Reviews of Scandic Sydhavnen

  • Victoria from United Kingdom – 4 April 2025 (9/10)

    First time in Copenhagen great location that gets you into the city with the station. The hotel was comfortable, breakfast was great and the staff were lovely and helpful.

  • Yelena from Denmark – 24 March 2025 (9/10)

    Good location, not far from metro station. Amazing breakfast. Very spacious family room. Free parking. Strongly recommend this hotel.

  • Aimee from United Kingdom – 16 March 2025 (9/10)

    Room nice and spacious, clean and very friendly staff

    What could be improved: Too warm

  • Erman from Czech Republic – 25 February 2025 (8/10)

    Staff was very helpful. Available bikes could be rented for free.

    What could be improved: TV was not working for a day and WC flush was leaking water in the room.

  • Sarah from Ireland – 17 January 2025 (8/10)

    Beautiful junior suite on the 5th floor. Immaculately clean and very comfortable bed and linen.
    Great breakfast selection.
    Very friendly and professional reception staff.

    What could be improved: Would have liked a coffee machine in the suite. 2 packets of instant coffee was personally a big letdown for what I expect in a suite.

  • Barbara from Australia – 15 January 2025 (9/10)

    Room was modern and comfortable and shower easy to operate. Hotel spacious with areas in which to "chill" after a busy day of sightseeing. Breakfast was outstanding, catering for all dietary requirements. The "make your own waffles" was a major attraction!

    What could be improved: Although railway station was close by, it was difficult to walk through the car park to access the side road, especially with suitcases. An additional entrance at the rear of the hotel would have helped.

  • Aspasia from Greece – 5 January 2025 (9/10)

    The room was awesome
    Great design, comfortable and spacious
    The breakfast was excellent

    What could be improved: It is a little bit far from downtown center
    They have too many check in and there are only 2 people at the reception
    The hotel should not look like understaffed

  • Bilal from Denmark – 1 January 2025 (9/10)

    Nice and large room
    Free parking
    The breakfast
    God fitness

    What could be improved: Location okay

  • Rasmus from Denmark – 14 December 2024 (7/10)

    The room and bathroom is really nice

    What could be improved: Breakfast was underwhelming

  • Crina from United Kingdom – 10 December 2024 (8/10)

    The rooms were comfy and clean, as described. The breakfast was more tasty and varied than expected. It was nice to have lounge areas with games and the fitness centre available in the spare time. There's nothing much in the immediate area around the hotel but it's very close to public transport that takes you in the city center.

    What could be improved: It was odd not to have a kettle and tea/coffee in the room. The bathroom light was very strong, no other options/dimmers like in the main room.
