Kanalhuset

The people who own this did a beautiful job renovating the building and filling it with lovely Danish design furniture, rugs and objects. The locals seem to love the place for a communal dinner. The common rooms are light-filled and lovingly decorated as was the apartment we stayed in. The bar was a great place to grab a bite or drink. Our apartment had a full kitchen that we never used but the washer/dryer came in handy. The apartment was very spacious and looked out onto the canal. Again filled with unique vintage finds. Comfortable beds and linens. The place is very rule oriented compared to the USA. No early check-in and even if you are staying there renting a few apartments, no priority for dinner reservations. There are a few steps down with your luggage to an elevator. You are on your own concierge and luggage wise. We found the location very good and central. A metro line a few blocks away. I especially appreciated this hotel was very Danish and not a cookie cutter place but also stylish and comfortable. (The owners have great taste) Breakfast and open face sandwiches were delicious.

Situated right along one of the canals, and within 3 miles of Stroget, Tivoli, Nyhaven, and a gaggle of good restaurants, including several of the world's best, the location was perfect for us. Staff was friendly, there was a nice restaurant on site, and the apartment we stayed in was gigantic by European standards; complete with kitchen, it was perfect for us to have breakfast in before heading out each day, and it was bright and airy. This really was a much better option than any hotel we could imagine - get one of the apartments if you can.

Such a nice place! I enjoyed the hotel convenience while living like a local in a Danish design room. Location is also super convenient, you can either walk to some main attractions or access to public transport easily.

Went to Kanalhuset for lunch and wanted to try the traditional Danish open-faced sandwich. They also make their own sop which was a nice surprise. The dining area is filled with long communal farm-style tables, but I decided to grab a cozy spot in the bar area that had a nice view.|They offer several smørrebrød options, but I went all in with the fried herring sandwich paired with a sop made from a local herb. Everything was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing.|All in all, a great experience and a wonderful spot to enjoy classic Danish flavors in a relaxed setting.

Great place in a great location run by caring, effective, efficient and wonderful people. Rooms are nothing to write home about but, who cares...see description above of the people. Activities galore and fun. Community dinner is a must. Want to really experience Copenhagen stay here.

We came for the social dining. Lovely welcoming dining room where you sit on a table of 12 and share the set dishes prepared that day. The food was delicious, there was a full bar menu and the service was excellent. It’s 7pm every night and they cater for vegetarians and allergies. A great Danish experience.

We had the best stay at Kanalhuset back in February 2025. We were kindly given a free upgrade to one of the apartments on arrival which was very kind! It was so clean and tidy, had everything you needed for your stay, heating was working for those cold nights and the staff were just so brilliant they were so friendly and went out of their way to help. We had a drink in the bar one of the nights. The location was brilliant, just down the street for the tram stop and then it took about 20ish minutes to walk to Nyhavn so was in a really good spot. Loved the vibes of the room being all traditional Danish 🇩🇰 can highly recommend this stay to anyone!

​The hotel is well located and beautifully designed, but our stay was very uncomfortable. The room had nowhere to unpack our suitcase, and it was excessively hot. Despite an outdoor temperature of only 12 degrees, our basement room was stuck at a sweltering 26 degrees. The windows barely opened for safety, and the small fan provided couldn't cool the room down. We even tried leaving the hallway door open for a while, but nothing worked. We flagged the issue to staff twice, but they were unable to help.
