Copenhagen Admiral Hotel

I booked this hotel because it was supposed to be in a beautiful location (Nyhavn) and one of the oldest and grandest hotels in this area. They have a lot of unique features because of their history and the lobby is certainly beautiful.
However … that’s where it all ends.
The rooms themselves are smelly. They literally smell like old, sour gum. I am not sure how I came up with that but that’s what old sour gum would smell like! The rooms are also awkward, small, have random beams in the middle that disrupt the space, and not very updated. The bedding is rough, and the whole thing is just ok. For how much I paid this was most definitely not worth it.
The whole place was just outdated and musky. I didn’t really see any good that came out of this. I would definitely come back for the lobby, the lobby bar, and even the hotel restaurant because the first floor is just gorgeous, old ambiance and rustic wood … but don’t stay here!

Small outdated rooms, thin walls — you can hear your neighbors snoring and having sex. You can hear the base from the bar or a neighboring venue. Don’t bother with this place. Horrible.

This is an old storage house turned into a luxury hotel. The ambience is fantastic with rustic wood logs exposed throughout the hotel. The front desk is very friendly and professional. The hotel elevators and slow and somewhat flaky. Clearly in need of an upgrade. The rooms are small but with modern /​high end Danish furniture. The rooms have no AC so it can be stuffy in a humid summer month. The bathrooms are somewhat dated, but of OK quality.
The warm water lines were broken the day I arrived and it took them 5 – 6 hours to fix the water. On the third day the warm water was shutoff 10 – 2 for maintenance. Far from ideal for a luxury hotel.
The hotel has free wifi and it is of decent speed.
The breakfast buffet is another 145kr /​$ 26 per person. The buffet is OK but not too extravagant. You get your normal eggs, bacon, bread, cut meat, cheese, so it could be much worse.
Given the lack of AC, and the water problems we are likely to stay elsewhere next time we are in town.

Old hotel but great staff. Rooms are spacious but need more air circulation. Very close to city centre so everything is a short walk away.

Walls are paper thin. You will hear everything your neighbors are doing and saying as if they were in the same room with you.
If that’s ok, then the rest will be fine. Cool building repurposed into a hotel. Nice enough bar. Great location on the water and near Nyhavn. However, I refer you back to the first paragraph of this review.

where are my slippers?
he only time i really thought i needed them and none were supplied. actually if you needed amenities there was a machine downstairs that you feed coins to and it gives you a shaver or a toothbrush etc.
if you could get over the musky smell of the place then its quite comfortable. the heating isnt very good but its an old place.
breakfast is a absolute rip off so walk 2 mins that way and youll get it for a 3^rd of the price.
ask for a room away from the front of the hotel as there is a taxi stand there and the drivers get out and yap to each other and play their music all night long

Das Admiral ist ein großes Hotel in Kopenhagen. Direkt am Wasser. Und schön fussläufig zum Zentrum des Kopenhagener Nightlife. Die Inneneinrichtung ist dem Thema Schifffahrt gewidmet, das begeistert sicher den einen oder anderen. Mein Fall ist es nicht, aber so richtig gestört hat es auch nicht… Ist halt kein Design Hotel. Dafür ist es ein auf internationales Publikum ausgerichtetes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Service. — Das Restaurant Salt kann ich besten Gewissens empfehlen. Das Menü inklusive Weinbegleitung war sehr schmackhaft und fein abgestimmt. — Gerne wieder, auch wenn ich weniger Plüsch und Plum schöner finde.

Great location, cozy rooms (albeit maybe a bit on the small side), clean and friendly staff.

Lovely hotel, if a bit of a tourist (and tour bus) magnet. Hey, I may be a tourist in Copenhagen but that doesn’t mean I want to deal with loads of them! I didn’t have a problem with thin walls, though on the first floor, there was a lot of noise from the terrace dining area below. The service was quite polished and warm, and the location is convenient. The bed could have been more comfortable, and I can’t fathom how a hotel has a down comforter AND wool blanket on the bed in June.

Nice hotel, location really good, just down by Nyhavn and really short walking downtown to Stroget or some nice gardens to hangout in.
The rooms are big and cosy and clean.

Beautiful hotel. Nice high ceilings and ancient wood beams.
Comfortable and beautiful furnishings in my room. Large modern HD flatpanel samsung TV with HD channels.
Some minor problems: by bathroom was not perfectly clean, and as other reviews have reported the walls seem strangely «thin» which is odd, since they have 18″ wooden beams suggesting very thick walls. Perhaps no insulation. Lots of noise from rooms above, and to the sides.
I love that the room has a huge glass door that I can open all the way to a tiny railing. Its not a full balcony or anything I can step out on, but at least I can lean out and see some more of the city.
nice views.

Really nice. In front of the sea, clean rooms in an unique atmosphere (the building is an old silos). In the center of the city, a little bit expensive but like everything here in Copenaghen !!

Nice, but not particularly kids friendly. No potty, no kids portions in the room service.

Perfect location. The staff is helpful and friendly.
Rooms are clean and tidy, though relatively small. Be sure to get one facing the seaside.
The breakfast was phenomenal and had a delicious local touch.
