Copenhagen is one of the most expensive cities in Copenhagen is one of the most expensive cities in the world, but you can still enjoy it on a budget 💪🏼 If you’re wondering where to stay in Copenhagen that’s cheap, I’d suggest checking out @staygenerator ☺️ This hostel-hotel hybrid offers both dorm and private rooms. We stayed in the Deluxe King Ensuite room which has a lot of space and a nice city view 🪟 The hotel also has an amazing bar, games area, and the city’s largest shuffleboard centre 👀 But the best thing might be the location because it sits less than 10 minutes away from Nyhavn and around the corner from Rosenborg Castle 🏰 What do you think of this affordable place to stay in Copenhagen? 🇩🇰 • • • • • • • • • • #staygenerator #generatorhostel #copenhagen #visitcopenhagen #copenhagenhotel #hostellife #kristatheexplorer #travel #travelblogger #traveltips #visitdenmark #denmark #copenhagenlife #copenhagen🇩🇰 #copenhagensecrets #hotelreview #historyblogger
