Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers
My son studies in Billund, Denmark, and during the Christmas break, my dad and I flew in to visit him and enjoy a family holiday together. My son flew from Billund to Copenhagen (though we later learned taking the train would’ve been even more convenient), while I arrived directly from overseas. We planned to meet on December 18th at the hotel. However, due to a last-minute change in my flight schedule, I arrived late that day—my son was only 14, so he couldn’t check in alone. I contacted the hotel in advance, and they handled it with great flexibility: they asked for some documentation, we filled out a form, signed it, and sent it back via email. They approved letting my son check in independently. The hotel is just two stops from Copenhagen Airport by train or metro—Orestad Station is right there. What’s great about public transport in Denmark? No matter if you’re on the train or the metro, the fare is flat: 24 DKK for adults, 12 DKK for children, regardless of how many stops you travel. Exit the station, turn left, cross the bridge, and the hotel is the tall building on your right. The lobby feels like a little forest—very unique and welcoming. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, with lots of options. Across the street is Fields shopping mall, packed with dining choices. We went up to the second floor and had dinner at a Thai restaurant—authentic flavors, though prices are noticeably higher than in Asia. Our family stayed in a large double bed room, which worked perfectly since we’d researched ahead: many hotels in Denmark only offer 1.3m or 1.5m beds, which would’ve been too tight for three people. This one had a spacious 1.8m bed—ideal. There’s a Burger King right downstairs, and nearby, the mall has plenty of food spots, plus a big supermarket—super convenient. We stayed five nights, then moved to a self-catering apartment for the next leg of our trip. But this first stay was outstanding—excellent location, thoughtful service, and great value. Highly recommend for families traveling with younger kids.

Eric Vökel Boutique Apartments - Copenhagen Suites
Staying at this boutique apartment was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the city center, with plenty of cafes, shops, and attractions nearby. The apartment itself was immaculate, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom felt like a spa. Check-in and check-out were smooth and quick, with friendly staff making the whole process effortless.

On the Mile 3 - into This Place
Located in a great spot right in the heart of Copenhagen, this place offers easy access to public transit and nearby attractions. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable—perfect for a good night's sleep. However, finding the entrance can be a bit tricky on first visit; clear signage would definitely help. Keep in mind there’s no air conditioning, so if you're visiting during warmer months, bring a fan or pack light layers. Overall, it’s a solid choice for travelers who value location and simplicity, especially if you’re looking for an authentic local vibe without overspending.
Comwell Copenhagen Portside Dolce by Wyndham
The hotel is incredibly convenient for travelers arriving from the airport—just take the light rail, transfer once, and it’s a short walk to the property. The proximity to the ferry terminal is a major plus, especially if you're coming in on a cruise; buying a day pass makes exploring the city even more affordable. While there aren’t many supermarkets or restaurants right nearby, this didn’t bother us since we were mainly using the hotel as a base after docking. One standout feature? Free luggage storage after check-out via a simple smartphone app—super handy for those with late flights or extra travel plans. The room size is modest, so spreading out a 28-inch suitcase requires moving some furniture, but the layout is smart and functional. Overall, the location, ease of access, and thoughtful touches like digital check-out storage make this a top pick for anyone visiting Copenhagen’s port area.
Kings Garden 1 by Daniel&Jacob's
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment—spacious, well-equipped, and incredibly clean. The beds were so comfortable that we barely wanted to get out of them! It's perfectly located for exploring Copenhagen: walking distance to cozy cafes, great restaurants, and the festive Christmas markets made our trip extra special. The neighborhood feels safe and welcoming, with everything you need just steps away. We loved the modern touches and the quiet charm of the place. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a homey yet stylish getaway in the heart of the city.
The Brewer apartments by Daniel&Jacob’s
The location is fantastic—super convenient and just a short walk from the subway. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The only minor issue was figuring out how to operate the shower, which took us a minute, especially after a long flight and jet lag. I’d also suggest relocating the outlets to more accessible spots, though I understand that might not be feasible due to the building’s age. Despite these small quirks, the apartment is well-designed, clean, and offers excellent value for money. The charm of the historic setting really adds to the experience. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a cozy, authentic Copenhagen stay.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel right at home. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and super comfortable—especially the bed, which made for a restful night’s sleep. I was really impressed by the facilities: the gym was well-maintained, the rooftop pool offered stunning views, and the lounge area was perfect for relaxing. Everything about this hotel feels thoughtfully curated—modern, elegant, and genuinely warm. For the quality, service, and convenience, it’s an outstanding value. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Copenhagen, and I’ll definitely be returning.
The Churchill 4 by Daniel&Jacob's
I cannot recommend this place at all. The entire unit had a strong sewer-like odor that was so intense I actually felt nauseous just being there. It was a truly unpleasant experience, and the poor air quality and cleanliness ruined the stay. Definitely not something I'd consider again.

Staying at The Townhouse by Daniel & Jacob was an absolute delight—perfect for a family getaway.

The property itself has such a cozy, local charm—modern yet authentic, with a peaceful atmosphere that made our stay truly relaxing. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free, and the attention to detail really stood out. Whether you're looking to unwind or discover the city, this place hits all the right notes.

Town Hall Apartments by Daniel&Jacob's
Staying at this apartment was a perfect experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the metro and right in the heart of Copenhagen’s vibrant city center. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to fall asleep and wake up refreshed. The apartment itself is thoughtfully designed with everything you’d need for a home away from home—kitchen essentials, laundry facilities, and plenty of storage space. It felt spacious and clean, with modern touches that added to the overall charm. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering local tips that made our trip even better. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this place offers great value and comfort. I’d definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone visiting Copenhagen.
CityHub Copenhagen
Located a bit of a walk from the central station—about 30 minutes on foot, plus another 10 if you're hauling luggage—the price justifies every bit of it. This place is far superior to typical capsule-style accommodations: the sleeping space is spacious enough to comfortably unpack your bags, and the soundproofing is impressive—no noise from guests above at all. Shower stalls are rarely in demand, and having a microwave and oven makes cooking your own meals super easy, saving a lot on dining costs. There’s a large supermarket, Fortax, right in front, plus three 7-Elevens along the way, and countless dining options nearby. The sauna is a real highlight—perfect for unwinding after a long day. Free luggage storage is an added bonus, especially helpful when exploring the city. The front desk staff are polite and always ready to assist, making the entire stay feel welcoming. Overall, this hotel left me with a very positive impression of Copenhagen, and I’d definitely stay here again.
