Reviews
I absolutely loooved my stay here. The staff were incredibly nice, the room was huge, fully equipped with everything I could have needed - they even welcomed me with a cookie after my late flight!! And breakfast was fantastic and very fairly priced. I will be returning here whenever I come back to Copenhagen
I'm a returning guest, my fourth time. I always love staying at Kanalhuset and inmerse myself in the Christianshavn's vive. I cannot recommend it enough. Looking forward to coming back.
You can book social dinner at hotel, where a group of people share big plates of food. When I saw the menu I was a bit disappointed (the main dish is fried potato pancakes) but it turned out to be very delicious and filling. The portion is big! We waited quite long for the food but since it has a social purpose I guess it makes sense.
I spent two nights at the end of January 2026 with my daughter in a suite in this very pleasant hotel/restaurant in Christianshavn on one of the canals of southern central Copenhagen. It was beautifully furnished with traditional Danish 1950-1960 pieces and featured all the equipment needed to spend longer times here, like washing machine, dryer, cooking stove, large fridge with freezer and lots of room for your clothes. Beds were excellent and the hygiene section up to the overall standards. My only critique is that a long shoe horn, so useful for older folks is missing. You check in and out in the bar which has computer interdiction to the benefit of all the visitors that you will meet the hour before the common dinner is served where you share tables and menu with the other guests. Breakfast is à la carte and relatively expensive, at least compared to the rest of the western European continent. Parking is on the street, best using one of the common parking apps. Like the breakfast, we found it expensive even compared to other capitals like Berlin. Overall, an excellent experience!
