Copenhagen is well served by a wide range of hotels, overall among Europe's most expensive. The hotels around the somewhat run-down red-light district of Istedgade—which looks more dangerous than it is—are the least expensive. Copenhagen is a compact, eminently walkable city, and most of the hotels are in or near the city center, usually within walking distance of most of the major sights and thoroughfares.
Breakfast is almost always included in the room rate, except in some of the pricier American-run hotel chains. Rooms have bath or shower unless otherwise noted. Note that in Copenhagen, as in the rest of Denmark, half (to three-fourths) of the rooms usually have showers only (while the rest have showers and bathtubs), so make sure to state your preference when booking.
