Copenhagen: Where to Stay for Every Budget
Places to Stay
Airbnb:
Located on the third floor of an apartment building in downtown Copenhagen, this Airbnb offers a spacious floor plan with lots of windows, views of the city and fun decor. I really enjoyed the funky, contemporary art work this space had to offer and large kitchen which allowed me to cook breakfast for my family. The apartment was located near dozens of restaurants, convenient stores, bars and shopping areas to explore. Tivoli gardens was right around the corner and the train station was about a 7 min walk away.
The apartment features 1 master bedroom, 1 guest bedroom and a large sectional sofa for guests to sleep on. You could comfortable fit up to 6 people in this spacious apartment. There was 1 bathroom which had a jacuzzi tub, separate shower, small sink and an indoor washer and dryer unit. Fast wifi and a tv with lots of English speaking channels was a nice touch.
Average Price Per Night: $260
Axel Guldsmeden Hotel:
Located in Copenhagen's Red Light District, which isn't as seedy as it sounds, this charming boutique hotel was quite the gem. The Axel Guldsmeden Hotel was about a 5 min walk from Copenhagen's Central Train Station and featured very trendy, upscale bohemian decor. Our room was fairly small but cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated. I really enjoyed the simple touches with pops of color and modern vintage objects placed throughout the room. There was a really nice shower and large stone sink in the bathroom which you can see down below.
I highly recommend checking out the restaurant attached to the hotel, Café Du Norde which you can read all about in my previous post HERE.
Average Price Per Night with Two Twin Beds: $216
Hotel Bethel:
Located right across the street from the picturesque houses of Nyhaven, Hotel Bethel offers the perfect setting to watch a Copenhagen sunrise or sunset. We stayed in a small room facing the courtyard, the hotel beds were a bit on the stiff side but adequate. There was also a small shower, sink and blowdryer which was all functional but nothing special. My favorite part of Hotel Bethel was that breakfast included with our stay. There was a nice selection of pastries, cheese, meats and other breakfast items to chose from. Free coffee and tea was offered 24 hrs a day. The staff were also very helpful and the bus stop was located right outside which took you to all the famous museums.
Average Price Per Night with Two Twin Beds: $165
Copenhagen Downtown Hostel:
I'm so glad we decided to go with the private room during our stay here, it offered a much quieter setting and we even had our own bathroom/shower combo. I should mention that the shower head was right above the toilet and sink area which I had never seen before. Moving on, the bunk beds were fairly comfortable and they had just put fresh sheets on for us when we arrived. You can't tell from the photos but I stayed on the top bunk which was quite high up from the ground. Make sure you don't fall off or it's a hard fall. Each private room had a theme, ours was a green tropical vibe which reminded me of Hawaii. Across the hallway was a John Travolta themed room which was funny and bizarre, are Danes into him? Someone please clarify.
The hostel offered free dinner which is served on first come basis, and the food goes pretty quickly here so get here early! I really enjoyed the nighttime scene which gave me a chance to mix and mingle with other travels from abroad. The bar had good cheap prices for Copenhagen standards, daily happy hours, was open till 4AM on the weekend and run by friendly staff members. There was also a nice big lounge for guests to hang out in.
During the morning, you can a purchase a pass for about $10 which gives you access to the breakfast bar. I'd recommend trying it out if you're on a budget and in need of some good food. The hostel also offered free wifi, walking tours of the city, and daily activities to meet other travelers.
Average Price Per Night for Private Room: $120
