many years... more

We booked a junior suite here as it was amongst the most reasonable offers we found in the center of Copenhagen. When we arrived at the hotel, the taxi driver warned us about the neighborhood and told us to be careful. We walked around for days and didn't experience anything that caused us concern, however other reviewers have so keep... more

Long story short, this was one of only 3 hotels available during our stay due to a huge global climate summit in Copenhagen. We chose the Absalon primarily because it was only slightly expensive; the others were insanely expensive. The hotel is clean, but the rooms look like they are straight from 1977. The staff was certainly friendly, and the... more

Older but definitely clean. Very friendly staff. Worth it for the breakfast alone! We needed a room for three, which they have, for one night after our flight into CPH and before we headed to Sweden. Excellent location and the neighborhood didn't bother us. But then we didn't hang out in the neighborhood, we made the brief walk to the... more
