Top Copenhagen Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Copenhagen

Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Copenhagen

10/10 Excellent
"The room didn’t look luxurious or anything but it was very nice. The best thing was the comfortable bed and excellent warm comforters. The view was very nice and breakfast was very good but rather crowded with lots of people. It is a great location to get to the metro. Close to the canal too."
