Hotel Grand Joanne Hotel Review
"A magnificently beautiful, newly restored 1800s building in the heart of Vesterbro, Copenhagen. Kindness transcends the entire house and circulates from Grand Joanne into Vesterbro towards passionate, kind people – traveling or just looking for a place to hang out." - Joanne

The Bottom Line
What We Loved
- Good location close to Copenhagen Central Station & Tivoli Gardens. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within 5 minutes in any direction.
- The gym is large and has lots of equipment, albeit it is in the windowless basement.
- Friendly staff that spoke English well.
- You can text them via Whatsapp & they respond quickly.
- The included breakfast was good with a variety of items during our 2-night stay.
What We Didn't Like
- There were misses with small touches in the room: a robe but no slippers, a kettle but no coffee machine. The bathroom has toothbrushes but no wash cloths.
- Room does not have a useable fridge. We were able store some items in the fridge behind the front desk.
- Two elevator system to get to the room with luggage. The 2nd elevator is small & can only accommodate 1 person with luggage.
- Room is expensive and the view is the inner workings of the hotel where staff is taking out trash & laundry.
- Water temperate system is weird. The sink faucet only has 1 knob and you have to turn it all the way to the left to get hot water, same for the shower.
- The bathroom is small, with a shallow sink resulting in water splashing everywhere.
- Bathroom does not have any counter space.
- Long hallway in the room is unusable space.
The Verdict
Hotel Grand Joanne is a good base for exploring Copenhagen close to Copenhagen Central Station & Tivoli Gardens. Our two-night stay was pricey (5.422 DKK) and while the room was spacious, it had a small bathroom & view of hotel's trash. If I stayed here again in the future, I would book the Deluxe room (again) for a lower rate (under 2.000 DKK per night) without the breakfast option as there are many restaurants within walking distance.
Helpful Tip
Skip the breakfast package & grab a hot dog from John's Hot dog deli near the train station.
