Not my usual business hotel but everywhere was full at short notice. Nice staff, clean room but very small room with very little storage. WIFI in the room worked, but I would describe everything as functional. "Bijou" as estate agents would describe it. First time that I have had to sit sideways on a toilet to stop my knees hitting...

Even though it's situated next to the main train station in Copenhagen, and it's "colourful and lively area", it is perfectly located near everything you need (communication, restaurants, shops, etc). Arriving early (1000h) at the hotel, I did not expect to get my room right away, but at the reception I was asked if I would like to become a... More

This been a long due review to collect my first badge! We stayed in this hotel last August (2012) for our Pre Cruise Hotel to see Copenhagen and be safe with any delays. We liked it very much. No complains. We didn't experienced anything negative like what the others have described here. Maybe it depends on your expectations. You get... More

Location and atmosphere of the hotel were great, really cosy place with an ambiance of an old building with creaky floor and rustic furniture. The rooms were clean, the service was also good. Wifi internet was nice thing to have as well, but required annoying logging procedure everytime you wanted to connect. Beds were comfy, the matraces were soft. We... More

Stayed here for two nights a weekend in November, just looking for a place to sleep. The location in Vesterbro is very central , but the nearest neighbohur is a mens club, so ask for a room away from main street. It is very basic with small rooms, and thin walls, so hope for a quiet person next door. Breakfast... More

Overall okay hotel - not a hotel you must try. + Short distance to train station + Well done bacon to breakfast - Poor water pressure. Really poor.. - The breakfast was served in the basement - bad air quality and nearly no windows. Not cosy. - Some noise - Two strip bars outside (might be positive for some....)

We have just got back from a lovely 3 night stay at this hotel. We booked it on a package deal. We hadn't read the reviews on trip advisor before going, but looked at the description given by the trave agents. The hotel is located in an area of strip clubs. None of which bothered us because we were sight... More

The First Hotel Excelsior is a typical city B&B. We chose to upgrade our room and were very happy with the room we got. It´s a comfortable hotel and very close to the Strøget shopping area, Tivoli and central station. It´s possible to park in the street in front of the hotel, although the hotel cannot guarantee a spot. Friendly... More

Okay, before I start I have to say that we are experienced travellers, worldwide with mainly trips being independant, therefore hope we speak from experience. We booked this hotel for our long weekend in Copenhagen (6-9 Sept 2012). At the time of booking we hadn't checked any Tripadvisor reviews as the reviews from the hotel booking website were satisfactory for... More

Found a good rate at the hotels website, as I had problems finding a good hotel for a decent price in Copenhagen. As in rest of scandinavia hotels are expencive. The hotel is the next street from the central station. A 2 minute walk. This is a quiet street. The rooms look new, but they are a little small. Had... More
