Budget
Cab Inn City
Efficient budget hotel, but the rooms are small, and more akin to a hostel than a hotel, save the privacy of having your own room and a private - if small - bathroom, but with the bunk beads. Has free Open wireless network.
Hotel Selandia
Central and friendly budget hotel, the top-end rooms are upgraded and in very nice condition, the cheapest ones share bathrooms on every floor, but get's the job done if you just need sleep, and you wake up to a really hearty breakfast buffet in the morning. Friendly and personal service.
Sleep in Fact
Dormitory style hostel in what functions as a public house for the local youth the rest of year, Open June 27 to August 28. But if you are visiting during that time, you will be hard pressed finding anything cheaper save the YMCA listing below
YMCA Interpoint
Open start of July to mid-August, and lends out 36 beds to sleep on, which are usually in high demand, so remember to book ahead. There is curfew between 0.30AM and 7AM, you might want to consider if you plan to part take in the good night-life.
Midrange
Hotel Astoria
Astoria is owned by DGI-byen, and guests get a free pass to the DGI pool and gym, no smoking
First Hotel Vesterbro
Good location, and the lobby area is well designed, but rooms a rather on the small side, and some rooms are reported to begin showing obvious signs of wear and tear, but otherwise clean.
Hotel Centrum
Near the central station, have some good value deals from time to time, , free wired internet and friendly staff, but rooms are a little on the spartan side. Entry to the Swim Centre and the Gym of DGI byen is free for all hotel guest
Hotel Løven
clean, secure with commune kitchen area. Breakfast not included. Also, you might be disappointed with the suggested breakfast cafe, so you're probably better off going to one of the many buffets around the center.
Hotel Nebo
A two star hotel run by a Christian charity, offering basic but clean single, double, and family rooms right behind the central station - can sometimes get a bit noisy, but the staff is usually a friendly lot. Free internet, and breakfast included.
Hotel Ansgar
Basic hotel in the lower end of the Copenhagen price range, right behind the central station. Small rooms, but you can sometimes get substantial discounts, to make it worthwhile if you just need a bed. Free wireless internet. All rooms are non-smoking.
Savoy
Good value money. Excellent location in a beautiful Art Nouveau building, but don't get too worked up over exteriors as the rooms are very basic, but still clean and totally adequate if you just need a bed, service is reported to be good.
Absalon Annex
Two blocks from the Central Station, communal shower and toilet facilities. Complimentary breakfast, on-site laundry.
Top end
Axel Hotel Guldsmeden
Central hotel in traditional Balinese style with real modern art, teak beds and small balconies, informal and organic approach to doing business. Also has a small cosy courtyard garden and bar and a fantastic Balinese style spa.
Copenhagen Island
Newly build 4 Star hotel located on its own artificial island in the harbour - hence the name - which apart from some exceptions, gives you good views from the room. Stylish interiors and good service. And one of Copenhagen's largest shopping centers right next door.
Aside from hostels, taking on from other major European cities, the area behind the Central station away from downtown and Tivoli, is where you find the city's cheapest hotel accommodation. It has a reputation for being a bit rough, but in Denmark that isn't saying much, although you may bump into the odd drug addict or desperate hooker at night time. Apart from any psychological discomfort you personally may get from such encounters, it shouldn't cause you any trouble - indeed a number of high quality hotels are located here, which should give you an indication of the severity of the problem. If you want to take extra care avoiding the above personalities, walking to your hotel from Vesterbrogade instead of Istedgade should steer your clear of them altogether.
City Camp
This centrally located campground is open May-August both inclusive, but unfortunately doesn't allow tents - which means campers and caravans only.
