What are people saying about the Coco Hotel in Copenhagen?

Award-winning boutique hotel

Coco Hotel has been named one of the best hotels in Scandinavia for five consecutive years by both Travel+Leisure and Condé Nast, according to its official website. The MICHELIN Guide calls the property “a masterclass in eclectic charm,” while The Times describes it as “the affordable Copenhagen bolt hole with style and spirit in spades.” The hotel also holds Green Key certification and states on its sustainability page that it maintains an environmental policy covering energy and water saving, organic linens, recycling, and waste reduction.

Guest reviews and ratings

Reviewers across travel publications consistently highlight the hotel’s Vesterbro location, eclectic design, and courtyard atmosphere. The Times notes that courtyard-facing rooms are quieter than street-facing rooms, particularly after the café closes at 22:30. The Telegraph reports a daily complimentary wine hour, a feature that appears in multiple editorial reviews.

One pattern across reviews: guests value the social café-and-courtyard setting more than traditional hotel amenities. The Times points out that the amenity set is relatively limited compared with full-service hotels — there is no fitness centre, spa, or room service — and that street-facing rooms can be exposed to neighbourhood noise.

How far is Coco Hotel from the airport?

Location in Vesterbro

The hotel sits at Vesterbrogade 41 in the Vesterbro district, approximately 1640 ft from Copenhagen Central Station and 2133 ft from Tivoli Gardens, according to VisitCopenhagen. Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) is roughly 8 km south-east; the journey by train from the airport to Central Station takes about 15 minutes, followed by a 5-minute walk.

Nearby landmarks

Beyond Tivoli Gardens and City Hall Square, the hotel is within walking distance of the Meatpacking District (Kødbyen), known for its restaurants and galleries, and the shopping street Strøget. Expedia notes the hotel’s proximity to Tivoli and City Hall Square. The MICHELIN Guide listing confirms public parking nearby at DKK 196 per day.

How many rooms are in Coco Hotel?

Room types and features

The hotel’s about page states 89 rooms, arranged around a leafy green courtyard in a classic Copenhagen-style building that was renovated in 2019 with energy- and water-saving solutions, per VisitCopenhagen. The Times highlights compact singles, spacious top-floor suites, and rooms with skylights, while the Telegraph notes individually decorated rooms ranging from compact singles to larger junior suites.

Room features vary by category but may include minibars, LED lighting, recycling features, heated bathroom floors, and phones, according to Expedia. Some listings describe rooms as compact — particularly the singles — which suits short city breaks rather than extended stays. The MICHELIN Guide reports that children up to age three can use a cot for DKK 100 per stay, with no extra beds available.

Is breakfast included at Coco Hotel?

Breakfast is available at the hotel, served in the Coco Café space, but inclusion depends on the rate booked. The hotel’s website and third-party listings do not consistently state that breakfast is included in the base rate; travellers should confirm when booking. VisitCopenhagen reports that the café primarily offers organic products.

Coco hotel copenhagen restaurant

The hotel belongs to Cofoco, a Copenhagen food collective that operates a network of restaurants focused on seasonality and sustainability, according to the MICHELIN Guide. Grazia Magazine reports that guests receive priority access and discounts at 18 Cofoco restaurants — a benefit that sets the property apart from most boutique hotels in the city.

Coco hotel copenhagen bar

The Coco Café and bar function as a central social space for hotel guests, locals, and visitors. The café operates until 22:30, after which the courtyard-facing rooms become quieter, as The Times notes. The Telegraph reports a daily complimentary wine hour, which adds to the social atmosphere.

Location and getting there

Coco Hotel is at Vesterbrogade 41, 1620 Copenhagen V, confirmed by VisitCopenhagen. The nearest train station is Copenhagen Central Station (København H), a 5-minute walk east. From Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup), regional trains run every 10–15 minutes to Central Station; the journey takes about 15 minutes. Tivoli Gardens is a 7-minute walk. The Meatpacking District (Kødbyen) with its restaurants and galleries is roughly 10 minutes on foot. Nearby parking costs DKK 196 per day, according to the MICHELIN Guide.

Alternatives in Copenhagen

Travellers considering Coco Hotel may also evaluate Villa Copenhagen and 1 Hotel Copenhagen. Villa Copenhagen, a historic former postal building converted into a design hotel near Central Station, offers a larger amenity set including a rooftop pool, fitness centre, and multiple dining outlets, but at a higher price point and with less emphasis on sustainability. 1 Hotel Copenhagen, part of the nature-focused 1 Hotels brand, shares Coco’s eco-positioning but operates on a larger scale with a spa, farm-to-table restaurant, and 238 rooms. Both properties sit within a 10-minute walk of Coco Hotel, making them practical alternatives for travellers who want similar neighbourhood access with different trade-offs between amenities, sustainability depth, and price.
