10 Of The Cheapest, Nicest Hotels In Copenhagen 2026 [Under £150 Per Night]

Copenhagen isn’t exactly known as a budget destination – in fact, it often ranks among the most expensive cities in Europe. But as a local who loves this city and understands how quickly those kroner can add up, I’ve made it my mission to uncover the best affordable stays that don’t sacrifice charm, comfort, or that unmistakable Danish vibe.

Whether you’re here for the design, the food, the hygge, or just a really good cardamom knot, this blog will help you find a cosy (and cost-conscious) place to rest your head. These are my top picks for the 10 cheapest but genuinely nice hotels in Copenhagen – spots I’d actually recommend to friends and have stayed at myself, not just the ones with the lowest price tags.

Let’s get you booked without breaking the bank!

1. Capsule Hotel Copenhagen

• Price per night: from £90 including breakfast
• Nearest metro station: 500m (Copenhagen Central Station)
• Google review score: 4.5 / 5

We’re kicking things off with Capsule Hotel Copenhagen. Their cosy and innovative sleeping pods are in one of the best locations in the city with quick access to the beautiful lakes, historic Tivoli Gardens and tastiest restaurants in the Meatpacking District.

Not to mention, with Copenhagen Central Station just 500m away, getting to and from the airport is a breeze as well as connecting around the rest of the city and wider Denmark.

But I know what you’re thinking – isn’t this just a cupboard to sleep in? Technically, yes. But hear me out – I’ve stayed in quite a few of these pod style hotels around the world and I love them. You get all the privacy and safety of a private room without the huge price tag. These pods are still deceptively spacious, super snug and in this case, come with a delicious free breakfast too.

2. CityHub Copenhagen

• Price per night: from £80
• Nearest metro station: 550m (Frederiksberg Alle)
• Google review score: 4.7 / 5

If you’re after something a little more spacious with communal areas to relax, work or grab a drink, choose CityHub Copenhagen. This spot gets rave reviews for a reason – their small but incredibly cleverly designed rooms maximise space for ultimate comfort and usability without breaking the bank.

The location of this hotel is also brilliant. Straddling the border between cool Vesterbro and historic leafy Fredriksberg you’re surrounded by some of the best bakeries, restaurants and bars, as well as the Carlsberg factory, city zoo and pretty parks. Just be sure to book your room while you can, they get snapped up quickly!

3. Rye115 Hotel

• Price per night: from £118
• Nearest metro station: 300m (Trianglen)
• Google review score: 4.3 / 5

For that home away from home feeling, choose Rye11 Hotel. Their spacious and airy rooms blend traditional elegance with a modern twist where pops of colour meet classic design.

This really is the place to kick back and relax after a day in the city. Take a snooze on your plush bedding, slip on your complimentary robe and sip a coffee on the balcony, or head down to the garden to enjoy a glass of wine and a good book. Whatever you fancy, heading back out for dinner afterwards isn’t a chore as you’re still in the heart of the city, just a short walk from the lakes and within walking distance to incredible restaurants.

Just note, the bathrooms are shared here but meticulously cleaned and easily accessible for a seamless stay.

4. Cabinn Metro

• Price per night: from £76
• Nearest metro station: 700m (Ørestad)
• Google review score: 3.5 / 5

For the ultimate budget saver in this list, choose Cabinn Metro. I stayed here twice when coming to look for apartments ready to move to Copenhagen. While it is more of a no-frills experience compared to the others in this list, if you’re on a tight budget, it can’t be beaten!

For around £75 you’ll get a full double bed, your own en-suite bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities and a small working area. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the staff are really helpful and you’re super close to the metro (M1 line) that takes you right into the city in 15 – 20 minutes. So don’t let that Google review score fool you, I would and have happily stayed here again!

5. ibis Styles Copenhagen Ørestad

• Price per night: from £144
• Nearest metro station: 150m (Bella Center)
• Google review score: 4.6 / 5

For one of the most stylish stays in Copenhagen, head to ibis Styles Ørestad. Their thoughtfully designed spaces feel more unique than many chain hotels and set the perfect scene for your time in the city.

Plus, getting around couldn’t be easier, there’s a metro station right outside which takes you into the city centre in around 10 – 15 minutes. There’s also a collection of great restaurants and coffee shops right next to the hotel – some of my favourites are Bella’s Coffee Lab for the best barista brew, Nozomi for all-you-can-eat sushi and Andersen Bakery for mouth-watering Japandi inspired bakes.

There’s also bike hire, plenty of comfy lounge seating and an on-site restaurant and bar – what more could you want?!

6. Four Points Flex by Sheraton Copenhagen Arena

• Price per night: from £103
• Nearest metro station: Ørestad (300m)
• Google review score: 4 / 5

If you’re travelling to Copenhagen for a show at the Royal Arena, as the name of this hotel suggests, the best spot to stay is Four Points Flex by Sheraton Copenhagen Arena. This hotel is just a couple of minutes walk away from the most popular music venue in the country, yet you wouldn’t know it as this place is so peaceful and quiet.

Their simple but comfy rooms are the perfect place to decompress and relax after seeing a show or a busy day in the city. Simply hop off the metro and walk just 300m to get back to your room.

There’s also a fitness centre, bikes to hire and delicious breakfast buffet – ensuring you have everything you could need for a great stay!

7. Go Hotel City

• Price per night: from £110
• Nearest metro station: Lergravsparken (500m)
• Google review score: 4.1 / 5

If it’s a taste of beachside laid back living you’re after, choose Go Hotel City. Here you’re perfectly positioned just 700m from the city’s best beach – Amager Strand. This golden stretch of sand is perfect for lounging on long summer days before cooling off in the crystal clear blue water.

There’s also plenty of great restaurants and cafés in this area too so you won’t struggle to find a delicious meal! Or hop on the metro to head into the heart of the city for even more options and exploring.

The hotel itself is modern, fresh and clean with a beautiful roof terrace where you can sip a cocktail with views of the ocean.

8. Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers by IHG

• Price per night: from £130
• Nearest metro station: Ørestad (400m)
• Google review score: 4.3 / 5

For the most spacious rooms in the city, choose Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers. Their generous rooms have some of the largest beds for the comfiest night’s sleep. As this is a Crowne Plaza hotel, you know you’ll get good service and a level of quality and care that comes from this brand.

In terms of location, this hotel sits slightly south of the city, making getting to and from the airport a breeze while still offering easy access into the heart of the capital. Hop on the metro at Ørestad station and you’ll arrive in the centre in just 15-20 minutes – it’s so easy and quick!

9. AC Hotel by Marriott Bella Sky Copenhagen

• Price per night: from £149
• Nearest metro station: Bella Center (800m)
• Google review score: 4.3 / 5

To stay in one of the most architecturally impressive hotels with the best views in Copenhagen, choose AC Hotel by Marriott. Their chic and minimal rooms make the views across the neighbouring nature reserve the star of the show.

In terms of location, not only do you have direct access to Amager Fælled – the free to explore nature reserve with highland cattle and deer, but easy access into the city centre. To me, that’s the best of both worlds! Especially if you’re a runner or like to have time in nature, there are brilliant running and walking paths all around the area as well as some harbour swimming spots.

Hungry for good food? There’s also a panoramic restaurant at the top of the building, the perfect spot for a final dinner!

10. Moxy Copenhagen Sydhavnen

• Price per night: from £114
• Nearest metro station: Mozarts Plads (650m)
• Google review score: 4.2 / 5

For access to some of the best free swimming spots in the city, choose Moxy Sydhavnen. This is one of my favourite parts of the city, it’s so relaxed, so easy to explore and has some of my favourite spots to grab a coffee or meal. Plus, it’s blessed with canals and waterways that are calm and crystal clear – perfect for swimming. On sunny summer days, there’s nothing more quintessentially Danish than lazing on the swim platforms with a good book and taking a dip.

TOP TIP: Check out Yum Yoga Café for waterside coffee and snacks, Riccos Kaffebar for the best barista brew, Ottos for great pizza and Supermarco Italian supermarket for the best mediterranean treats.

If that sounds just as good to you then Moxy is the one. The hotel itself is designed in signature Moxy style with bold prints bright colours and has lots of great shared spaces from working areas and comfy seating to a gym and bar.

There we have it – that’s my list of the top spots to get a great night’s sleep in the Danish capital, without breaking the bank.
