We have just returned home after 4 nights at the Admiral. Beautifully restored warehouse/granary that gives a real sense of the history of the place. Superb location! Lovely breakfasts and the rooms the are very clean and fresh. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A special shout out for Gurkan who went above and beyond in giving us lots of helpful information about where to go and how to get there. Also told us where to go to get free Covid tests!

I stayed here for 3 nights to celebrate my 60th birthday and since I was travelling with my son, had requested a twin room, which was okay. The building has magnificent old wooden beams throughout the hotel, but there was one enormous one right next to the bed where my son was sleeping and made access to the mini-bar and his bed from one side awkward. It was also low and on the way to the bathroom/door, I knocked my head on it. The bathroom was okay with a good strong shower and great hot water, but I would have also liked to have had a bath as soaking after a long day out in the cold would have been nice. Also, water leaked out from the shower into the hall way. There were no bathrobes or slippers which I would have expected in a 4 star hotel. Also, on our first morning I noticed that the free body cleanser for use in the shower was not new and had already been used and there was only one small tube for two people. Unfortunately the sound proofing was not great. Next door to us was a young couple with a baby who I could hear crying very loudly each night and on the Saturday night there was a lot of noise coming from the street. I think the most disappointing thing was a general lack of facilities. The sauna was very small (I was told it holds about 4 people) and had to be booked in advance. Unfortunately it was fully booked when we tried to book it. There was no gym or swimming pool; again things I would expect in a 4 star hotel. We did not eat in the restaurant as Euro 30 for a breakfast (which may have been very good) is just a ridiculous price. For such a large hotel, the lobby bar was small and was the only place to have a drink. The location of the hotel is perfect and close to everything you would want to see as a tourist. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the check-in and check-out went smoothly, Perhaps all 4 star hotels in Copenhagen are of a similar standard, I do not know, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed in the Admiral hotel, particularly as it was not cheap.

Upon arrival we had been upgraded to the Tower Suite,a fantastic surprise. The room is on the top floor and a narrow flight of stairs (take note if mobility is an issue!) into a dorma with windows on three sides, with a panoramic view of the waterfront. The room has a large, moveable flat screen tv, comfortable sofa and armchairs, coffee machine and kettle, good sized desk and chair, dressing space with large (very flattering!!) mirror and big, cosy bed. The bathroom is a lovely space with dimmable lights, a huge, fabulous bath that easily accommodated two, as well as a rain shower, supplied with fluffy white robes and slippers. Unfortunately, as perfect as the bathroom looked (and the bath was!) there wasn’t underfloor heating or a heated towel rail, this meant the floor was cold and we had damp towels for our morning shower from our luxurious soak from the evening before. Extra towels in the closet would’ve offset this.. although that’s not very environmentally friendly. We tried to eat in the Salt restaurant but (understandably) it was fully booked. So we had a drink in the Salt bar and ordered room service. I was slightly disappointed with the minimal drinks and snacks selection at the bar, but both the burger and moules frites were delicious (with many more moules than I could eat!!) when they were delivered to the room. I would definitely recommend and return (keeping my fingers crossed die the upgrade again!!! 😬)
