Fodor's Expert Review CABINN Scandinavia Hotel

This impeccably maintained, bright budget hotel is just west of the lakes and Vesterport Station. The hotel is popular with business travelers in winter and budget-minded backpackers and families in summer. There's no restaurant or bar, but you can buy refreshments at the front desk, and a basic continental breakfast is often included in the room rate. It's no beauty from the outside - or inside, if we're honest - but it does the trick for a central-ish stay at a good price.

YOU SHOULD KNOW Mix-ups with bookings have been known, so make sure to double-check your reservation.

room

Rooms, which were inspired by ship's cabins (hence the name), are very small, but are designed with efficiency to include ample showers and foldaway and bunk beds.

bathroom

Bathrooms are basic, clean and functional.

lobby

The lobby is surprisingly buzzy considering its plainness, perhaps because of the hotel's popularity with younger travellers and groups. Staff are very friendly.

The hotel is more of a base than a destination in itself - but the surrounding neighborhoods are cool and full of dining and drinking options, so branch out.

dining

No restaurant, but a decent breakfast.
