Wakeup Copenhagen Bernstorffsgade
First floor, street side is noisy. Street side rooms are small. Recommend the larger room. Overall, great value and comfortable beds. Breakfast option is ok, but better breakfast options elsewhere. Convenient, yes….but better Danish breakfast options are nearby. The pastries at breakfast were lame. ...
