"Copenhagen I arrived!"
February 22nd 2020, GreekMiamiMan, Florida, United States
This was a very nice hotel and was not very far from the main train station. There were stores and restaurants nearby with an excellent choice of everything to eat.
This was my trip to Denmark and cant wait to return one day!
"Very nice stay"
February 16th 2020, TOMF, Sweden
Central location. Easy to find a parking spot. Friendly personnel. A very affordable price. Liked the breakfast including gluten free alternatives.
Nice rooms good for an overnight stay during a weekend. Value for money.
"Nice but overpriced."
January 27th 2020, Simone M.
Booked family room. It was cosy but noisy and rickety. Young lass on reception was terrific especially in dealing with our TV that just did not work.
The lady on desk next day not so friendly. Breakfast was just OK. For what I paid, not worth it.
"Great place to stay!"

Great location. Reasonable price. Clean rooms and good bed. Good breakfast. Dinning room could be used for meals brought in for lunch and dinner. Coffee,tea, cookies always available.
Hotel sold beer and wine. We were there with a group and this was just perfect we could sit in the dinning room or sitting room and all visit.

Visit to Copenhagen in September. Hotel very well located. very clean, the staff is helpful. Very good breakfast. Very enjoyable are the unlimited drinks and some pastries available.
I recommend this hotel.
"Quiet & cosy in a great location! "
December 16th 2019, UkKiwi
It’s a lovely ‘boutique’ hotel, it feels small & cosy - despite the large frontage.. There’s a lounge and tea/coffee/biscuits available 24/7, which made going back a pleasure.
The rooms had radiators which meant it was cosy to go back to, but you could adjust to your preference, much better than the aircon /heating systems in most hotels.
All of the staff were really friendly & helpful.
The beds were incredibly comfortable! It was quiet from street noise, a little bit of noise from other guests (mainly banging the stairwell door, but not a big deal). Lovely blackout curtains! So we slept well. Bathroom was good, shower was hot & acceptable pressure/water flow etc.
Breakfast was very nice, and served 7-11 so a time to suit everyone.
We were made to feel very welcome & I really couldn’t fault it!
It felt very safe/comfortable to walk back to alone at night
"Small, cozy hotel in the University District"
December 15th 2019, path51, North Carolina, United States
Quiet hotel (even with a room by the stairs and elevator. I particularly liked the windows that opened on a courtyard (except for a strange neighbor in the condo next who thought I was a peeping Tom).
Quite convenient to the Botanical Gardens and Palace Gardens. Friendly staff.
"Good location and quiet place"
December 15th 2019, tuggateja, India
Stayed at this property for a couple of nights. Seemed like a quiet place where people travelling solo / on business or even families with kids can safely reside.
The rooms are a bit small, but are clean and well maintained. The staff was extremely friendly and happy to help at all times.
December 8th 2019, breweruk, Great Britain
We had four nights in Copenhagen staying at Hotel Christian IV. It's in a great location, less than 10 mins walk from the Metro. The area is good for restaurants and bars, so you don't have to walk far for an evening meal.
We had a room at the back, which was quiet and comfortable. We slept really well on all four nights. The breakfast is excellent, enough spread out to keep us going until dinner time. We loved returning in the evenings for a glass of wine and a beer in the guest lounge where free tea, coffee, juice, water, and biscuits are available all day and evening. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they were a big part of the great feeling this hotel leaves you with. We loved the quaint charm of the place. We will certainly be staying here again on our next visit to Copenhagen.
"Great Stay and Homely Feel"
November 26th 2019, Pauline Ong, Singapore
The hotel gives a "Grand Budapest Hotel" feel especially in terms of the front desk and elevator (not that we are complaining). It is really quite rare that we get to experience such kind of hotel.
The housekeeping staffs were there everyday to tidy our beds, which is something that we appreciate. Breakfast was simply and great. The only concern we have was the toilet, which reeked strongly of chlorine or bleach when we first entered our room and went away after we started to shower. They also provided coffee/tea/ice water/juice and cookies, fruits all day in the lounge.
"Great location and very friendly staff"
November 23rd 2019, Kirvil H, Spain
A friendly employee gave us an upgrade, so we got a very nice room with a wiew to a picturesque back yard.
The head of the breakfast staff was very friendly and made fantastic decorations out of fruit and vegetables.
"Good location, nice lounge area"
November 12th 2019, Simon L, Great Britain
The hotel is well located and right next to the park. Front desk was friendly. Breakfast was good quality. though I had hoped for proper coffee. I used the lounge area in the evening, which has a nice decor and atmosphere.
They don't serve dinner but you can bring food back and use their plates and cutlery, which worked well. I would have given 4 stars but the room was a bit small and overheated. I opened the window to cool it down which worked but was then woken by someone making noise in the street at 4am (not the hotels fault). Would stay here again and ask for a room facing away from the street. Expensive but then so is everything in Copenhagen.
"Great hotel and location!"
November 10th 2019, mrscapt945
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Great location. Easy to get to local attractions. Breakfast was wonderful. Even afternoon treats were good. Room was clean.
Staff were very helpful, even called for taxis to take us to our cruise ship! Highly recommend.
"Excellent Location, Services, and Cleanliness!"
October 25th 2019, Austin C, Arizona, United States
My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and the location is ideal. We were able to walk everywhere with ease which allowed us to easily see everything in a timely manner. The room was exceptionally clean.
My wife never walks barefoot on hotel carpet but they were so clean that she did. The breakfast was amazing. I'm not a breakfast person but I've been craving their breakfast every since we left. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to use the hotel computer in the lobby/dining area and check in to our return flights and print our boarding passes. The price, amenities, breakfast, cleanliness, and LOCATION make this the ideal place to stay in my opinion.
Pro Tips: Eat at Gasoline Grill just around the corner, to die for burgers. Purchase the Copenhagen Card, got us in EVERYWHERE and gets you free public transportation
October 22nd 2019, Jonas T
All what you would expect on your stay in hotel ...this hotel has it!!! : Nice and clean rooms! Great location! Amazing breakfast (fresh food and great selection!).
Excellent staff service! Thank you very much! We definitely will be back! Recommend!!!
October 7th 2019, Brendan O
Always helpful, smiling staff. Very clean and quiet room. Comfy bed. Great breakfast choice.Small hotel with personal touch.Very central location close to all transport links.
Excellent value for money. Exceeded our expectations.
October 5th 2019, Eileen S
Had a week here and was very happy with everything, friendly staff, also very helpful and always had a smile on there faces. We had a family room which was just right for us.
Breakfast had a good verity. Tea & coffee available all day in the lounge as well as biscuits & Danish pastries.
Location was also a bonus and , so many restaurants and coffee shops to choose from.
Would recommend this to my friends & relatives.
"In the heart of it all!"
October 4th 2019, Paul K, Canada
Great location nearby all walking attractions. Ultra clean hotel with first rate service. Staff were quite friendly and helpful and the breakfast is over the top. Parking nearby was a bonus although not cheap.
Only thing we wished for was a larger room. A double standard room is ok for one person but a bit tight for my wife and I for 3 nights. Otherwise a real charm nearby the Rosenburg Palace.
"Convenient & quiet location"
September 30th 2019, Trudy J, Swansea, Great Britain
We had a good sized room on the third floor and had everything we needed. No air conditioning but a fan was supplied, was a must as it was so hot when we were there.
Breakfast gave a reasonably varied choice, the Danish pastries on offer were tasty and they left these out so when we returned from a long sightseeing day it was pleasant to help ourselves to a cup of tea or coffee in the dining area with a pastry. Great location as central to most of the popular sightseeing places you would visit. A very nice Thai restaurant within a 6 minute walk (opposite direction to Rosenborg palace), plenty of places to eat nearby.
"My trip to Copenhagen"
September 23rd 2019, Berniece W
Hotel Christian IV was a comfortable stay, I loved the relaxed environment and the staff are awesome. The daily coffee and pastries was very welcoming.
The hotel is centrally located and makes for good walking in and around Copenhagen city Centre.
"Great boutique hotel in a great location"
September 18th 2019, rfg307, New York, United States
This was my second time staying at Hotel Christian IV. The location is perfect, the breakfast is great with many choices, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
I opted for a single room and found it to be the ideal size for a solo traveler. It was clean and comfortable. Another nice touch was the complimentary pastries and beverages offered throughout the day. I would stay here again.
"Wonderful and helpful staff."
September 11th 2019, SeattleShiloh
We booked the hotel through a 3rd party site by mistake (we thought it wa the hotel's site) and that proved tp be a big mistake.
The 3rd party site doubled booked us and then could find their own paperwork to correct the booking. We reached out to the Hotel Christain IV for help . The hotel was responsive and as supportive as they could be, but could not undo the booking. Eventually we resolved the double booking problem and will never use a 3rd party site again. We were very impressed by the Hotel staff's responsiveness through email, so we had high expectations for our stay. The hotel is a small, older hotel with an excellent central location. We were very pleased to find that staff was even better in person. They were friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and met our needs. We would stay there again if we ever get back to Copenhagen.
"Best location, but with a few problems"
September 5th 2019, david0kun, Israel
We've spent 9 nights in this hotel, in a room with three beds. I believe its location is the best. The 24hrs Tea/Coffee & cookies in the lobby is a great idea.
But there were a few problems: the mattress were too soft, we had several days with bad smell- maybe stench from the garbage container on the backyard effected by the hot weather (so rooms towards the street might be better), there is no AC and it was pretty hot those days (26-19 degrees Celsius).
September 2nd 2019, PattyBrisbane, Australia
The hotel is well located, within walking distance to all the sightseeing attractions. Our room was tiny and a bit stuffy. Luckily we didn’t get really high temperatures. If you opened the window to get fresh air, you couldn’t sleep with the noise of the street.
Our bathroom was spacious, with good lighting and good shower. Both bathroom and bedroom looking very clean. The breakfast was good, but the coffee/ tea/ biscuits available throughout the day was a really nice extra touch. Also good service and friendly staff.
"Perfect location, great staff and friendly welcome"
August 22nd 2019, Mike W, Great Britain
We booked the hotel as it was close to the centre of Copenhagen for the Ironman event - we didn't want to have to hobble far from the finish. What an absolute gem of a hotel it was.
If you're looking for a stunning hotel with state of the art features then this isn't the place for you but if you're looking for somewhere where you are welcomed, the staff can't do enough for you, the location is perfect and the amenities are ideal then the Christian iV ticks all of the boxes.
The breakfast in the morning is fabulous with a wide range of food that should suit all tastes. We asked if we could have an early breakfast on race day and the answer was of course - nothing seemed too much trouble. There's coffee / tea with pastries and biscuits available 24/7 which is a lovely touch when you've been out all day and ready for a little sit down,
The room we had was clean and spacious enough - it's not the most modern but it's definitely more than adequate. The hotel is situated a 10 minute walk from the main shops and restaurants so is perfect, It's also on the edge of a beautiful park so great for a nice stroll.
All in all I can't thank the staff enough for helping us out over the long weekend. We know a lot of triathletes who are now thinking of doing the Copenhagen Ironman and will be recommending they stay at the Hotel Christian IV.
"Overnight before boarding a ship. . ."
August 11th 2019, Jody B, Texas, United States
We have been to Copenhagen several times. . .I did quite a bit of research on hotel suggestions, etc. . I chose Hotel Christian IV based on what other travelers wrote on Trip Advisor and I have to say, I was NOT disappointed.
From the moment we arrived til the time we checked out, the staff was very nice, very accommodating, etc. We thought the location was perfect. . It wasn’t in a loud part of town, however, you could walk to shops, restaurants and we were pleasantly surprised, it’s literally down the street from King Gardens and the palace which we had visited on our last trip to Copenhagen. . .it was a short cab ride to the pier the next morning. The room was nice, though typical for European hotels. ..small. . But, again, just being there over night it was perfect! The bathroom/shower was great! The b’fast was very nice and they had coffee/tea/cookies all afternoon! I would definitely recommend this hotel. . .
"Great location in an older style hotel"
August 9th 2019, TDakin, Canada
Stayed four nights in this older styled, quaint hotel. Location was excellent and was a short walk to all the major sightseeing attractions. Staff was super pleasant and helpful and the rooms were a reasonable size.
The lobby area is very compact with a good sized breakfast area right beside it. Breakfast was included and was continental style. Bikes available for rent as well too so you can easily explore the city. Overall great stay with only minor complaint being the noise from the street at night.
"Great location but hotel could do with an upgrade"
July 25th 2019, persion_princess, Great Britain
Location of this hotel is great. Right next to the Kings Park which leads onto the main shopping area. Also, only a few minute walk to the canals. Staff are welcoming and helpful.
Hotel is nice but I feel it could do with an upgrade. The breakfast is very minimal; although tea/coffee and water is offered throughout the day. The bedrooms are adequate but the beds are awful and the pillows are just the most uncomfortable pillows I’ve ever slept on. The room gets hot and the bathroom is even worse. More storage space in the bathroom would be nice and a better shower. Would only recommend this hotel if you don’t mind a couple of uncomfortable nights sleep.
"Great Location, Good Perks, but Rooms not Great"
July 18th 2019, Meghan S, New York, United States
Pros: *Free Danishes, Coffee, Tea, and Juice all Day. It was so nice to come back after a long day of touring and have a "pick me up" snack and coffee. *24/7 desk service
*Desk called cabs for you and the cabs came in less than 5 minutes
*Desk sold postcards and stamps (but be forewarned stamps in Denmark are so expensive!
*Free Breakfast in the morning starting at 7 am. Coffee, tea, yogurt, cereal, toast, jam, cold ham, salami, cheese, fruit, food refilled frequently.
*safe in our room (But unfortunately safes seem only available in deluxe rooms, I wish they were available in every room since that is so important for travel)
*great location. About a 5 minute walk to Nyhavn, right next to Rosenborg Gardens which is nice for picnics. Safe area.
*The rooms were very worn, shabby, old. Carpets, bedding, furnishings all seemed old, dusty, worn, shabby. I thought about giving only 2 star rating because of this.
*The beds were very uncomfortable, with one very flat pillow.
*The room definitely had a smell to it, which dissipated when you open the large windows.
*Our room did not look anything like the photos on the website.
*We had a deluxe room for three people, but the third person slept on a futon which was also kind of uncomfortable.
*Paid for early check-in at 11, which we didn't have to pay---and if we did have to pay, wish we could have checked in even earlier then.
*Overall I wasn't miserable, the room totally served our needs. We chose this hotel over others for the price and the free breakfast not for a glamorous stay. It definitely was fine to stay in, but wasn't the kind of hotel you couldn't wait to come back to after a long day of touring to relax in your room.
*Windows opened onto the street and street was a bit noisy, didn't bother us, but worth mentioning to others reading this that are more sensitive to noise.
*No AC but we slept with the window open and were fine
*includes 2 free water bottles which was nice.
"Hotel Christian IV - Friendly staff great location"
July 13th 2019, TheBabyDoc, Maryland, United States
Clean hotel with very friendly helpful staff. Breakfast was included and was very nice. Loved the location. Easy walking distance to major attractions. Only complaints were very tiny elevator.
Really only for two people; our shower drained slowly and they were unable to fix "because it was Sunday" and our friends toilet was missing a bolt and was "wobbly". However, because the location was so good and the staff so helpful in recommending restaurants and other local attractions, I would definitely stay here again if in Copenhagen.
"Just a hotel"
July 9th 2019, my-KDH, Australia
We spent 7 nights here to get to know Copenhagen ... a great location with easy access to all major Copenhagen attractions. It is just a little dated.
I know I have spent most of my travel time in Australia and Asia ... this one does not compare... Breakfast is very good but housekeeping leaves you frustrated due to a lack of attention to detail and you need to go to reception for service. The bathroom I would say belongs in the 60’s.
Not much the hotel can do but the neighbourhood is noisy in the early hours of the morning with noise echoing like a tunnel.
July 6th 2019, Irina J, Maryland, United States
The hotel location is great. Easily accessible by metro from the airport and located within walking distance to all major attractions. The staff was very friendly. The room was clean. The breakfast was good.
They also offer complimentary coffee, tea, juices, and pastries throughout the day which is a nice touch considering that Copenhagen weather can be cold even in the summer.
"Great location at a reasonable price; helpful and friendly staff"
July 6th 2019, bob94523, California, United States
We stayed early in July 2019. Hotel is centrally located near the King’s Garden, and 10-20 walk to many attractions, the Stroget Shopping district, restaurants and more.
We had room 12, on the first floor (for Americans, the second floor). The room was clean and comfortable with very simple furnishings. The hotel itself is quiet, but we heard talking on the street late into the night.
We paid about $250 USD per night, not a bad price for expensive Copenhagen. This included a nice breakfast: selection of pastries, breads, meats, coffee, tea, juice and fruit. A pleasant surprise - pineapple in the shape of a butterfly!
Recommended for those who tour most of the day and want a good start and end to their day.
"Lovely stay at the Christian IV Hotel"
July 4th 2019, R12341234, Canada
We had a two night stay at the Christian IV hotel. The hotel is very well located in a safe, quiet area, right next to some of central Copenhagen’s nicest parks. Our room was small, but was clean, and had everything we needed.
There is a lovely lobby downstairs with plenty of seating for breakfast or a break during the day. The breakfast was fabulous with freshly baked bread from the Trianon Bakery, carafes of coffee, fruits, cheeses and yogurt, among other things. As well they had coffee, juice, fruit and snacks available all day. It was a good value for the city centre. We would definitely stay here next time we come to Copenhagen and strongly recommend for others.
"First stop this year."
June 24th 2019, Resort03086123712
We,ve been to Copenhagen briefly before, but this time we stayed four nights. The hotel was in easy walking distance to all of central nCopenhagen, while being on a quiet street next to a major park.
I liked that since In love to walk. The staff were available to answer questions about the area, and they nhad lots of brochures for day excursions.

We liked the location on a quiet street near a large park. Nice neighborhood with lots of restos. Walking distance to all of central Copenhagen. Nice staff. Good value.
Same menu for breakfast each day but food was fresh and good quality
"Hotel has a top location to start seeing Copenhagen!"
June 17th 2019, kaernten9, Austria
I was really satisfied with my room. We booked the superior double - and that was a good choice. The bathroom could be more up-do-date, but everything was clean, so it was ok.
Breakfast as very good - a choice of nearly everything you could wish for. Staff was very helpfull and friendly.
Absolut top is the location. It's a perfect start to discover Copenhagen.
"Wonderful staff that went far beyond the call of duty"
June 14th 2019, Jerry R
We stayed for five nights in May. The second day of our trip my wife fell on some museum steps and badly sprained her ankle.
When we got back to the hotel I told the desk clerk what had happened and asked if there was someplace in Copenhagen where we could rent a wheelchair. Instead, the desk clerk and the owner put their heads together and the owner called his father and asked him to loan us his wheelchair (which he apparently did not need to use for a few days). They went and got the wheelchair and our trip was saved. In addition, when one of the other hotel workers heard what happened she brought in an icy/hot cream that my wife used to treat her ankle. We will be forever grateful to them for their genuine kindness. Thank you.
"Great location, great staff"
June 10th 2019, Iveltravellers, Great Britain
We recently stayed here for five nights and were very pleased with its quiet but central location. The Rosenborg Castle, Kongens Have, Nyhavn, Amalienborg Palace, National Art Gallery, Botanical Garden - all are within an easy walk.
The service at the hotel was exemplary - when we found that we had a plumbing problem in our room, a quick chat with Joy on the front desk, and she was there with her toolkit. After ten minutes or so she admitted defeat and offered us an alternative room for our stay. That said the rooms were adequate but the fittings were a little tired, especially in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable however.
The beaklfast buffet was extensive with a wide choice of mainly cold dishes. We liked being able to get tea/coffee during the day - just what you need after doing the sights. There are plenty of restaurants in the area to cater for all tastes - we tried an Italian, Cantina and a Danish, Vita - both very good.
All in we would recommend the hotel as a good base.
"Pleasant hotel, good location"
June 8th 2019, BrianWhi, Great Britain
On first entry to the hotel, the reception is a bit dingy and cramped, and the rooms are basically furnished decorated and equiped. But, it is a nice hotel, in a good location for easy walking to most attractions and sites, and there are lots of restaurants nearby.
The staff are friendly, and the breakfast is good. They provide tea/cofee and buns all day.
"Wonderful hotel in Copenhagen"
June 5th 2019, rgtiedeman, Minnesota, United States
Stayed at this hotel for a week in May. Wonderful room in a very nice neighborhood. Just a a block from the King's Garden. Just a few blocks from both a subway and train station. Lots of good restaurants and shopping nearby.
They have an excellent breakfast buffet in the morning. And they provide coffee, tea and some sweet treats during the day. If you are heading to Copenhagen definitely check out this hotel.
"Adequate, not great"
June 3rd 2019, namklim, France
We spent five nights at the hotel. The room (Superior Double Room) was adequate but not as luxurious as many of the photographs appear to indicate. It was rather basic and plain.
All the appearance of an older hotel room that had had a partial renovation. Apart from the stairs there is only a single small three-person lift.
There were only a few, not very well-placed, electric outlets for charging phones, cameras, etc.
There was a wooden sill across the bathroom door which you needed to remember and to step over. The corridor-like bathroom was just about adequate but the fittings were not very high quality. There were hooks but no where else to dry towels. We put ours on the radiator but the cleaner helpfully(?) put them back on the hooks in random. There was no room for two toiletry bags and very little shelving to keep items out.
The buffet breakfast was good but the choice was the same each day. Some cooked choices would have made it less repetitive. There were no drink-making facilities in the room. During the day hot drinks and pastries were always available in the breakfast room.
May 20th 2019, Jeremy N
This was our 2nd stay at Hotel Christian. This time we also had friends with us to watch our sons run the Copenhagen Marathon. As before the hotel has been excellent.
Well placed in the city for all the attractions, especially with a bike, and easy to get to ans from the airport. Great breakfast, afternoon refreshments and comfortable rooms and beds. We will stay again. Thoroughly recommended.
May 15th 2019, Chris-in-Discovery
The hotel is centrally placed but on quiet side of the city and very close to a wonderful garden (open from 07:00-22:00). The staff is very welcoming and helpful and the breakfast has been placed on time and with variety of options.
During the day, after breakfast, in the lobby area, there is free coffee and tea as well as cookies or other sweets and fruit. This is a value added idea and a certain plus to my staying when we gathered with colleagues in the evening.Totally recommended!
"Location, location, location. Perfect."
May 15th 2019, georgerY1555GE, Florida, United States
Wonderful sites in walking distance. Room a bit tiny but clean and comfy. Breakfast awesome. Wanted to stay home and keep eating the luscious bread all day. Several Yogurts each morning. Beautiful fruit platter with eye catching presentation.
Steering containers of coffee on each table. Steaming water available for tea. Perfect thin sliced ham, creamy cheeses and lets not forget the Danish pastries. This is a go back to hotel.
May 6th 2019, Linda53126Richard, Wisconsin, United States
Perfect for getting to museums and historic areas. Clean, quiet area. The staff was extremely helpful when asked and accommodating. The room was nice sized and clean.
No outlet in bathroom was a little inconvenient. Breakfast buffet was attractive and well stocked but after four days there a little variety would have been appreciated.
Was perfect for most of our requirements.
"Perfect location for tourists, and a good value hotel"
May 1st 2019, Jim G, Minnesota, United States
The hotel is an amazing location in central Copenhagen close to everything. The staff is amazingly helpful and friendly. The breakfast was simple but high quality.
There is a beautiful royal rose garden just across the street.
We did have a few minor maintenance issues in room 26 (wet floor by windows and running toilet but they were a minor annoyance
"Older American couple"

The hotel is a quality accommodation. The staff are most helpful and any needs we had were met. The breakfast foods are plentiful and varied.
The breakfast area is available all day for having a cup of tea or other beverages (cookies too). A nice, convenient location.
"Birthday in Købhavens"
April 16th 2019, Erikrapule, France
Very good hotel in the city centre. We had a cosy room, the bed was french type, locker in the room, and the bathroom was a bit small but very clean. Toilet products are ecofriendly and plastic packages free.
The hotel staff is very friendly and efficient. Good choice at the breakfast buffet. We will certainly book there again.
April 12th 2019, wayne337, Great Britain
I so much wanted to be positive about this place here are the pro's...very comfortable bed. free pastries and drinks available but that's about it.
The con's are my room was pretty shabby, lots of marks and poor paintwork and stains on walls and shower curtain, there was no safe or fridge and even the quality of breakfast was a little underwhelming. When I pay £142 a night I expect a fairly high quality in return, I did not get that here.
"Cozy hotel with great location"
April 1st 2019, GGlen78, Denmark
This is a cozy, older establishment with all the necessary mod cons. Great location which is central, but nevertheless in a more residential area and therefore quiet. Staff were very helpful and efficient.
Breakfast was fine. Wifi worked OK.
March 29th 2019, Beatriz G, Brazil
The room was comfortable and clean. The most important: although it was an old building, it had an elevator and our stay at the fifth floor was easy to manage.
The breakfast was variate and very good too.
"Great Hotel, Great Location, Great Staff"
March 21st 2019, Ann T
We really enjoyed this hotel just steps away from the Kongens Have park that surrounds the Rosenborg Castle. The friendly and helpful staff members were key to our positive experience, and steered us to very good restaurants within easy walking distance.
Having the breakfast room available throughout the day with complimentary hot drinks and pastries was a real plus, a nice place to relax a bit after a lot of sightseeing. Rooms were simply furnished but clean and more than adequate. We didn't want a big chain hotel experience while staying in Copenhagen, and Hotel Christian IV was an excellent choice for a smaller, more personal hotel stay.
"Lovely Hotel! Great Location!"
March 13th 2019, dianeyfam, New Jersey, United States
Thanks to TA I selected this hotel & was not disappointed! It is beautifully, thoughtfully designed & appointed, well-maintained & serviced with good value comparatively speaking.
Meeting up with our college student while studying abroad in CPH,we selected a triple room. A sweet, classy, hotel that offers quiet cozy comfort after a long day touring Copenhagen.Eclectic,stylish modern Scandinavian decor with beautiful textiles on the furniture, bedding, throw pillows.Even the artwork hanging on the walls throughout was quite special.The triple room was roomy and comfortable. Yes the bathroom wash sink was a bit small but that is completely normal in Europe, so get over it! The breakfast was a real treat! Delicious homemade breads! The buffet was set out beautifully with a yummy choice of meats, cheeses, granola and adorably cut fruit! To enjoy a breakfast at a table with real china & white tablecloth & soft grey runner was a delight! & the hotel offers coffee, tea & cookies all day & night to enjoy in the dining room & small cozy lounge. Great friendly efficient staff & perfect location walkable to center city or metro! I would definitely stay again!!
"Good location and price"
March 13th 2019, tomis, Seattle, United States
This is a cosy hotel in a good location. Breakfast can get a little repetitive, but is otherwise adequate. Rooms are basic and rather plain, but overall a good value for the money in an expensive city like Copenhagen.
Parking is available in a nearby building at a somewhat discounted price, ask the hotel receptionist to explain to you how to use the parking tickets they issue, the process is a little cumbersome. Don't bring a car if you don't have to, the parking costs are quite steep and you won't need the car while you stay at this location. The hotel is a short walk away from a grocery store and around the corner from one of Copenhagen's hidden gem museums, the David Collection, which contains an amazing and expansive array of Islamic miniature paintings. Will stay again if we end up going back.
"A Great Little Hotel"
March 10th 2019, Warren C, Great Britain
The welcome we received from staff upon our arrival was exceptional. A lovely cosy, hotel with very good facilities and a fantastic central location.
There is a lovely touch whereby the hotel provides complimentary drinks and pastries throughout the day in the restaurant, you just help yourself. The breakfast was a very nice continental choice with some warm food options.
There was good WiFi coverage throughout our stay. The main room was a good size with all the usual amenities (safe, hair dryer etc. But no tea/coffee making facilities) but the bathroom was rather small, giving very little leg room when sat on the lavatory. There was no expelair/vent either so it gets rather steamed up after a shower.
The bed was nice, we slept well - we would stay here again.
"A nie hotel in «Indre by»"
March 10th 2019, Morten_Bing, Norway
This is a very nice hotel in central Copenhagen, close to Kongens Hage, and close to S-tog, metro, restaurants, shopping etc.. Friendly staff, very good breakfast (not egg and bacon, but that is fine with me).
The rooms are not big, but Ok. This is my favourite hotell in Copenhage and I stay here everytime I visit this city.
"Friendly hotel with staff that go the extra mile"
March 4th 2019, SCHeape, Great Britain
This was a lovely little hotel within easy reach of the centre of Copenhagen but still in a quiet location. The staff were unbelievably helpful and I felt very well looked after.
It was lovely to find a hotel that offered little extras like the juice and cakes available at all hours and a space to sit and relax outside of my room. Copenhagen is expensive so like many expensive cities the rooms were small for the price. The hotel has been designed to make up for lack of space in your room by offering a relaxing lounge space where you can help yourself to coffee, tea, juice, pastries and biscuits at no extra cost. It is close to a lovely park and the main attractions that Copenhagen has to offer. Despite being very small the hotel has a small lift so you don't need to carry the bags up to the upper floors. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable and, important to me, the bedroom had windows that opened. I didn't have the breakfast so I cannot comment on the meal and the hotel does not offer evening meals. However, it is close to a couple of small supermarkets and I chose to buy my evening meal and eat in the area with tables set for breakfast. As this area is also available for pastries and drinks in the evenings there are small plates available and of course cups and glasses. Hence, I had a pleasant space at which to eat my meal.
The staff are the diamonds that make the hotel shine. They were all friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and they were available 24 hours a day. The hotel and the rooms taken alone are not particularly inspiring as the rooms are small and the hotel is not blessed with a gym or little extras in the rooms. However, I have given the hotel 5 stars because the hotel is run to keep the guests happy with friendly staff, free refreshments and clean rooms with comfy beds.
"A friendly hotel in downtown Copenhagen"
February 16th 2019, David P, Great Britain
This is a very well run hotel with really friendly staff in a good location in Copenhagen. I have stayed several times and it is always a pleasure.
This is not a supersonic 5 star hotel, it is a genuine friendly hotel and that counts for a lot in my view.
"All about the location"
February 5th 2019, rossf960
The lady who first greeted us was the first person we had spoken to in Copenhagen and we thought she came across very unfriendly. She wasn’t rude, we just felt like an inconvenience. Luckily she seemed to be the exception in Copenhagen.
Apart from that we thought it was excellent for our needs. Copenhagen is expensive so this hotel is more expensive than a hotel with the same facilities in in other locations but you have to expect that. Room was quiet and clean. All other staff friendly. Breakfast great. Location perfect. Really enjoyed our stay, would go back.
"Perfect place to stay"
January 20th 2019, Nicole_ehall
Tucked away on a quiet street but close enough to all the "tourist" areas. The room was pristine, and the breakfast delicious! I must give their staff HUGE compliments for working so graciously with re-booking after I had made a mistake in my initial booking.
They had the friendliest staff, and we can't recommend this hotel highly enough!
January 4th 2019, himynameisjen, California, United States
I spent six nights here and really enjoyed my stay. The location is perfect. The staff is all very friendly and the breakfast was varied and plentiful.
The rooms are clean if a bit spartan. I would have really liked more outlets in the room, in better locations. One thing I would like to commend is the list of recommended restaurants they included in the welcome email they sent a few days before my stay. I tried many of their suggestions and they were all wonderful. It was so helpful.
"Next time I will book this hotel again!"
December 23rd 2018, Gijs B
spacies end clean room, good beds, very friendly staff, quality breakfast, At early arrival in the morning we were even offererd to join breakfast and at check out before breakfast time we were allowed to make sandwishes an were offered coffe to go without asking fotr it.
We felt welcome in this hotel!
"Great location, Hotel ok"
December 18th 2018, m w, London, Great Britain
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. I would say my view is largely positive:it was a fantastic location, close to Nyhavn, city centre, Rosenborg. I found all of the staff members polite and happy to help -
we had a couple of recommendations for a coffee. The breakfast was included, which was good as it saved us buying one meal a day. This was majority breads with cheese/ham, pastries, boiled egg and cereals - so although not hot food, a fair selection with juices and coffee. They also left out drinks and some remaining pastries which you were welcome to have later in the day which I found a nice touch. They will also store your bags if you cannot check in yet (early flight) and after you check out (late flight) which is great.
The room itself had a really musty smell which was there every time we came back to our room. The room (standard double) was a fair size but you can see elements of wear and tear, particularly in the bathroom so perhaps it could undergo a refresh. At times our room felt a little cool, but I didn't check the radiator level so I might have been able to turn it up. The only other slight negative was that there was no safety deposit in the room itself - apparently only some rooms have them, which wasn't clear at time of booking. We were able to use a safe at reception, which was fine, but i might have put more in the safe if it was in my room as it would have been an inconvenience to keep going to reception.
So overall I would say this hotel is reasonable for the price (as someone else mentioned Copenhagen is pricey!), and a fine base, but I wouldn't rate it quite as highly as some others.
"Stay here and you will never regret!"
December 17th 2018, joetan39, Hong Kong
I should say the critical success factor of being a good hotel is the staff the you meet with every day and their effort to provide a heartful service! From the time I prepared my trip I knew I had made a wise choice!
They replied my email with accurate information and also with valued suggestions that help me a lot!
For every staff I met from reception, ladies serving the breakfast, the house keeping staff, all are helpful and serving us from the bottom of their hearts! The most important one that conribute to this heartful service. Is Kasper the general manager of the hotel! During our stay he tried his very best to make us feel at home!
Talking about meals they serve only breakfast but all the bread,pastery, ham, cheese, yoghurt, egg, fruit and vegetables are fresh and tasty and there are varieties of drinks that recharge you for that day!
Here comes the tricks!
Besides breakfast they serves extremely fresh and crispy cookies, pasteries, fruit juices and hot drinks for the rest of the day! So when you are in the room and feel hungry or thristy you can just go down and grab something. When you return from your sightseeing or shopping you can relax in the restaurant with snacks and drinks and remember they are all FREE of charge!!
Although Christian IV is not located at the heart of the busiest shopping and tourist centre, she is at the mid points of all the places that you will visit! Believe it ir not, take out the map and pin points the place in Copenhagen that you wants to visit and surprisingly you will find Christian IV is located at the cente and all are within 10 minutes if walking distance! One day when you are tired after a busy visit or heavy shopping and you don't want to walk back you can just get a Taxi and the charge is around DKK100 which is a life saver for tired legs! For those who are lazy and wants a direct transfer to and from airport to Christian IV the charge is only DKK300 by meter charge!
Last but not the least the rooms are quite and clean and if I am forced to add comment that the lightning is a little bit dim and yellowish but from another angle it is Scandinavian design that makes you relax and feel at home!
I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to all visitors to Copenhagen and I have confidence you will never regret!
A special regards to Kasper and his team! Thank you!
"It’s not great, but it’s fine"
December 16th 2018, DeborahS570, London, Great Britain
The only word I can use to describe this hotel is fine. Because it is fine. But it’s definitely not great, and it definitely isn’t light and airy as depicted on its website.
I was extremely disappointed when we arrived and in fact I felt quite cheated.
The furniture in our room was dated (the bed massively sagged in the middle - on a twin bed), the room was pretty cold (you have no option to control the temperature in your room - and the curtains covered the one radiator), the bathroom is basic with not even a bath mat provided (and the ‘toiletries provided’ is a bottle of shower gel attached to the wall), but it is all fine and basically functional . And our room also smelt quite musty (in fact I think the floor did - it was noticeable when you got out of the lift). So not the best room.
But the breakfast is pretty good, and the location is ok also. At best this is a 2 star hotel; put it this way - it’s not as good as the 2 star Campanile motel I use when driving through France. But as we weren’t really planning on spending much time in the hotel it was fine.
Overall, if all you are looking for is a half decent bed and somewhere to shower then this hotel is fine. If you are looking for something more than that, then this isn’t the hotel for you. Personally I won’t be recommending it to anyone, and if I do return to Copenhagen I will be staying somewhere else.
December 15th 2018, 772katharineb
Stayed here for 2 nights December 18. Positives: - Good location - Reasonably priced (for Copenhagen standards!) - We has booked the “small double” but got upgraded free of charge to “standard double” (although not without the receptionist first trying to convince us to pay for the upgrade)
- Shower was strong and hot
- Bed was very comfy
- Breakfast was okay - nothing special, and no hot food but bread and pastries etc. were fine
- The receptionist who was there when we booked in was very unwelcoming, bordering on rude. When guests walk into the hotel she doesn’t look up or speak and makes you feel like you are bothering her by simply being there. When we checked out she just silently took our payment and didn’t say anything or look up when we said goodbye. We did note that the other staff member, Anna, was much more pleasant.
- The bathroom did not have any form of heating, which in December means it was absolutely freezing and getting out the shower was not a nice experience. There was also no bath mat or anything for the floor so you had to put one of the towels down to prevent the floor being so slippy and also so you didn’t have to put bare feet on the icy floor. The actual bedroom did have heating although it appeared to be on at odd times and was off in the mornings and when we came home in the evenings.
Overall, I would say this hotel is 2 star standard. If you get a reasonable price then it’s an okay choice for a short stay.
"Their photos are way better than actual room"
December 11th 2018, Kim G, Washington, United States
Looks are deceiving at times. The photos supplied by the hotel show light and bright rooms with fresh paint and furniture but the reality is dated furniture in dark rooms.
It was SUPER average and nothing I would have booked if I'd seen it first.
Front desk staff was nice. The breakfast lacked hot choices like bacon or eggs but it was okay for us. They always have coffee/tea/juice available in the dining room along with pastries or biscuits. Parking is EXPENSIVE and a block or so away in a public garage - make sure you have your license plate number for them to register your parking with the garage or you'll be trekking back to the garage to get it. The location is within walking distance of much of what you'd want to see in Copenhagen. But, it wasn't on par with the photos. I could smell cigarette smoke at times even though it's a non-smoking hotel. Our room was crunched up against a balcony for an apartment building and I think it might have been coming through the walls from the apartment next door.
I was very "meh" about it and wished I'd booked somewhere else. I felt deceived by the photos.
"Old fashioned comfort"
December 2nd 2018, GCW56, Lorient, France
The rooms do have an old-fashioned style, and they play on it to give a real style whilst without losing comfort.
The hotel is nicely central and close to a metro line that can take you directly to the airport.
The room was comfy and the level of heating perfect. It was also quiet and the bed supreme comfortable.
The hotel is very environmentally aware, even if they did change my towels by accident. A soap dispenser by the sink would be better than soap, although I agree that it might be difficult to install - I just reached into the shower.
Nice choice at breakfast with lovely organic bread. You have to look for the eggs, but they are worth looking,g for.
"Cozy modest comfortable hotel"
November 28th 2018, BFBoston, Massachusetts, United States
This is a pleasant hotel that is relatively inexpensive and clearly serves admirably its purpose: clean, comfortable, but ordinary. Good place to sleep plus a nice breakfast included.
This is not a luxury hotel but instead offers a warm environment near downtown Copenhagen. Residential area but near a group of restaurants.
"Overnight before the cruise."
November 12th 2018, LINDA L
Nice place to stay when it is not about the room. They are small, but efficient, and clean. Great location to walk to many attractions.
Nicely done buffet breakfast included, with snacks/water available during the day and a place to sit in the window and watch. We enjoyed our stay.
"Much larger room than expected"
November 8th 2018, Every1sMom, Illinois, United States
This quaint, unassuming hotel has much larger rooms than one would think. We were on a four-week holiday and had quite a bit of luggage. The breakfast and the evening spreads were lovely.
The lift is a 3-person...never have we seen one so small ;) Stairway was much easier to use, even from fourth floor. Relatively centrally located; we walked where we wanted and needed to go.
November 4th 2018, viaggiatrice59, Italy
Perfect location to visit Copenaghen, close to the center of the town. very close to the Rosenborg castle, just in front of the hotel.
We have particularly appreciated the availability of drinks and sweet all over the day (24h).
Great breakfast, very varied, with excellent sweet and savory products.
Bath without windows with aways a little smell.
Basic but comfortable room, we had a triple room.
Luggage storage service
November 3rd 2018, Lessia M
We came here for two night. The room is smaller than we thought, but we didn't care about. The bathroom was clean and big (you should bring with you flip flops to have a shower).
I don't like moquette in every place.
It's not expensive and it is located near a big garden and close the Latin Neighborhood.
We had a breakfast included, you can eat a different type of bread, jam, ham, cheese, cereal, eggs and yogurt. You can drink everything you want.
maybe after walking outiside with cold, you can also drink some tea.
The receptionist Anna is very kind, more kind than other one.
October 24th 2018, spiegs882016, Pennsylvania, United States
Just returned from a 5 day stay at this property and for me the Hotel Christian 4 fit my needs perfectly. Location was great, on a quiet street just across the park from Rosenborg Slot, walking distance to almost all sights or easy access to them by the 1A or 26 bus just a few blocks away.
The staff were all friendly and helpful and knew me by name very quickly. Breakfast was very enjoyable and it’s inclusion in the very competitive room rate was an extra bonus in a very expensive restaurant city. Rooms and common areas were spotlessly clean and furnishings well maintained throughout. If you are looking for a luxury property, this is not for you, but if you are looking for comfortable well priced accommodation perfect for touring Copenhagen , stay here. My room was a classic double that overlooked a very quiet courtyard and was more than adequate in size, although I was a solo traveler. The only downside was a unpretentious bathroom and a slippery shower and really small toilet but this is a minor complaint since it was a great deal compared to the other properties I priced for my stay. Recommend it without reserve.
"Great hotel and amazing location"
October 21st 2018, kanddhanson, Great Britain
Such a great hotel which is central and close to transport links. We forgot to take photos but it was a clean, bright room which came with a cot (for our son) and included a great breakfast!
Staff very friendly. We come to Copenhagen often so we’ll be staying there again.
Great park and castle nearby for walks away from the centre.
October 21st 2018, mrober24, Constantine D, Canada
My wife and I stayed at Christian IV in early October 2018. It's a very nice little hotel, located a 5-minute walk from the Rosenborg Castle.
We booked a bigger room and it was very comfortable. The bed was firm and very comfortable. Our room was on the 2nd floor, and if you keep the windows open at night (no AC) - you may be awakened by a delivery truck in the middle of the night. If you are a light sleeper - bring ear plugs.
Bathroom was somewhat small and had a shower only (fine by us). The hotel didn't provide any toiletries to speak of - bring your own.
Both internet and breakfast were included in the rate. The breakfast included only cold dishes but was plentiful.
I booked directly with the hotel as they offered a special discount for the Trip Advisor users.
"Quiet location, great breakfast"
October 17th 2018, Viv13, Australia
Great little hotel that includes breakfast. Its not the Ritz, but its clean, quiet, and comfortable. We had a 5th floor " Classic Double" room with queen size bed. Despite being next to the lift, there was no noise.
Bathroom was clean and functional.
There is a breakfast room and small lounge downstairs with juice, tea, coffee and pastries available 24/7. Breakfast is continental with good range of cheeses, meats, fruit and some wonderful croissants/pastries.
Reception staff extremely helpful and friendly. We were able to store our luggage after checking out, as we wanted to sightsee prior to boarding our cruise ship.
Be warned - Denmark is expensive! This hotel cost $300 AUD per night, including breakfast ( and this was cheap in comparison with most). We'd pay $175 for a similar hotel in Perth. Just have to accept these things!!
I'd happily stay here again
"Central location, quiet stree"
October 16th 2018, Judy L, Pennsylvania, United States
The staff were efficient and helpful. Coffee, tea, cookies, apples, available all day and night. Breakfast was good, but after 5 days there I would have enjoyed some more variety. The rooms were comfortable.
The location was perfect, a few steps from Rosenborg Castle, and walking distance to any of the sites in the city
"Loved This Place - Would Stay Again"
October 5th 2018, mrober24, Michigan, United States
The location here is enough to merit a good rating (very close to Rosenborg Castle, a short walk to Nyhavn, and major pedestrian areas), but the room and the service the hotel provided was exceptional, and I would suggest this place to friends and family, and would definitely stay here again.
The room was a bit small, but plenty big for two people who need it only to sleep and wash up (the bathroom was HUGE). Our room looked out onto a courtyard, and the neighborhood is quiet, despite the construction that seemed to be happening all over the City. Chocolates in the room when we arrived; coffee & tea available (and usually biscuits and snacks) 24 hours. Morning breakfast was at a reasonable time, and had something for everyone. I cannot say enough about the front desk personnel - we came in contact with three during our stay, and were thrilled with the information they could provide - everything from dinner/restaurant suggestions to directions. Stowing luggage before and after stay was no problem. I usually read all the 'bad' reviews when I'm deciding on places to stay - there aren't that many for this property, and I didn't see any of the issues that are stated within them. The hotel fit our budget, and I believe we received our money's worth by choosing to stay here.
October 2nd 2018, Robert K, California, United States
Leaving for a cruise on our honeymoon and hotel Christian iv was perfect Location was very Central with easy access to many of Copenhagen’s finest spot
Breakfast was amazing with many options from meats and cereal to fruits and vegetables. Service was exemplary and all staff were very kind
Thank you hotel Christian for making the first stop on our trip memorable and
September 29th 2018, Slarsen16
This is a modest hotel - but entirely adequate, clean, and perfectly located in Copenhagen. Our room was big enough, and the bathroom was also roomy. Free breakfast. Coffee, tea and sweets 24/7 in the dining room.
They have wine and beer on hand to purchase. They have their own little fleet of bicycles to rent. It is located just outside one of the side gates to Rosenborg Castle, with a lot of great restaurants around, and easy access to the harbor and the city center (Stroget). The staff were all very helpful. Denmark is one of the more expensive countries, and we paid under $300/night for a hotel room in the best part of Copenhagen. We loved our stay there!
"Smaller boutique hotel in quiet location"
September 29th 2018, janel0, Minnesota, United States
Reasonably good small boutique hotel in a quiet location. Outside of the tourist area but within walking distance. Breakfast was decent - the breakfast staff were wonderful!
Room was quiet and bathroom was decent size.
"Reasonably good small boutique hotel in a quiet location. Expensive but we were there in late August."
September 25th 2018, westy54, Australia
Stayed for 3 nights in August/September in a compact room on the second floor. Our room faced the back of the hotel, so it was fairly quiet, and also afforded us a view of some trees and other buildings. There was a small lift.
The hotel is located in a very quiet, almost residential neighbourhood, and is an approximately 700/800 metre (about a 10 minute) walk from Kongens Nytorv metro station where you can catch a metro train directly to the airport. The hotel is also only about a 10/12 minute walk from the Amalienborg Palace and Nyhavn, and a 2/3 minute walk in the opposite direction to the excellent David’s Collection and the huge Kongens Have Park. There were however very few restaurants or shops in close proximity.
The room was reasonably compact and we thought furnished in a rather typical Scandinavian bare essential style. The queen sized bed (2 single beds pushed together) was reasonably firm with 2 small square pillows. On either side of the bed there was a wall mounted bed side light and also a very small shelf. Other furnishings included a desk with lamp and a chair, a wall mounted TV, a lounge chair, a free standing lamp and a 2 door wardrobe.
There was no safe.
The old style bathroom was also fairly compact with virtually no room for 2 people’s toiletries. It had a hand basin, toilet and shower (no bath). Shower pressure was good.
Both the room and the bathroom were very clean. WIFI was included and worked well. There was also 2 complementary bottles of water.
Breakfast was a cold buffet with a good selection of cereals, breads, pastries, cold meats, cheeses, some juices, tea and coffee.
There was also tea, coffee, juices and biscuits available during the day.
Staff at checkin and checout were efficient without being overly welcoming.
"Charming, Older Style, Friendly Hotel."
September 25th 2018, TravellerPatsy, Australia
After reading previous reviews we decided to stay at Hotel Christian 1V. We were not disappointed, as the title conveys it is an older style hotel, but quite charming. Reception was professional and welcoming.
During our short stay there was always someone on duty to answer questions and provide information.
The hotel is located centrally and within walking distance of many tourist attractions.
Public transport is close by if you want to go further afield.
Our room was larger than expected with a very comfortable bed. We put our cases on the couch and had lots of space to move around. The complimentary bottled water provided was appreciated.
The bathroom was small and clean, but with no where to put toiletries.
Breakfast, included in the price, was excellent. A wide choice of continental fare served buffet style.
During the day the dining room has tea, coffee and juice available along with Danish biscuits and pastries. Greatly appreciated by the guests.
There is a little side room where one can relax and wait for taxis.
The lift, as mentioned by previous reviewers is small and perhaps too slow for some. However, we found it perfect for our needs.
All the staff were very pleasant and friendly.
For two Senior Travellers Hotel Christian 1V was ‘ just right ‘.
September 24th 2018, howardandemma, Great Britain
This is not a luxurious hotel, but does all the necessities well. There is lots within easy walking distance; our room had space, decent facilities and a comfy bed.
Friendly staff, plentiful breakfast and - a blessed relief after Danish prices - free tea and coffee plus biscuits. If they could replace the shower curtain with a screen and put another shelf in the bathroom, this would be five stars in its class.
"Great location, friendly staff"
September 23rd 2018, LotusExplorerTravel, Illinois, United States
We chose this hotel because we wanted to stay at a local hotel, not a brand hotel. If we return to Copenhagen, we will stay here again. We stayed in room number 16 on the first floor. It was a corner room, away from the elevator and stairs.
The room was clean and a comfortable size for four nights. The hotel has a small elevator large enough for 4 people if you squeeze in or 1 person and 4 pieces of luggage. The breakfast included coffee, tea, cereal, yogurt, juice, a selection of cold meats and cheeses, pastries, and breads. I recommend trying the danish rye bread. The front desk staff were all very helpful, friendly, and spoke excellent English.
The location of the hotel was just down the street from Kongens Have where you'll find the HC Andersen statue and the Rosenborg Castle. Nyhavn is only a 15 minute leisurely paced walk from the hotel. There are many restaurants within a short walk from the hotel.
"Location, Location, Location"
September 18th 2018, John L, South Carolina, United States
Within walking distance of many attractions. DON'T MISS the Rosenborg Castle located only about four blocks away. Well worth the stop.
Also, if you are weary of local food and need a hamburger fix, go a block and a half and get a Gasoline burger....very good.
Front desk was exceptional...Stefan was always ready with a recommendation and was spot-on in those recommendations.
Rooms are small, but how much time will you spend in them?
It is tough to find space for luggage. Bathrooms are small.
Breakfast was adequate...nothing special.
Everything seemed clean, including rooms and bathrooms.
There were construction noises in the early morning and also fireworks one night from Tivoli Gardens...but how can you hate fireworks?
"Close to Everything!"
September 16th 2018, Jayne H
Well worth it’s great rating! Charming boutique hotel near 2 train stations, 1/2 block from the King’s Garden where you can picnic and drink wine, 4 blocks from classic Nyhavn, and just a 20 minute walk to Tivoli Gardens.
We enjoyed a room with the quiet courtyard view. Still quiet with the windows open which you need to contrast high radiator heat. The breakfast is well stocked and varied. Try the Gammel Dansk during a weekday morning—they don’t stock it on weekends.
"Great location, a most plesant stay"
September 15th 2018, GaryandChris M
The hotel is centrally located, within 20 minutes walk of all interesting attractions in North, South and Central Copenhagen. The neighborhood was pleasant; we felt safe at all times. Our room was more than adequate (standard class), not at all worn and very clean.
All staff members, from the front desk to the maids to the breakfast staff seemed very well trained and dedicated to serving their guests.
"Very nice little hotel"
September 14th 2018, bmryan2018, Canada
We booked the smallest room as we were not planning to spend much time in it as we wanted to see as much of Copenhagen as we could on our 2 1/2 days there before we got on cruise ship.
Very clean, good size bathroom, staff very friendly and helpful, excellent breakfast and well displayed, Danish cookies with tea and coffee available in the afternoon and evening. Danish cookies were so good, we had to buy some at the store to bring home. Hotel was close to major attractions and we were able to walk to everything that was of interest to us. Bought the Copenhagen card before we left home and picked up at airport and we felt we got our money worth and staff at hotel were helpful with directions. Would certainly stay here again if we get back to Copenhagen.
September 13th 2018, Snodgra55
A three-star hotel. Good location, ok breakfast, feeble shower, no toiletries, friendly staff (mostly), clean, tired, basic.
If we were looking for a three-star hotel would stay here again. But we weren't. And nothing about the price gave any clue.
Pleasant enough stay marred by a vague feeling of being ripped off.
September 13th 2018, dwits, Canada
This is an unpretentious boutique-like hotel that is situated close to the heart of downtown: lots of great restaurants (Red Box, The Vietnamese), ‘high streets’, key tourist attractions and the waterfront (10 minutes walk to all).
Suggest taking water bus to Christianhavn and explore returning on the new ped/cycle bridge and stop at the new food stalls.
The rooms are comfortable but suggest getting end rooms which are larger. While the street side can be noisy on weekends, the rooms are bright and the windows close to keep out the sound. Our bed was very hard so avoid if you have back issues. The breakfast is very good as are all hotel staff.
"Quaint hotel in Copenhagen"
September 12th 2018, lee27052016, Florida, United States
Stayed at the Hotel Christian IV on August 25th for one night. Getting on cruise ship next day. This was a great little hotel. Got the basic room. This room was small as stated in their description, but very neat and clean with a nice size bathroom.
Breakfast was included and it was nicely displayed and very good. There were also cookies in the afternoon. It was close to several of the most sought after attractions like the Marble Church, Little Mermaid, Nyhavn, the Botanical Gardens and several others. Unless you are planning to stay in your room for any length of time, this is a great hotel.
"A wee bit expensive but excellent service"
September 10th 2018, David F
This hotel is quaint, elegant and practical. Located next to Rosenborg Palace park it is a short jaunt to the park and central Copenhagen Nhavn port. The lobby, check in area, luggage storage and single elevator are all small but they work.
The staff was VERY helpful and friendly and went out of their way to assist.
The room was spacious and at one time, elegant. This is an aging facility that has been upgraded and improved.
The bathroom was so-so as one could see add-on linoleum floors and a make-shift shower curtain system that was not that comfortable - but, it worked.
Our room faced inwards towards a courtyard that I feared would be noisy with an echo but it was quiet all night.
The main drawback to this facility was that (like many hotels in Europe) they do not have an air conditioning system and it was unseasonably hot in Copenhagen during the day. Lucky for us they had a fan in each room, this helped a lot. By nightfall, the room was comfortable.
The dining room in the entrance area was very nice, the breakfasts adequate and the environment charming.
After checking out the managers let us linger in an anteroom to the side while we waited for our taxi to leave. This was very gracious and enabled us to organize and kill time while drinking the juices or water that was out on the tables day and night.
Overall I give this establishment a 3.9 out of 5. I do so because it could have been a bit cheaper. For some reason my search for Copenhagen hotels showed an ever-increasing expensive trend as one searched from the end of August to the end of September. One would have thought the opposite would have been the case as one progressed into the Autumn or lower season period.
All in all I would recommend this hotel to the Copenhagen traveler.
"Great Hotel with great location, breakfast and staff."

My wife and I spent a week at the hotel which is in the middle of the old town close to Rosenborg castle and gardens. Easy access to trains for travel outside the city.
We walked to all the sites in the city and the hotel is an easy walk to everything from the Little Mermaid to Tivoli Gardens.
Our room was larger than I expected from reading previous reveiws. Room had a king bed with two upholstered chairs and table along with a desk with chair. We still had plenty of space to walk around. Bathroom was on the small side and the shower with curtains inside a berm on the floor took sometime to get used to. Weighted cutains would help to keep water inside the berm.
The daily rate includes a wonderful breakfast buffet. Plenty of breads, pastry, meats, cheeses, yougurt, cereal, fruit, and vegetable. Hot soft boiled eggs were available on request. Had fresh brewed coffee, along with tea, fruit juices, and milk. In the evening they had fresh brewed coffee, tea, and butter cookies along with pastries. Have beer and wine for a nominal charge.
Staff at both the breakfast, and front desk were extremly friendly and very helpful in giving directions to tourist sites and restaurant recommendations.
Overall the hotel was very clean on a quiet street near all the sites. The breakfast was well presented and had great nutritional value. The staff was outstanding with plenty of smiles and knowledge of the city. Wouldn't hesitate for a moment to stay again if and when we return to Copenhagen.
"Great Value For Money"
September 10th 2018, Melanie B, Canada
Nice and central, really good breakfast. Quite the find really. Copenhagen is an expensive city but you can fill up before you go out, and keep going for hours! Pleasant staff, large room, with gardens right nearby.
Bus stop just round the corner.
"Very Nice Hotel"
September 10th 2018, Dorothy31359, Vermont, United States
My husband and I stayed one night here before we took our cruise. Our room was clean and quiet. The staff was friendly and very accommodating.
We were able to leave our luggage securely with them in its own room so we could do some site seeing in the morning before catching our ship. Very convenient to area attractions. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Copenhagen.
"Great location, great breakfast, OK room"
September 7th 2018, bropaul, New Jersey, United States
I want to start by saying that I was basically quite happy with my stay in this hotel. It is in a great neighborhood with lots of great restaurants nearby. It is also convenient to mass transit and the train, if you will be traveling out of Copenhagen.
I booked this hotel because so many reviewers called it "charming". I have to be the dissenting opinion on that. It was fine, but it's a pretty basic hotel. The room I had in the back corner of the hotel had what I needed, but nothing more. There was very little room in the bathroom to put your toiletries. I also had that strange noise from the lift that others have mentioned. Again, as others have mentioned, the breakfast is fantastic. There us great variety and many healthy options. Readers should understand, however, that there is no hot food in the buffet. Would I come back? Maybe if I knew I was getting one of the renovated rooms.
"Enjoyed our stay"
September 7th 2018, mrsbof3, California, United States
We have stayed here twice during our 23 day vacation. We will be staying there two more nights before we get home. The location is fantastic. You can walk to many places of interest.
The first time we stayed we had a very small room which was fine. The beds are very comfortable.
The second stay we has a larger room which was even more comfortable and appeared to be updated recently.
The best thing about the hotel is the breakfast. Loved everything they served and the danish was the best we had in Copenhagen.
There is also coffee, tea and fruit juice available at all times along with delicious apples.
Great place to stay when in Copenhagen.
"Very Friendly Hotel."
September 3rd 2018, AnnHow678, Manchester, Great Britain
We had a great 3 night stay here. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Good location, walking distance to all the sights. Easy to getvto by Metro from the airport. Great breakfasts.
Rooms are simple but everything we needed.
"Charming, comfortable hotel in great, central location"
August 31st 2018, LindanLV, Massachusetts, United States
The hotel is right across the street from Rosenburg Castle and an easy walk to many tourist sites and public transportation. Our room was comfortable and clean, though there was a little construction noise in the mornings. Breakfast was wonderful.
I never especially cared for the "danish" pastry I've had in the US, but now I understand what it's supposed to taste like and it's my new favorite. The staff was welcoming , friendly and helpful. When we go back to Copenhagen, we will stay here again—a great value for the reasonable price.
"Small Single Room"
August 30th 2018, e10750law, Canada
I paid for a small single room and that is what I got but the bathroom was bigger than average. Shower water pressure could have been more. The bathroom was well lighted. Nice firm mattress.
The room was quiet despite being on the street side and on the first floor. Big breakfast for a small hotel.
"A friendly hotel in a central location"
August 27th 2018, Julie L
Stayed at this lovely hotel for a weekend. Room was a good size and as was the bathroom. All the staff we meet were friendly and the lady on reception was wonderful checking us into our room early as my daughter was feeling under the weather.
The usual continental breakfast which was good and tea, coffee and juices were available throughout the day - you just helped yourself, which was a bonus.
The hotel is situated near a lovely park and just a 5 to 10 min (depending on your speed) walk away from Nyhavn and the centre.
If I came to visit Copenhagen again I would definitely stay here again.
August 26th 2018, asttrackDxB
Stayed here on a recent visit to Copenhagen and thought this hotel was okay. It's your basic, no frills clean budget hotel. The location is the hotel's major strength, only a block or two from the city's hotspots, in virtually any direction.
The room was okay for a short stay and sound does travel in this hotel, but the other guests who where there at the time weren't loud. If visiting during the hot summer months, make sure you request a fan as it gets hot inside this building.
Breakfast was adequate but nothing spectacular. They have coffee, tea and cookies all day in the lobby which is nice.
"Quaint Hotel, Excellent Location!"
August 25th 2018, Janet J, United States
We spent two nights at this hotel. It was clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location. The rooms are small but typical of an older hotel. Breakfast was delicious and included in the price.
There were also pasteries, coffee, tea, and water available all day long. We were able to walk to the Rosenborg Castle and many other sights. It’s off the main drag but close to everything. Anna at reception was very helpful and welcoming. The hotel also has free WiFi.
"Comfortable, pleasant staff, good location"
August 24th 2018, mbcn14, Massachusetts, United States
Room was basic and in my opinion expensive at $300/nt. With that being said, I would recommend it to friends and family as it was convenient to metro stops and all the sites I wanted to see.
Staff were very pleasant, helpful, and the breakfast, included in the price, was excellent. Room was clean. WiFi connection was free and I had a good connection. Laptop computer in lobby area was free to use. Only complaint, and it wasn't the hotel's fault, was the noise from construction equipment working on an adjacent housing complex that shared a courtyard with the hotel; the noise woke me up every day at 7:30am. Based on that I might suggest requesting a room on the street side of the hotel.
"Comfortable, friendly, but somewhat spartan"
August 16th 2018, Roland C
For the price the hotel was a bit spartan, but it was comfortable and well positioned for a quick tour of the touristy highlights. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast was also very nice.
Probably the biggest complaint is it was a bit noisy even up on the 4th floor. We were there on what I guess was a warm August day (all the way up in the 70's) and we had the window open since, not surprisingly, there is no air conditioning (I can't imagine you would ever need it). A lot of boisterous singers and talkers until the wee hours, but it was a Friday night. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom tiny, but functional. It was not cheap, but I suspect nicer ones were more expensive. It's not going to wow you with it's decor or styling, but it's comfortable and the staff is overwhelmingly nice.
"Clean and reasonably priced hotel within walking distance of main Copenhagen attractions"
August 16th 2018, sarahburton30260, Great Britain
We booked a family room and were disappointed that the kids were on a lumpy double sofa bed. Other than that, it was a good stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the free breakfast and all day free tea and coffee is great value in Copenhagen.
A taxi from the airport cost about 350krone and to the cruise terminal was about 200krone.
We walked out to the little mermaid, back via Amelieborg palace and then to the Rosenborg park (the hotel is right next to the park) and castle in the morning, all very manageable.
"Hot, loud, uncomfortable end to our vacation in Europe"
August 15th 2018, HappyTravellerNJ, United States
Stayed in the Christian IV for one night at the end of a 14 day cruise to Iceland. Hotel is attractive on the outside and the first floor has a nice cafe (breakfast and snacks only) with an attentive staff but the problem is with the rooms.
Our room on the second floor (#25) faced the street, which is quite noisy in the evening. The room was hot and the windows cant open and do not provide any meaningful ventilation. Additionally there is a lot of light pollution from street lights and building directly opposite the hotel, which meant we had to close the drapes and that further negated the window being canted open. There was no fan in the room and the TV was minuscule.
Mattress was uncomfortable and the bed small even by European standards. Bedding not up to the standards for a 4 star rating.
Basically it was an uncomfortable end to our European vacation. I know there is a hot spell in Copenhagen but two weeks earlier we stayed pre-cruise in the Hotel Admiral Copenhagen and they put fans in every room plus it is a much more attractive location with larger rooms for the same or cheaper price.
"Noisy and hot"
August 10th 2018, Lotsahols2, Great Britain
The staff at this little hotel were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, and this is not the fault of the hotel, it is situated directly opposite a very noisy bar with people drinking out on the pavement until gone midnight so none of our family could sleep.
We stayed in summer and our room was stiflingly hot. There was no air con. So even once the bar was finally quiet, it was too hot to sleep there.
This hotel might be fine in cold weather when you don’t need to open the windows so can block out the sound of the bar.
Location wise, it is a 25 min walk to the Little Mermaid, 20 mins to Tivoli Gardens, 10 mins to the main shopping area. It is about 30 min drive to Copenhagen airport.
"Great location, nice room"
August 8th 2018, Gwen C
We stayed one night in Copenhagen at this hotel. We were pleased with our stay and would stay there again in the future. The location is perfect - close to attractions and public transportation.
It was very hot when we stayed there and we were on the fifth floor - there is no AC so the room got pretty hot. The ceiling fan helped but it was still very hot. Other than that, the room was very comfortable and had all the amenities one would need for a short stay.
"Really good hotel"
August 8th 2018, Jrayworth, Great Britain
The hotel was superbly situated within walking distance of all tourist facilities within central Copenhagen. We found everything clean, simple and in good taste.
The rooms were serviced very well indeed and the buffet breakfast was excellent with a good variety. Small amounts of food, cold drinks coffee and tea were available free of charge 24/7 which was very useful in our very hot stay when we could so easily nip back to the hotel for refreshments between outings. No air conditioning but a very large quiet fan in our room sufficed and coped with the heat. Room was serviced very efficiently and staff could not be more helpful. Basically a fairly small friendly hotel catering for everyone’s needs very well indeed.
"Tiny room lacking the most basic amenities"
August 7th 2018, SBenRock, Israel
We were extremely disappointed by the hot room we received at this hotel. The non airconditioned hotel was especially hot during the recent heat wave and the top floor room, no bigger than a large closet was unbearable.
An older building refurbished to a hotel, this must’ve been a room that was for a servant. I used United points to book this hotel and I do not think I received the room I booked. They are very strict regarding check out time 11 and were not willing without additional charge to let us use the room an extra hour. The bathroom was spartan, lacking toiletries and with a dangerous doorstep. The closer was practically non existent. Copenhagen is an expensive city, but still, even though the location next to Rosenborg Castle and the park is good, I can’t recommend this hotel at all.
"Struggling with the heat and the street noises"
August 5th 2018, FT_advisor
I was in a single room -- small and smelly (even though the smell slowly decreased along the 2 weeks of the stay). There was a heat wave in Denmark those weeks and the room had no Air Conditioning
-- open windows during the night were important, which expose you to all sorts of loud street noises (trucks probably for goods delivery and rubbish collection in the middle of the night, construction works in the building opposite the hotel, loud parties strolling along the street ... ). On a positive note, the breakfast was very nice (and the staff in charge of it friendly and efficient). The hotel location in the city is excellent.
"Good hotel with excellent location"
August 2nd 2018, golf4edie
Friendly service, nice buffet breakfast and great location made for a good 4 nite stay. We were there during an unprecedented heatwave. (Not that temperature in over 200 yrs).
Difficult since hotel, and most of Copenhagen does not have AC. Our room had ceiling fan. We opened the window and door to our room in order to get cross ventilation. Be prepared to experience a very small bathroom. Two pluses: It is right around the corner from the excellent David Collection museum (free) and short walk to the Roseburg Palace and gardens. Hotel does have an elevator.
"Perfectly adequate but very good price and location."
August 2nd 2018, ljulian2016, Massachusetts, United States
We arrived at the hotel in the midst of a heatwave (truly) and when there was construction on the Street and in the city centre generally. That said, the hotel was very average but perfectly adequate.
The rooms are spartan / austere but adequate for your needs. The breakfast is fine but nothing special. The staff is, for the most part, helpful and quick to meet needs. The location was excellent and everywhere in the city center was accessible by foot.
Water was provided in the room once but the rooms were made up each day very well.
For the price, the hotel is excellent however. Prepaid through Expedia and no problems whatsoever.
"Pleasant basic hotel in good location"
July 27th 2018, baysyd1, Australia
We spent 5 days in this small pleasant hotel. Our room was at the back and with the exception of Saturday night, it was reasonably quiet. We asked for a refrigerator and fan and our requests were promptly handled;.
The desk staff were pleasant and helpful and we appreciated the 24/7 coffee and pastries. Breakfast was reasonable.
The hotel was an easy walk to Ny Havn, Rosenborg and Amalienborg.
"Excellent location, unfailingly helpful, attentive staff"
July 24th 2018, Tom B, Maryland, United States
We stayed here four nights, and found it an excellent, nicely typical European hotel. Yes, there is no A/C, but fans are available if you ask. Location is outstanding, convenient walking to all sights, and public transportation also readily available.
Best aspect is staff, who were consistently, unfailingly helpful, attentive and friendly (notably Anna, Steffen and Hildur). Breakfast each day was delicious and provided a wide array of food. Room (a classic double) was spacious and clean, as was its bathroom. Room rates were comparable and fair. Elevator was a plus. Wifi was strong and consistent. We were satisfied in all respects, and highly recommend Hotel Christian IV.
"Copenhagen at the Hotel Christian IV"
July 20th 2018, Melissa W, Ohio, United States
This hotel has a fantastic location. In the center of Copenhagen it is on a quiet street and about a one minute stroll from the Rosenberg Park.
When you feel overwhelmed by the other tourists, traffic, bikes, etc. all you have to do is walk out the front door, turn left and stroll right into this gem of a park complete with beautiful flower gardens and a castle. Moreover, though the rooms and bathrooms are small, they are adequate and add to the ambiance of the space, the breakfast is delicious, there is an elevator so you don't have to lug your suitcase upstairs and they rent bicycles so you can join the madness of the bicycle traffic. Overall, a wonderful place to stay in Copenhagen.
"Great hotel in a great location"
July 19th 2018, rfg307, New York, United States
I enjoyed my stay at this hotel very much. The location is perfect. I was able to easily walk to all of the attractions i wanted to see. It is also conveniently located near 2 train/metro stations.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast is wonderful. The bed was comfortable. Fans are available although I didn't know it at the time - be sure to ask for one if it's hot. Highly recommended. I would stay there again.
July 17th 2018, susan4mat1946, United States
We’re on a short 5 day visit. Hotel Christian IV offers a wonderful location, nice neighborhood, adequate small room (we aren’t in Copenhagen to spend time in our room), incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
Traditional Scandinavian continental breakfast with good coffee, tea, juice, pastry available all day in the comfortable seating area off the lobby. We are very happy we chose to stay here!
"Lovely boutique hotel"
July 17th 2018, Brooke M
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this boutique hotel. It’s steps away from Rosenberg Castle, on a quiet side street, breakfast was great, and room spacious.
I paid a little extra I think for a room upgrade and liked my room very much.
"Excellent once more (especially the fan)"
July 15th 2018, KBofLB, Great Britain
We stayed here for two nights, having good memories of a visit some years ago.We were not disappointed. After the friendly and helpful check in procedure we were delighted to find that our room was fitted with a Casablanca fan, which was most welcome in the hot weather which we experienced in Copenhagen.
Our room was large, the bed was comfortable and it was pleasant to have a room which overlooked the courtyard garden. The breakfast was good quality Continental style.
The hotel is in a quiet street yet within 10 minutes walk of Rosenborg Castle, Kongens Nytorv Square and Norreport train/metro station.
July 15th 2018, DiamondStatus
My wife and I arrived early in the morning before check in and the staff allowed us to drop our bags off until our room was ready. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful.
Being in the middle of summer, our room was a bit warm for our liking and the staff provided a fan to help cool it down. The breakfast is delicious. I would absolutely suggest staying here.
"perfect location, good value, friendly staff"
July 13th 2018, Andrea2207, Austria
We stayed for two nights before leaving with a cruise. The hotel is perfectly situated close to the center, to Nyhavn and other sights, but in a quieter side street - and we were especially lucky and had a quiet room facing the courtyard.
The welcome was very friendly, the room clean and nice and big enough for a short city stay, the breakfast was included in our rate and had a wide variety of food, lots (all??) of it organic. We will certainly stay there again if/when we get back to Copenhagen!
July 12th 2018, nanz281, Tennessee, United States
My husband and I stayed 2 nights prior to leaving Copenhagen on a cruise. We thought the hotel was in a good location; one block to Rosenburg Castle, an nice 10-15 minute walk to Nyhavn and surrounded by restaurants and cafes.
Easy to reach using public transportation. There are bus stops within two blocks and also near two Metro stops. Our room, a classic double, was adequately sized for Europe. The bed was comfortable, had a good sized closet and a large, clean bathroom. We enjoyed the European style breakfast buffet. Delicious coffee and Danish pastries! We would stay here again.
"Perfect Location and wonderful Staff"
July 10th 2018, LYDIA P
This hotel can not be compared to American Hotel standarda With that being said, it was clean, safe,breakfast was fabulous and the staff made you feel like you were family.
What a wonderful experience and I would love to visit again.
"Good location, good value"
July 10th 2018, Grch, United States
I chose this hotel because it was within walking distance (about 30-40 minutes) from the DFDS Ferry port and within 10 minutes walking distance of a Metro stop to get to the airport.
It is located just a half block from Kongens Have Park and within walking distance of City Hall, Tivoli Gardens, the university area. Kind reception, clean facilities. The decor is a bit tired, but that is not too bothersome. There is a lot of construction being done outside on the street so with leaving the windows open to let in fresh air (I don't believe there was AC) one has to put up with a lot of noise--- that starts at just before 7am. Luckily we needed to wake up then anyway to catch our flight, but might be something to consider to try to get a room not facing that street if you are one that likes to sleep in. Coffee/tea/treats available in the lobby all day. Breakfast buffet the next morning was average---maybe a bit below average as there was no fresh brewed coffee, only instant coffee. Wifi was good. Overall, an average place to stay for one night with good value and friendly staff.
"Pricey, but good location"
July 7th 2018, Fredsea, Great Britain
This hotel is located near the Rosenborg castle grounds, on a quiet street. There are no views of any note. There is no tea/coffee in the rooms, but it is available in the breakfast room all day.
Probably worth the cost, just. I have marked this hotel as "Luxury", because of the cost - it is certainly not a luxury hotel.
"Nice hotel, excellent location, friendly personnel"
July 5th 2018, kath644, Belgium
Nice hotel, located at walking or biking distance from the centre of CPH. The room was clean and comfortable.
For the moment there are some construction works in the street and therefore it is a little bit noisy, but if you keep the windows closed, you barely hear it. Breakfast is fine.
"Nice hotel, good service, loved the breakfast"
July 1st 2018, bilby2009, Sydney, Australia
Located in small street near Rosenberg castle. Room was a nice size and I was facing the street. Breakfast was excellent ( they cutely cut pineapple pieces into butterflies and watermelon into love hearts) and had a nice assortment to choose from.
Tea and coffee is available all day. There is a computer near the breakfast area and it will print at reception.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. They can call a taxi for you - just note between 8-9am is a bad time in Copenhagen to get a taxi, so you can wait around 30 minutes and the taxi company may not even take calls if they are so busy. They do turn up just ensure to be prepared/take it into consideration at that busy time of day.
There is a nice restaurant around the street and a supermarket. I bought almond milk and the hotel kindly kept it in the fridge for me for when I got a tea or used cereal.
There are plenty of restaurants nearby too choose from. The only thing for me was that the shower head wasnt very good in my room so not alot of water came out when I turned it hot. Just note there is some street works happening in the street, which can start a bit early (but is not the hotel's fault).
"Great location, Nice breakfast, Helpful Staff"
June 30th 2018, TacomaDawn, Washington, United States
Loved the central location and friendly staff who made several excellent restaurant recommendations and served us well.
The rooms were small and had no Air Conditioning (typical of Europe) so the room my parents had got very hot each day with the sun beating in. My room was on the other side of the hotel and never got too hot with the windows cracked or fully open. My one person room had a twin bed, and bathroom with shower. There was little room to move around in the bedroom area so if you have large suitcases or are a large person you might find this a challenge. We loved that they had a generous breakfast in the morning and snacks/tea laid out all day. When we came back from long day of touring we generally grabbed a danish and cup of tea to relax which was really nice. The hotel was an older one with keys still handed out that you had to turn in whenever leaving the hotel (which was a bit unnerving for a woman traveling alone). Neighborhood felt safe and had good transit options. Close to Rosenborg Castle and the David Collection. Easy walks to royal palace residences and Nyhavn.
"Great Location walkable to all sights"
June 25th 2018, K_Khong, Singapore
First time in this city and searched hard for a hotel that is centrally located. This hotel worked out well. Most sights are within a 2 km radius. Great restaurants abound and all within walking range.
Found it useful as some fine dining can take as long as 4 to 5 hours at a stretch, so being able to walk back was a plus. Friendly staff that helped us with restaurant reservations and other recommendations and directions. Good breakfast and also nice to come back and kick back with free pastries, coffee, tea and juices. As it's summer, we wished the rooms were air-conditioned but they met our request for a standing fan that helped.
"Great Breakfast and Location"
June 23rd 2018, Christian F
Will stay here again when visiting Copenhagen on our next trip. Overall good location, staff helpful and friendly, walking distance to sightseeing points, also walking distance to the metro train to the airport.
Breakfast very good and included in the price.
June 20th 2018, Tammi D, Illinois, United States
My sister and I had a great experience staying at Hotel Christian IV. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. There was not enough they could do for us.
We would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone.
June 17th 2018, lakelorain
Loved this hotel. Great location, near Rosenborg Castle and close to most tourist areas and many restaurants. 3 grocery stores nearby.
Old boutique style hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast included as well as 24 hour pastries, cookies, coffee and tea in breakfast area.
Average size rooms with large windows that open in various directions.
Only negatiives were no air conditioning(typical for Copenhagen) and noisy restaurant next door. Noise seemed to subside around 9:30. I would definitely stay there again.
"Close to Castles!"
June 16th 2018, Rocky C
Large room, comfortable bed, great staff, good breakfast and pastries through out the day. No A/C so staff provided a fan but was only in the room at night so not too bad.
Close to two castles and restaurants.
June 13th 2018, ibaol, California, United States
This is not a fancy hotel but it is more than adequate for a few days. There is no air conditioning so we had to keep windows open. Our room was in the back so street noise was not a problem but there was some noise from construction on the building next door.
It is in an excellent location to restaurants, cruise port, Nyhavn, Rosenburg Castle and Park. The staff was welcoming and professional. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. The 24 hour coffee, tea and Danish pastries was also an excellent addition. We enjoyed our stay.
"Pre-Cruise Hotel, Nice Stay"
June 8th 2018, BermudaBoundGirl, New York, United States
Rooms: I found the bed and pillows to be comfortable. Enjoyed having a reading light. We had trouble sleeping due to lack of air conditioning. The windows do open wide but there are no screens so we did have a couple critters fly in and there was a lot of pollen in the air.
Thankfully I don't have allergies. It may or may not be common for hotels to forego air conditioning because in general Denmark is cool but I don't think I gave it a thought when I was trying to find a hotel. I will from now on because I do have trouble sleeping in a warm room. Also there is a lot of construction in the city so that woke us up early with the window being open.
Safe: There is no safe in the room. This is the real reason I withheld 1 star. It really bothered me that there was no safe. They do offer a safe in their downstairs office. They give you the key. You can put the contents in yourself. Supposedly you are the only one with a key. But how could I be sure of that really? I did make use of it. None of my valuables went missing but still I had an uneasy feeling over it pretty much the entire 4 days we were there.
Cruise terminal: I understand you can take a bus to the cruise terminal. We opted for a cab. It was probably a 10 to 12 minute ride. I believe it was about 240 kroner. Ask the hotel clerk. They have a pretty good idea and they are very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast room: They have a spacious breakfast room. The only eggs you can get are soft boiled. It would have been nice if they also had hard boiled for people like me who hate runny yolks. I asked the girl if I could get a hard-boiled egg and she said, "No." There are plenty of other offerings. Danish, croissants, toast & other breads, yogurt, cereals, ham, salami, cheeses and fruit. The best thing is they keep coffee, tea, water and some juices out 24/7 which is so great. This was the best part about this hotel. I believe everyone who stays here really appreciates this amenity. They also set out a few goodies to snack on. Very nice!
General Location: Just a block from the Rosenborg Castle. Just a couple blocks in the other direction you can get a bus which take you to most other attractions. Just ask the front desk which bus you need and which way it runs. The first one way street runs toward Trivoli Gardens and Amalienborg Palace. Near the palace are plenty of places to eat and you can catch a canal tour there. You can pay your bus fare to the driver. We actually went up the the 2nd one way street and got on in the wrong direction but just got off, crossed the street and re-boarded. That's when we found out the bus ticket is good for one hour. So keep your receipt. You can also walk to NyHavn which is a festive area along the water where everyone goes to drink, eat and people watch.
Andy's Bar: If you want a casual, friendly, neighborhood bar take a right out the door and a right at the first street. Walk a few blocks until the street dead ends and you can see Andy's Bar from that corner. Atmosphere turns to party central late night which is not for me but my friends enjoyed it. I believe it's what some people might call a dive bar. It was fun and the bartenders were so nice and friendly.
We definitely recommend Christian IV hotel, especially for location and the 24/7 refreshments.
"close to cruise port and public transport"
June 7th 2018, Rosalove7, Illinois, United States
We decided to stay after reading reviews on Tripadvisor reviews because of the location close to the cruise ships and easy to get to through public transportation.
We took the metro from the airport to Kongens Nytorv metro stop its about a 15 mins ride from the airport and another 10 mins walk to the hotel. Note there are cobble stones on the entire way so you know hard to have luagge with wheels seen peoples break off. We arrived and got checked in right to our room. The key is very heavy. I ncluded a picture.The elevator is tiny I say a one person even though says 2. The room was a bit small but the bathroom was huge and the shower very hot. The location is wonderful very close to Nyhavn 13 min walk, and a 5 min walk to Rosenborg Palace. I enjoyed the juice and tea in the evening. The only issue I had was there a bar across the street and people were shouting til 3am so I had a hard time sleeping. Breakfast was fantastic in the morning fresh breads, chesses, meats, veggies, fruits, pastries, and jelly's, and jucie's and coffee. Wifi was fantastic and worked great. In the morning before our cruise Ann stored our luggage so we could check out Rosenberg castle and helped us to the area of the bus. We caught the #26 bus to Osterport st and transfer to #27 bus to the cruise port. 5 min walk from the hotel to catch the bus to the cruise port. Wonderful stay.
"Great stay in Copenhagen"
June 7th 2018, Eric M
The location was perfect and the staff were gracious and helpful in responding to our various questions and requests. Breakfast was delicious and intimate and beverages and snacks always available.
Will stay here again when we return!
"Clean, comfortable rooms, delicious 24/7 pastries, and a friendly staff."
June 3rd 2018, TravelFabulous, Colorado, United States
We hit the jackpot with this hotel. The location was perfect, steps from the park, close enough to the major attractions in the city, but far away from the noise. It was a quick walk from the train we took into the city from the airport.
We could not believe how quiet the neighborhood was, well at least for most of our stay. One morning there was some construction noise from the road below. We had a room in the rear of the hotel and were pleasantly surprised to find a large courtyard out back, rather than a building right next to us. The large windows let in lots of light. It was lovely.
The room was clean, and large enough for our family of three. We had a bed for two plus a rollaway bed for our child, which was quite comfortable. The staff was always friendly, a lady working at the breakfast area went so far as to bring our young son some trucks to play with one morning at breakfast. That made his day and was such a nice gesture. The best part of our stay were the complimentary pastries, tea, and coffee that were available 24/7. It sounds like a small thing, but it really hit the spot when coming in for a break after sightseeing, or finding ourselves awake late at night with jet lag.
Next time we visit Copenhagen I will not look for a different hotel. I don't think it could get any better than this! We cannot wait to return.
"Great location. Good service. Wonderful breakfast."
June 2nd 2018, Ross B, Melbourne, Australia
The hotel is ideally situated close to everything in central Copenhagen. Room was small and a bit noisy (1st floor) but comfortable bed. Great shower. The hotel has a really good continental breakfast with plenty of choice which will set you up for the day.
The breakfast area is avIlable all day with free coffee/tea and a biscuit which is really nice to come back to and relax (which you w8ll need after walking around the city). A short walk to the mermaid and the changing of the guard. If you go early there is no crowd. We went at 7:00 (no one at the mermaid) and then to see the changing of the guard at 8:00 to be 2 of 7 people watching! An hour walk and back to the wonderful breakfast! Wo7ld highly recommend this hotel.
"Great hotel in a perfect location"
May 29th 2018, Mark C, Great Britain
Stayed at the hotel over the weekend and must say it was a cracking find by my brother who lives in Denmark. Close to the centre and all you need to see. The breakfast was very good and was a great start to the day.
Free all day coffee was brilliant after a long day of walking. The noise from the building work on the road outside started a bit too early, but not the fault of the hotel. Came back on Sunday night to have no lights working in the room, but it was sorted in 10 minutes by Silas. Would definitely recommend a stay in this hotel.
"Great Location, Clean and Comfortable Accommodation and Friendly Professional Staff"
May 29th 2018, DCN4, Northern Ireland
We (my husband, myself and our 6 year old daughter) stayed here for 3 nights. We had stayed in Hotel Rye (see separate review) for 2 nights previously as Hotel Christian IV was booked.
So we arrived here on Sunday morning around 10am, left our luggage in (which was kept safely for us) and headed out for the day. The hotel was very busy and the breakfast looked lovely (which it was). You basically walk in the front door (toilet to the left which was very handy), the reception is in front and the dining area to the right.
As previous reviewers have commented, this is a gem of a hotel. It was very clean, comfortable, with a safe, good wifi and English speaking tv channels and the staff were so friendly and professional which made it a great stay. I would particularly mention the young man with a beard on reception (sorry I didn’t see his name badge) and Wikkee in the breakfast room as giving excellent customer service. All the staff were lovely but we had most interaction with these 2 staff members, and they were super helpful. Wikkee was especially kind to our daughter, presenting her with a swan apple, which she was just amazed at and we were very touched she took the time to do this and to chat to our daughter. As well as the lovely fresh fruit, breads, cheese etc for breakfast, it was great to get tea/coffee/hot chocolate/water/milk/juice and biscuits/pastry at any time and we also brought in some food to eat in the dining room (and also our room). There was a nice pizza place just down the road from us and plenty of supermarkets nearby. The lift is very tiny – my daughter loved it as it is all mirrored and she loved seeing loads of images of herself and her daddy. I took the stairs as it was just a little bit too claustrophobic for me and we were only 2 floors up anyway. You could put your luggage in it and take the stairs if you didn’t want to get in.
The location of this hotel is great. It’s close enough to everywhere so that you can walk or get a bus or train (it’s about a 10/15 minute walk to Norreport station which got us to the airport in about 20/25 mins) but situated in a quiet area. We were in a second floor room above the dining area so when we had the windows open (as it was quite hot during May) there was a little bit of street noise and noise from the building works in the morning (as you can see from other reviews), but this was a minor issue for us.
So for our holiday we did the following – we had fab weather, sunny the whole time:
Friday from 6-7 We walked around Faellaedpark (which was near our first hotel), which is really quite a large park, and it was lovely to see everyone eating picnics, having barbecues, and just relaxing in the evening sunshine. And there doesn’t appear to be a shortage of free public toilets anywhere in Copenhagen, most of which are pretty clean.
Saturday – Copenhagen Zoo (allow 3-4 hours), back for some pastries from Leckerbaer and then off to see the little mermaid and a short walk around the centre/Nyhavn (with a tired 6 year old it was brief).
Sunday – moved hotels, then Amusement park day starting with Bakken and Tivoli in the evening
Monday – Rosenburg Castle to see the crown jewels, changing of the guard at Amalienborg (12-12.30), Marble Church, Boat Tour (2.30 – 3.30) and then finished the day off with a trip to Den Blau Planet
Tuesday – Fredericksberg (the one at Hillerod), the round tower on the way back from Norreport station to our hotel (the second one) and then a lovely wander around Nyhavn.
Wednesday - Brief walk around the shops then off to the airport
We bought Copenhagen Cards and definitely found this to be a good decision. It was great not to worry about buying tickets on transport or paying in to the attractions. Definitely a good saving.
We had such a good time in Copenhagen we would really like to go back, perhaps in autumn or near the Christmas markets time. We would definitely recommend and stay again in Hotel Christian IV because of the location, the facilities (comfortable rooms and great breakfast) and of course, the staff.
"Fabulous, family friendly hotel. Centrally based for all the sites."
May 28th 2018, X1882XOannah, Great Britain
Have just got back from a 3 night stay in this lovely little hotel. Room was clean and comfortable with a huge bed and plenty of room for our young daughter to have a bed of her own too.
Breakfast is amazing with a vast selection of breads, pastries, meats, cheeses, fresh fruit and the most delicious soft boiled eggs. Catering for our coeliac daughter was not a problem and provision of gluten free rolls were readily available. Tea, coffee and biscuits are available free all day in the breakfast area which was very welcome after a long day out. Friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and look forward to staying again sometime soon.
"Great little hotel in a great location"
May 27th 2018, GarinPerth_Australia, Perth, Australia
Great location walked essentially everywhere. Little lift is interesting on arrival. Good selection for breakfast and breakfast runs from 7-10am.
Unfortunately there was a bit of noise from the building works happening outside the hotel, but not the hotels fault. The double glazed windows kept it the most of the time and it didn’t interrupt our sleep. Our room 16 was a good size, bed was comfy with the usual lump you get when two mattresses are pushed together to make a double/king/queen. Bathroom was good, with a walk-in shower (no bath) and was probably the best shower we had on our European holiday)
"Great 3-star hotel"
May 26th 2018, Catharina S, Belgium
The hotel has an excellent location in a quiet street close to everything. Very nice and helpful staff. Rather spacey room although small bathroom. Good breakfast.
Worthwhile - competes with 4-star hotels.
"Location, location, location!"
May 25th 2018, Erin F
Hotel Christian IV was a great place to stay for one night in Copenhagen! From the airport, I took about a 30 minute taxi ride to Hotel Christian IV. I arrived around 6pm and the staff was extremely friendly upon check-in.
My first impression was that this is a very small hotel, and my room reassured that. I had a little larger than a twin bed with little space around it, but the bathroom was very spacious. No mini bar, fridge, shampoo/conditioner and I could not find air conditioning. None if this really mattered to me since I was only there for one night and had my own shampoo/conditioner. I stayed in the hotel at night, but explored the area first thing the next morning before my flight. Once I started walking, there were so many shops, grocery store and restaurant options in the area. If I had needed a meal it would have been difficult to choose! I walked to Nyhavn using "Maps" on my iPhone. It was about a 10 minute walk and I could have stayed there for hours! Nyhavn was a beautiful area in a canal and the walk was great. I passed through a small garden and Amalienborg, which come to find out is the home of the Danish royal family. I wish I had been hungry as there were so many restaurants in the area. It was a great walk around Copenhagen and stay at Hotel Christian IV! I would recommend this for short stays.
"Recent Stay at Hotel Christian IV"
May 23rd 2018, BobROssining, United States
My wife and I just returned from a three-night stay at the Hotel Christian IV in Copenhagen, which we had booked on our own online as a quick visit following a tour of Iceland.
We found the hotel to be as advertised: a small property, very well situated on a generally quiet street away from some of the tourist crowds and noise in Nyhavn, yet within easy walking distance to those more tourist areas. We also liked its very close proximity to the park outside Rosenborg Palace and to the Botanic Garden. We took the opportunity to walk around both on our own when we were not on organized tours of the city that we had purchased with help of the hotel staff. Breakfasts at the hotel provided a good assortment of cold options, and all the staff we met were both friendly and knowledgeable about restaurants to try and local attractions to consider visiting. On the minus side, my wife's and my room faced the street and there was some street noise at night as people walked by talking or left the bar across the street. This encouraged us to keep our windows shut, which then left the room quiet but rather warmer than we would liked. This and the fact that the place is a bit old fashioned are the reasons we rated the hotel as good, but not excellent. That said, we thought the price charged by the hotel was a very good bargain, especially given Copenhagen hotels very high prices and the fact that many hotels require a nonrefundable deposit when booking. The Hotel Christian IV did not require such a deposit, something we very much appreciated, especially when booking several months ahead of time.
May 22nd 2018, FizzyJazzle, Luxembourg
+ points: Good location, within walking distance of the centre and tourist attractions, with restaurants in the immediate vicinity; Clean; Lots of natural light in the room and bathroom;
Large windowsill in bathroom for storing toiletries;
Efficient and friendly staff;
Good choice at breakfast, although I would have appreciated more hot food and more variety over 3 days;
Tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit was made available during the day;
Cosy lounge/dining area;
I arrived on an early morning flight and would really have appreciated getting into the room a bit earlier to freshen up but was told it couldnt be ready before 2pm. At least I was able to leave my luggage;
Unfortunately building works were going on in the street and I was woken at 7.30 one morning and 5.30 on another;
The room was compact - the single bed was pushed against a wall, which made it feel rather cramped, and there was a tiny shelf to serve as a night table (just enough room for a phone);
Small shower - and mid-shower on the first morning I suddenly had no hot water (the staff couldn't find out what the problem was; happily it didn't reoccur);
My towels were a bit worn (and there was no shower mat when stepping out of the shower);
No safe in the room;
Not much storage space for case and clothes.
I have never paid so much per night in ANY hotel, let alone a 3-star, but apparently, compared with other hotels in Copenhagen, this was good value for money. I would therefore recommend it and stay there again (perhaps in a room at the back the next time!)
"Great location and nice hotel....very happy"
May 22nd 2018, Tare U, Great Britain
We stayed 2 nights at this hotel, This hotel is very conveniently located, a 10-minute walk from Konigs Nyborg metro station, the main shopping streets and Nyhavn cafes.
Although it is central, the rooms, especially at the back of the hotel, are very quiet for a city centre. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast buffet is excellent. I am gluten and lactose intolerance. This was made aware of before we arrived at the hotel and what lovely service we received. They provide me with gluten free porridge and bread and almond milk which in my opinion was a very nice touch. Every morning a lovely lady called Emie would help assist me with my breakfast, make sure I got everything I needed and was very friendly, helpful and went out of her way to make sure I was happy and satisfied. She even provided me with berries and nuts as a sweet treat to go with my porridge. Thank you very much, I really appreciate all your help and effort.
The free wireless internet access worked very well. Tea, coffee, water, juice, pastries and cookies was available all day in the breakfast area, adjacent to a small lounge. All the city centre attractions were within easy reach of the hotel, and it was a very good base for a visit to Copenhagen. . The desk clerks gave us directions to where ever we wanted to go, including wonderful restaurants for dinner. The staff could not have been nicer or more friendly. Rooms are a bit small and dated, but they are clean and made up daily. It was well worth the price and if we ever get back to Copenhagen, we will definitely stay there again.
"Nice hotel. Good breakfast and excellent location"
May 18th 2018, 140AngelaL, Great Britain
We have just returned home from our holiday staying at this hotel. Very polite staff and excellent breakfast with a good choice of food. We really enjoyed the boiled eggs nicest I have had in a hotel.
The hotel was in an excellent location close to all the points of interest.The room was very clean although a slightly musty smell and very small. Wi-fi was good and also lovely to have tea coffee and biscuits and pastries from morning till night which we were grateful for. The only thing was we were on a street side room and there was noisy works starting at 5.30 in the morning. The hotel explained that it was out of their hands but still we felt a bit annoyed some mornings as it woke us up. Price was quite high compared what we have paid for in other places but there again Copenhagen seemed expensive. We only stayed four nights. Overall were very happy with our stay.
May 18th 2018, John W, Perth, Australia
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. As some one else mentioned it is clean, quiet & lovely. Well situated for walking to most of the attractions and we even walked as far as Tivoli without a problem.
Breakfast was very good and it's nice to come back from a days outing to be greeted by coffee and pastries being available in the morning.
Staff were very attentive to our needs and seemed to make a special effort to have breakfast available for us when we had an early departure.
"Clean, quiet, lovely hotel"
May 5th 2018, CountVizzini, Sicily, Italy
Hotel Christian IV is ideally located in a quiet yet central area within short walking distance of parks, metro/s-train and restaurants.
The room was perfectly clean and well-maintained, with lots of natural light and a good working space. Breakfast was included and had great variety of breads, pastries and fruits, as well as eggs. It was nice to enjoy a complimentary coffee and sweet in the afternoons. For sleep quality, cleanliness, professionalism, and price, Hotel Christian IV is an excellent choice.
"Very quaint little hotel"
May 5th 2018, Stephen G, Great Britain
Let me start by saying the staff, service, location & breakfast were awesome.
The room it’s self if quite basic with quirky furniture - reminded me of visiting my grannie in the 80’s - that said it was super clean and the bed was super comfy.
"Great location and breakfast, charming Hotel"
May 1st 2018, Fabian F
The Hotel is placed in great location in Downtown Copenhagen next to Rosenborg Castle park. The offer 24 h free water, coffee and orange juice in the lobby as well as danish cookies, great service!
The breakfast offers a big variety of fresh baked breads and fresh fruits as well as eggs, sweet breads and juices. We were absolutely positively surprised!
We had a small double room which was totally ok for our city trip. A soft bed (queen size) and TV, the bad was also big enough for two people showering at the same time.
We rented bikes at the hotel which were in perfect condition.
Overall we can say that this is one of the best value Hotels in downtown Copenhagen with great service.
"Nicely located, great breakfasts"
April 30th 2018, LeFrondeur, Florida, United States
The rooms are small, and the elevator a bit small, but you can use the stairs if you are at all claustrophobic. The best part of staying at this hotel is the breakfasts, which are outstanding.
Internet access is a bit spotty, if that is important to you.
"Great staff, excellent location"
April 29th 2018, MG00nergirl1, Great Britain
Excellent location, helpful staff, great breakfast and we appreciated the drinks and biscuits available throughout the day.
The beds were comfy though the bathrooms were a little tired and the lift has seen better days. A good hotel for a weekend away with friends.
April 28th 2018, michelle m, Great Britain
Great little hotel in perfect city centre location but quiet road near beautiful park and botanical garden.
Everything is close by including supermarket. Drinks and pastries/ biscuits free of charge day and night and staff are really friendly and helpful. Room was quaint and in style with age of the building. Good free WiFi too!
"As always a pleasent stay"
April 28th 2018, Martin_Thomsen, Middelfart, Denmark
Hotel Christian IV is a great little hotel in an amazing location in the middle of the city.The gentleman at check-in was very aware and courteous, and I love the rooms and breakfast.
WiFi is excellent and free and parking is close by in e.g. a parking garage.
April 25th 2018, Bewhi, Great Britain
We had a lovely time at Hotel Christian IV on our first holiday as a family. The staff were all very welcoming and keen to help in any way they could.
The ladies at breakfast were particularly lovely, helping to entertain our 4 month old and making sure he was having a nice holiday as well.
The rooms were clean and comfortable and personally, we really liked that the hotel were committed to reducing their environmental impact by choosing eco friendly toiletries.
The location is fantastic, on a quiet street right next to the park and a short walk from everywhere. No public transport required!
We purposely chose a smaller, independent hotel rather than a large chain and I'm so glad we did. Next time we come to Copenhagen, we will definitely be returning!
On a side note, the cobbled streets are perfect for getting the baby to sleep in his pram!
April 21st 2018, James B, Great Britain
We stayed in April 2018 for business . The hotel has is in a great location in the city. The WiFi is excellent and free and the breakfast is very good. I have to say the staff are very very good.
Great business hotel.
"Great Little Hotel in a Great Location"
April 17th 2018, Nicholas L, Florida, United States
Hotel Christian IV is a great little hotel in an amazing location.The staff was very courteous at checkin and we helped ourselves to some free coffee and pastry.
Rosenburg castle is pretty much right outside the door, 1/4 block away. Nyhavn is 5-10 min walk and Little Mermaid is 15-20 min walk. Tivoli was about 30 nub walk. It was an easy 30 min metro trip for the airport.
The room was comfortable and had great decor.
The breakfast was the best free breakfast I've had at a hotel, period. They have an assortment of high quality danish pastries, bread, butter, nutella, an assortment of fruit, juices, coffee, tea, and much more.
The wifi was free and worked great.
The only complaint I have is that our room was next to the lift, which made a moderately loud eerie noise which woke us during the night. Despite that I'm more than happy with my stay and would stay again.
"Comfort and convenience"
April 16th 2018, nosro, Great Britain
Just returned from a three night break in Copenhagen where we stayed at Hotel Christian IV. We stayed in a Comfort Double room which was spacious and very comfortable.
From arriving to leaving we felt very welcome and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The included breakfast offered lots of choice and set us up for the day's sightseeing. All the major city centre tourist attractions are within easy walking distance of the hotel and at the end of a tiring day there are numerous restaurants and bars close by. There is still so much we didn't have time to see that we hope to return to Copenhagen in the future and wouldn't hesitate to stay at this hotel again.
April 14th 2018, Bev D
We stayed in this hotel for four nights, we arrived late on the first night as we had flight delays but nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They made us very welcome.
Breakfast was good and the quality of ingredients was high. Staff were very helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions. We walked most places but the public transport was good. I would recommend buying a Copenhagen Card in advance, we saved a lot of money by not paying entrance fees and transport fares.
"Good value and well situated"
April 13th 2018, Simon P, Great Britain
We stayed here for three nights on a short city break. It's a great location (we walked everywhere - but public transport is very good) within easy reach of Nyhavn, The Botanical Gardens, the main art gallery and much more.
The hotel staff are really helpful and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. One excellent feature (especially in a place when you can pay nine quid for two coffees) is the fact that free coffee and pastries are available all day in the dining room - so you can pop back at any time of day. I'd definitely stay here again. (Oh yes, forgot to mention the excellent breakfast)
"Good location, good value, excellent value"
April 10th 2018, Hugh T
Chose this hotel because I needed a hotel in this area. It was fairly quiet for being so close to so many highlights. Easy access to buses, grocery stores, restaurants, and shops.
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, basic, but comfortable. The breakfast buffet was fresh, diverse and delicious. The showed helpful flexibility with our few extra requests. Would definitely stay here again.
"Wonderful Copenhagen! Nice central hotel"
April 10th 2018, VWAlonso, Great Britain
My eldest daughter and I stayed at this nice central hotel in March whilst it was snowy. We caught the metro from the airport to Kongens Nytorv station, used the lift up to the pavement and walked to Hotel Christian IV.
Tip: Make sure you pick up a detailed street map from the hotel as you check-in. The staff on reception were very welcoming and we were very pleased to be offered free hot drinks, Danish pastries or biscuits and to sit in the warm and nicely furnished guest lounge. Our room was on the 5th floor and had a view of the courtyard. We used the small lift which was very quaint. The beds were comfortable and the room cosy. The bathroom was on the small side though very clean and the shower was great. We could not fault the breakfast especially the variety of breads, pastries, ham, cheese, eggs, fruit and jams on offer at the buffet. It was a nice touch having individual coffee pots for each table. We also appreciated the hot drinks and pastries made available during the day and evening and got into the habit of not having dessert after our evening meal but rather choosing to return to the hotel for a cup of hot chocolate and delicious pastry!
It was easy to walk to the main attractions from the hotel. Our two favourites of our 4-day trip was the boat tour from Nyhavn (which is so lovely with its coloured houses, restaurants and harbour views). Tip: try the public toilets just to the right of the boat tour kiosk, which are amazingly clean and free! We loved watching the Changing of the Guard at the Royal Palace with the soldiers' boots scrunching in the snow! Unforgettable. We also loved the rooftop café in the Illum department store and walking up the spiral pathway to the top of the Round Tower. There are plenty of places to eat in Copenhagen and we spent time in cosy local cafes drinking coffee or eating lunch. It was really nice as the Danish tend to eat early in the evenings and the restaurants near to our hotel were absolutely packed with laughing and smiling Danes. We were welcomed and shown to a table which we shared with chattering people, most of whom spoke English. Overall, we would definitely recommend this hotel because of its location and friendly staff, plus the breakfast! Copenhagen is a fab city with air that is fresh and the water is so clean. Tip: You can drink the tap water.
"Location, location, location"
April 7th 2018, dsmith, United States
Stayed for three nights while visiting our daughter who was studying abroad in Copenhagen. The location was very good and while the closest metro was a 9 minute walk, there were many bus stops nearby and the beautiful Kings garden was a stones throw away.
The property is small and older but well maintained. We were greeted and offered a complimentary drink and told that coffee and tea were always available in the dining room just off the lobby. That was a nice touch. There is a tiny elevator to take your bags up but we never had a problem with it and for the most part, used the stairs anyway. The room itself was adequate. It was small, especially with a second bed for my daughter who stayed with us a few nights. But it was more than a cot and very comfortable she told me. Our bed was comfortable and for a change not two twin beds pushed together. We were happy to find out that we could open the window and let in fresh air and the street was quiet enough on a Saturday night that we had a good nights sleep! The bathroom was small and it was huge bonus that they constantly supplied us with washcloths something you find in short supply at most European hotels. I appreciated the eco friendly all in one soap that you are supposed to use as soap, shampoo and conditioner but would have like some moisturizer to supplement the limited products. We noticed we were just about out of the soap and stopped by the front desk to ask for it and it was promptly taken care of. The front desk was helpful in arranging a taxi to the airport on our last morning. The entire staff seemed very competent. So while it was not a upscale hotel , it was a good value for the money and a wonderful place to get a good nights sleep while we explored the city and were busy all day long!!
"Decent hotel in a good central area"
April 4th 2018, hoopsHarwich, Great Britain
The location is really good. 10 min walk from Kongens Nytorv metro station so therefore 10 min walk from Nyhavn. Quiet street.
Basic hotel room. Of course expensive because of it being in Denmark but pretty reasonable compared to other similar hotels. The breakfast is good, and the fact that residents can have free coffee and pastries all day and night is great. Can leave your cases after check out if you have time for extra exploring before going home. This is our 2nd stay.
March 26th 2018, jim r
Location was very good. Easy walk to several sightseeing places and resturants. Staff was very welcoming and pleasant. Several beverages were avaliable in lobby 24/7.
No parking on site however parking was avaliable in the local area.
"Good hotel, perfect location"
March 26th 2018, roser t
I stayed at this hotel with my husband for 2 nights. The hotel is very simple but it is charming and well kept. The location is perfect, walking distance from the city centre, the Rosenborg park and Palace and the train station.
Guests are welcome to use the breakfast room to have complementary coffee, I though this was a very nice detail. Breakfast was good and sufficient. I really recommend trying the Danish bread and pastries, delicious!
My room was really small, that would be my only complaint, but the bed was nice and confortable and we slept very well.
It is not a cheap hotel, but nothing is cheap in Denmark, it is reasonably price if you compare with the rest of prices in the country. I definitely recommend this hotel and a visit to Copenhaghen.
"hotel christian iv"
March 20th 2018, tricia04_10, Cardiff, Great Britain
Lovely hotel, very comfortable, staff friendly and helpful, would recommend this hotel, close to the city centre and train station. Good choice for breakfast. Overall a good hotel.
Close to supoermarket.
March 12th 2018, Linda J, Great Britain
We was so glad we chose this hotel, we had a superior room and the bed was very comfy and the room was warm , the staff are friendly and helpful.
The hotel is in a good location about a ten minute walk to the harbour.
Breakfast was good with a choice of breads, meats, egg, cheese fruit and cereals.
We would most definitely return to this hotel.
"Quiet, friendly hotel in ideal location."
March 4th 2018, Kay W
My son and I stayed at this lovely, little hotel for two nights last week. It's right in the middle of Copenhagen, but situated on a quiet street. The staff were friendly and helpful, and our rooms were small, but clean, warm and comfortable.
Breakfast was of an excellent quality and it was great to be able to return to the hotel late afternoon and enjoy complimentary hot drinks and pastries. We walked from the hotel to most of the parts of the city we wished to visit, and there was a great range of cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
"Overall an excellent stay and a highly recommended hotel. It does what it does very well."
February 15th 2018, MASWScreenwriter, London, Great Britain
This is a relatively small hotel located in a quiet side street within walking distance of all the major attractions of Copenhagen. It is not a grand or luxury hotel, but what it does it does very well.
I stayed in February with my wife and three year old son. Check-in was quick and efficient, and we were given a reassuringly old-fashioned key, of the type that not many hotels use these days. The one lift was a little small but worked perfectly well. It was only on rare occasions during our week's stay that we had to wait very long for this to arrive.
Our room had a double bed and a sofa bed, with a bathroom equipped with a shower/wet room. This was adequate for our purposes. I would have liked more storage space in terms of shelving in the bathroom, there would have been room for this. Control and supply of hot and cold water was good. It was particularly cold during our stay, even for Denmark, and the room temperature was always adequate. On one occasion when it was a little cool we discovered that the radiator had a thermostatic valve and turning that up a little solved the problem. The double bed and sofa bed were very comfortable.
Breakfast was simple but of very high quality. On our first morning the waitress carved a duck from an apple for our son. Sadly he did not eat it but it was a thing of beauty and a completely unexpected and very moving gesture. This has not happened to me anywhere else in the world. The breakfast does not include any cooked components except soft boiled eggs, which are excellent in terms of taste and texture. The breads are also fresh and of high quality - apparently from a warranted Royal supplier. The jugs of coffee supplied were fine but could have been a little stronger.
Coffee and Danish pastries are available free to residents in the breakfast room throughout the day, a nice touch.
Given our small son we did not use public transport, either walking or using taxis, which Reception ordered online and which arrived unfailingly within minutes. Outstandingly fast in fact. We were using them out of rush hour and were told the response time was not surprisingly slower during those times. Staff were always very helpful,
Overall an excellent stay and a highly recommended hotel.
"Great location and amenities"

Lovely welcoming staff. The hotel has a very good location for transport, excursions, shopping and eating. As a guest you can return in the afternoon for free coffee and cake after excursions to refuel.
My room was quiet and everything in working order. I'd recommend it for anyone apart from rowdy groups, it does not have that feel to it. It's a family run business and I always like to support those.
"Nice place to stay, but beds need to be renewed"
February 14th 2018, kath644, Belgium
The hotel is a nice place to stay and located very centra. There are two parking lots around the corner (not included in the price), friendly staff and good breakfast with a lot things to choose from.
BUT ... the quality of the bed is very poor. The mattresses were really worn out. You can just feel the springs. The bathroom is somewhat old fashioned, but it's clean.
"Good location, nice staff, breakfast and rooms."
February 11th 2018, ceciliae349, Sweden
Clean room, with nice furniture and soft pillows. Silent, but still you are in the middle of Copenhagen!
You can walk to the best places in town, and when you get tired go back to the hotel and take a coffee or tea together with a danish in the foaje.
"Good accommodation in the heart of Copenhagen."
February 9th 2018, John Z, Genève, Schweiz
Friendly staff. Great location. I was here on a business trip. The room was small and a bit cramped but clean and with a good bed.
The breakfast buffet was good. If you are happy with a simple place, this hotel is a good fit.
"Cozy hotel with the perfect location"
January 21st 2018, Helga H, Iceland
This hotel is quite small but cozy and comfortable for a very reasonable prize. Perfect location; practically "everything" is within a walking distance. Surrounding is quiet.
The bed was comfortable and we slept like babies. Will definitely choose this one again on our next trip to lovely Copenhagen.
"Comfortable, Clean, great Buffet Breakfast & Excellent Location"
January 3rd 2018, EDWARDL782, Florida, United States
This is not an expensive hotel, but it is comfortable, room size is good, bed is good, buffet breakfast is great and it is within walking distance of a lot of Copenhagen.
Being right across the street from the Rosenborg Slot, we hiked in the gardens and visited the residence the first day.
The harbor is perhaps 1.5 miles away, a nice walk after breakfast !
Tivoli Gardens is 3 kilometers away, another nice hike.
The staff of the hotel were always friendly, and acquired a taxi for us when we departed for Norway.
Not sure about parking here, we did not have a rental vehicle, so not sure where customers park.
When you consider that many Copenhagen hotels are quite expensive, we were very happy with our stay here!
December 29th 2017, R B, New York, United States
This hotel is perfectly located next to King's Garden and in a beautiful and quiet part of central Copenhagen. Since this was the first hotel I stayed in in the city, I got a very good impression of Copenhagen. It is a small family-run hotel with a cozy atmosphere.
The rooms are basic, but provide everything you need. The breakfast that comes with the room is amazing, and the bread is the best I have ever had. They even throw in some schnapps. An evening snack is also provided and very welcome after a long day of walking. The staff is so nice and helpful. It takes you about 10 minutes to walk to the Kongens metro stop, and the street the hotel is on has several good restaurants. When I return to Copenhagen, I will not stay anywhere else.
"Great place to stay when visiting Copenhagen"
December 25th 2017, Robert K, Virginia, United States
The hotel is a bit small but very comfortable. Located on a quiet side street, it is about a 20 minute walk to the center of the city and lots of shopping. Located close to various museums and the metro, this is the perfect place to stay at when planning a sight seeing vacation.
The rooms are clean, comfortable and the staff is quite friendly and provide excellent service. They go the extra mile for you to ensure your stay is enjoyable.
"Excellent choice when visiting Denmark!"
December 18th 2017, driftoner
The hotel was excellent. Great location and extremely helpful staff. I traveled alone and stayed in a small double room, which while tiny was very well appointed and had all I could need.
Closet space was great and nook under bed was perfect for storing luggage out of the way. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Bathroom was great - nice large shower. And breakfast was just fantastic. So many choices, so beautifully presented. Always well stocked, even at 9:45 am (when it closes at 10:00). And I can't say how much I enjoyed coming back during the day or at night and being chilled and always having hot tea (or coffee) available to warm me up. Front desk staff were extremely gracious and helpful with any questions or requests. Thank you for making my stay in Copenhagen so enjoyable!
December 14th 2017, Raymond A
Very helpful,Great service,central to everything. Easy going overall. Everyone speaks English without being asked. I recommend a stay at this small unassuming hotel to anyone.
Weezie was the best in the mornings for a smile and starting your day off on the brighter side. Steefen was the most helpful and could hold a conversation beyond the basics. Great hotel for all.
"Good base for exploring the city"
December 4th 2017, Richard W, Ediburgh, Great Britain
We stayed here recently. The hotel is relatively small and is located in a quiet street about 10 minutes walk from the Metro, Nyhavn and Stroget. We had a decent sized room, including a desk/chair and two easy chairs.
There is no tea/coffee making equipment in the room, but complementary tea, coffee, juice and pastries are available all day on the ground floor. A continental breakfast with a good selection is included in the price. The free wi-fi gave a strong signal, and the staff were all very friendly and efficient.
"Great place to stay"
December 3rd 2017, Vind E
When in Copenhagen this is a great place to stay. It is not a five star hotel, and the rooms are pretty simple. But the price is reasonable, the staff is very nice and the breakfast is great.
And it is situated just near by one of the greatest attractions in The King’s city, the Rosenborg palace.
"Perfect for our needs"
November 26st 2017, janey078, Ireland
Stayed in a triple room which although basic, had enough space and the bathroom had a great shower with lots of hot water.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast had a great selection and some fabulous breads and pastries.
The complimentary tea/coffee and pastries throughout the day were a lovely touch and saved a lot of money if you’re on a budget. Would happily stay here again on my next trip to Copenhagen.
"Good enough basic hotel"
November 21st 2017, MusicLovingCouple, Great Britain
We just returned from a 2 night stay, and although familiar with Copenhagen had not stayed here before. We'd be happy to stay again too, if on a budget or in a 'practical' frame of mind, since the place is pretty basic.
However, the staff were helpful and smiley, the breakfast was adequate, the room clean and bathroom, though small and clinical, was also clean, with a decent shower.
Our street facing room had a bit of noise on Saturday night, but since we always travel with ear plugs this was manageable. It's a brisk 10 minute walk to the beginning of the touristy areas, and not on a 'party' street.
This is not a romantic hotel but within its price range range I suspect a pretty good option for this pricey city.
"Would most definitely stay again"
November 7th 2017, David W
The hotel was very comfortable and well-maintained. Complimentary breakfast was excellent. The staff was friendly and fluent in English. Located on a quiet street off the King's Gardens walkable to many sites.
The room was small by USA standards, but locals told me this was typical of Danish hotels. Total space including bathroom was about 25 square meters or about 200 square feet. My room looked like what was shown online. Wifi is not encrypted.
"Perfect, small and nice hotel"
November 5th 2017, Arne_Ryppen, Norway
My wife and I stayed at this hotel over a weekend and it was perfect for us. Nice staff and room and very central but at the same time very quiet.
Breakfast was simple but contained what we needed. Our room was at the back side of the hotel and as a superior room it was quite roomy.
"Great location with friendly staff and plentiful breakfast!"
November 2nd 2017, Kentcomments, Wisconsin, United States
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Christian IV. Great location close to attractions and restaurants in a quiet neighborhood. We definitely recommend it. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The breakfast was wonderful. Great stay!
"Four Comfortable Nights"
October 30th 2017, windsorwand31, Halifax, Canada
The hotel was recommended by friends who had stayed here previously. The location was excellent for exploring the city on foot.
Our room on the 4th floor was clean and comfortable. We had one desk chair and one comfortable sitting chair. I found the lighting to be a little dim for reading in the evening. The wifi was excellent ( and part of the room rate) . The bathroom was a good size with nice thick towels.
The staff at reception and in the breakfast room were pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. It was lovely to return after a day’s exploring to tea, coffee, biscuits, Danish in the breakfast room/ lounge area.
October 24th 2017, RealtD, California, United States
Location of the hotel is very good for walking to most of the sights in this lovely City. Breakfast was excellent with coffee, water, cookies available throughout the day. Very helpful staff.
Recommend reserving a room at the rear of the hotel facing the courtyard. We experienced some street noise from our room in the front of the hotel.
"Fantastic staff at this hotel, ideal location for a family"
October 14th 2017, Martin S, Bergen, Norway
We booked this hotel primarily for the location, and it ended up being exactly what we needed.
Not fancy or modern, but perfect for us (two adults and a baby). The front desk staff helped us choose a different crib for the baby, and the two breakfast servers were wonderful to us, even offering to play with our son and keep him entertained so we could quickly get a bite to eat! We felt so welcome there and would happily return.
"Quiet Location near the Rosenborg Palace and park"
October 8th 2017, ChrisDeng, New Jersey, United States
Friendly and informative staff. Very accommodating. Recommendations for restaurants, mass transit and sites were all perfect.
We had a room on the third floor facing the courtyard and it was very quiet. The mattress could have been more comfortable, but for a few nights, not that bad. They have coffee/tea, cookies and deserts available all day, and we even brought back a salad from a local grocery store and ate in the dining room. Breakfast only had hard boiled eggs, nothing else hot/warm.
The machines for the tickets for mass transit are not as convenient as other European cities, but the trains and buses are up to the usual European standards. 7-11 seems to sell tickets in every country in Scandinavia.
"Great position and service"
October 7th 2017, PeterTerk, Perth, Australia
Stayed at this hotel for a couple of days. Location is perfect for reaching various places in city centre. Service at check-in and throughout was perfect as well.
Room has complementary breakfast, tea and coffee (Including juice and Danish available all day).
Besides this there is complementary Wifi.
Room was nicely sized and everything worked.
October 5th 2017, Lee M
This hotel was wonderful from our room to the service to the food. The atmosphere is boutique, warm and friendly and it's centrally located so it was easy to walk everywhere and trains to and from the airport.
"Good Location for the right price"
October 4th 2017, JPete273, California, United States
This is a great hotel and not too far from everything. It is small and older but very clean. It has charm.
We are in our 60's and walked all over Copenhagen. The fact that this hotel was a little further away from the center of sites didn't slow us down. Nice staff and helpful. Quiet room. Good breakfast. Cookies/danish coffee tea available during the day.
"Excellent welcome front desk staff"
October 4th 2017, Juste1, Montreal, Canada
This hotel is located inthe center of the city where most attarction can be reached by foot. The staff atbthe front desk is excellent as well.
The breakfast was one of the best I have had while travelling in Europe. If you need to get tomte airport after yoirvstay, a metromstation is only a short 8 minutes walk and the ride is less then 30 minute, no need to take a taxi.
"Sweet little hotel in centre of Copenhagen"
September 29th 2017, scoutleader12015, Auckland, New Zealand
We spent 5 nights at the Hotel Christian Iv in September 2017 while in town for a conference. Location was perfect, a pleasant stroll to the Kongens Nyrtov metro station and an easy walk to the Kings Garden, Nyhaven, and many of the other attractions of Copenhagen.
The hotel is not new and is showing a few signs of wear but is clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and fresh tasty food. Coffee, tea, pastries and fruits are available free at all hours, a real bonus in an expensive Scandinavian city. Best of all were the staff, always friendly and helpful, one lady to time out from her duties to help us book the train on to Stockholm. Definitely recommended.
"Everything within walking distance."
September 28th 2017, Anna03972, Perth, Australien
Quaint hotel in ideal location, everything within easy walking distance, also have available for hire bycicle for the more adventurous.
Free coffee or tea all day for guests, no in room facilities or fridge.
September 25th 2017, grovekitten, Great Britain
Although the room décor is a little bit tired, that's about the only negative comment I'd have about this hotel. The staff are friendly and efficient, offering first class advice re restaurants and sightseeing.
The location is brilliant: within easy walking distance of all major sights and attractions. The breakfast is varied, fresh and plentiful and the "on tap" tea, coffee and hot chocolate available day and night is an added bonus. The rooms are spotlessly clean with good showers. The room rate is reasonable for Copenhagen. Would thoroughly recommend and hope to return.
September 13th 2017, Vladimir B, Tula, Russia
It's a great place to stay for good value for money. Close to the most CPH sightseeings and Kongens Nytorv metro station.
Helpful staff, useful lounge with coffee and juice. Another extra option is a wc at the first floor. The district is quite silent.
"Great choice in Copenhagen"
September 12th 2017, LM4U2, Utah, United States
True - its so hard to find reasonable accommodation in Copenhagen. This place was a better value than most, and very charming and comfortable.
The proximity is excellent to get to the cruise ships and about a $50 taxi from the airport. The rooms are cozy but roomy. The upper floor has dormer that let in light, but you can shut the blind as well if you need to sleep. Breakfast was spectacular with lots of cute places to sit. They have an elevator, and you can store your luggage. Front desk was friendly. Totally with walking distance of Nyhavn: on the canal with tons of great restaurants, ice cream, crafts, and stalls. I would highly recommend this hotel and location.
September 10th 2017, Diane K, Wellington, New Zealand
A wonderfully charming and well located hotel that is value for money. Just stay here. Don't look further. Restaurants, museums, parks, metro, palaces are all close.
The staff are friendly. The breakfast is excellent. The hotel is very clean. The rooms are a good size. Stay here.
"Cute boutique hotel"
August 24th 2017, Totoro222, New York, United States
Not too far from Kongens Have, one of the most beautiful parks in Copenhagen, and Rosenborg Slot, Hotel Christian IV is a decently priced, cute but small hotel not too far from the centre of Copenhagen.
The rooms and bathrooms (no baths) are on the smaller, no frills side; and the hotel itself could probably use a couple of interior upgrades. However, the staff was extraordinarily helpful and friendly. The breakfast and tea room were pleasant to eat and recuperate in.
Note that the street can get a little noisy before sunrise, with passing trucks. Closing the windows then drowns out most of the sound. Otherwise it's a very quiet street.
August 20th 2017, Lynne M, United States
Lovely small hotel in a quiet area. Breakfast was spectacular!!! Fresh fruit, sliced meats and cheeses, cereals and yogurt and an assortment of fresh breads. Very helpful staff.
Suggested place for dinner that was wonderful. Small but very comfortable room. Would stay again in a minute.
"Fantastic hotel in the heart of Copenhagen"
August 19th 2017, MR_n_Houston, Texas, United States
Perfectly situated less than one block from the Kongens Have (King's Garden) and Rosenborg Slot (Rosenborg Castle), and walking distance to many sites such as the Amalienborg (Queen's Residence), Kongens Nytorv (King's New Square),
Trinitatis Kirke (Trinitatis Church), Det Kongelige Teater (Royal Danish Theatre); the many restaurants lining the Nyhavn (New Harbor);and, perhaps with a quick rest-stop at a cafe, the Kastellet military fortress and Edvard Eriksen's Den Lille Havfrue (The Little Mermaid).
"Great smaller hotel near to the Park"
August 16th 2017, Sara08122000, Worcester, Great Britain
Quiet independent hotel within an easy walking distance of the main sites and public transport. Breakfast was great; continental and lots of choice. All staff were very helpful at all times.
We took ice up to the room for our G & T's, extra glasses and plates when having snacks...this was no problem. There is no restaurant on site. Room clean. One lift which was small, so you sometimes needed to wait, but it wasn't a problem. Bathrooms are perhaps not as modern or big as some hotels, but they were clean and there was no problem. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay.
"Perfect location, nice breakfast"
August 14th 2017, h0mefree2, Florida, United States
We were thrilled at the great location, just steps from the Rosenborg Palace. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet includes meats, cheese, pate, large assortment of breads and, of course, Danishes.
There were hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, yogurts, lots of cereals and grains. Plus a 24 hour tea and coffee service (with cookies) available in the restaurant/lobby area all free of charge. The rooms are nice sized and clean, but dated (hence the 4 instead of 5 star rating). All in all a great place to stay and we would return.
"Perfect Stay in Copenhagen"
August 12th 2017, J B, United States
Hotel Christian IV was the perfect place for our 4 night stay in Copenhagen. Our Classic Double Room was just right for two people and overlooked a lovely courtyard.
The breakfast was a delight with many local specialties available. The afternoon/evening complementary coffee and tea became part of our evening ritual as we returned to the hotel and sat down to plan our next day's outing. The front desk staff was courteous and friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. The location was close to several bus stops and an easy walk to the train and metro stations. I would stay here again.
"Great little gem in Copenhagen"
August 7th 2017, NLW731, Illinois, United States
We went to visit our son and chose the hotel by location to his apartment. It is a small hotel that made us feel we were having a true Copenhagen experience.
It is walking distance from the major sites and good restaurants and shopping.
The staff was very helpful with directions and tips for traveling. The only thing to be aware of is despite being on a relatively quiet street the nightlife spilled over so we found that closing our windows at night provided a quiet nights sleep.
The breakfast provided was large and having the coffee and cookies available throughout the day was a treat.
August 3rd 2017, Eva S, Barcelona, Spain
Except the weather, our stay in Copenhagen was a great experience. The people was very nice. The city is amazing.
The colour, the castles and...the food (salmon, vegetables...) I wish return! See you soon!
August 3rd 2017, irma z, Toronto, Canada
We had enjoyed our stay at Hotel Christian IV as service is personalized and all the staff are accommodating, friendly and pleasant.
Breakfast is good, lots of food choices and staff always check/refill buffet table. Room is small but bed is comfortable. I will definitely stay here again when I get a chance to visit Copenhagen again.
"Just fine. Good location"
August 2nd 2017, Sveos, Västerås, Sweden
We stayed here two nights in July as a family of four. The fold-out bed was a little too small, but besides that we were happy with our stay. Room was clean and staff was good.
Breakfast area gets a little crowded in the mornings, but there's free coffee and pastry/cookies available 24/7. No warm breakfast, but an OK selection anyway. Hotel was easy to find by car and location was good. Just a few block walk to Nyhavn and next door to Kongens Have and Rosenborg Castle. Parking was quite expensive, though, despite the discount..
"Vintage hotel, beautiful staff"
July 30th 2017, BeautifulSoul1948, London, Great Britain
My partner booked this hotel but I arrived a day earlier as we we were celebrating his birthday whilst in Copenhagen.
The staff helped me surprise him from calls I made whilst in the U.K. and referred me to a lovely cake shop for my partner's cake. On the day, staff were amazing in keeping what I had planned, a secret and arranged a beautiful fruit platter to bring to our room at midnight. So thank you staff for being amazing, very helpful and welcoming. Loved this hotel due to its vintage feel and everything you need is walking distance. Sorry we didn't tidy up before leaving. We were rushing to get our flight. Felt so bad leaving the room in the state we did as we don't usually do that. Thank you.
"Quiet location by the Royal Park"
July 29th 2017, smithnz, Christchurch, New Zealand
The staff were friendly and much to our surprise had a room available when we arrived at 8.00am. This was much appreciated. The taxi to the airport worked out better than expected.
It cost us 270kroner and that was at 8.15am on a Friday morning. It is certainly much more convenient than having to walk to the metro and travelling that way. It is an easy walk to restaurants which are 2 blocks away though there are some others nearby . The restaurant next door was closed due to holidays. We did try the Orangerie in the Park and enjoyed it though it is not cheap and leisurely. It is Danish cuisine and lunch is recommended. The hop on/hop off bus stops are not real close. One is on the opposite side of the Rosenberg castle entrance (it's a beautiful walk through the park) and the other is by the Admiral Hotel (by the taxi sign). We planned our sightseeing around these two stops . Eg. We did the marble church and palace en route to Admiral hotel stop and the castle to the Rosenberg stop. The hotel has bikes available and there are car park buildings close by. The room was clean and the shower good, however the bed was not to our liking being way to soft . The breakfast was what you would expect, though it does get full around 8.30am.
"Good choice in Copenhagen"
July 25th 2017, mpm1, New York, United States
This is a very good hotel with a good price in a very, very pricey city. It is clean, safe, comfortable and quiet for a good night's rest.
The location is good, close to subway to airport (easy ride) and some palaces, but a little bit of a longer walk to the central area. It is a good 25 minute walk to Tivoli--and that was at 10:30pm with little pedestrian traffic and no lingering. It is not a 5-star resort. However, it very much reflects the Danish style and outlook. What does set it apart and above, is the lovely breakfast and breakfast room. We arrived tired and how lovely it was to find hot drinks and cake and cookies seemingly just waiting for us! It is a very relaxing place in general. We enjoyed bringing our own snacks and unwinding there as well. And the breakfast is superb--so much to choose from and so delicious. A good send off to start your day. Sure our room was tiny, but perfectly comfy (and, again, clean!) and cozy and cute. And there's an elevator! We used tripadvisor to find this hotel and so we want others to know it is a good choice for your stay in Copenhagen.
"Clean & neat, great location"
July 16th 2017, Bruno S, Sydney, Australia
We stayed at this hotel for one night / day before our cruise. The hotel is in a great location within walking distance to many of the tourist attractions.
The breakfast included with the room is more that satisfactory. The rooms are not overly large (to be expected in European capital cities), however they are clean and tidy. Would stay here again without reservation. I would recommend this hotel to anyone for a pre or post cruises place to stay for a few days. The staff are very welcoming and happy to answer any questions you may have on anything from tourist attractions to public transport options. Overall a great place to stay.
"Lovely hotel near King's Garden"
July 13th 2017, finoaqc, Quebec, Canada
I loved this hotel! Rooms are teeny tiny (typical European) but comfortable (I had a "Small Double"), quiet and bright.
It was a bit tricky doing my yoga in the mornings - had to move some furniture around ;) Slept very well with windows open in June. Breakfast was pretty much the same each day - but very good, with cold cuts, veggies, hard boiled eggs, bread and pastries, fruit and yogurt and good supply of coffee. There was coffee/tea, cold water, biscuits and fruit out all day. Breakfast room was nice overlooking the quiet street. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location! I walked easily from the hotel to every site in the city and walked to the metro where you can catch a train direct to the airport. I had only a carry on suitcase and backpack; it might be tricky if you had a lot of luggage.
"Excellent service, great location"
July 11th 2017, Mark R, Castaic, USA
The thing that first attracted us to this hotel was its central location, which is fantastic. You are within walking distance of the major sights and two Metro stations.
But the service at the hotel and warm, friendly staff were also fantastic and I would definitely recommend a stay here. Free Wifi at a good speed and a great breakfast added to an excellent experience in the best style of privately run hotels.
"Great location, value, WiFi"
July 9th 2017, 4ontheroadMD, United States
It's easy to walk around the city from this hotel and unlike most places in Copenhagen, the place is easy on the wallet.
Our room had two big windows which opened to let in the fresh air. And while I would not call the room charming, it was certainly functional and comfortable. And it was one of the few European hotels we were in with strong wifi so I could use my US phone without incurring roaming charges. Staff was helpful and the free breakfast was excellent. Just a great value for the money. I would definitely consider staying there again.
"Good Location and value"
July 8th 2017, Julia B, North Carolina, United States
I booked this hotel for reasons others have stated and the rest of our group did also. The location is excellent and price good.
The rooms are basic, but adequate. The bath was a bit problematic with the sink in the shower area, so the floor needed to be squeegeed after a shower. We were on top floor and at the back, so noise was not a problem. The breakfast room is nicely laid out with an assortment of good food. There is a lounge next to it with a couple more tables and a section for visiting. The staff was pleasant and accommodated us for leaving luggage when we arrived on an early morning flight. I emailed them for information from home and someone always answered in less than 12 hours.
"Wonderful stay at central Copenhagen"
July 3rd 2017, PaulalovesPortland, Oregon, United States
Great location with neighborhood feel. Only 1 block from Christian IV Palace and several blocks from Nyhavn.
Our room was a good size for three people and the bathroom was adequate. The complimentary breakfast was varied and delicious and we were able to use the dining room to bring back food during other meal times. Staff was very helpful with the requests that we had during our stay. There is street noise, but Copenhagen is a busy city and is to be expected.
"Cosy and Traditional place"
June 27th 2017, Tora_Chaudhuri, India
We decided to stay here going by Tripadvisor reviews because of the location and the price because Copenhagen is one of the costliest cities we have been to.
Kongens Nytorv metro stop is about 15 mins ride from the airport and 10 mins walk from the hotel.Tourist attractions like Nyhavn, Rosenborg Palace,Stroget shopping mile,Amalienborg Palace,Frederikskirke are all a few minutes walk away.Located in a quiet neighbourhood, this cosy place with it's traditional decor made our stay pleasant.Pia at the front desk was very helpful. Breakfast ,included in the room rate was awesome...fresh bread,boiled eggs,cereals,fruits,juices and last but not the least the melt in the mouth Danish pastries.Tea and coffee along with cookies and pastries are available all day in the lobby.Wifi was good,they also have a computer in the lobby which can be used.Room was spacious for our family of three.There are a few good eateries at stone's throw and a supermarket too.We had a cruise to Oslo and to reach the port we took bus no.26 which stops at a 5mins walk from the hotel which again was very convinient.Very happy with the stay and would definitely stay here again.
