Hi. Me and my wife are looking for a hotel for 5-6 nights in Copenhagen. Not necessarily luxurious, but beautiful and with sryle. We were thinking of a budget up to 1000Kr, but reading the reviews of several Copenhagen hotels in this site and other posts in the forum, I think we%26#39;ll need something like 1100-1200Kr for what we%26#39;re looking for.
A hotel that seems nice is the Kong Arthur. Do you think it is in a convinient location? Is it walking distance from the center or Nyhavn?
Or should we rather stay in another more central hotel? in that case do you have any recommendation?
The Christian IV maybe? The budget is similar.
Thanks for any recommendation!

In my opinion Chistian IV has a slightly better location than Kong Arthur - but both of them are within walking distance of all major sights in Copenhagen.
Kong Arthur is close to Nørreport station that offers easy acces to daytrips north to Kronborg in Helsingør or east to Roskilde and the vikings.
From Christian IV you could either walk to Nørreport or jump on the metro from Kongens Nytorv.

Thank you for your quick answer.
As you mentioned the possible daytrips from Copenhagen, we were thinking of doing one or two. What do you suggest between Roskilde, Helsingor and Hillerod?
Thanks again.

We stayed at the Kong Arthur last week. We stayed in a superior double (the second to the smallest room size), so the room size was nice. The smallest size room I%26#39;m sure would be *small*. Overall, it was a lovely hotel. The rooms were stylish and updated. The room did not feel drab or depressing, as some hotel rooms can. I looked forward to coming back at the end of the day. The bed was very comfortable. There was work being done rather early in the morning (7am-ish), which we could hear as our room faced the central courtyard, however it was not too bothersome.
I loved the location - it is in a less touristy-area right on the lakes. The city center is about a 10 minute walk right down Frederiksborrogade. Norreport station is about 3 blocks away. Rosenborg Slot and the Botanical Gardens are 3 blocks away, and the funky area of Norreport is right accross a bridge. I%26#39;m so glad we decided to stay there, rather than in a hotel closer to Tivoli/the central train station area, which appeared rather grimy to me.
If you want to stay on budget, be sure to confirm that the buffet breakfast is included in your rate. We booked through Expedia, and were not told that they breakfast was not included (we also did not ask, so shame on us) and were suprised with a $160 chrage for 2 mornings of 2 buffet breakfasts and 2 to-go breakfasts. That hurt.

Hi,
Hotel King Arthur is a very nice hotel with a great location; next to the City Lakes (a beautiful spot), next to Nansensgade - a very interesting CPH restaurant street, a little like Greenwich Village in NY, close to Nørrebrogade and Skt. Hans Torv - another cosy spot with interesting shops and lots of cafes away from the tourist trail plus the KA Hotel is only a short walk from Nørreport Train Station - the busiest in Denmark, a hub for transport anywhere.
Another recommendable hotel is Hotel Guldsmeden on Vesterbrogade, five minutes walk from town hall square and Tivoli Garden - but just tucked away in an area with a local touch and again tucked a little away from the main stream of tourists. Also next to Guldsmeden is Halmtorvet; an awesome area for quality restaurants and cafes. Guldsmeden has a very high personal service for the guest, a smallish, but cosy and comfortable hotel.
Look for deals and bargains, yes, but a few saved bucks can ruin a holiday when you arrive to your base for discoveries - your home away from home should be nice, dont you agree?
King Arthur and Guldsmeden wont let you down!

For day trips out of Copenhagen there are many options, so it is all up to what your interests are.
Hillerod has its lovely, fairytale-like castle. It,s a nice walk through town from the railway-station. There is also a nice baroque garden and a big park in addition to the castle.Hillerod is also a nice, small town.
