The hotel is well situated just 100m from the central station. The train from the airport to the central station is just 12 minutes, so really easy to reach - we used the train to return to the airport. Through Booking.com a taxi was arranged for our arrival. The driver sent me a WhatsApp with his details / photo of the taxi, so really easy to find him. The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are fantastic and freshly cooked, with some great homemade drinks, such as the ginger lemonade. The walk to the main tourist area is just over 5 minutes, with most of the main attractions no more than a 25 minute walk from the hotel. The old "meat packing zone" is a 10 minute walk from the hotel. This has been converted into bars and very good restaurants. Allow a generous budget to eat here but worth it.

On balance, I think that the "Very Good" (8.5) rating is about right. As others have noted, it is in a very convenient location (e.g., very close to the Central Train Station and within walking distance of many attractions), albeit not the most attractive area in Copenhagen; the staff was very friendly and efficient; the Superior King room was clean (but extremely small- apparently consistent with other hotel rooms in Copenhagen from what I have read- and lacking a bureau or proper closet). Overall, I would definitely consider staying there again if in Copenhagen on a short term basis.

As others have noted, although the interior rooms that look out into the courtyard might normally be quiet, while we were there in September 2023 construction was taking place in the courtyard starting at 7:00 am. Indeed, one night they were working at around 10:00 pm (22:00) for a while! In addition, be aware that the view of the courtyard is extremely unattractive- even aside from the construction activity- due to the fact that there are large dumpsters with cans and rubbish sticking out, and people use it as a smoking area at times.

A beautiful hotel. Stylish, clean, a superb comfy bed and you could just about throw a party in the generously proportioned shower space! Loved the central location and the views.

Just prior to checking out, I discovered that all of my money had been stolen out of my bag. I am very security conscious, and the amount stolen was significant, so it was quite a shock. I don't know if it happened in the hotel, but what was a bit hard to take is that when I mentioned what had happened to the staff at the front desk when I checked out, they really didn't seem to care. It was pretty much a blank stare, present me with my hotel bill, and then send me on my way. That was distressing and significantly impacted what was otherwise a lovely stay.

Place is nice, location is fine as well, pretty close to the city center

The room is pretty small, although we booked bigger room and not the basic one. No slippers which is weird:( The housekeeping service was very slow, I mean the cleaners were planning to go to the room around 2-3 pm which is not so comfortable, so we were just asking to bring some things to the room without cleaning. The roof is not that cool as it was advertised at all… a very small corner with BAR and thats it, also it is closed in the morning and in the late evening, because its operate only as a bar, so you cannot just have a sit and chill by your own.

I had a fantastic stay at Gran Joanne—a beautifully designed hotel in a great location for exploring Copenhagen. The room was very comfortable, with stylish decor. Beyond the aesthetics, what truly set this stay apart was the outstanding service. Unfortunately, I fell ill during the trip, but the staff went above and beyond, delivering electrolytes and food in the early hours of the morning to help me recover. Their kindness and attentiveness made all the difference, and I’m incredibly grateful. The hotel also boasts great amenities—the gym was well-equipped, and the bar had a fantastic atmosphere with excellent drinks. Whether you’re looking for comfort, style, or top-tier service, Gran Joanne delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend, and would definitely stay again!

the room was spacious, comfortable and nice. the breakfast was delicious as well (specifically the a la carte items were delicious). the location was great, it's right next to the train station and you can basically walk everywhere as well. i haven't had the chance to use the gym but knowing that it is open 24/7 was good.

the water tap. in order to get warm water, you need to turn it to the very end, which was a bit frustrating at times and causing to waste a bit of water. also the breakfast buffet could be improved, especially on the sweeter side. the cold cuts and cheese were plenty though.

This is a new hotel with a very friendly vibe, the ambience throughout is very chilled. There is a really nice bar area which is important if you are travelling alone. When I stayed the weather was good and the addition of the rooftop bar really was fantastic. The location is excellent especially if you are looking for a quick and easy walk from the main train station.

The real issue I had was that the WiFi was an open network and there was no security wall attached to it and subsequently my laptop would not connect. This caused me lots of problems as I was travelling on business.

Room and bed were comfortable. Nice natural light but also room-darkening curtains. Water pressure in bathroom was excellent (although it was necessary to read written instructions in the room to figure out how to get hot water in the sink!). Location is a short walk from the train station, Metro, a good small bakery, multiple bars and several ethnic restaurants. The neighborhood is a little grittier than swanky, touristy parts of town like Nyhavn but felt safe and convenient to everything.

We didn’t appreciate that the room we were given initially upon check-in appeared to be if a lower standard than what we had booked—smaller, only one window, looking out on a dreary inner courtyard and with the gabled roof further cutting into space in the room. We immediately returned to reception and were able to secure a room that looked like the one on the Booking website, but this negatively affected our view of the hotel and the staff member at Reception. Oh, there’s no fridge/minibar, which didn’t matter to us, but might to some. And only instant coffee packets with a kettle, no coffee maker.

The Grand Joanne location is just right, very close to the train station. The hotel is well renovated, the staff friendly and attentive. The room and beds are super comfortable and lastly the roof top bar was great for a late night drink and watch the sunset well after 10pm.

The lack of air conditioning in most hotels needs to be address, the Grand Joanne does have room fan ventilations.

I really liked my stay here at Joanne. The staff were very friendly and helpful whenever I needed something. My room was cleaned everyday and the products given were lovely too. There body wash smelt so lovely! They also provide, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, hand lotion, tooth brush and tooth paste, hair dryer and steamer. Very thought through, although you are paying the price for it. The interior is very beautifully designed and the hotel itself is a very central location. Less than 5 mins walk to the metro station, walking distance of tivoli gardens and strøget high street with the shops. Very convenient for me as a solo traveller, I felt very safe!

One thing about the property is that because it is so central and nice that I am paying the price for it. But I’m not sure that is really a complaint 🤣
