This january I stayed at Strand hotel for two nights. It was the second time I visited the hotel, but this is my first review..
Location: Perfect! Only a short walk to Strøget (main shopping street/area), Nyhavn (dining) and other sights. As the hotel is situated by the sea, you could probably get a great view if your room is facing the coast!
The hotel: If this was in Paris or London I would probably have said something like excellent or superb, however as the hotel is situated in Denmark I would rate this as a perfectly okay/good hotel (- as most hotels in the nordic countries have a high standard). If you are looking for something extraordinary and out of the normal, I would probably look a bit further (or book a suite).
The decor is typically inspired by the sea with mainly blue and yellow neuances. The beds are really comfortable, and the bathrooms are spacious and seem quite newly decorated. Goodgood!
The only downside as I see it was the breakfast. I guess the breakfast was actually really good, but there was not much left when we arrived. In the elevator there was a post that said that the breakfast-room was quite trafficed between 09 am and 10.30 am.. Then how come they do not fill up the trays? No eggs, no bacon and no dessert! I was so looking forward the the Danish pasteries.. :/
All in all I would recommend this hotel to others, but as I said, If your looking for an x-factor, I doubt you'll find it here..

Beware that it is quite cold this time of year and that the wind is super annoying by the sea..
