Copenhagen's HOTTEST New Apartment: Parliament Views! ✨
Okay, strap yourselves in, because I've just spent a week at Copenhagen's "Parliament Views" and folks, let me tell you… it’s an experience and then some. Forget those pristine, robotic reviews – this is the real deal, warts and all, and I’ve got a lot to say. Before I get into the nitty-gritty, let's get the lay of the land, so you can actually find this place: it's new, it's hot (figuratively speaking, of course, although the steam room did get a good sweat going!), and it boasts some seriously impressive views. It's all about the location, location, location in Copenhagen, and this place is right there.
Parliament Views: The Deep Dive - A Messy, Honest Review
Let's Talk Access (and the Quest for the Perfect Croissant)
First things first: Accessibility. Now, I’m not in a wheelchair, but I appreciate good design. The good news is, Parliament Views seems to get this. Elevators are plentiful (thank god for luggage!), and I saw ramps and accessible features throughout the common areas. The website claims wheelchair-accessible rooms. I didn’t check in one, so I can't definitively say, but the effort seems to be there. Important: Always call ahead if you need specific accessibility features. Don't rely on my word.
The Restaurant Tango – (Yes, There Were Croissants!)
Okay, food. This is where things get interesting. They’ve got a TON of options: breakfast buffet, Asian breakfast, Western breakfast (the croissant situation? Strong. It was my personal mission). Restaurants on-site are plentiful. They cater to all tastes, with international cuisine, Asian cuisine, vegetarian options, and even a soup bar! The bar is well-stocked for unwinding. A la carte is an option, but honestly, I spent most mornings inhaling the buffet. The breakfast takeaway service came in handy when I overslept (it happened) – perfect for those bleary-eyed mornings! I'm a big fan of a good coffee/tea in the restaurant. The fact that I could get this in several places was a huge plus. Poolside Bar: Look, it might be Scandinavia, but the pool did exist (more on the pool later!).
The Inner Sanctum (And Wi-Fi Woes?)
Okay, let's delve into the rooms. Available in all rooms: Air conditioning? Check. Alarm clock? Yep. Bathrobes? You betcha. Bathroom phone? Okay, maybe not essential, but a quirky touch. Bathtub? Oh yes. I spent a glorious hour soaking in bubbles watching a Danish drama (don't ask). Blackout curtains? Crucial for resisting the urge to sleep ALL DAY. Coffee/tea maker? Essential for a caffeine addict like myself! Free bottled water? Nice touch. Hair dryer? Thank god! In-room safe box? Peace of mind. Internet access – LAN & wireless? Okay, here’s where it gets… complicated. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms – Yes! Wonderful! But… it cut out on me once or twice. Maybe it got overloaded, and I will give them the benefit of the doubt here. Internet in general was pretty solid other than this hiccup. The laptop workspace was a lifesaver (I actually had some work to do, shockingly). The mini bar was a dangerous temptation. Non-smoking rooms? That's a huge plus. Private bathroom? Obviously. Refrigerator? Yes. Reading light? Absolutely, for that bedtime escapism. Satellite/cable channels? Plenty to choose from. Shower? Perfectly fine. Smoke detector? Always a good thing. Soundproofing? Pretty good! I didn't hear a peep from my neighbors. Wi-Fi [free] (as I said, mostly works… until it doesn't).
The Amenities – Paradise Found (and the Occasional Blip)
Okay, picture this: You’re exhausted from sightseeing, and you wander into… the spa/sauna. They have a fitness center which I tried to use. I did end up using this amazing Sauna. After sweating out my stress in the steamroom, I had a massage. The pool with a view? Yes, it’s as good as it sounds. I spent a good hour just staring at the city. The swimming pool [outdoor] situation, well, it was cold. Still, it's there. The foot bath came in handy after a long day of walking. The Body scrub and Body wrap? I passed, but they’re available. A la carte in restaurant: A really nice aspect, I wish I didn't miss.
Cleanliness and Safety – The Pandemic Era Shuffle
Let’s talk COVID. Parliament Views takes this seriously. They’ve got Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays. The whole operation gives off a vibe of “we care.” Hand sanitizer everywhere. Staff trained in safety protocol. I felt pretty safe.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter
This is where Parliament Views really shines. A concierge who knows everything. Daily housekeeping (bliss). Dry cleaning and laundry service: Game changers. Luggage storage? They've got it. Food delivery? Absolutely. They even had a convenience store for those late-night snack cravings! Currency exchange? Handy. Elevator: Essential. Facilities for disabled guests? As mentioned, appears to be thoughtful efforts. Ironing service? Necessary. Safety deposit boxes? Always a good idea. Smoking area? Appreciated (if you're a smoker, of course!).
For the Kids – Family-Friendly?
Okay, family/child friendly is a definite yes. Although I did not have my kids with me, I noticed a definite attempt at catering to families. I saw kids' meals and kids' facilities. They also offer Babysitting service.
Getting Around – The Copenhagen Shuffle
They do offer airport transfer. They have a car park [free of charge] which is fantastic (parking in Copenhagen can be a nightmare). They’ve got taxi service available. I didn’t need one.
The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Overall Vibe
Look, it's not perfect. The Wi-Fi hiccup was annoying, the outdoor pool was… well, Scandinavian. But the location, the service, the sheer number of amenities, and the overall feeling of being cared for… it's hard to fault.
The Verdict:
Parliament Views? I'd recommend it, and I’d definitely go back. The views are spectacular, and the overall experience is impressive. Yes, it gets the job done and then some.

Unbelievable! This Bougival Aparthotel Will Blow Your Mind!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly-curated travel brochure. This is Copenhagen, baby, but seen with a jaundiced eye, a rumbling stomach, and a healthy dose of "wait, did I leave the oven on?" fear.
The Copenhagen Chaos: A Slightly Over-Planned Adventure (or, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Smørrebrød")
Day 1: Arrival & Architectural Aspirations (and the Great Bike Ride of Doom)
- Morning (Mostly): Touchdown in Copenhagen! Whoa, the airport is… surprisingly efficient. Okay, maybe not that surprising. Still, a victory! Found the train to the city center (thank god for Google Maps, because my Danish is, shall we say, under construction). The train rumbled, the world whizzed by, and I swear I saw a Viking doing the floss on the platform. (Probably just jet lag, sheesh.)
- Mid-Day (ish): Check into the hotel. Newly renovated? Technically. Feels like they’ve just finished painting the walls. Location? Right by the Parliament. Views? Potentially. Noise? Definitely. The construction across the street – well, let's just say my nap attempts sounded like a heavy metal concert in my skull.
- Afternoon: The BIGGEST mistake… I rented a bike! Copenhagen is supposedly a cyclist's paradise. Lies. All lies. First, almost took out a small child near the Round Tower because my (lack of) balance skills are legendary. Then, spent a solid 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get the damn thing to stop at a red light. (Turns out, those coaster brakes are just… stubborn.) I managed to get to Nyhavn (those colorful houses!), and promptly got stuck behind a gaggle of tourists taking selfies. Finally, I gave up and abandoned the bike in a slightly awkward spot. Back to base camp I went.
- Evening: Smørrebrød! This is IT! I devoured some with herring (surprisingly good!), roast beef (heaven!), and… well, I'm not entirely sure what else was on it, but it was delicious! The cafe – a tiny place squeezed between a hipster coffee shop and a very stern-looking cheese shop - was perfect. Overpriced, for sure. But somehow so good. I was so proud of myself, I accidentally ordered a snaps. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a bit like swallowing gasoline.
Day 2: Pastries, Palaces & Persistent Pigeon Problems
- Morning: Sleep! (After a solid dose of earplugs). And then: pastries! A proper, buttery, flaky Danish pastry from a bakery that looked like it hadn't changed since, like, the 1800s. Pure bliss. So good I went back for seconds (and maybe a third, I'm not judging myself).
- Mid-Day: Rosenborg Castle. Okay, wow. That crown jewels room? MIND. BLOWN. I may have spent an embarrassingly long time imagining myself as a queen (with, let's face it, a much better sense of balance on a bike). The gardens were lovely. Then I encountered a particularly aggressive squadron of pigeons. They wanted my pastry crumbs. Let's just say I lost that battle… and maybe my dignity.
- Afternoon (or, the Day Hans Christian Andersen Broke My Heart): The little mermaid statue. Honestly? Underwhelming. Tiny! And surrounded by a swarm of tourists, all vying for the perfect Instagram shot. I get it, it's iconic, but the vibe…. Blech. I needed something to lift my spirits. So I went to the Hans Christian Andersen monument and read some of his work. Got hit with a huge wave of sadness. This guy knew about loss. And beauty. And I'm suddenly weeping in the middle of Copenhagen. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
- Evening: This time, I decided to be a cultured human being. Went to the theatre. The play? In Danish. My Danish? Still "under construction." But the actors were terrific. The setting? Gorgeous. And at some point, I fell asleep and woke up drool (or possibly a little bit of tears) on my shoulder. I didn't understand a word, but I felt something. The magic of theatre. Yay.
Day 3: Canals, Coffee & a Moment of Self-Reflection (Plus, the Saga of the Lost Scarf)
- Morning: Boat tour of the canals. Finally! Something I can enjoy while sitting down and not battling a flock of airborne predators. The architecture is stunning; the way the light hits the water is magical. Honestly, I kinda started to fall in love with the city.
- Mid-Day (ish): Coffee break! (Seriously, the coffee in Copenhagen is amazing.) Found a tiny cafe hidden down a cobbled alleyway. Ordered an actual good flat white, and I am feeling good. Really, really good. As good, in fact, as to forget to scarf I treasured on the bench.
- Afternoon: Christiania! Oh, Christiania. This is… different. I am not going into a long description of my experience, as I am not a journalist. Let's just say it's… unique. I am not usually a big fan of rules. The whole scene was totally the opposite of what I was expecting. I had a good, and quite frankly, fascinating time.
- Evening: Dinner. Tonight I was gonna go fancy. Found a restaurant, with a rating that made it sound promising. It was a mistake. The food was so pretentious, it was practically carbon-negative because it had so little to offer. I left both hungry, and a bit furious. Then I walked the streets. It brought back the magic. I decided to head back to the cafe. And then it hit me. I had lost my scarf. I can't believe myself!
- Night: Back to the Hotel. I am exhausted. Copenhagen, you have my heart and also my wallet. Would I come back? Absolutely. Next time, though, I'm bringing a dictionary. And maybe a helmet. (And I'm looking for that scarf.
The End (For Now – Copenhagen, You've Got a Hold on Me)

Parliament Views: So... Is It ACTUALLY Worth the Hype? (Or Just Another Fancy Instagram Trap?)
Okay, spill the tea. What's the *actual* view from Parliament Views like? Is it as breathtaking as the photos? (Because honestly, I’m skeptical.)
The price tag… Ouch. Is it really worth the rent, especially in Copenhagen? I saw a price... well, it made my wallet cry.
What's the neighborhood like? Is it all tourists and overpriced coffee? (I'm so over that.)
The apartments themselves… what are they *really* like inside? (Are they as stylish as the website suggests?)
Is there a gym? (Because I already know I'm going to need to work off all the pastries I plan to consume.)
The *Real* Test: How's the noise level? I’m a light sleeper, and I need *peace*.
Okay, the BIG question: Would *you* recommend Parliament Views?
