Scandic Copenhagen: Pre-Cruise Review

The verdict

Scandic Copenhagen is sixteenth, on 23 points with the other city hotels, and it prints the garage price they don't. The Q-Park underground has 160 spaces and 25 EV chargers at DKK 47 (about US$7) an hour or DKK 350 (about US$55) per 24 hours, and our routing puts Oceankaj about 5.7 road miles away.

Check-in is 16:00, later than most of our list, so a morning landing means a few hours with bags. Check-out is noon.

It's 486 rooms on 18 floors by the lakes, with a restaurant Monday to Saturday, a lobby bar, a gym and a sauna. Pet-friendly rooms are available.

Book it if you want the parking price in advance, and plan lunch out if you land early.
