Imperial Hotel

Perfect Location, Great Breakfast, Comfortable Bed

8/17/07 We arrived late night and, having read comments here about some noisy rooms, we had in advance requested a room away from night clubs and trash dumpsters. Our priority was two good nights sleep at the beginning of a long trip. We were given a clean, comfy room facing an inner courtyard. Very quiet both Friday and Saturday nights.

Nice looking, remodeled room and bath. Room was smaller than most US hotels but plenty of space for the two of us and our bags and gear. On this bed, it was impossible not to have a deep, restful sleep.

Up at 06:00, two of the first down for breakfast. It was a wonderful buffet of mostly local foods. Lots of choices so we both had a huge, healthy, wholesome meal to start us on our long day of walking.

Location was perfect for getting an early start to see just about everything in and near the center of town. We could have taken trains to and from the airport, but took a cab only because of our insecurity about the late hour in a strange city. The second night, we could hear fireworks from Tivoli Garden as we turned in -- what a fine ending to a great tourist day!

Staff is friendly, accomodating and helpful to their limits, but there was no dedicated concierge and the people at the front desk, while making themselves available, were limited in this regard. On the other hand, at our request they had a boxed breakfast ready for us to take to the airport for our very early flight next morning. Small negatives: don't rely on the in-room internet; ours did not work. Ok, so the bathroom hadn't been properly cleaned after the previous guest, but all else seemed quite clean and it seemed that the housekeeping staff was undergoing some training.

At current exchange rate, we paid US$430 for two nights with breakfast. Given what we got in a big city, this seemed reasonable.

Overall, we were very happy.

Unique Quality: Excellent location for central Copenhagen site-seeing and main train station.
