Babette Guldsmeden

We arrived around 16:00 and the check-in went really smoothly. The person at the reception was very friendly and immediately took care of us. The rooms are good sized. However, the bed is squeaky and makes all kinds of noises. The mattress is very firm, as are the pillows. I would have liked a bit softer mattress and pillows. The blanket was very comfy. Our room was next to the elevator which was quite annoying. The cleaning is very good. Floors, the beds and the bathrooms were super clean. They also have a wide assortment of soaps, creams and hygiene products. There's even a bottle of massage oil. The breakfast is not what we're used to seeing at a 4 star hotel. There's such a small variety of items to choose between that we thought it was either a mistake or that we were between service. Sadly, no, that was it. No bread rolls, no toast, and very few options for sandwich meats, and only 1 or 2 pastry options. Breakfast was included in our room, but it was really disappointing. We didn't check out the SPA, so I have nothing to say about that. The checkout was less smooth. There were 2 staff behind the reception desk, but one of them was just standing there while the other one was helping another company. After 5 minutes, we decided to just put the key cards on the desk and tell her our room number and leave. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay, but there's definitely room for improvement. Having said that, the location is excellent!

Absolutely love this chain. Very homy feeling to the rooms and uniquely Danish. Wanna practice "hygge"? This is a good place to start! Babette has the perfect location in Copenhagen 😁 Love it. Will be back!!!

Love staying at Babette Guldsmeden- it’s relaxed, comfortable and eco. I especially enjoy the roof top sauna and was sad it wasn’t open on Monday morning. It would be great if it had an hour session at least in the morning please. We will be back for our third visit soon. Thank you.

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The location was ideal and within walking distance to Nyhavn. The room was very comfortable and had so many special touches. All staff we met were super helpful and friendly. The highlight was definitely the rooftop spa which was amazing, and still feeling the benefits of the face mask days later!! Won't stay anywhere else on return trips to Copenhagen - thank you!

Terrific location with welcoming, friendly place with very helpful people at the front desk. Location is superb, minutes from the water and 3 or 4 blocks from transportation. Focus on sustainability such as using bamboo instead of plastics throughout the property. Minor notes for improvement: Our room was very cramped with no shelves or drawers to unpack for a four-night stay; our friends had the same double room with a small anteroom in which they had plenty of storage space.. We used the window sills and lived out of our suitcases. A discounted price differential was warranted. A wonderful vintage radio in the room had no reception. A coffee pot offered instant coffee in a satchet, consistent with the hotel's aversion to wasteful capsules. A reading light attached to the bed had no switch so we had to move the four-poster bed to plug and unplug the dusty plugs. There is a beautiful stone bathtub but the bathroom sink was behind the door and led to repeated collisions. Breakfast was mediocre - where in Scandinavia do you find breakfast without smoked salmon? - and although we were told at the front desk that breakfast was included we were charged about 25 Euros per person! We had even told the front desk that we hoped to go out for breakfast in many local cafes and bakeries but when were were reassured that it was included we took advantage of it to our regret. A rooftop sauna and steam room is only available for an unnecessary and irritating charge of 25 Euros or so for one's entire stay. We would stay here again but would avoid the breakfast.

A great find in a super part of town - close to Kastellet, the harbour, Kongens Nytorv and the palace. Meget hyggeligt. I've often walked past it but never had cause to stay there. I was lucky enough to get an upgrade, which came a complete (and welcome) surprise. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room charming. The breakfast was excellent - real (rather than powdered) scrambled eggs and fresh orange juice. There are also other amenities, bar, restaurant, etc which looked great but unfortunately I had no time to try.

Had a delightful stay at Babette Guldsmeden. Arrived a day early due to my error and the Front Desk staff happily and thankfully was able to accommodate me! All with smiles and charm. The rooms was cozy with a wonderful balcony. Really appreciated the eco-friendly sustainability initiatives of the hotel. Highly recommended!

The breakfast and location are really good. The atmosphere in the hotel is also awesome. The only two things I would slightly complain. First is the smell of an old building. I know it is usual for the historical buildings but still was slightly annoying to refresh the air everytime I came back to my room. Second, there were not enough space in wardrobes for two people. In our room there was only one wardrobe where you can store your clothes, so more than the half we didn't unpack. However the general experience is very good and the personel of the hotel are very sweet people who want to help you.

Great hotel, great stay with a few minuses. The Babette is one of a few hotels around Scandinavia and other few in Germany/ ICeland all based on their green/ sustainable practices. First, the hotel is located on a great neighborhood in Copenhagen close to everything you want to see as a tourist. There is a food market across the street and a metro station a couple blocks away. The hotel is a boutique hotel and even though there were some people checking in when we arrived, we were checked in pretty fast and our room was ready for us. The bar/ lobby area is small but well thought out. There are cool and comfy chairs with small rugs for warmth in the winter. The restaurant is to the side and the orangerie was a plus. Beautiful, cozy area full of hygge for Danish and tourist alike. It's warm in the winter as it is enclosed and full of lanterns and plants where you can enjoy a drink or dinner. We didn't try the breakfast as it was outrageously expensive! ( as it later everything in Copenhagen), but with so many great restaurants in CPH there's no reason to. The room was great. We had a small suite and we loved it. Complete with seating area, a desk, Apple computer, nice bathroom with tub and shower and 4 post bed representative of their Balinese style it was a great respite after a day of walking around and exploring the capital city. The only minuses I can think of are that the room doesn't have AC , ( but it was the winter so not needed) and that the room faced a street and a park. Even though the last days of the years there was not a lot of traffic and it was quiet,after the 3rd of January we could definitely hear the traffic firm the street so we kept the windows closed. In the summer, however, I could see how this could pose a problem. Another issue was the hair dryer: obviously you have to was your hair, and it was the winter so no way I could go out with my hair wet in the cold so drying was needed. What I didn't get is that damn dryer!! It was small and it had only one button which you had to keep pressing and couldn't let go of in order to keep the dryer on! So your finger would get tired obviously and the dryer would keep turning off. So on/ off, on/off, on/off.... you get the idea... that's a lot of power consumption! Not very green or sustainable is it now??? Another minus would be the front desk people. I did find the Danes a bit cold and standofish but front desk people need to be nicer to clients. The bartenders at the bar by the lobby however were super nice The roof top spa access was included with the small suite so we took advantage of it. In the winter roof top is closed but I can't imagine a lot of people there in the summer as it is quite small. Cute though! Good view The sauna and steam room were nice and there was only a couple people there so it was perfect for us. There's also a cold water bucket but it was way too cold to try that. Overall a great stay, would stay here again in the same room. We had a great time!

Fantastic boutique hotel. Wonderful location in an amazing city. Get an upper floor suite with a balcony. We loved this eco friendly gem of a hotel and would definitely return. Close walk to everyone and a great vibe to the place. Excellent staff & friendly service! Thanks for an enjoyable time in Copenhagen!

i normally don't write yelp reviews, however, i felt compelled after my recent stay at Babette Guldsmeden. i tried my best to give the hotel the benefit of the doubt during my stay. i was willing to overlook the extremely small (cozy?) accommodations that at best fit a twin size bed (maybe my booking agent thought she was getting me a great deal?). i ignored the sub par food (my fault as i ordered at the bar?); the lonely chicken breast + oddly tangy burrata salad doing a well enough job as i was exhausted from my travel day. Overall the location of the hotel was lovely (right next to a park) and they're eco friendly (although could have benefited from using reusable cups instead of disposable paper). what i can't overlook, however, was the response of the receptionist when i called to report that my iphone was missing from the bag i had left in the hotel's storage locker. i asked if i had left it in my room ('no one has reported anything + we have finished our cleaning service') and again if it had fallen out in the luggage locker ('i checked and there's nothing'). He informed me simply that 'this sounds like a pick pocket situation'. his blasé attitude toward the situation makes me think that this either has happened in the past, or he just didn't care. shame on me for forgetting the phone was in the bag in the first place, however, in a city safe enough to not lock your bike up in the street at night, i didn't think twice (clearly) about leaving an iphone 7 in my bag unattended in a locked luggage room for 3 hours. i had an off feeling about the hotel ever since i arrived but truly wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt as i absolutely loved my time in Copenhagen and wish to return for longer. when i do, however, i most definitely will not be staying at this hotel and i would suggest others do not as well.

As it was raining badly, just after going to the Little Mermaid, we decided to have a "drink" (understand Beer for the boyfriend) in the Brasserie Babette, the bar under the Guldsmeden hotel. The setting is just super cute, design and danish. We sat at the bar and ordered a Little Mermaid's Kiss, a rhubarb cobbler and Rhubarb Mojito for me and a beer for the Boyfriend. Although the waitress forgot about the Mermaid's Kiss, the mojito was just amaziiiiing and when we finally got the cake, it was really really good (and she didn't make us pay, which is really good customer service). Overall, a cute little spot, just in front of the Churchill Park and not overly priced for Copenhagen.

Go to Spotify and hook up to the Guldsmeden playlists. If you are a music freak I think this is one of the best playlists ever. Let me know. This is the best thing I take way from my visit to CPH. Onward.....Did I luck out. Somehow I picked the perfect hotel for me for my CPH visit. It is the best "bulls eye" location EVeR; it just cannot be beat. Whichever direction you go from this location, you will find all and everything good, much within walking distance. A couple of museums around the corner, the Metro, the train station, the best shopping and bars, the queens castle, historical buildings all around, Magasin, the Mermaid and her sister just a lovely walk through this amazingly beautiful park filled with statues, waterfalls and daunting views in every direction including canals , +, all which await you. The lovely Christine upgraded my room after four days cause I told her I was getting a crook in my neck for being in one of the "attic" rooms where you have to slant your neck to shower and to safely move around. She then appointed me to a beautiful room overlooking Churchill park for the rest of my stay; that surely made up for things. Get a room with the park view. I often stood there and looked out and with the cool breezes at night and being tucked in a feather bed made it a lovely combination for good sleep. Watching the snow blanket the park and the city made me feel so good. I still have the smell from there on some of my unwashed clothes and it makes me feel as though I am still in CPH when I close my eyes. The are known for their organic food and also offer raw dishes at the morning buffet (you would never know it is so good). This meal will fill you up for the day. I took a few pieces of the fantastic bread with me so I can enjoy a little munchie in the afternoon. It's a cozy little place and was alright, alright, alright for me for the whole duration of my stay. Elizabeth squeezed me in for an extended stay even though it was becoming fashion week. I love her. It is a sustainable hotel which I love about it. Bamboo toothbrushes, toilet paper and napkins which you can eat, windmill driven power, organic q=tips and safe cotton make up removing pads and wood floors etc. The rooftop spa is a wonderful plus and one should try to fit in this relaxing " chore" each day. All of the staff couldn't do more for you, even holding the elevator door open. The New York Times is available each morning. There were a few glitches that happened which are not really worth mentioning. They happen everywhere. The PARAMOUNT thing about this place is the music which is pumped into this hotel (REPEATED COMMENT). When I couldn't sleep I would go and sit in their cozy sofas and read the New York Times and super enjoy listening to their stream of music. When I go back to CPH, I will not hesitate to revisit the Babette and see all my friends there again. Can't beat the value for the price. Best thing ever..your COCIO fix is available just a few steps away right across the street . P.S. Don't forget to tip...it's the nice thing to do for a staff that goes out of their way to please.

Very small rooms (barely fits a bed), rugs in the hallway that make you trip up and your luggage get stuck (I mean, seriously... did they not realize guests would be hauling luggage that would get caught on the rugs?), poor food quality (chicken was very raw in the middle), and is extremely expensive, without the quality. Stay somewhere else.

I booked a Suite here for myself and my boyfriend. i have to say it was exactly what I expected! The location is smack in the center and across from a beautiful park. Room: Spacious actually very spacious for a European hotel..quick tip bring conditioner! They offer shampoo but no conditioner which was a bummer. The room was beautiful, I loved how authentic it was. I would absolutely stay here again. Service: Everyone was so friendly and great! They have a bar downstairs and everyone was just so friendly! The staff was so friendly and provided a map so we could have a great time in Copenhagen!

Good place & nice comfortable rooms, but some rooms are too small. Compare to cost and comfort bit pricey

We came here for some light lunch after seeing the Little Mermaid statue. I really wanted to give this place five stars because the decor is striking, the concept cool and the food good quality at a reasonable price. However I think they need to tighten up a few things on the training side for the server that we had. She just seemed a bit aloof and like she felt she was too cool to be there generally, but more specifically was a bit rude at a couple of points. The main one was that she didn't offer us to select from the choices aligned to our dishes (e.g. which bread for the panini, which sauce for the side), but then when we realised we didn't select later on and asked her, she quite sharply said that we should have said. She never came back to give us the bill either. In the end we got up and paid at reception.

I ate a light lunch at the restaurant, did not stay at the hotel. It was a GORGEOUS sunny 70 degree Friday in Copenhagen, and everyone was out in the parks, sunning on the canals and generally in a grand mood. Our first day I. Copenhagen we were exploring and a bit jet lagged and decided to stop in for a late light lunch. We shared a Pig and Goat Panini which was Prosciutto and Goat Cheese. It was the perfect small bite we were looking for. And did I mention the hand cut fries? They were delicious as well. All from an organic, green local sourced restaurant. Top it off with a local Copenhagen beer that we loved so much we went and visited the brewery!

Great boutique hotel. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The bar and restaurant has excellent food and friendly staff. I'll be back.

Very nice with a extreme Green lifestyle / organic theme. Room is comfortable however the price is rather high in my opinion for the accommodations offered.
