Check rates for Admiral Hotel Copenhagen
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Copenhagenhotel search — search for “Admiral Hotel Copenhagen” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +45 33 74 14 14 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

Should you book this hotel?
The verdict
Book it for the harbour pin and five-star address; do not book it expecting flawless service or generous rooms — both are named weaknesses beside an 8.6 headline.
The geography is why this hotel is here. our hotel data provider puts Nyhavn at 0.2 km, the Opera at 0.3 km, Christiansborg at 0.4 km, Amalienborg at 0.6 km and Strøget at 0.6 km. Location scores 9.15 out of 10. Tivoli is 1 km; København H 0.9 km; CPH airport 8.6 km.
The supplier rating is 8.6 out of 10 from 9,844 reviews, captured 9 January 2026. Service scores 8.91 while the same analysis names unhelpful staff in places; room quality 8.29 cites cramped rooms and awkward furniture; cleanliness 8.15 mentions dirty room elements and bathroom shortfalls; value 8.49 includes overpriced-for-quality comments. Architecture and comfortable beds appear in the pros.
Facilities match the tier: parking, restaurant, family rooms, pets allowed, bar, sauna, accessible parking and snack bar are listed. There is no fitness centre in the filtered amenity facts we cite.
Check-in from 02:00 PM until midnight; check-out 12:00 PM. No chain is recorded.

Not for
- Guests who need large rooms — size limitations are a named con
- Anyone who will not tolerate inconsistent service at five-star rates
- Travellers who want a fitness centre on site — not in cited facility facts; Comwell lists one

This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.

Admiral Hotel Copenhagen — common questions
- Is Admiral Hotel worth five-star money?
- Only if the Toldbodgade pin and heritage building are what you are buying. The supplier score is 8.6 out of 10 from 9,844 reviews as of 9 January 2026, but guest analysis names inconsistent service, room-size limits and food-quality gaps. Read the category detail, not just the headline.

- 1 km on our hotel data provider’s figures — walkable for many. Nyhavn at 0.2 km and the Opera at 0.3 km are the nearer walks this hotel is built around.
- What time is check-in and check-out at Admiral Hotel Copenhagen?
- Check-in is from 02:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 PM, with the latest accepted arrival at 12:00 AM. These are the property's own published times as published by the property to our hotel data provider. Luggage storage is listed among the facilities.

- Our hotel data provider records Nyhavn at 200 m, The Royal Danish Opera House (Operaen) at 300 m, Christiansborg Palace (Slotsholmen) at 400 m. Distances are straight-line from the property, so a walking route is usually a little longer.
- Which airport is nearest to Admiral Hotel Copenhagen?
- The supplier records CPH as the served airport for this property. That is the airport code our hotel data provider associates with the hotel, not a measured distance — check the route for your own arrival time before you rely on it.
