Scandic Spectrum

Quite upscale, with a rich breakfast spread. It's in the city center, making it convenient to go anywhere.

Conveniently located for getting around, it's a 10-minute walk to Copenhagen Central Station, and there are many bus stops nearby. Across the street is a bay, perfect for a morning run. The breakfast was good too.

I booked a room without breakfast. The hotel room was tiny, only big enough to open one suitcase at a time. We had to close one just to open the second. It was convenient though, with plenty of places to explore nearby. We pretty much did a whirlwind tour in one day. Taking an Uber with a new member discount was cheaper than getting a taxi from the airport. There were lots of food options nearby, and we even ate at a restaurant Andersen often visited. Every day was expensive though – prices were really high. A bottle of water or soda was around 30 DKK. For breakfast, two burgers, a coke, and fries cost about 290 RMB. Renting bikes for two people for half an hour was over 150 RMB. In July, you don't need to wear very thick clothes; it's much warmer than Iceland, but if it's windy, it gets very breezy. It's best to book things in advance wherever you go. Even the train station toilets charge a fee!

The room was small. There were no slippers, toothbrushes, or toothpaste. The light switches and power outlets were very unresponsive, and the labels were unclear. On the afternoon of June 28th, the air conditioning (ceiling unit) started leaking. I reported it to the front desk and was told to wait in my room. No one ever came, and I waited all night!

Close to public transport and a 5-minute walk from Tivoli Gardens. It's worth noting that room cleaning is only done if requested 23 hours in advance. The room was warm but lacked amenities.
