The Bottom Line

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.

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.
