The area of Copenhagen where the Absalom Hotel is located is rather sleazy, but because there are many hotels in the area there is no need to feel uncomfortable while going to and from the hotel. The hotel offers no parking facilities, but there is free off-street parking nearby.

Not What We Expected

This hotel was a bit more run-down than we expected. It wasn't the cleanest room. The staff was friendly and the hotel is very close to Kobenhavn Central. For the price it wasn't that bad.
