Frederiksberg is just outside Kopenhagen and since hotel prices in Kopehagen are fairly expensive some people opt to stay in Frederiksberg. The top 5 recommended hotels in Frederiksberg – well there are really only 4 recommended hotels in but the fifth one mentioned here is only a kilometer and a half outside of Frederiksberg in Kobenhavn – are:

Cabinn Scandinavia
This is a reasonably priced hotel but the rooms are small and so are the beds. The good news is that it is peaceful, close to the lakes and in walking distance to the center of the town. It is also close to the metro for those who may want to travel into Kopenhagen. The place is clean and breakfast is included breakfast. It is considered a no-frills hotel so for that standard it is pretty good. (Details and price comparison here..)

Avenue Hotel
The Avenue Hotel is situated on a busy main road and this means that rooms on the front might be noisy. If you are staying in Frederiksberg to save money on your vacation to Kopenhagen, remember that this is a suburban area and you will need transportation to get into the heart of the city or to the Tivoli Gardens. This is a pleasant place to stay and the staff is excellent. (Details and price comparison here..)

Cabinn Express
This is the express version of the Cabinn Scandinavia and as such is really a no frills hotel. The rooms are small. There is barely enough room for a double bed and the bathroom is very compact with a sink and toilet and shower. However the rooms do have a kettle, mugs, and tea and coffee. The reception area closes at 11 p.m. It is about a 10 minute walk to Tivoli. (Details and price comparison here..)

Hotel Euroglobe
The Hotel Euroglobe is rather hostel-like. For instance, there are two bathrooms and two WC on each floor. These are separate from each other. Every room has a washing basin with hot and cold water. There are family rooms with four beds, three beds, large twin rooms and single rooms. (Details and price comparison here..)

Bertrams Hotel Guldsmeden (in Kobenhavn)
This is a charming hotel but for some the charm is a little too rustic while for others four-poster beds and clawfoot bathtubs are romantic. Guests praise the breakfast and there is tea and coffee served free all day long. It is a 15 minute walk from downtown Kopenhagen. This is more of a B&B than a hotel but it is a delightfully pleasant place. (Details and price comparison here..)

These are the top 5 recommended hotels in Aalborg. Of course, the prices are not cheap to those unaware of the cost of living in Denmark. The prices tend to run in the mid to high $200s range. Aalborg is the third largest city in Denmark.

First Slotshotel
This is a top-rated hotel with modern rooms with the usual amenities including a minibar. The hotel has a solarium, a fitness room, a sauna and even table tennis. The best part (for most) is the location which is by the harbor which offers a great view and close to shopping. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Scandic Aalborg
This is one of the cheapest deals in Aalborg but the experience has been compared to being in a youth hostel. Actually it does look like a former school with wide staircases and basic rooms. There is no elevator and the beds are narrow. It is close to the airport but kind of isolated from other amenities. For instance, there are few other restaurant choices around. But parking is free and so is breakfast. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Helnan Phønix Hotel
The Helnan Phoenix offers an interesting experience because the 18th-century red brick building has served as a hotel since 1853. Not only is it historic, the hotel is located 500 meters from the center of Aalborg. It provides rooms with high speed internet access, cable tv, and a minibar. There is a great buffet breakfast and a very comfortable bar. It is worth mentioning that some guests have complained about the cleanliness of the rooms. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Zleep Hotel Aalborg
This hotel is part of a chain and is conveniently located being close to the city center as well as close to the airport. However, it helps to have a car to get to either. There is wireless internet service as well as a Net Café. In spite of being part of a chain, the hotel is a 70s style building. This actually makes it have a bit more personality than a typical chain hotel. (Details and price comparison here..)

Best Western Hotel Scheelsminde
The Best Western Hotel Scheelsminde was once one of Denmark’s manors. It was built in 1808 and is quite an historical building and beautifully situated in a large park. It has all of the amenities and there is a bus stop for a bus that takes you to the center of the city in less than 10 minutes. It is one of the cheaper hotels in the city but some guests have been critical of the cleanliness of the rooms. (Details and Price comparison here..)

These are the top 5 recommended hotels in Odense. The choice ranges from the basic to the chain-type hotels. All of these are in the standard economy price range.

Ydes Hotel
The price at the Ydes is about the lowest you will find but you might think that are a couple of odd things about this hotel. For instance, instead of a reception area, there is a buzzer. The reception person then comes to you from the hotel down the street or else you are invited to go up the street to the other hotel to get registered. It is a no frills hotel and the rooms are not large. The bathrooms are small and not a lot of linen is supplied and no toiletries are supplied.

First Grand Hotel
There are two main benefits to this place. One is the breakfast which is considered to be a very good spread with fruit, eggs, meat, bread and pastries. The other benefit is the convenience of location which is essentially in a pedestrian mall. However, not all the rooms are in the main hotel which is attached to the mall. Most of the rooms are in an annex. For some the trek from the main hotel to the annex is not a pleasing experience because it involves traveling through two buildings to get to it. The rooms are very basic but clean. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Domir
Another good place to stay and the price is reasonable. However be aware that if you pay with a credit card, you will be charged a 6 percent service charge. This can add up. The service and food are both fine. The rooms are clean and comfortable and have all the necessities including an iron, a safe, a tv, and a radio. It is close to both the center of the city and the train station. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Clarion Hotel Plaza
The price is, like the other hotels in this review, reasonable by Odense standards and the Clarion is elegant in an old-fashioned style. There is free internet in the rooms and other little touches that make this a nice place to stay. One of the downsides is that if you open the windows for fresh air, the sound of the traffic on the ring road next to the hotel might keep you awake. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Cab Inn
This is another centrally located hotel (two minutes from the train station) and that is a very good thing. It is also recently renovated which adds to the bright, clean appearance of the Cab Inn. There is free wireless internet in the rooms, which tend to be small. Breakfast is not cheap and there are not a lot of cafes in the area but the price is in keeping with the cost in other Odense restaurants. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Choosing a hotel in Aarhus relies a lot on your needs and wants. There is a variety of hotel styles in this Danish city. It must be noted that none of these hotels are really cheap but their prices are standard fare for Denmark. These are the top 5 recommended hotels in Aarhus.

Aarhus Comfort Hotel Atlantic
The Aarhus Comfort Hotel Atlantic is ideally located, close to everything including the art museum and concert hall as well as the Gold Club Casino. The price is a little lower than neighboring hotels. Nevertheless, the hotel offers a free buffet breakfast, daily newspaper, and laundry service. Pets are welcome. (more information here..)

Aarhus Hotel La Tour
La Tour Hotel in Aarhus is considered one of the best choices when it comes to price. The rates are low but the quality is high although some people have complained about the cleanliness of the rooms, noticing dust and grungy looking furniture. As well as a free breakfast, the hotel also offers a fitness center, pet services, and internet. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Aarhus Hotel Helnan Marselis
The Hotel Helnan Marselis is located besides Marselisborg Forest and Aarhus Bay (and its beach). For a modern hotel, it has a lovely country aspect and is considered very nature-conscious. Calling it modern may not be entirely accurate because while it has amenities such as free internet and cable, the rooms do look old fashioned and for some people the dated look takes away from the positive current aspects of the hotel. It also provides pet services, a fitness center, swimming pool, and beach access. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Aarhus Plaza Hotel
The Plaza Hotel in Aarhus is part of the Scandic hotel chain. What this hotel has that the others reviewed here don’t have is a children’s play area and children stay for free. It also has a jacuzzi, solarium, and sauna. It boasts South-American fare in its restaurant which is considered to be very good. There are five room sizes and it is not recommended to book the single room size (the smallest size) as it is very small. Also don’t book a room on the main floor as it can be quite noisy. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Hotel Guldsmeden
One of the aspects of the Hotel Guldsmeden that sets it apart is that it is not part of a chain like so many of the hotels in Aarhus. The rooms are not large – even the largest room is barely a double according to typical hotel standards. However it is centrally located and people rave about the breakfast that the hotel provides. The street side of the hotel is noisy at night but the court yard side is very quiet. (Details and Price comparison here..)

Looking for a hotel in Kopenhagen can be a challenge for anyone who has never visited the area but this is true of any place. One of the best ways to choose a hotel in a city that you are unfamiliar with is to check the reviews for hotels in that city. Of course, different reviews will appeal to different people. A business person is looking for a different experience than a vacationing family is seeking.

These are the top 5 recommended hotels in Kopenhagen:

Crowne Plaza Hotel Copenhagen Towers
The Crowne Plaza is highly rated and people who have stayed there say it is lovely and clean with large comfortable rooms. There is free parking and free WIFI. The décor is minimalist Scandanavian. The only complaint is the location. It is not near the center of the city and there is a lot of construction going on around the hotel. If you are there on business and want no distractions, it will be ideal. But to get to the center of action, you will need to take a taxi or a train. (more info here)

Nimb Hotel
This Nimb Hotel receives rave reviews from people who stay there. They praise the rooms, the service, and the location. Even the pickiest traveler is hard pressed to find something to complain about here. The rooms even have open fireplaces and a staff member will come and light it for you. (more info here)

Hilton Copenhagen Airport
The reviews of this excellent hotel deem it to be ideally located for those flying into Kopenhagen. You can literally roll your luggage into the hotel directly from the airport without going outside. While it is not close to the center of the city, you can hop on the Metro or the train and in 15 minutes you are in the heart of the city. The rooms and service are delightful. Executive guests get free internet but there is a charge equivalent to $25USD to other guests for the use of the internet. (more info here)

Somandshjemmet Bethel
If you are looking for a place that is not quite as pricey, the Somandshjemmet Bethel is the right choice. It is not a luxury hotel. But what it lacks in niceties such as glasses in your hotel room it more than makes up for with charm. Also it is just a few minutes to the exciting areas of the city such as canal rides and Tivoli as well as shopping, bars, and bistros. (more info here)

Radisson Blu Royal Hotel
The Radisson Blu is centrally located with the Tivoli and shopping nearby. The overall attitude of guests is that it is a lovely place to stay but the food is costly and the hotel needs to be seriously rejuvenated. But if you like the charm of an older hotel, the convenience of the shopping and closeness of other places to eat makes this a good choice. (more info here)
