This 510-room modern hotel features hip minimalist interiors and caters to budget travelers with its compact and basic guest rooms. The rooms are clean and spare: equipped with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and tiny desks, but not much else -- there's little storage space, and the capsule-like bathrooms are small. A buffet breakfast is served in an inviting dining room (for a fee), plus the hotel has a lobby bar for drinks and snacks. Other amenities include a business center, bike rentals, and on-site parking. The property is just a 10-minute walk from the main train station and also close to Tivoli Gardens, but there's not much in the immediate area. For a more convenient location near the Royal Danish Theater and plenty of shops, check out the brand's other property, Wakeup Copenhagen, Borgergade.

Scene
Modern budget hotel with stylish minimalist interiors
A modern value hotel situated in a large slate gray building, Wakeup Copenhagen Carsten Niebuhrs Gade is a stylish property decked out in a hip minimalist aesthetic. Neutral black and white hues are brightened by pops of vivid color, like lime green and tangerine pillows that accent the black seating in the lobby. The sleek furnishings are paired with some fun details like fuzzy lime-hued area rugs and cool modern seating throughout. Potted plants and greenery here and there add some color. The lobby has a 24/7 reception desk, as well as kiosk reception machines for speedy service. With competitive rates and simple guest rooms, the property is aimed at budget travelers, but its stylish modern interiors make it feel more like a mid-range property. Guests here are mostly leisure travelers on a city break, but business travelers stay here too.
Location
Within walking distance of the main train station and Tivoli Gardens
The hotel is situated by the water and off of the busy ring road motorway. It neighbors the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center, but there's not much in the immediate area -- which is mainly filled with large commercial properties -- beyond a steakhouse and a sushi restaurant. Nevertheless, it's a convenient location as it's a 10-minute walk to the central train station and around a 15-minute walk to Tivoli Gardens. Strøget, a popular pedestrian shopping street, is within a 20- to 25-minute walk of the hotel. Other popular attractions, like Nyhavn, the picturesque historic waterfront, and Rosenborg Castle can both be reached in about 20 minutes via public transportation. Copenhagen Airport is about a 15-minute drive away, or 25 to 35 minutes via public transit.
Rooms
Small and minimalist rooms have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi; compact bathrooms feel cramped
Rooms here are sleek and minimalist in style, with spare decor and a nearly all-white color palette livened up by lime-green curtains. The spaces are compact and feel almost pod-like; room sizes range from 129 to 161 square feet (12 to 15 square meters). They're divided into five different categories: Standard, Sky (which have slightly better views), Heaven (which have the best views and are usually situated on the building's top floors), Large (which add fold-out mattresses and can sleep up to three people), and Family Rooms (which are composed of two interconnecting Standard Rooms). All rooms have small desks, while other standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. There's not much storage space in the small rooms beyond drawers beneath the beds and a couple of hangers for clothes. Bathrooms are tiny, with capsule-like frosted glass showers set right in the rooms, as well as small sinks and toilets. Wall-mounted hairdryers as well as wall-mounted hand soap and hair/body wash are provided.
Features
Breakfast room, lobby bar, business center, and bike rentals
