Axel's take: 7.3/10
A useful base with free parking and family facilities, but rooms need modest expectations. A practical suburban 4-star for families and business travelers, scored for what it is.
Scandic Hvidovre is a practical suburban 4-star, better suited to driving trips and local business than a Copenhagen city break on foot. We'd consider it for the free parking, indoor pool and children's activities rather than anything upscale. Expedia guests repeatedly praise the breakfast and helpful staff, while Booking.com's strongest rating is for service. It's a sensible base if you're comfortable taking transport into town.
The rooms are the compromise: standard categories are compact, and several recent guests describe cramped family layouts and tired finishes. Cleanliness is generally rated well, but Tripadvisor reports show some uneven housekeeping and service. Summer guests also report no air conditioning, and stayover cleaning needs requesting. The restaurant closes for Sunday dinner. We'd skip it if spacious rooms, polished four-star comfort or walking straight to Copenhagen's sights are priorities.
