The Socialist, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

The food was delicious. Unique menu selection and the service was consistently good.

Convenient location would stay here again.

The hotel has a regular weekend DJ who plays until after midnight on weekends. We had no idea this was the case or would have stayed elsewhere. We requested a quiet room upon making the reservation, and instead got a room that is so close to the DJ that the walls are shaking from the noise as I type this. Truly nightmarish. There are no phones in the rooms, so to complain you have to actually go downstairs??? Don't stay here if you want a good night's sleep.

I love Copenhagen and am always looking for new hidden gems and better ways of experiencing the city. I found this boutique hotel in a conventional way - on the Marriott Bon Voy app - which surprised and delighted me as it meant points as well! It's a cool offering - a bit over a hundred meters from the Kongens Nytorv Metro (straight to the airport), two hundred meters from the Nyhavn canal, and an equal distance from all the great shopping and Christianborg Slot so you get tge idea, it's in the middle of everything. However, due to its position, it's not on a street that gets tons of foot traffic, so it's very quiet. The reception is in the bar, so don't be confused when you think you are being checked in by the maître d' ! The bar sits on the ground floor foyer, breakfast and dining up a half floor in a cute room that seats only about 20. A bona fidevwine cellar with great selections. There is an outdoor chill area with pillow seating when the weather is nice (take your room card, the door locks!). Rooms are smallish but not by Copenhagen standards. Well-appointed with desk, USB plugs, and a king-size bed in my room. Shower no bath. There is no mini bar, but they offer a small selection of snacks and drinks. Fast and free wifi. Bed was very comfy, and there was no street noise. Neat trick of hiding the flat screen behind the curtain. TV channel selection is a bit sp****, but all the app and streaming hookups are there, so it doesn't matter. Service is superb, from the front desk to breakfast. Young friendly and knowledgeable staff. Parking is available across the road in a garage. Well priced for the city. This hotel is a gem and a real find. Great for business travelers, but also for first-time Explorers of the city.

Very nice boutique hotel (31 rooms only) in the middle of the shopping district and tourist attractions. We were lucky to get an upgrade based on Bonvoy status. Rooms were very cosy and quiet. Service at breakfast was very friendly though quite slow

Absolutely horrendous service. Staff does not clean up anything for hours and hours in the lobby. Out of coffee at breakfast, you have to practically go to the kitchen to get someone. Very shortstaffed and looks worse than a youth hostel…. Online reviews were most definitely deceiving.. the only good thing that was positive is 1) receptionist 2) bed 3) location and that’s about it. Not worth the money can get way better options.

If you're 20 years old and enjoy the thumping sound of techno music in your room until past midnight, courtesy of the nightly DJ in the hotel's lobby/club, then you'll like The Socialist. But don't count on getting any sleep. It's a small property and there's no escaping the sound. The hotel staff are either badly misinformed about the music policies when you ask them, or deliberately obfuscating the issue. The Socialist needs to decide whether it wants to be a techno club or a hotel because it can't do both. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel, despite the good location.

My husband and I traveled in September 2023, stayed two nights as Platinum members. We had used two of our Suite Night Awards and was notified 4 days prior of our upgrade so we were initially excited for stay - the suite was supposed to have an outdoor terrace which we we're really looking forward to. With prices of hotels in general in Copenhagen, we had booked a regular room for around $350/night, and after reading the bad reviews we were thankful for the suite upgrade hoping it would make it worth the money (many of the bad reviews were regarding room size, so we thought we dodged a bullet) We arrive a little after 2pm, after walking from the metro station. We were told our room was not available because they had platinum members who had a late check-out; no problem - we stored our luggage and walked around a bit. We came back at 4pm and our room was ready (luggage was not brought to the room which would have been a nice touch) - when we entered our "suite" it was not the suite we had been promised, it was a weird two floor loft, no balcony/outdoor space. Small bathroom without tub - it looked weirdly out of the 70s with wall to wall carpet. We quickly learned that the walls to the outside are not sound proof, even on the 5th floor - voices, garbage, bottles, we could hear everything. When you walk in, reception isn't visible - only a sterile looking concrete bar in the middle of the room. No one greeted us. I had to ask the "bartender?" where reception was - she pointed to a small desk behind a huge pillar, not visible when walking through the door. Breakfast that was included in our room rate was just okay. Both mornings when we went down, service was extremely poor and workers seemed extremely disorganized - the first morning we finished our meal before our coffees came. The wait time was absurd. The second morning I asked my husband to go down and order our breakfast while I walked ten minutes to Anderson & Maillard to pick up pastries and by the time I got back our table was still empty. We had a late flight (5pm) our last day, so we asked for late check-out and we're told no... that they needed time to clean the room. I was sort of taken aback by this because we, ourselves, couldn't check-in at 2pm given a late check-out when we first arrived. Plus, it's supposed to be guaranteed by Tribute Portfolio hotels for status members but apparently they don't honor that. We asked for an extra half hour, so we had to be out by 12:30pm ET. The bathroom shower didn't drain and is "curbless" so water flooded the entire bathroom every time; we couldn't take back to back showers, instead having to wait until the water went down beforehand. Service was absolutely terrible for the amount of money they charge. It felt like they (the hotel and the workers) want to be this very edgy, hip place but fail to remedy the basics of customer service and the hospitality industry. We were glad to check-out and move onto our next destination, which says a

They cancelled my reservation as they were overbooked! I think there is no need to say much. I visited more than 40 countries; stayed in hundreds of hotels and never experienced such a horrible customer service. Just a casual email. "Nothing we can do as we are overbooked."
