The location is excellent, under five minute walk from central train station and Tivoli. The shared facilities were fine, but not spacious, and poorly ventilated. Noise from other guests in the hallways was very audible. Anyone can ask for a key to access the shared luggage room, which is very poor security. The overall quality and comfort level was […] low.

If you want to pay less but still be comfortable and close to the center, this is the right hotel. The neighborhood is "characteristic" (xxx shops and workers on location), but very safe (I'd prefer to be here than in Chicago downtown).

clean; staff wonderful; convenient to train/bus; walking distance to city/shopping/plaza etc. i would definetely stay here again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Convenient location just a couple blocks from central station, so if you're arriving on land, whether by train or bus, you've got an easy walk to your hotel. Reception area is spacious compared to many Eurpoean hotels and it's got a good WiFi connection in the comfortable lobby—though no connection in rooms. Rooms are another matter. They're very basic, […] without toilet or shower, though they do have a sink. Toilets are shared and are down the hall, as are the shower closets. Rooms have a tiny TV located in a neck-breaker of a position if you wanna see it while in bed. Beds comfortable enough. Biggest deficiency with the rooms is that the walls are PAPER-THIN. You can hear regular conversations between rooms, meaning that if those next to you decide to party or get loud, you'd better go and get yourself invited to the fun cuz you're not likely to sleep. This can be a problem here because the hotel's reasonable rates mean that groups of late-teen/early-twenties folks can afford to let a few rooms and party down. Unlike a lot of hotels that charge you for breakfast, this breakfast IS worth the price. It's an endless buffet of high quality breads, cheeses, yogurts, meats, hard-boiled eggs, juice, milk, coffee, tea. All-in-all rooms are a bit overpriced for what you get here—no private bathroom and the thinnest walls ever. But if you're looking for a good location with great breakfast, this'll do. Read more

A very nice hotel only a few minutes walk from the Central Station!

The Absalon Annex is one of the more affordable hotels in Copenhagen. It's near the red light district, which I wasn't aware of when I booked it, but I walked around at night and it wasn't that bad. The staff was helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. The room itself was a good size. There were 2 single beds set up right next to each […] other to make a double bed. There was a sink in the room, but my room did not have a full bathroom, so I had to use the shared toilets and showers on the floor. There is a small (very small) TV in the room that I didn't even try to turn on. My only complaint is that the carpets smelled of cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. They have a luggage room for you to keep your luggage after or before you check in or out. You need a hotel room key card to get in the room so that means everyone staying there can get in, but for the most part, the other guests aren't usually looking out to steal your belongings. I left my Macbook there and it was fine. Oh, and it's just 2 blocks from Copenhagen central station. Read more

The moderately priced for Copenhagen 1-star annex connects by corridor to the 4-star main hotel, and shares the same attractive entrance. with front desk staffed by very friendly, efficient Danes. Annex rooms are spartan, but very clean. Our twin bedded room had a sink and unlike many cheap hotels, a closet with hangers. Down the hall some distance […] were 2 clean modern showers and 4 tiny toilets , shared by about a dozen rooms, fortunately all rarely occupied simultaneously during our stay May 10-15, 2011. The neighborhood three blocks from Central Station in opposite direction from Tivoli is rife with sex shops and hookers, but the well-run hotel (established 1938) is secure and popular with middle class families and budget travelers, both Danish and foreign. We'd stay there again----2 gay American men, frequent travelers, ages 66 and 71. Read more

Location was convenient, and the place was clean enough, but this was definitely low budget living.

Good location, good and friendly service. Cover are thin, but heating works fine. Nice and clean showers etc... but the room next to toilets is disturbed by toilets doors opening and closing..

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It's the discount section of the hotel, so no breakfast included - it's sort of like a 2 star hotel since it was a little outdated, but after staying in hostels, it felt really nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is actually o.k., no frills hotel in a great location.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great location! Breakfast was great ! Can be a little loud outside if you face the street. There are hookers in the area and my bf was approached when he went for a walk alone at night but they didn't bother him when we were together. Overall it was a great place to stay and the street life added some excitement to our stay!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Pros: - Great location. Extremely close to central train station, and a good base camp for exploring all of Copenhagen. - Amazingly good breakfast: cereals, breads, lunch meat (& fish), juice, pastries. Most important meal of the day! - Very reasonable prices, perfect for 20-something friends or couples looking for a cheap place to stay. - Room was […] spacious and included a cable TV, couch, and a sink. Neutral: - The shared showers and bathrooms were rather small. Didn't bother us at all, but if you prefer extravagantly sized facilities you'll be disappointed. - Located near some strip clubs and porn shops, which may or may not be a problem for you. Although the area seemed a little "shady" at night, the two block walk to/from the train station felt totally safe. Read more

Good service, clean and well serviced room. Not such a desirable part of town but very central.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First of all,it should be classified as a HOSTEL,since there are shared toilets/showers.Anyway,that is something that is written on the site.The positive was that the receptionists are helpful and polite.The main negative is that the walls are very thin,there is NO sound isolation at all.I could hear everyone that was going to the toilet,people even […] chatted on the -narrow- corridor outside my room on their way to the shower.I also noticed a cigarette smell inside (even though I ordered a non smoker's room).Anyway,I don't think That I will stay there again.

Great location a short walk from train station, friendly staff, facilities adequate to budget price, only problem was noisy people in adjacent room who quietened down when we banged on the wall.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I've stayed almost a week here, affordable price, very clean, nice room, good location. I had a single bed, and it was spacious enough. The bathroom was also fine, hot water 24 hours. If you're looking for a nice and pleasant stay at an affordable price in Copenhagen, I reccomend this place.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed in the Annex part of the hotel, with shared bathrooms (no ensuite). The room was simple but comfortable and clean, with all bedding and towels provided, a cupboard, desk, and a sink in the corner. There were separate shower rooms and toilets down the corridor, and these were small, but clean, and although there only seemed to be 2 showers, […] there always appeared to be one available.The service was very good - clean towels every day, friendly helpful staff, a place to leave bags after check out etc. And the hotel is only a 5 minute walk from the central train station, and a 10 minute walk from the city centre. I would definitely stay here again. Read more

Front desk staff very helpful, accommodation basic but clean and hotel very near the Central Railway station and Tivoli.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Stayed in the annexe for one night and got a few hours sleep: the sounds on people walking in the corridor was enough to wake me in the early hours but just to make sure the noise from the rear of the hotel- of deliveries etc, made sure that I was up from 6am. A basic, no frills room which wasn't worth the money paid.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was doing my check out and they told me I have to pay for breakfast. I didn't remember about that, truly. And they took responsibility and did not charged me anything. The room was small but perfect for 1 persona on a budget. Wifi worked perfectly. It's true that the Hostel is next to strep clubs but nobody mess with you. I was alone and always felt […] safe.

This hotel was in a great location! Just minutes away from the train station and main shopping strip. The rooms were simple but clean and the shared facilities were also very clean. overall very impressed with this hotel considering the price.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I think this falls more under a Motel category than a Hotel. It's old, sweaky, the walls are paper thin, you hear everything, everyone who goes by. I was miserable the whole time! This place is in dire need of a make-over.There is NO shower in the rooms ( even though it said so on hotel.com website ), just a sink. You have to share the toilet and showers...I […] just wanted to get out of there frankly. Yes it is located walking distance to a lot of landmarks, but it's not what i was expecting at all. I will not book this hotel again. The front desk staff are pretty nice though. Read more

an excellent hotel with most obliging staff but an english news channel would have kept me in touch with the world out there.

Genuine Expedia guest review

was very upset to realise i had actually booked into a one star hotel and had payed x amount for that which wasnt cheep to say the least. for x amount kr.more i could have booked into a 3 star 50 meters up the road inc.breakfast for 2 people. but in fairness to the hotel when i booked the "hotel" it did say in the website "hotels.com " that it was a […] one star. i thought it was a mistake as my parents had stayed there last year and it was fine that time and outside there is a sign up on the wall that says 3 star hotel. so long story short i thought the one star was a mistake but it wasnt. the room was situated with a view over the back yard which was great but we were right beside 5 toilets and a shower. the walls were paper thin and the other guests were extremely noisy going in and out of these toilets since early. we could also hear a cat which cried constantly but this could be a mistake as at some points we could hear it and thought maybe it was a baby. still undecided if it was a cat or a baby. the communal shower was big and clean but difficult to take clothes off and on again in there. didnt fancy running starkers from my room to the shower. sure the other guests didnt fancy seeing me run starkers round the hotel either. the room itself was warm and clean and i got the single beds like asked so that was great. there was also a tv int he room although we didnt use it. there was unfortunately no kettles ,hairdryers and the usual stuff. it was grand but i just felt and my brother felt we were a little ripped off. but now we know and have learnt not to be so naive again in the future and just because its a 3 star hotel dosent mean that they dont have a section thats one star. one more thing, when we arrived there were a bunch of teens on the sofas in the reception area. one of them was flaked out on a sofa suffering from a hangover by the looks of things. not really something you want to see when booking into a hotel. more what you would see in a hostel. it was si Read more

ok cheap hotel for the budget traveller in a little rough area of the city (drugs,prostitues and pimps) but its safe if your streetwise. good resturants all around (can recommend the "good morning vietnam" resturant on abel cathrines gade) 5 minute walk me and the wife had a great long weekend its close enough to all of copenhagen tourist sights

If you're looking for comfort or luxury, look away now! But if you're just looking for a convenient place to stay, the Absalon Annex (and not the actual Absalon which is much fancier but in a different part of the building) is the cheapest thing you will find so close to the very convenient Central Station and the city center where you won't have to […] sleep in a dormitory. I'll admit the shared bathrooms weren't too pleasant, but they were clean, I was actually lucky enough to have the shared bathroom all to myself since no one else was staying in the wing! The street nearby is a little shabby has a few sex shops but the people are harmless and not too obvious. Not far from the meat-packing district either: where all the bars and clubs are. Plus to take the train to and fro from the airport: excellent location! The receptionists are very nice and helpful too. All in all satisfied Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Its really basic. Not pleasant but doesn't cost a lot either. Wouldn't say it was comfortable, but it was clean and private and if you travel like me, all you need is a place to rest your head at night. That's what you get, and that's all you get. ... Also, expect hookers outside the hotel door. Area is seedy, but didn't feel unsafe. Value doesn't feel […] great, but Copenhagen is an expensive city. Read more

The location is very convinient to everywhere you need to go. Depending on how fast you walk it will only take you 5 minutes maximum walk to the central station.

For a low-budget stay in expensive Copenhagen, this hotel came out tops! Note that there are two hotels in the one location here; the Absalon, which has larger rooms with en suite and nice televisions, and the Absalon Annexe which has basic rooms with shared bathroom facilities. We stayed in the Absalon Annexe, and couldn't have been happier - the […] room was basic but comfortable, well decorated and maintained, bright and airy (I love rooms with operable windows!) and SPOTLESSLY clean, as indeed was the rest of the hotel. The reception staff couldn't have been more helpful if they tried, and the free wifi is a bonus! The neighbourhood is the grungy red light part of town, but boho in a cool kind of way - we had no issues with the pushers and hookers who work across the block, and it is such a convenient and up and coming area. In terms of safety, the surrounding area is just like any other district by a city Central Station in Europe, but the old town is just a stone's throw away; as long as you're street wise there's no need to be nervous. A word of caution; the Danes love to smoke, so if you want a non-smoking room you should ask for it well in advance / at time of booking. For a super cheap stay in a very expensive city I was very satisfied and would reccomend this hotel to other budget travellers looking for a secure, clean base to explore the city. Oh, and they even let you park your bicycle in their private courtyard for free; how Scandinavian is that?! Read more

This hotel is in the area close to the train station, where lots of hotels are clustered. It's also on the edge of the area where the 'ladies of the night' gather, but it's a well lit, pretty busy area, so doesn't feel particularly dodgy. The room I staying in (single, shared facilities) was small but comfortable enough with a sink, desk, small tv and […] cupboard - everything you need really in a budget hotel. The room was clean as were the showers and toilets. I skipped the breakfast (there is another similarly cheap hotel nearby which has a good breakfast for less than half the price of this hotel, but if you don't need breakfast then that's not an issue). I also got an upgrade one week to a room with bathroom included - again, not a huge room but a good bed and a desk, so enough space really. Read more

The good part was the service, I could check in early i.e. 11.30 am. Even after checking out the next day I could use hotel's luggage room and guest area for almost 4 hours. The bad part was, 1. The bed were not at all comfortable. It was not steady at all. 2. The showers for the hot water were too slow. Thanks, Amol

I chose this hotel after reading positive reviews on web and didn't expect much as it's budget hotel. However as freqhent traveller, it was very pleasant stay this hotel with clean sheet and tidy communal areas. Although the wall was thin, next room people were careful on this as well as myself. There is controler for heating and the room was very warm. […] The front desk staff were extreamly helpful and gave a tip for extra service to charge my mobile with usb jack. I would definately stay again this place. After extensive weekend trip over beautiful copenhagen, all you need is hot shower, clean sheet and quiet good night sleep isn't it? oh the location is superb only 7min from central station with very big sign within quiet area. It made much easy for me to travel. Read more
