tonydennis Posted May 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi folks, I've narrowed my choice to two relatively new budget hotels in Copenhagen by the Wake Up Copenhagen chain for three nights before my cruise and wondered if someone can help me decide which location? One is in Borgergade (near the little Mermaid) and the other is in Carsten Nieburhs Gade near the central station. They are both incredibly reasonable for Copenhagen (tiny capsule hotel rooms) at about $150 per night in June. The Borgergade hotel is only one month old. The other one is five years old. Here is the link: https://www.wakeupcopenhagen.com/location/map/#/search thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted May 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The hotel in Borgergade is located in the same area as Amalienborg, Rosenborg, Nyhavn etc. The Little Mermaid is a little bit further away but still walkable. The other hotel is located at a former railyard and is a part of the Tivoli Congress Center. Its a little bit of the beaten path but bus 11A runs all the time.

SparkleBee Posted May 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I would not stay by Little Mermaid, it's out of the way. We stayed by Central Station... the location was fabulous, although a bit of a seedy element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonydennis Posted May 28, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks for your replies Sparklebee and Danish Viking for the Central Station location I was just a little concerned that the reviews said there was nothing surrounding it and no cafes or restaurants, although Tivoli is only a 15 minute walk. On the other hand the Little Mermaid location seemed like a real neighborhood but maybe far from the mainstream action of Central station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkleBee Posted May 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2014 actually, Tivoli is much less than a 15 minute walk, it's right across the street. we stayed right behind Central Station and found that ideal when it was time to go to the airport... just walked out of the hotel and basically right onto the train! Tivoli is extremely close to this location too. problem, as I mentioned, some seedy people hanging around the station, but once you get a block off it's not an issue. on the front end of my trip I stayed at Hotel Opera in Kongens Nytorv area. that was an amazing location, however I paid $277 per night for a tiny room.

tonydennis Posted May 28, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks Sparklebee that's a bit of a relief that the train station is right across from Wake Up Copenhagen thought it was a little more isolated than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonydennis Posted May 28, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted May 28, 2014 ps. Danish Viking, just realized that you live in Copenhagen. Sorry to go on, but would you pick the Borgegade location over the Carsten Nieburhs Gade location yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted May 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Borgergade in a heartbeat, Kongens Nytorv metro station is around the corner and has direct metro to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonydennis Posted May 29, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Danish Viking thanks a bunch! You have made up my mind for me. Was a little worried no coffee shop or even a 7-11 near the Carsten location even though it is supposed to be more "central." The Carsten location for some reason is also slightly more expensive. Thank you also for all your previous posts, they were extremely helpful. I'm in Copenhagen for four days then off to a princess baltic cruise cheers tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted May 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Well you can't exactly call Carsten Niebuhrs gade centrally located, look it up on a map and see what I mean. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyr Posted May 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 29, 2014 since you just came back, any restaurant reccomendations for copenhagen?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkleBee Posted May 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2014 if you make it to Christiania, make absolutely sure to hit the Lagkagehuset there. this is a large bakery chain but this location in particular is amazing. they have a pastry which has a strip of cinnamon, a strip of vanilla pudding, and a strip of icing - it's to die for! another great bakery we hit was Meyers near Nyhaven and the one right across the street from it too.
