Hotel Du Nord Copenhagen

The good…
The Hotel du Nord is an older property just a few blocks from Tivoli Gardens, the train station and a key hop-​on Hop-​off (HoHo) transfer point.
The not so good…
— The hotel has no AC, internal ventilation or screened windows.
— The ‘twin’ beds are old and sagging (they push two together to assimilate a ‘queen’)
— Most of the rooms are quite small.
— The single lift is old and very slow.
— The ‘included’ breakfast is lacking.
The Bad…
— The Hotel is across from a large youth hostel, The Urban House.
— The Hotel is just down the street from two burlesque (strip) nightclubs.
— Between the drunk teens from the youth hostel and the drunks frequenting the strip bars the street noise continues ‘till nearly dawn. At which time the street and sidewalk sweeping machines echo throughout the area.
— You trade leaving your windows open for ventilation for the ability to sleep.

Arriving at Copenhagen was exciting, especially coming to a place where I wanted to try the pastries & see the royals!
Upon glancing at the hotel sign & walking towards the area I was pretty unsure about where we were going. However, after spending a few nights at this hotel I have enjoyed myself and would not mind coming back to this hotel.
First of all, the location is great because it is very close to the train station, shopping area, tourist information, and there is a tasteful dim-​sum restaurant right near the hotel.
Second of all, I loved the color of the room. Why? being that my favorite color is teal, the room was practically colored in teal. To me, it had a whimsical feel to the room. It is basically what you need for a room and it is a decent size room. We wanted a king-​sized bed and what they did to accommodate this they put two single or double beds together.
Lastly, it comes with free breakfast which we were certainly happy with, especially how expensive Copenhagen is, it was worth getting this hotel room. Also, the service we received was sweet and simple.

We recently stayed at the Hotel du Nord based on Trip Advisor reviews and cost. At first I was a little skeptical, but once we got there, it turned out to be perfect in every way, shape and form. While the hotel is far from being a five star, for the price and location it deserves a five circle rating in my book on Trip Advisor.
Location: One of the best attributes of this hotel is its location. Very close to the train station, tourist info bureau, shopping, central square and most importantly, the Carlsberg museum and brewery. Also, there is an excellent dim-​sum restaurant across the street.
Hotel: It’s small and personal. The continental breakfast in the morning is more then enough to get you through to the next meal and consists of pastries, assorted breads, cereal and juices.
Room: The room is simple with everything one needs in terms of a place to sleep, a desk to work and a closet to store all of ones stuff. Look at the photos.
Overall, I look forward to my next stay in Copenhagen and will stay here again. Copenhagen is a beautiful but very expensive city. Save some money on your hotel by staying here.
