Hotel Centrum - Copenhagen, Denmark 

Ants in the beds :(
Posted: Thu, Aug 09 2007
This hotel is okay for short holiday in Copenhagen and very near the central train station which is great. My mom and I stayed for 5 nighs at this hotel and we stayed in seperate beds in the same room. Sometimes we did wake up during the night because we could feel ants or something on our skin. We didn´t think it was serious but after few days we saw that we had got hundreds of ant bites all over our body´s from the beds and we had to get medications after we got home to treat the horrible bites. I will not stay there again, thats for sure.

Good value for money

This is a decent hotel in an expensive city. Reception is very friendly, the bedrooms are clean, breakfast is good. The only down points were the bathroom. It was quite small and everytime you had a shower it flooded the whole floor! Also, we were on the front of the hotel and even though it didnt really bother us you can hear street noise from outside so if you're a light sleeper I'd ask for a quiet room. Even though the hotel is near the red light district I never felt unsafe and neither my boyfriend nor I got any hassle whilst we were there. The hotel is also minutes from the train station which is very convenient. This isnt a luxury hotel by any means but it's not a hostel either. It's clean and the rooms are a decent size. I would definately recomend this hotel to anyone going to Copenhagen who wants a nice clean place to stay near the city centre. I wouldnt recomend it to people looking for 5* luxuries. All in all a pleasant stay.

Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo

Il Centrum è un hotel adeguato, in una città molto costosa. Il personale della reception era molto gentile, le camere erano pulite, la colazione era di buon livello. L'unico punto negativo era il bagno, che era piuttosto piccolo. Inoltre, ogni volta che facevamo la doccia, allagavamo tutto il pavimento del bagno! La camera era situata sul davanti e, anche se a noi non dava particolarmente fastidio, potevamo sentire il rumore proveniente dalla strada. Se avete il sonno leggero, chiedete una camera silenziosa. Anche se l'hotel si trova nei pressi del quartiere a luci rosse, io e il mio ragazzo ci sentivamo perfettamente al sicuro e non abbiamo avuto alcun problema. L'hotel dista alcuni minuti dalla stazione ferroviaria, la posizione è comodissima. Non è assolutamente un hotel lussuoso, ma non è neanche un ostello: è pulito e le camere sono abbastanza ampie. Consiglierei assolutamente l'hotel a chiunque si rechi a Copenaghen e sia in cerca di un hotel bello e pulito, situato nei pressi del centro. Non lo consiglierei a chi sia in cerca di un hotel 5 stelle. Tutto considerato, abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno molto gradevole.

Pleasantly Surprised. Good Value for Money.

As the saying goes, "In this life, you get what you pay for", and I suspect that many people expect a little too much for their pound or dollar when poor reviews are posted on this site. The Centrum does not set itself in the luxury category, but more as a good value, mid-range hotel, a niche it occupies very well indeed. Okay, the area where it is positioned may not be plush and the comments about being in the red light area are justified, but not once did I feel frightened or uncomfortable whilst walking in the area, even late at night. Our room was basic and small but adequately equipped and clean, although the bathroom was very tiny and the shower area was probably less than a meter square, so we actually ended up not even using the shower curtain and using the bathroom as a wet room. There was no fridge or safety deposit facility in our room (although I understand that safety deposit is available at reception). Cable TV and telephone were also featured. The staff were always very courteous and friendly and breakfasts were impressive with a good choice of cereals, juices, tea / coffee, various cheeses, cold meats, pate and, of course, Danish pastries. Breakfast was never a rushed affair as can often be the case, so it was a nice way to start off the day. Also, hot and cold drinks machines are available close to the elevator, and there is free internet access in the reception area. The Centrum is within easy walking distance of most attractions, museum and galleries and is amazingly close to the central railway station. Tivoli Gardens is just a few minutes walk, so the hotel is ideally placed from that point of view. I understand also that as a guest of the Centrum, we were allowed to use a local, very highly rated fitness centre around the corner. We did not make use of this as we were too busy out and about in Copenhagen. This I would imagine makes up for the lack of leisure facilities at the hotel itself. So, if you are looking for good value for money and want to stay in a reasonable standard hotel, you could do far worse than the Centrum. Overall I was pleasantly surprised during my stay here and would likely stay there again.
