Fru Alstad Vacations from $1,249

Unique property outside of your standard hotel rooms made it feel a bit more special

Staff was helpful and courteous. The checkin desk was at the bar and was staffed 24 hours/day. The room was comfortable, roomy, just as described, had a view of the park across the street. Bed was comfortable (king sized). We had a table with a banquette and chair and a kitchenette--all nice, but starting to look a little scuffed. Americans: the shower does not have a curtain and the glass walls are shallow, so the rest of the bathroom gets wet when you use it, elevator is tiny. 3 restaurants attached to hotel. We only went to one, but the food was very good. Grocery store (Netto) is only a few blocks away. Something having to do with the arrangement of the apartments -- some noises from other rooms transferred, but they were mechanical, not voices, which was disconcerting, but only periodic (but happened enough for me to comment).

We LOVED Zoku and wish we could've stayed for a few more days. The apartment was super clean, and comfy. Fun loft bed for something different. Nice kitchen set up with all you need for making a few light meals. Think IKEA for the whole building. On the 5th floor where the reception is, there is a bar, snacks, sitting areas both indoors and out on the rooftop terrace. They also have hammocks to relax in. The atmosphere is very relaxing. They also have laundry facilities and locker storage for luggage and bikes. There were 2 grocery stores close by. Also, a cafe on the corner. Zoku also had breakfast available, and I believe a restaurant on the upper floor although we didn't use it. I am not sure about parking because we didn't have a car. Walking to the metro took 2 minutes at most. Next time we're in Copenhagen we'll definitely stay here again.

Excellent apartment with everything we needed. Helpful staff. Easy check in despite being outside of the reception opening time. Close to harbour boat stop.
