Practical information : Accomodation Copenhagen
Budget & Tips
Autumn remains a season less frequented by tourists, and the weather is still mild. Prices are much lower! The apartment option is ideal for groups or longer stays. What's more, the use of a fully-equipped kitchen means you don't have to eat out too often, and the markets are full of tempting produce and ready-made meals.
If you don't mind the snoring of your room-mates, you can book a bed in a dormitory. Youth hostels offer comfort in communal areas, and on the whole, they're not bad at all. Certain advantages: conviviality and service! In principle, you'll have access to a kitchen and services such as wifi, Internet connection, laundry facilities, a library... Average budget: from €45 for a dormitory, from €65 for a single room.
To be booked
Copenhagen is on a roll. Its growing reputation is seeing an increase in visitor numbers. Given the high hotel rates, it's a good idea to book weekdays instead of traditional weekends. However, book well in advance for Christmas, summer vacations and long weekends.
More and more budget hotels are opening. They guarantee attractive prices that fluctuate according to the season, such as Motel One, Go Hotel or Citizen M.
What's very local
A Green Key label (Den Grønne Nøgle) has been created, awarded to establishments (youth hostels, hotels, etc.) that comply with rigorous specifications, including some 50 principles: using non-polluting detergents and laundry products, introducing non-smoking rooms, controlling water consumption, not providing disposable cups in rooms, etc. The label is renewed every year. The label is renewed every year.
For food lovers
It's time to rejoice: breakfast or Morgenmad is the meal not to be neglected in Denmark. With its special breads, cold meats, fruit and cheeses, it's both hearty and well-balanced. Typically, you'll eat Ostemad, small sandwiches made from a piece of bread covered with cheese; wienerbrød, a kind of pastry made from puff pastry and marzipan. They often contain cinnamon, cardamom, almonds or pecans; Havregød, an English-style porridge. When it comes to hot drinks, Danes are big fans of coffee.
Smokers
Hotel legislation is the same as in France: smoking is prohibited in public places unless special facilities, such as smoke-extraction booths, are provided.
