Copenhagen Airport Hostel
Amager Landevej 181

A homey, if a little run down hostel. It is run by two young guys, with downtown just 15 minutes away by the metro which is 30 Kr each way, unless you buy a discount card. Also note that they charge an excessively for renting out linen.

Also has a lovely little garden with tables and free use of old but serviceable bicycles.

Hotel Copenhagen
Egilsgade 33
+45 32 96 27 27
Rooms from 495 Kr

Although this can seem more like a hostel at times, with shared showers and toilets and rather crammed rooms, it is a good price for Copenhagen and there is no curfew, but a doorcode for the door after 11PM. Good staff. There is one computer for internet access.

Zleep Hotel Airport
Englandsvej 333
+45 32 46 46 15

Basic two-star no-frills hotel, that gets the job done if you want to sleep near the airport for a single night at a reasonable price. Prices can get as low as 299 Kr if you book more than 60 days in advance.

Copenhagen Camping
Bachersmindevej 13, Dragør
+45 32 94 20 07

Brand new camping grounds on the southern tip of Amager opened in 2008, within walking distance of a beach.

Finding accommodations on Amager can be a good alternative to the morebusy parts of town, near the central station. There are a few budgetoptions available here, and it is fairly quick and convenient to get to the sights in the city centre, while also being more peaceful and laid back. The options located on the southern part of the island are interesting, with beaches, forests, fields and some historic locations right outside your doorstep — but it also takes you a good 30-40 minutes to get downtown, unless you have your own wheels.

From 2000 Kr

Five star hotel located adjacent to the airport, with all the facilities you'd expect from a Hilton hotel, and very convenient for those arriving after many hours traveling.
