Hotel Løven (Copenhagen, Denmark)

The hotel is perfectly situated for visiting Copenhagen-it's nearby tourist attractions, dining and transit. You can walk to Tivoli Gardens, lively Strøget shopping street and downtown restaurants, cafes and bars in no time. Also, it's right by the main railway station so arrival by train is easy, and you can catch a bus to tour the city if you don't want to walk. This hotel is a good option if you want to be centrally located at a reasonable price. It's also surprisingly quiet, despite being in the city centre, so you'll get a good night's sleep.

Hotel Løven has a great communal kitchen open 24 hours a day. It's handy if you are travelling on a budget and want to prepare breakfast or snacks, rather than eat out every meal. There are a few supermarkets close by too so it's easy to grab food. A nice bonus, there's always free coffee and tea on hand too.

Hotel staff is knowledgeable and friendly; you can count on them for great tips on restaurants and area activities. They provide free maps handy at check-in and if you arrive outside of standard check-in hours, they're very accommodating. While it is a budget hotel with limited amenities, the service is genuine and you'll feel well taken care of.

Rooms are small and basic, without TVs or the little extras that most hotels provide to enhance your stay. Also, no breakfast is included or offered. That said, rooms are clean, comfortable and reasonably priced for the city centre. It's a great option for shorter stays or a place to sleep when you're out sightseeing all day.

The small bathrooms are actually wet rooms, so everything gets wet and the floors very slippery.

Beds at Hotel Løven are small and uncomfortable and the rooms, while clean, are dated.
