Kong Arthur Hotel Copenhagen

We stayed here last week in a Junior Suite for three nights and loved every moment. Location was great, 5-10 minute walk to the main part of the city, yet quiet enough to get a good night's sleep. The beds could not have been comfier, the rooms could not have been cleaner, and the jacuzzi bath could not have rounded off a busy day sight seeing any better!! Would return in an instant.

The hotel contracts with an adjacent spa to offer hot tub service to qualify for a 4-star rating. I would say that the accommodations are a solid 3-star rating. The staff were extremely nice, the location is convenient and quiet. If you get a double room, you get a jacuzzi in your room! Most importantly, the beds are comfortable, and there is free wi-fi. I tend to be strict on ratings. I would still call this a 3-star hotel, but I still found Kong Arthur to be an EXCELLENT place to stay.

We arrived late on a friday evening, at 12 pm, to see the manager telling us that they didn't have any room left! Really? In a 4 star hotel, they are not able to book a room properly? Very bad first impression. We came back the following day, the room was clean, the bathroom could be bigger. Very nice breakfast though. Still, I stay on this first impression that it's not working well! Location is fine, not too far from the city center.

We found the staff to be very helpful and courteous. The hotel was located within walking distance to most attractions, including the botanical gardens, and the Metro and other trains provided transportation to other points of interest. It was very easy to get around. We were fortunate that the weather was excellent for our entire trip. The only down side was our room which faced the courtyard. We had a couple of nights of sleep interrupted by noisy conversations, but once we notified the front desk they took care of it promptly.

We booked a standard double, but I noticed that it is the same size as the "superior" single. With a smarter room arrangement, the room could have been made to feel bigger, but silly things like a heavy basket of useless books and a too-big desk wasted the limited floor space. We utilized the space under the bed to store a small suitcase which helped. The windowsill was large enough for a suitcase, too, but the curtain opened on the wrong side, making this option less accessible. The hotel claims to be "green", but I found this to be "greenwash". There were little bottles of toiletries, but the maid never replaced the shampoo. On the plus side, the bed and bedding were clean and comfortable. There was an electric coffee/tea pot on the windowsill that could be used to make hot water, but it had to be moved to the bathroom where there was an outlet to plug it into. The bathroom was an adequate size, with a good solid wood door, not glass as in so many Copenhagen hotels. The best part of this hotel was that it was on a bike path just two blocks away from an excellent bicycle-rental place, Baisikeli at Turesensgade 10. On the street passing south of the hotel was a very nice bakery/cafe just one block away. I would rate this hotel as three stars instead of four.

I was very pleased with the staff in every way and the hotel had a fair location. My room was fine and quiet. Everything was run professionally. I have no idea why I had to pay so much for breakfast. I think it should be included in the already high price. And at these prices, they should have staff to welcome you and help you with your luggage as well as people to show you to your room. If this is a 4-star hotel, I shutter to think about the ancillary services of a three-star hotel.

The staff were pleasant, courteous and obliging. The room was clean and cozy. Only negative was the room location. Though the lack of air conditioning would not be too critical in Scandinavia to be comfortable on warm evenings, we had to open our windows. Unfortunately, our 2nd floor room overlooked the hotel restaurant and courtyard. Occasionally, hotel residents who lacked manners would have loud boisterous gatherings until late in the evening in the courtyard. When the front desk was contacted, someone would immediately respond and the group was silenced. I would return to the hotel on a future stay in Copenhagen but I would request a room in a different location.

This hotel sadly does not live up to the promotion. For the $234 per queen size bed room, we got low rate, double bed, attic room which was so small, 2 people could not walk past each other. Our travel partner had a large room for the same price on the first floor.The hotel is not air conditioned and as such, a summer stay is risky like we experienced. The desk staff has to multi task performing other duties such as bar tending and busing of tables. We will not stay here again should we return to Copenhagen. We will look for an American brand hotel and skip the European inn.

Good location. Clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Kong Arthur. Beautifully appointed room, nice bath, attentive staff. We arrived early and they were able to accomodate us almost immediately. Great Location. Metro stop also had a train stop and a commuter train stop. Close to restaurants and coffee bars. this was the best place we stayed in Scandinavia. We highly recommend it.
