For a quaint property with a friendly atmosphere, the two-pearl Hotel Rye is a good pick. It’s best suited to budget-minded tourists, since the guest rooms are simple, but charming and clean, with limited amenities like flat-screen TVs and shared bathrooms. None of the rooms are air-conditioned and kettles are missing, though free coffee and tea are available in the breakfast room all day. The hotel offers a free organic breakfast of cold cuts and pastries, as well as free Wi-Fi. For those who don’t want a 20-minute walk or more to the city center, it’s worth comparing prices at Hotel Christian IV which has similar amenities but a more central Copenhagen location.

Scene
Simple, budget hotel with retro interiors and a pleasant vibe
Housed in a brick building with no elevator, Hotel Rye offers basic amenities and clean, simple rooms. Interiors are modest but bright and cheerful with a simple lobby meant only for checking in. Colorful decor and retro or repurposed items are a staple of the overall design. For instance, the front desk is made from repurposed doors, while the living room features a vintage record player, colorful crates, and large maps. The living room has a pleasant vibe with cozy seating and lots of light from windows and a door that lead out to a charming furnished balcony. The property attracts tourists on a budget who don’t require much and are fine with a short drive or long walk to Copenhagen’s city center in exchange for low rates in an expensive city.
Location
Slightly outside of Copenhagen's city center, but still only a 22-minute walk to Rosenborg Castle
Travelers who don’t mind being outside of the city center, but close enough to access through public transportation or long walks, will like Hotel Rye. It sits between Faelledparken and one of Copenhagen’s Lakes, both just a four-minute walks away. A 22-minute walk through Copenhagen’s Botanic Gardens takes travelers to Rosenborg Castle. For attractions, like Tivoli Gardens, that are too far to reach on foot, there’s a bus stop that’s a four-minute walk away or a train stop that takes 17 minutes to reach on foot. There are plenty of dining options within a five-minute walk. It takes 35 minutes to reach Copenhagen Airport by car.
Rooms
Contemporary rooms with trompe l'oeil style wall designs and flat-screen TVs; all have shared bathrooms
Clean and well-maintained, guest rooms are basic and comfortable with limited space. The rooms feature tiled brown floors and a mostly white decor with some colorful accents in curtains or retro chairs. Some rooms have objects, like desks, headboards, or windows, painted on the walls in trompe l'oeil style to give an almost 3D effect. Flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi make up the bulk of the amenities in rooms; they all lack air-conditioning and kettles. All rooms use shared bathrooms, which are reportedly clean and include showers, sinks with hand soap, and hairdryers (and if you’re lucky, left over toiletries from previous guests). Views either overlook a pleasant garden or the city streets.
Features
Free organic breakfast and lounge areas to interact
Like many other budget city hotels, Hotel Rye is pretty low frills in terms of amenities. There’s a free organic breakfast served in the mornings that includes cold cuts and pastries. Coffee and tea are free and available throughout the day. Guests can relax and socialize in two places: on the outdoor furnished balcony or in the living room area, complete with a cool record player, couches, and games. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. There’s no on-site parking, though parking lots can be found nearby for a fee.
