citizenM Copenhagen Radhuspladsen

A very central location means you can walk to a lot, which matters more than fancy hotel facilities on a short family trip.

A broad book selection near the square makes this a useful stop for picture books and something to occupy the flight home.

Rides, gardens, lights and food all in one compact place make this much easier with mixed ages than a giant theme park.

Shrunken heads, strange objects and visual tricks make this better for older kids who enjoy gross and bizarre things.

Directly beside the station and amusement park, which makes arrival days and late nights dramatically simpler with children.

A really easy central option with Tivoli and City Hall Square close by, plus rooms that work for families instead of forcing everyone into separate bookings.
