Hotel Kong Arthur on Postcard

"Perched on Peblinge Sø, one of Copenhagen ’s man-made lakes, Hotel Kong Arthur is hidden away within the walls of an 1882 apprentices’ residence, on the edge of the hip Nørrebro neighborhood. From the outside, it looks like any other historic building in Copenhagen, hidden down a cobblestoned alley, but walk through the doors and you’ll discover a whole world inside. In honor of the hotel’s medieval-inspired name, a full suit of armor greets guests upon arrival, but the historic comparisons stop there. Each room is individually designed in modern Danish style—minimalist, light, welcoming, with all the modern gadgets and a look worthy of a design magazine. With its highly acclaimed spa, three restaurants, private courtyard, conference rooms, and even an afternoon happy hour for guests, Hotel Kong Arthur is an oasis in and of itself—if only it weren’t so well situated to tempt guests out to explore the city."

What a lovely hotel. Design, relaxed, daily free drink in lively lobby and in a quiet area, 6 minute walk from metro. Bikes, umbrellas available (for an extra price). Good to mention that we stayed in a renovated room. Only remark: we had a sofa bed in our room for third person which was very bad to sleep on. Asked staff for an extra mattress, but was not possible. That could have been handled better. Still (close to) 5 stars considering all the rest.

We have been with the family staying in different rooms of the hotel, and I can only say good things. The personal treatment was friendly, the breakfasts perfect, the atmosphere quiet when it was time and lively when needed, and the rooms very comfortable and clean. They also have a cocktail bar with great combinations... and by the way, never quit the "cozy hour"! In short, we are delighted with the stay and service. We hope to return at some point, greetings from Barcelona! :)

This hotel was AWESOME! Well positioned in Copenhagen and only a stones throw away from a waterway with swan boats. The rooms were nice and comfy with wide windows for opening to let in air flow. They were a little warm without AC. So, a ceiling fan for air circulation may have been nice, but otherwise. No complaints. The grounds were so cute! There were two courtyards in the middle of the building as well as via the back entrance with nice lounge chairs. The continental breakfast was worth it! It was soooo good and had such great variety. There was vegan friendly food, which was nice and often so rare to find for a person from the US. We missed cozy hour our two nights there, but it seemed like such a cute idea. The service was great as well. Everyone was so kind and they even came to check in on us to make sure that we were having a good stay.

What a special city and hotel! Thank you Hotel Kong Arthur for such a fabulous and memorable experience. My fiancé and I stayed at the hotel for 6 nights - we had the double superior room with a view of the lake, which I felt like it was a perfect sized room for the length of time we were staying. It was very clean and good amount of space. Only downside was no AC but that’s pretty typical for European hotels. They have fans and you can open the windows. We actually got engaged during the trip - the staff was very sweet and provided us some freebies (chocolate, champagne, etc.) to help us celebrate! Our favorite staff member was Gustav. He was so nice and accommodating! Also, the breakfast at the hotel is delicious. They have a great variety! We hope to return to Copenhagen soon, and when we do, we’ll be staying at the Kong Arthur!

Great location, with quiet rooms, comfortable mattress and bedding, and very friendly and helpful staff. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that the shower is designed very poorly which leads to water getting all over the bathroom every time we showered. This would be easily fixed by having better drainage and a fully surrounding the shower with a door, or at least a curtain.

One of the nicest hotels we ever stayed in! It felt like home away from home. Nicely decorated and relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly and service minded staff that bring you a bottle of water after a morning run (without having to ask), take the time to explain the nice neighborhoods in Copenhagen and do not fuss about serving you a (free) drink 10 minutes after the happy hour is over. Will definitely stay there again if we're in Copenhagen.

I had a WONDERFUL stay and all the staff were so helpful and friendly. I loved the complimentary afternoon drinks that they have everyday in the lobby. There were just a few things that could be better. By the pictures o line it feels like there is a pool and spa but that is separate so do not expect it to be with the room like I did. My bathroom was quite old compared to some of the pictures online. Also, for an earlier check-in there was a 200dkr fee which it felt a bit steep for just a few hours but I was so tired I paid it.

Perfect location slightly away from the noise but close enough to central part of town. The metro is a short walk (if you have heavy luggage just know it will be a walk through cobblestone for the majority of it). The staff is professional, rooms are clean, comfortable and modern.
