Best Family Hotels in Copenhagen with Family Suites & Apartments
8 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Copenhagen . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Copenhagen hotel rooms are tiny. That's the honest starting point. A standard double in the city centre is often barely wider than the bed, and anyone who has tried to sleep four people in a 16-square-metre room with a folding cot knows how miserable that can get by day three. The good news is that Copenhagen has an unusually deep bench of apart-hotels, serviced apartments, and proper two-room family suites — more per capita than almost any other Northern European capital. Pick one of these and you get a kitchen for breakfast chaos, a washing machine for muddy Tivoli days, and a living room where kids can crash out while parents finish the wine.
Copenhagen is built for kids in a way Paris and London aren't. The streets are flat, bike lanes are physically separated, Tivoli Gardens is in the middle of town, and there's no tipping so a family dinner doesn't trigger the mental math of service charges. Nyhavn canal boats, the Little Mermaid, the Round Tower's spiral ramp, and the National Aquarium are all doable in one compact trip. Distances are small — most families don't need a car.
🛏️Why Copenhagen Works for Families Who Need Space
The kitchen question matters more here than in most European capitals. Danish supermarket staples — rugbrød, skyr, fresh berries, smoked salmon, liver pâté — are genuinely nice, and a Netto or Føtex run is cheaper than any café. We always budget two cook-at-home dinners per week when we stay in Copenhagen apart-hotels, and the kids prefer it because they can graze on crisps and fruit between sightseeing without waiting for a waiter.
Location trumps luxury. Copenhagen's metro is small and the city is walkable, so a slightly plain apart-hotel 5 minutes from a metro stop beats a boutique place 20 minutes out. We rank Østerbro, Nørrebro, Vesterbro, and Indre By (the old centre) as the four family-friendly neighbourhoods. Anything further than a 15-minute metro ride from the Hovedbanegården station starts to feel far with a tired 5-year-old.
Parent's take
What kills a Copenhagen family trip isn't the weather — it's cramped rooms and expensive restaurants. Book a suite with a kitchen and proper beds, and the city opens up. We've stayed in four of the places below across three trips and the single best decision was always choosing space over stars. Thirty square metres beats a 5-star ceiling rose every time.
Our Top 8 Picks
Hotels in Copenhagen with family suite, sorted by guest rating.
Charlottehaven
Østerbro
Wonderful
500 reviews
Charlottehaven is a serviced apartment complex in Østerbro with genuinely large suites — the smallest sleep four, the biggest sleep six. Every unit has a full kitchen, washing machine, dining table, and separate living room. On-site: 18-metre indoor pool, sauna, fitness centre, and a small outdoor play area for kids.
From
€1089/night
Why families love Charlottehaven
Our 10-year-old counted the indoor pool as the best part of the trip and asked to go back. The apartment was bigger than our flat at home. We made breakfast every morning (kids loved skyr with berries) and cooked dinner three nights — probably saved 5000 DKK across the week. Østerbro is residential, quiet, and 15 minutes by metro to Nyhavn. The playground courtyard kept the kids busy for an hour each afternoon while we had coffee on the terrace.
Hypernym Hotel & Suites
City Centre
Wonderful
500 reviews
Hypernym Hotel & Suites is a boutique aparthotel 3 minutes walk from Tivoli Gardens. Suites range from studios to two-bedroom family units with full kitchens, washing machines, and separate living rooms. The property offers babysitting on request and a kid-friendly breakfast buffet with Danish staples.
From
€745/night
Why families love Hypernym Hotel & Suites
The 3-minute walk to Tivoli is what sold us. Kids on the edge of a meltdown? Back to the room in under 10 minutes. Our two-bedroom suite had a real kitchen, a washing machine that got used daily, and enough space for the 6-year-old to scatter Lego across the living room floor. The breakfast buffet is smaller than a chain hotel but everything is Danish and good. Babysitting arranged for our anniversary dinner worked out perfectly.
Locke Copenhagen
Vesterbro / City Centre
Excellent
500 reviews
Locke Copenhagen is a design-led aparthotel a 9-minute walk from Copenhagen Central Station and 12 minutes from Tivoli Gardens. Studios and one-bedroom apartments have full kitchenettes with induction hobs, microwaves, and washing machines. The on-site Paradiso restaurant is properly good — kids eat half portions for 95 DKK.
From
€577/night
Why families love Locke Copenhagen
Locke is the one we'd send friends to for a first Copenhagen trip with kids. The location cannot be beaten: 9 minutes to the station, 12 to Tivoli, direct walk to the old town. The one-bedroom apartment was snug but had everything — washing machine, proper kitchen, double sofa bed in the living room for the kids. The breakfast at Paradiso is the best hotel breakfast we've had in Denmark. On-site laundry costs but is decent.
Numa Copenhagen Nørrebro
Nørrebro
Excellent
500 reviews
Numa Copenhagen Nørrebro is a self-check-in aparthotel in one of Copenhagen's most interesting neighbourhoods. Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom family units with full kitchens, washing machines, and tasteful Scandi design. There's no reception — everything runs through an app, which works well once you're in.
From
€916/night
Why families love Numa Copenhagen Nørrebro
Nørrebro is the kind of area where parents get to feel like they're living in Copenhagen rather than touring it. The bakery on the corner, the Superkilen park 3 minutes away, falafel places that stay open late. Our apartment had a proper washer-dryer and a kitchen big enough to cook in. The app check-in took 5 minutes. One note: no cot provided — we borrowed one from a neighbouring hotel. Worth asking when you book.
Adina Apartment Hotel Copenhagen
Østerbro / Nordhavn
Excellent
500 reviews
Adina sits on Amerika Plads in Nordhavn, a 10-minute walk from the Little Mermaid and 20 minutes on foot to Nyhavn. Apartments have full kitchens with dishwashers, separate dining areas, and balconies. The on-site Storehouse restaurant serves a solid breakfast buffet and kid-friendly Danish classics.
From
€516/night
Why families love Adina Apartment Hotel Copenhagen
We stayed four nights with a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old. The two-bedroom apartment was the size of a small London flat — parents in one room, kids in bunk beds, a washing machine that ran every night, and a kitchen we actually used for breakfast and two dinners. The harbour walk to the Little Mermaid became our evening ritual. Metro to the centre is 15 minutes. One of the few Copenhagen hotels where a family of four can actually spread out.
Tivoli Hotel
Copenhagen
Very Good
565 reviews
Tivoli Hotel is a large 4-star beside the central station with a 14-metre heated indoor pool, sauna, and easy walk to Tivoli Gardens itself (the reason you probably came).
From
$500/night
Why families love Tivoli Hotel
The location is hard to beat: 8 minutes walk to Tivoli and next to Copenhagen Central for the airport train. Pool is 14 metres, well-heated, and open to 10pm. Family rooms are basic but spacious. Breakfast is busy on weekends so go at 7am or after 9:30.
Scandic Spectrum
Copenhagen
Very Good
349 reviews
Scandic Spectrum is a 4-star on Kalvebod Brygge with a heated indoor pool, gym, and family rooms for four. The waterfront location is 12 minutes walk to Tivoli via the harbour promenade.
From
$338/night
Why families love Scandic Spectrum
Pool is smaller than Charlottehaven but warmer (29 degrees, good for toddlers). Family rooms sleep 4 comfortably, with a sofa bed partition that works. The location is quiet at night but you have the harbour front for morning jogs. Buffet breakfast is the best on this list.
CPH Hotel
Copenhagen
Good
644 reviews
CPH Hotel is a 3-star near Nørrebrogade with an indoor pool and sauna, simple family rooms, and prices 30 to 40 percent lower than the 4-star hotels downtown.
From
$667/night
Why families love CPH Hotel
The pool is small, maybe 10 metres, but warm and quiet because the hotel is mostly business travellers. Best value on this list for families willing to tram 5 minutes to the centre. Rooms are plain but clean, and staff are genuinely helpful. Book a family room early as there are only a few.
💡What We Learned Booking Copenhagen Family Suites
- 1Book apart-hotels 4-6 months out for July and August. Copenhagen's family-suite inventory is thin and the best-priced rooms (Adina, Charlottehaven, Locke) sell first. Late May and early September have the same long days and half the price.
- 2Pick a hotel with a real washing machine, not just a coin laundry down the street. After three rainy Tivoli days the ability to run a wash at 10pm while kids sleep is the difference between a good trip and a stressed one.
- 3A Copenhagen Card Child (0-11) is free with an adult card — but only at certain attractions. Always check the list before buying. Tivoli is not included. Nyhavn canal tours, Rosenborg Castle, and the metro are.
- 4Supermarkets close earlier than you expect. Netto and Føtex shut around 21:00 or 22:00, and on Sundays some neighbourhood branches close by 19:00. Plan the cook-at-home dinners for nights you arrive back at the apartment by 19:30.
- 5Bring or rent bikes. Copenhagen is flat, bike lanes are separated, and family bike rentals (including cargo bikes with kid seats) are under 250 DKK per day. Three of the five hotels below have bike rental desks or free loaners.
