Despite being a growing cruise port, Copenhagen hotels don’t offer the park and cruise options that are found elsewhere due to limited parking at their premises. So whilst it’s still well worth arriving the day before your cruise in case of unforeseen delays, staying at a hotel and then leaving your car there is not an option in the Danish capital. The hotels below are well situated for a stay before or after your cruise and if you are driving to Copenhagen, check out the parking options here.

For the distance to each port from the hotel, we’ve given the time using the method of transport we’d recommend using. Sometimes, it looks like public transport is available, but the time spent walking is almost as much as just walking. For times when the amount of walking is more than about 15 minutes, we’ve advised a taxi as the best option due to the fact that luggage will need to be transported.

We’ve rounded up some great options and have done a quick comparison in the table below. Clicking on the name of the hotel will take you to further details below, including reviews so you can find out what other travellers have to say.

Information in the table is correct as of Oct 2019, but as prices can vary, please ensure you confirm the price before purchasing. There is also a map showing the locations of each hotel at the bottom of the post.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

Although Copenhagen is geared toward welcoming visitors and has many hotel rooms to choose from, we recommend you make your reservations in advance, especially during the busy periods for cruises (e.g. school holidays and summer) or during festivals when hotels might be booked up. This will help ensure you are able to get your preferred hotel and room type.
