Breakfast used to be included at this and all Scandic hotels. It was excellent.
Now they charge DKK 180 / USD 28 / EUR 24 / GBP 21 per person per day.
Hotel still good but now I will look for alternatives when coming to Copenhagen.
Nice hotel
Centrally located
Pleasant staff
Used to have a wonderful breakfast included but now they charge DKK 180 per person per day (USD 28 / GBP 21 / EUR 24) which will certainly influence my choice of hotel in Copenhagen next time.
The excuse “other hotels charge for breakfast” removes their advantage. Well played Scandic Hotels.

Good hotel in excellent location
The hotel is good and in an excellent location. The room was very spacious and the breakfast was very nice.
The lobby area is however very tiny and the two elevators are questionable. One of them is super tiny so you can’t be claustrophobic if you want to use that one….
