Hotel Alexandra

Copenhagen was a really vibrant and interesting location. Ideal for a short break to chill out (literally in February) or for culture vultures as there is loads to see and do. The Alexandra hotel was really well placed between the train station and the historic city centre. Despite being on a really busy road, our room was really pretty quiet relative to its location. The staff were very helpful and it had a warm and comfortable atmosphere. We had no trouble with the accommodation at all. We did not eat there as we had decided to eat on the go. Eating out can be expensive depending on what you fancy. Take more money that you think you will need! We followed a walking route around the city centre taking in most of the sights but covered this in a day. On our second day we picked off the venues we wanted to visit in more detail. There was no way we could do it all though and will definitely come back to both the city and hotel, children in tow probably! The weather was rubbish but it didn't stop us. Just wrap up warm and hit the cafes for coffee and cake! We were surprised about just how manageable the trip was. Getting from the airport to the central train station was a breeze - 10-15 mins and only 3 stops and there are options to purchase zone passes for public transport if you don't want to walk around. All the shop and restaurant staff spoke brilliant English, to our shame, so no problems with service anywhere. A revisit to Copenhagen definitely on the cards soon.
