Accommodation costs much the same as in most capital cities in western Europe, with the best deals to be found on the internet at short notice. While the price categories used in this guide reflect rack rates for a double room in high season, they do not take account of special offers and weekend rates that are often available on the web. Reductions from 1540kr to 950kr for a double or from 2150kr to 1250kr for the pricier establishments are not unusual and hotels regularly reduce their rack rates to suit the market. When a large convention takes place in Copenhagen, special offers go out the window, but at other times top-notch hotels are worth considering. Accommodation can be booked through the Wonderful Copenhagen tourist office – http://www.bookcopenhagen.dk – in person or through the net, and there is a hotel booking service available at the airport tourist office. Another site worth looking at for useful information on less expensive accommodation is http://www.usit.dk Apartments are also available for rent by the day or by the week.
The main middle-of-the-road hotel area is behind Central Station, listed below under Vesterbro and Frederiksberg, where smart and comfortable double rooms can be found for below 1000kr. Classy hotels tend to be on the west side of the city, near Nyhavn and Kongens Nytorv, though they can also be found close to Central Station. Some hotels here also have rooms with shared bathroom facilities for around 650kr. Many hotels have free access to online computers though hostels and budget hotels tend to charge. A check-in time after 1400 is common, check-out time is usually 1100 at the latest.
