As of now, I've been Copenhagen twice:
ā¢ Once as a solo female traveller back in 2019 while backpacking around Europe,
ā¢ And the second time with family & friends when my husband and I got married at Copenhagen City Centre. š
This is honestly one of my favourite cities in the world and the place I've felt the safest while traveling.
The city is super safe, clean, people are the most welcoming and the food taste great (surprisingly).
I'm really looking forward to visit the city again.

Why We Chose It: The hotel is set in a beautifully renovated building, which still boasts its original Danish-style faƧadeāa detail we adored. Its location is unbeatable, just a short stroll from Central Station and the iconic Tivoli Gardens. For us, this meant easy access for our guests and a convenient spot to relax amid the wedding festivities.

For 1 or 2 people: One bedroom, one bathroom.

Affordable Hotel
While I didnāt personally stay at Wakeup Copenhagen, I chose it for our wedding guests after hours of research into safe, clean, affordable, and centrally located hotels in Copenhagenāand it turned out to be an excellent choice!
Why I Chose It: We booked the Borgergade location for our guests, and they all raved about their stay. This hotelās central location made it easy for everyone to explore Copenhagenās main attractions, from Nyhavn to Amalienborg Palace, all within walking distance. Designed by the renowned Danish architect Kim Utzon, the hotel boasts a minimalist aesthetic that combines style and practicality, offering great value for money.
Note: Wakeup Copenhagen has two other locationsāone near Tivoli Gardens (Carsten Niebuhrs Gade) and the other by the Kalvebod Brygge waterfront. I canāt speak for those, but the Borgergade location was ideal for our wedding events and guest convenience.
The Rooms
The rooms are compact but well-designed, making the most of the space with a sleek, modern vibe. Each one includes:
Free Wi-Fi
TV and desk
Air conditioning and heating

Breakfast: Available for a fee, though Iād recommend exploring local cafes for better value and variety.
Bike Rentals: Ideal for discovering Copenhagenās bike-friendly streets.
Parking Facilities: Available for a fee, perfect for those driving.
Ironing Room: A thoughtful touch for those attending events like weddings!
Luggage Storage: Useful for early arrivals or late departures.
Tips for Booking
To secure the best rates and room availability, book well in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.
When choosing between their locations, think about the attractions youād like to be closest to. For us, Borgergadeās central position was a huge plus for our guests, allowing them to easily explore the city on foot or by renting a bike.
Why I Recommend It
Even though I didnāt stay there personally, Wakeup Copenhagen Borgergade checked all the boxes for our wedding guests. Itās affordable, clean, safe, and so conveniently located.
