I've listed a few big business-class hotels, the best budget hotels in the center,
cheap rooms in private homes in great neighborhoods an easy bus ride from
the station, and a few backpacker dorm options.
Big Copenhagen hotels have an exasperating pricing policy. Their high
rack rates are actually charged only about 20 or 30 days a year (unless you
book in advance and don't know better). As hotels are swamped at certain
times, they like to keep their gouging options open. Therefore, you'll need to
check their website for deals or be bold enough to simply show up and use
the TI's booking service to find yourself a room on their push list (ask at their
desk, 100-kr fee). The TI swears that, except for maybe 10 days a year, you
can land yourself a deeply discounted room in a three- or four-star business-
class hotel in the center. That means a 1,400-kr double with American-style
comfort for about 900 kr, including a big buffet breakfast.
