The 137-room, mid-range Hotel Neptune is located in central Copenhagen near the waterfront and just a four-minute walk from the popular Nyhaven area. Guests rave about Hotel Neptune’s proximity to the sights, and those who don’t mind a 20-minute walk may never need to use the nearby public transportation after their arrival. The hotel’s decor is simple but tasteful, with a stylish atrium-style lounge and rooms that are tiny but comparable in size to other mid-range hotels. What extra frills the hotel offers, such as Wi-Fi and a breakfast buffet, generally cost extra. Guests should note that construction work on the street outside of the hotel is noisy during the week and will continue into 2016. Those looking for a few more amenities may want to try the nearby Copenhagen Admiral Hotel, which has an acclaimed on-site bar and restaurant plus free Wi-Fi.

Scene
Tasteful but limited decor with a charming central atrium
Back in 1851, when this hotel was established and used as an illegal hideout for outlaws, the password “Neptune” would grant you entry. Today, the modern Hotel Neptune is located in the same white building and is now frequented by sightseers, tourists, and business travelers. Set in a white building with an entrance flanked by Danish flags, the Hotel Neptune blends in easily with the rest of the block. Inside, the entry and reception areas are largely basic but tasteful, with white walls, tiled floors, and Persian rugs, while hallways through the hotel are narrow and feature generic hotel carpeting. The highlight of the common spaces is the stylish lounge, located in a sunlit atrium at the center of the building, with suspended hanging lights, a tiled floor adorned with a Persian rug, plants, and sitting areas. Charming awnings and planters hang from guest bedroom windows that face the atrium. This room, along with a dedicated dining area, serve as a breakfast area during morning hours, so it can be overrun with guests.
Location
Centrally located, a four-minute walk to Nyhaven with easy access to Copenhagen's hotspots
The Hotel Neptune is ideally located in central Copenhagen about one block from the water, and it's in easy walking distance to a plethora of cafes, restaurants, and tourist attractions. Bus stops and the Kongens Nytorv St. Metro are under 10 minutes away on foot, but the Hotel Neptune's location is so central to Copenhagen hotspots that travelers willing to walk up to 20 minutes may never need to use public transportation to reach attractions. Most guests’ only complaint about the Hotel Neptune’s location is the noisy street construction, which is going on right outside of the hotel and will continue into 2016.
Rooms
Small but tasteful rooms with basic amenities
Rooms are basic but tasteful with a wallpapered accent wall, long drapes, and modern pops of color like velvety lime-green pillows or bright purple curtains. Standard Single Rooms and Small Double Rooms are tiny and mostly just have space to sleep, though this is typical of mid-range Copenhagen hotels. Bathrooms are basic with white tiled walls, a wet-room style shower, and wall-mounted pumps in lieu of individual toiletries. Some of the larger rooms contain a small sitting area and a bathtub, while all rooms have a flat-screen TV, desk, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, safe, and minibar. Few rooms have air-conditioning or in-room coffee service, and the Wi-Fi costs extra, though guests say the connection is strong throughout the hotel.
Light sleepers should bring earplugs -- the most frequent complaint from guests is the noise-level, which can come from the atrium-style lobby for those in interior rooms and from the construction going on outside during the weekdays in street-facing rooms.
Features
Indoor and outdoor sitting areas and an extensive breakfast buffet for an extra fee
The Hotel Neptune offers several stylish common areas including an atrium-style lounge at the center of the hotel and an outdoor roof terrace, which is sparse and lacks views, but has a few wicker-chaired seating areas for enjoying the weather.
The hotel's simple but modern breakfast room has wood-beam ceilings, wooden floors, and sconce lighting. The Scandinavian-style breakfast buffet costs extra, but it's all organic with a generous selection of fruit, bread, cold cuts, cereal, cheese, and more -- though the highlight is the fresh-squeezed orange juice you can make yourself. This dining area also serves coffee, tea, and light snacks for free in the early afternoon, and free newspapers are available in the common areas on weekdays. There are also two computers in the lobby for guest use.
Other amenities have an extra fee, including Wi-Fi, copying and faxing services, room service, laundry service, and on-site bike rentals.
