Copenhagen Strand

My expectations weren’t too high based on average reviews on Unilocal and trip advisor but I was actually really impressed. The hotel was actually perfect for us. The room was admittedly small but not tiny and we were very comfortable there. The bathroom had a good size. The free wifi worked well. Everything was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was very good as well and felt safe and quiet. The street the hotel is on is actually a little off the very touristy Nyhavn area (almost around the corner), therefore quiet yet centrally located. We were able to walk to all major attractions, several were very close and others a pleasant walk from the hotel.
The hotel itself does not have parking spots but we found a spot right in front of the hotel which was metered parking and not cheap but much better than the nearby parking structure.
I took a look at the breakfast buffet and thought it looked very good. However, we decided against the breakfast buffet because we thought the extra cost of ~25 Dollars a person was pricey. However, we then had a very simple breakfast consisting of 2 pastries and one coffee per person at a bakery and that ended up costing 20 Dollar per person. So in the end I thought we should have done the buffet instead, unlimited breakfast for 25 Dollars would have been better than limited for 20 Dollars. Copenhagen is just that expensive (and the exchange rate was not in my favor on this trip).
The hotel was not cheap but actually one of the less expensive ones at the time of booking.

The hotel has a medium standing. If you take the regular rooms, they are very tiny. The hotel will ask you 200DKK more per night to upgrade to a much bigger room with a river view.
In our room, the shower was leaking that made the bathroom flooded.
The breakfast is ok without being tremendous. They ask for 19 € more per person if it’s not included in the room rate. If it wasn’t included, I would recommend you to go in other places around that propose brunches for 12 – 13 € and more various food.
So, it just misses couple of letters to the name of this hotel to do: Standard

Gutes Hotel in guter Lage. Preis war ebenfalls gut. Wir hatten über ein großes Hotelportal gebucht, das wohl seinerseits bei einem anderen Anbieter sein Kontingent gekauft hat. Auf dem «langen» Weg zum Hotel ist die Info verloren gegangen, dass wir inklusive Frühstück gebucht hatten. Zum Glück hatten wir die Buchungsbestätigung ausgedruckt.
Die freundliche Empfangsfrau hat uns dann ohne Probleme auf «Frühstück inkusive» «upgraded».

Das Strand liegt sehr schön am Rande der Innenstadt von Kopenhagen. Zum Nyhaven und in die City sind es zu Fuß nur ein paar Minuten. Trotz der Zentrumsnähe ist das Hotel sehr ruhig und idyllisch an einem Kanal gelegen.
Unser Zimmer war zwar recht klein aber gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das ganze Hotel macht einen sehr ordentlichen und gepflegten Eindruck.
Wir hatten mit Frühstück gebucht es war auch ok — aber wohl eher für den Gast geeignet, der nicht länger als 3 Tage im Hotel ist.
Alles in allem — das Hotel kann ich jedem empfehlen der die wunderschöné Stadt Kopenhagen zu Fuß oder per Rad erkunden möchte.
