There are several hotels in the neighbourhood dof Tivoli. These are all "Budget Hotels". Aside from Du Nord, Copenhagen Star Hotel is also here and is accross the road from Du Nord. Nebo Hotel is also down the road but doesnt seem to be as famous!
The hotels are basic, clean and decent. Its convenient as the central train station is just 100 metres away. A 7-eleven is around the corner and you even have a cafe, a bakery, a chinese restaurant and a thai restaurant in the same road.
Du Nord provides coffee making facilities in the room but no iron/board. You probably need dto go to a shared room for that. I never bothered to find out.
The breakfast buffet is inclusive and its a real bargain. A cup of coffee and a danish pastry will set you back about 30 kroner (about USD$5) at the nearby bakery. The buffet comes with various pastries, bread, cheese, ham (pork & beef) and fried bacon strips are aplenty. This probably sets Du Nord apart from Copenhagen Star Hotel.
The room was standard and decent but the pillows were super small! I didnt experience the same pillow sizes at the Bella Sky Comwell Hotel but Copenhagen Star had similar pillows (Ask for extra pillows!).
Service isnt particularly the selling point of Copenhagen. At Du Nord, a friend who travelled last year had meserable service from the reception. However, I had ok service although it bordered on poor. My checkin with a man at the reception was very good and surprised me.
The location is walking distant to a 24hr pharmacy (Steno Apotecary) and tourist info centre. Lots of eateries in tivoli including Copenhagen Hard Rock cafe. The Paul Restaurant had closed down but Herman Restaurant is still around (these are Michelin start restaurants). The Stroeget shopping street is also nearby and walking distance.
All said and done, i would probably get a hotel or a hostel/dorm in city centre in my next trip. Its more convenient and more things to explore. However, if you want the security of a hotel (esp if you have a family/little ones), Du nord is a good choice.
