What guests like and what they don’t
Pros
- Central Vesterbro location within walking distance of the central station and Tivoli Gardens (The Telegraph, TripAdvisor).
- Stylish, comfortable rooms with Parisian-inspired decor (The Times, Condé Nast Traveler).
- The breakfast pastries and baked goods are consistently praised across reviews (TripAdvisor UK, Restless Feet, Expedia).
- Coco Café doubles as a cozy bar in the evening, noted as a guest favourite (TripAdvisor).
Cons
- Breakfast is a cold-focused buffet; the Telegraph calls it a “limited but attractively presented cold buffet” (The Telegraph). Multiple guests describe it as repetitive and lacking hot items (TripAdvisor Hong Kong).
- On busy mornings, items can run out and replenishment may be slow; one November 2024 guest reported an “appalling” near‑empty buffer at 09:40 (TripAdvisor).
- Only instant decaf coffee is offered, which several guests consider inconsistent with the hotel’s quality positioning (TripAdvisor Hong Kong).
- Breakfast moves off‑site to Delphine in winter; some guests found the walk less convenient, especially in rain (TripAdvisor UK).
Best for
Couples – the intimate, stylish lobby and bar create a relaxed evening atmosphere.
Business travellers – the central location and early breakfast hours work well for work trips.
Solo travellers – the café‑bar and courtyard offer comfortable spaces to unwind.
Eco‑conscious travellers – the Nordic emphasis on organic and locally sourced ingredients aligns with lighter footprint concepts.
Our pick
If you value a central location, stylish design, and a café‑centric vibe, and you’re happy with a lighter Nordic breakfast, Coco Hotel is a strong choice. If a hot, varied breakfast is a priority, you may prefer a hotel with a full cooked buffet.
What is breakfast at the Coco Hotel Copenhagen?
The hotel’s breakfast is built around a “Scandinavian take on the Petit Déjeuner,” as its own site puts it. That means a cold buffet centred on freshly baked pastries, good coffee, organic breads, cheese, cold cuts, yoghurt, fruit, and boiled eggs. In summer it’s served on‑site in Café Coco, with tables spilling into a leafy courtyard; from autumn to spring it moves across the road to the sister restaurant Delphine.
Breakfast offerings
Editorial reviews paint a consistent picture: The Times describes a “substantial breakfast buffet” that includes yogurt, fruits, granola, cold cuts, eggs and fresh breads. The Telegraph calls it “a limited but attractively presented cold buffet” with pains au chocolat, chia porridge, avocado and cheese. A 2026 travel blog reported seeing cereals, chia pudding, rye breads, boiled eggs, a small selection of cheese and charcuterie, avocado segments, hummus and excellent pastries (Restless Feet). Cherie City’s 2023 review described an organic buffet at Delphine with freshly baked breads, flaky pastries, Danish cured meats, soft‑boiled eggs and pomegranate‑coconut chia pudding (Cherie City).
Guest reviews on TripAdvisor repeatedly praise the quality of the pastries but note that the buffet can feel repetitive and that hot options are limited to boiled eggs. The only decaf coffee available is instant, a complaint that appears across multiple reviews.
“A simple but high‑quality breakfast—just don’t expect a fry‑up.”
— Cherie City, March 2023
Breakfast price range
When breakfast is not included in the room rate, the adult buffet is priced at DKK 235 per person (about €31) and children at DKK 95, according to Expedia. The Telegraph notes that some bookings include breakfast, and double rooms start at around DKK 1,000 in low season and DKK 1,200 in high season. For comparison, a typical Copenhagen breakfast costs around DKK 110–150, so the hotel’s buffet sits at the higher end. The trade‑off is a curated Nordic spread rather than a large hot buffet.
Price band summary: Room rates from about €107 per night (Kayak). Breakfast adds DKK 235 per adult. If breakfast is important, look for rate packages that include it.
How far is Coco Hotel from the airport?
Coco Hotel sits on Vesterbrogade, about a five‑minute walk from Copenhagen Central Station (The Telegraph). From central station, direct trains reach Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) in approximately 15 minutes, running every few minutes.
Distance and transit options
By foot to central station: 400 m / about 5 min. Train station to airport: 15 min (Øresundstog or Metro). Taxi to airport: around 25–30 min, depending on traffic. The hotel’s proximity to the station makes it one of the more convenient boutique hotels for early flights or late arrivals.
What is the best part of Copenhagen to stay in?
Vesterbro, where Coco Hotel is located, is one of Copenhagen’s most central and dynamic districts. It sits just west of the central station and Tivoli Gardens, with Strøget shopping street a 10–15 minute walk away. The area is known for its mix of hip cafes, vintage shops, and a lively food scene.
Vesterbro neighbourhood character
Reviewers consistently describe Vesterbro as convenient, walkable, and full of local life. Suitcase Magazine notes that the hotel’s courtyard and café blend seamlessly into the neighbourhood vibe. TripAdvisor summaries highlight that guests appreciate being able to walk to most attractions. For first‑time visitors, Vesterbro offers a central base that feels more residential and less tourist‑packed than Indre By.
Alternatives to Coco Hotel
If Coco Hotel is fully booked or you want a different personality, consider its sister property Hotel Bella Grande, also in Vesterbro, which offers a slightly more ornate, classic style. For a budget‑friendly choice with a similar central location, the MEININGER Hotel Copenhagen Review provides hostel‑style accommodation with private rooms. Other Vesterbro boutique options include Hotel SP34 and Andersen Boutique Hotel, though they follow different design concepts.
Note on seasonal change: Because Coco Hotel’s breakfast moves to Delphine in winter, guests staying in colder months should factor in the short outdoor walk when wearing wet or snowy footwear.
