Family-run, the Hotel Absalon Copenhagen is a 4-star hotel on Helgolandsgade, in the Vesterbro neighbourhood. Its brightly coloured rooms were decorated by Designers Guild. It is a good fit if you want to be near the central station and care about starting the day with a good breakfast.

The central station and the Kødbyen area, with its bars and restaurants, are about a 5-minute walk away. Tivoli Gardens and the town hall are about 10 minutes away.
