Q // I’ve booked travel to Copenhagen for a long weekend, but hotels seem expensive. Is there any good, budget accommodat­ion in the city?

-

Although it’s one of the world’s most liveable and designfrie­ndly cities, Copenhagen can also be quite expensive. I know of three stylish places to stay that won’t put a strain on your budget. For a combinatio­n of great design, aordability and facilities then Steel House Copenhagen is perfect. It’s a five-minute walk from the dreamy Tivoli Gardens and the city’s Central Station and has a clean Nordic design. Common facilities include a wellequipp­ed kitchen and heated indoor pool plus common lounge and bar. Rates start from €30 (£25) per night for a dorm, €130 (£111) for a double.

If you’re looking for something quieter yet still social with a focus on wellbeing, then the Woodah Hostel in Vesterbro is a fantastic choice. Owned by yoga enthusiast­s, Woodah has deals in place with local yoga schools for guests. The hostel’s organic homemade breakfast in its onsite cafe is a nice place to start the day while the custom-made bunk beds with privacy curtains oer a good night’s sleep. Rates start from €30 (£25) for a dorm, €75 (£64) for a double bed in a mixed dorm.

Finally, if you’re looking for character, facilities and design at a reasonable price then look no further than the Philippe Starck-inspired Generator Copenhagen in the heart of the city. This hostel has incredible facilities, from the basement Reflection­s ice bar to a firstfloor lounge area with cinema. Rates start from €35 (£30) for a dorm, €117 (£100) for a double. steelhouse­copenhagen.com woodah-hostel.com staygenera­tor. com budgettrav­eller.org
