Islay Peat Posted July 8 #1 Share Posted July 8 Journey August 2025 Scotland Intensive leaves from Copenhagen and finishes in Dublin. Anyone have personal experience with hotels in either city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWM Posted July 8 #2 Share Posted July 8 Depending on your budget we loved 71 Nyhavn right at end of the famous nyhavn canal. Expensive area but very picturesque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseaholic78 Posted July 8 #3 Share Posted July 8 (edited) We also loved both the 71 Nyhaven and The Admiral when traveling with my husband on business, but they are expensive. Last time staying pre cruise we booked the NH Collection Copenhagen which was good. We of course have no idea of your budget.

Mrs.Dukes Posted July 8 #4 Share Posted July 8 In Copenhagen, we’ve stayed twice at the Absalon Hotel which we liked. In Dublin, last year we stayed at both The Mont and Buswells. We thought they were both nice hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateWife Posted July 8 #5 Share Posted July 8 Stayed at Buswells in Dublin a couple of years ago. Going back to in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExArkie Posted July 8 #6 Share Posted July 8 Stayed many times in Copenhagen on business, in a variety of hotels. "Good" and "inexpensive" do not co-exist in that city. Last time we went there, we stayed at the Marriott on points because we had a lot of them. It was good, but not really close to much of anything. The above recommendations are great hotels, if you can afford them. Also stayed several times in Dublin on business (did a lot of travel before retiring). A bit out of the main area, but on the red line tram near the national museum (and across the river from the Guinness Storehouse) was the Ashling Hotel which was mid-level, but nice and relatively inexpensive. It's also across the street from a train station where one can pick up a train to the airport. Best place I stayed in Dublin was an executive suite at the Radisson Blue - had an obstructed view of St. Patrick's from the living room windows - that was booked and paid for by one of my clients during my consulting career (Fortune 100 company). That would definitely blow our vacation budget for the next decade or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islay Peat Posted July 8 Author #7 Share Posted July 8 Thanks All. The Admiral in Copenhagen and The Mont in Dublin have my attention. I'll gladly look at the other suggestions. Sail On In Joy and Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Posted July 9 #8 Share Posted July 9 In Copenhagen we have stayed at Hotel St Anne, a block from Nyhaven a couple of times... nice location, not outrageous price... https://hotelsktannae.dk/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Claire Posted July 9 #9 Share Posted July 9 We've booked https://guldsmedenhotels.com/axel-guldsmeden-eco-friendly-spa-hotel/ for 2 nights pre our Baltic Capitals Cruise, not until 11th August so no personal experience as yet but hopefully good!

cruisingsfun Posted July 10 #10 Share Posted July 10 We just stayed at the Morrison - a Hilton hotel. Great location and very helpful staff to help with taxi service and how to get to attractions. Right in the river. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debcip Posted July 13 #11 Share Posted July 13 In Dublin, both Staunton’s on the Green and The Fitzwilliam, on St. Stephen’s Green, are very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mj_holiday Posted July 15 #12 Share Posted July 15 I also recommend the Admiral in Copenhagen. easy walk to various commercial and tourist areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitby100 Posted July 15 #13 Share Posted July 15 Am I correct that Copenhagen does not have hotels close to the port? We won’t be touring Copenhagen prior to our cruise so will be looking for a hotel strictly to get rid of jet lag for a night and then onto the ship. We are currently considering an airport hotel but would prefer one where we could walk to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest hotels to the cruise port are the Comwell Copenhagen, Stay Nordhavn, the Fairfield Inn and the Residence Inn. None are really walkable to the port with any luggage more than a backpack, IMO. Use Google Maps to see for yourself. In your situation, I'd just stay at the airport and have one expensive taxi ride to the port. Hotel rates will also be lower in the airport area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberts2005 Posted July 16 #15 Share Posted July 16 As to where cruise ships dock, if I am not mistaken, don’t some ships dock close to town, but others dock very far outside of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct we’ve had two different disembark locations with Azamara. We found the Crowne Plaza at the airport fully met our needs. We actually stayed a couple of nights there. It was an easy ride into town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are considering staying in Malmo to save money, but near the airport could work, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicNata Posted July 16 #19 Share Posted July 16 We are staying at Urban House Copenhagen by MEININGER Address: Colbjørnsensgade 5-11, Vesterbro very convenient to the station from the airport, Tivoli Gardens and most of the main sites. Three nights costs Euro 500 and includes breakfast. A lot more fun place than a traditional hotel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFej Posted July 16 #20 Share Posted July 16 Thanks so much! We will need two rooms for a few days before and three for at least one day prior. The other two couples have never been to Denmark. All this information is quite helpful. Thanks, @Islay Peat for stating this thread. We will be staying onboard in Dublin, and none of the places I've stayed there really stood out as special, so I can't help. I hope you find something good for you.

Whitby100 Posted July 16 #21 Share Posted July 16 We are looking at the ones connected to the airport so we can just walk over. I understand there may be a train ( not sure if this means a subway/metro/underground) that gets us close to the cruise port. Taxi is another option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare AllisonJames Posted July 17 #22 Share Posted July 17 Last year when we disembarked Journey in Dublin we stayed at the Wilder Townhouse, which is part of Hyatt Hotels as a Mr & Mrs Smith hotel which we have found to be wonderful boutique style hotels with lots of style and personality…this one is in an historic townhouse and we were able to easily walk to St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin Castle etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZiffle Posted July 17 #23 Share Posted July 17 We stayed at the Copenhagen Crowne Plaza Towers hotel. Easy train ride about 3 stops from the airport, and the train station is only 100 yards from the hotel and a level walk on sidewalks. Caught the train into Copenhagen - less than 10 minutes to Tivoli. If you're up to dealing with your luggage, it is possible to use a combination of train and bus to get to the port instead of footing the bill for a taxi. Worst case, take the train as close as you can get to the port and only pay for a short taxi ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitby100 Posted July 17 #24 Share Posted July 17 Thanks for all this. Can someone clarify what the ‘train’ is? We will likely take it plus the bus as FredZiffle suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
