"The Copenhagen Admiral Hotel began its life as an 18th-century warehouse on the Copenhagen waterfront, before being turned into a maritime-themed hotel in the 1970s. With the royal family’s Amalienborg Palace on one side, the lively and picturesque Nyhavn canal on the other, and the Copenhagen Opera House across the water, the hotel couldn’t be better placed for feeling like you’re in the heart of Copenhagen’s sights. Historic tall ships regularly dock out front, and, when the sun comes out, locals and guests alike spill onto the waterfront patio for a Carlsberg beer. Inside, the hotel feels quintessentially Scandinavian, with exposed beams and a blue-green color palette. The acclaimed SALT restaurant puts a modern spin on traditional Scandinavian cuisine with inspiration from local, raw produce and French cuisine."

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Admiral Hotel in Copenhagen, and I must say it offers an exceptional experience that beautifully blends tradition with modern comfort. The hotel is situated in a historic 18th-century warehouse, which has been meticulously preserved to retain its authentic charm while incorporating contemporary design elements. This thoughtful setup creates a unique ambiance that is both inviting and steeped in Danish heritage. From the moment you step inside, you can appreciate the meticulous attention to detail that honours the building's maritime past. The interiors showcase exposed brick walls, wooden beams, and stylish furnishings that respect the original architecture while providing all the conveniences one expects from a top-tier establishment. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and feature modern amenities without detracting from the overall historical atmosphere. Moreover, the location of the Admiral Hotel is exemplary, positioned right by the waterfront with stunning views of the harbour. This makes it a perfect base for exploring Copenhagen's rich cultural scene and vibrant city life. The staff are exceptionally professional and attentive, further enhancing the stay with their warm hospitality. In summary, the Admiral Hotel stands out not just for its superb facilities and prime location, but for its dedication to preserving the tradition and history of Copenhagen in an elegant and thoughtful manner. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city who appreciates a blend of heritage and comfort.

This is a 5 star + review. Minor discrepancy with my room was solved immediately. Front desk is a bunch of superstars. Consierge guided me to an amazing luncplace, decided to eat dinner there as well. Room i spotless, clean, cozy and a very comfortable bed. Hotel restaurant and bar has wonderful staff and view. Not forgetting to mention the food, and extensive wine list. Location is perfect. I wish you all the best, and see you all next time in Copenhagen.

Loved my stay at the Admiral Hotel! The building’s old timber beams and waterfront location give it so much character. My room, a loft, was cozy and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and the view over the harbor was beautiful. With so much in walking or biking distance, this is a perfect spot to stay for exploring Copenhagen. Highly recommend!

This is an excellent, well appointed, and well located hotel near opposite the Opera house, alongside the National Theatre, and near the Amelianborg Palace. The parking is very convenient (if available) and comparatively reasonably priced. The rooms are smaller than may be expected, but for a central location this isn't that surprising. Oliver at the front desk was superb in assisting with our requests in relation to our baby daughter, and the bell captain was professional collecting and delivering our luggage. The room service was reasonably priced and good quality, though the breakfast lacked the variety of some other restaurants we have stayed at. Overall this was an excellent stay and we would certainly visit again.

Located near Nyhavn and the Kongens Nytorv train station, the hotel was ideally located in a picturesque part of the city with easy access to amazing restaurants, shopping and more. Was given a free upgrade to a room with a waterfront view. Really cool building and no complaints whatsoever. Not the biggest rooms, but overall value for money, all things considered, is very good in my opinion.

Beautiful Hotel with rustic cozy rooms. Fantastic friendly staff. Great Bar overlooking the waterway. perfect location to historic sights and nightlife. Just blocks away from the King of Denmark's palace, Amalienborg. we even saw the Changing of the Guards

A really nice hotel in a nice area of Copenhagen. A bit on the outskirts of Nyhavn, but still close to virtually every attraction. The area is quiet and posh. Nice rooms and ambience to the hotel. Not quite five stars due to a very pricey breakfast - it is good but go charge 260 DKK on top of the room price is almost robbery. In addition some fluctuating service - some of the staff is five stars, while others could improve a bit in friendliness. But all in all a good hotel and I would like to come back again.

We enjoyed the great location, the friendly service from the staff, and the design of our room. Great robes! Thomas' welcome at the front desk was terrific after a long journey. Great value for an excellent hotel.

Admiral hotel Has experience guest receptionists and personnel. Besides, their fabulous service they provide you with residence preferred locations and attractions suggestions. 24/7 5-starts attitude, modern architecture and well prepared breakfast items. My only suggestion would be to create a variety of breakfast options, as they serve the same items every morning.

The hotel is conveniently located near points of interest like the Nyvan and walking distance to the SMK and The Little Mermaid, And Amalienborg. There is also the bus 66 that stops right next to the hotel and you can take that to Tivoli. The building was an old warehouse and it is right along the water. There are exposed beams on the ceiling and is very pretty. I cannot comment on the staff as we didn't interact with them because we just came and went during the three days stay there. I would just comment that for the price I would think the furniture would be more updated. I would stay here again because of the location.

The pros: in a charming part of town, decent price, comfortable bed, good toiletries, cool art on room walls. Cons: needs a remodel, which is underway (but makes it a little noisy). Hallways are poky and small, rooms are a little cramped, and no air conditioning. Breakfast is good but a little pricey at about $25 dollars a person.

I booked this hotel because it was supposed to be in a beautiful location (Nyhavn) and one of the oldest and grandest hotels in this area. They have a lot of unique features because of their history and the lobby is certainly beautiful. However ... that's where it all ends. The rooms themselves are smelly. They literally smell like old, sour gum. I am not sure how I came up with that but that's what old sour gum would smell like! The rooms are also awkward, small, have random beams in the middle that disrupt the space, and not very updated. The bedding is rough, and the whole thing is just ok. For how much I paid this was most definitely not worth it. The whole place was just outdated and musky. I didn't really see any good that came out of this. I would definitely come back for the lobby, the lobby bar, and even the hotel restaurant because the first floor is just gorgeous, old ambiance and rustic wood ... but don't stay here!

This is an old storage house turned into a luxury hotel. The ambience is fantastic with rustic wood logs exposed throughout the hotel. The front desk is very friendly and professional. The hotel elevators and slow and somewhat flaky. Clearly in need of an upgrade. The rooms are small but with modern / high end Danish furniture. The rooms have no AC so it can be stuffy in a humid summer month. The bathrooms are somewhat dated, but of OK quality. The warm water lines were broken the day I arrived and it took them 5-6 hours to fix the water. On the third day the warm water was shutoff 10-2 for maintenance. Far from ideal for a luxury hotel. The hotel has free wifi and it is of decent speed. The breakfast buffet is another 145kr / $26 per person. The buffet is OK but not too extravagant. You get your normal eggs, bacon, bread, cut meat, cheese, so it could be much worse. Given the lack of AC, and the water problems we are likely to stay elsewhere next time we are in town.

Perfect location. The staff is helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean and tidy, though relatively small. Be sure to get one facing the seaside. The breakfast was phenomenal and had a delicious local touch.

Probably Copenhagen's most unique high-end hotel. Built in a 18th century grain storage building, right on the harbor of Copenhagen, it highlights its classic architecture proudly, with thick brick walls, exposed rafts, and much more. The rooms are not the largest for the class, but they do have a lovely ambiance. Have stayed in both the standard room and the junior suite, both are nice, the suites a bit bigger, and in one-and-a-half stories, with bathroom, living area, and TV in "ground" floor, and the bed above the bathroom, accessed by a stair leading up in a very dramatical way. Beds are large, and very comfortable. Bathroom products are nice, and the junior suite has a bathtub in addition to the shower. The information available in the room includes suggestions for running routes in the area, all of them following the harbour, and taking you to various sights. Haven't actually eaten here, as I've used Copenhagen's many cullinary options instead, but have had drinks in the bar, and it is very well assorted, and staffed by friendly and competent staff. Location of the hotel is perfect, with all of the city within walking distance. Do note that the harbour area has increasingly become an entertainment area, so there can be quite a bit of party sounds outside in warm weather, and as the hotel rooms do not have A/C, you may need to have the windows open at night. Minor annoyance, and the hotel does have complimentary earplugs. All staff is helpful and friendly, and this is one of my favourite hotels in Copenhagen.

We thought we lucked out by having a water front room with a step-out balcony, and in some ways we did because it was beautiful to wake up to the sun reflecting off of the water. Unfortunately, our room (#202) was also located above the outdoor tables for the restaurant, so whenever we opened the door we were immediately met with clouds of cigarette smoke. Being an old, historic building, there is no air conditioning in the room. At night, we left the door open to get some air, but the smoke and the noise made it somewhat uncomfortable. The hotel itself is beautiful and seems enormous. The location is very central. We arrived in a taxi from the airport in about 20 minutes. Check in was easy and efficient. Our room was large enough, though I wouldn't call it spacious. The room itself was charming because of the view and the wooden beams, but the furniture, décor, and carpet were extremely dated and tired, as was the bathroom, which looks like it was last renovated in 1980. Still, the hotel was clean, had good water pressure, comfortable pillows, and reliable wifi. We were running late one morning and asked if the breakfast buffet was still open; we were told yes and sat down. No sooner did we put from fruit on our plate than the buffet began to be packed up around us. Before taking away the hot items, the staff did ask us if we wanted anything else, but our (50 euro) breakfast was spent listening to the banging of dishes being stacked and tables and chairs being moved around us. Overall, the location of this hotel is its strength. However, for nearly $400/night, I would explore other options. I can only imagine that this hotel is unbearable during the summer months.

Beautiful hotel. Nice high ceilings and ancient wood beams. Comfortable and beautiful furnishings in my room. Large modern HD flatpanel samsung TV with HD channels. Some minor problems: by bathroom was not perfectly clean, and as other reviews have reported the walls seem strangely "thin" which is odd, since they have 18" wooden beams suggesting very thick walls. Perhaps no insulation. Lots of noise from rooms above, and to the sides. I love that the room has a huge glass door that I can open all the way to a tiny railing. Its not a full balcony or anything I can step out on, but at least I can lean out and see some more of the city. nice views.

Three star hotel with perfect location! Right on the water and a short walk to shopping and dining. Restaurant and breakfast buffet are expensive and mediocre.maids failed to clean my room 2 out of5 days by 5 pm! No bellboys to help with luggage. Rooms adequate, long narrow hallways as the building was a warehouse. Bed was comfy, but strange large wooden beams at head height. Glad I didn't hit my head!

Walls are paper thin. You will hear everything your neighbors are doing and saying as if they were in the same room with you. If that's ok, then the rest will be fine. Cool building repurposed into a hotel. Nice enough bar. Great location on the water and near Nyhavn. However, I refer you back to the first paragraph of this review.

Nice hotel, location really good, just down by Nyhavn and really short walking downtown to Stroget or some nice gardens to hangout in. The rooms are big and cosy and clean.

Small outdated rooms, thin walls - you can hear your neighbors snoring and having sex. You can hear the base from the bar or a neighboring venue. Don't bother with this place. Horrible.

where are my slippers? he only time i really thought i needed them and none were supplied. actually if you needed amenities there was a machine downstairs that you feed coins to and it gives you a shaver or a toothbrush etc. if you could get over the musky smell of the place then its quite comfortable. the heating isnt very good but its an old place. breakfast is a absolute rip off so walk 2 mins that way and youll get it for a 3rd of the price. ask for a room away from the front of the hotel as there is a taxi stand there and the drivers get out and yap to each other and play their music all night long

Our stay here was perfect. The staff were all friendly and professional. We loved the room and the view of the harbor and the Opera House from the small balcony. The room was clean and the amenities were lovely. Be sure to have breakfast in the hotel. I've never seen such a wide variety of choices and everything I tried was delicious, worth every penny. I also recommend having dinner at SALT. It was a culinary experience with unique combinations of flavors that worked perfectly with the wine pairings. The location is perfect as well, everything we wanted to see and do was within walking distance and the metro is nearby. We highly recommend staying at this hotel. After reading some of the other reviews with negative comments, I didn't have any of the same experiences. The room was very nice, clean and well sized for a hotel in Denmark (or Sweden). We were there during a heat wave but the room was a comfortable temperature even without air conditioning. We left the balcony doors open and the hotel provided a floor fan which was more than adequate. Our room was very quiet, no noise from neighbors or from the hallways. We hope to have an opportunity to stay here again.

Great location, cozy rooms (albeit maybe a bit on the small side), clean and friendly staff.

I stayed at the Admiral last September. The location is convenient to sight-seeing and the room was adequate, but one night there was a wedding reception that played extremely loud music very late into the night that made sleeping extremely difficult. Our room was simply not far enough away from the party one floor below us. I've always felt that a hotel has to make providing a restful night of sleep the utmost priority for its paying guests. I wouldn't stay here again because the priority was instead given to the late night party.

Lovely hotel, if a bit of a tourist (and tour bus) magnet. Hey, I may be a tourist in Copenhagen but that doesn't mean I want to deal with loads of them! I didn't have a problem with thin walls, though on the first floor, there was a lot of noise from the terrace dining area below. The service was quite polished and warm, and the location is convenient. The bed could have been more comfortable, and I can't fathom how a hotel has a down comforter AND wool blanket on the bed in June.

Really nice. In front of the sea , clean rooms in an unique atmosphere ( the building is an old silos) . In the center of the city, a little bit expensive but like everything here in Copenaghen !!

Old hotel but great staff. Rooms are spacious but need more air circulation. Very close to city centre so everything is a short walk away.
