Let’s talk about where to rest your head in Denmark without emptying your wallet. Accommodation might be one of your biggest expenses, but savvy travelers have plenty of wallet-friendly options to choose from.
Hostels That Feel Like Home
Denmark’s hostel network is impressive – think clean, comfy digs that go beyond basic dorm rooms. Many offer private rooms with ensuite bathrooms (hello, privacy!), plus communal kitchens where you can whip up your own smørrebrød. A dorm bed averages 150kr per night, with a 25kr surcharge for non-HI members (pro tip: grab the 160kr annual membership at any hostel – it pays for itself fast). Don’t forget bed linen rental unless you’re packing your own!
Sleep-Ins: The Backpacker’s Hideout
Found mostly in cities, these compact hostels cater specifically to the backpacker crowd. Prices match regular hostels, but watch for age limits (typically under 35) and seasonal closures. Your best move? Swing by the local tourist office for current openings.
Hotels That Won’t Break the Bank
Surprise! Danish hotels can compete with hostel private rooms price-wise. Expect at least 450kr for singles and 550kr for doubles – and that always includes a legendary Danish breakfast buffet. Booking early? You might score sweet discounts, especially during summer.
Authentic Local Stays
Private rooms (350-450kr for doubles) offer local charm, though expect a small booking fee. For true countryside immersion, farmstays (Bondegårdsferie) let you bunk in rural digs or pitch tents amid rolling fields.
Your Complete Camping Guide
Packing a tent? You’ll need either a Camping Key Scandinavia (110kr) from any campsite or a Transit Card (35kr) for single nights. Most sites operate April-September with year-round exceptions. Denmark’s strict star grading system ensures you know exactly what to expect:
- ★ Basic toilets & showers
- ★★ Adds cooking facilities + nearby shop
- ★★★ Laundry & TV lounge included
- ★★★★ On-site store
- ★★★★★ Full-service with cafeteria
Rates run 75-100kr per person. For non-tenters, cozy cabins (2500kr-6000kr/week) book up months ahead – though last-minute deals sometimes pop up at 300kr/night. Forget wild camping – it’s illegal here with instant fines. Get the full camping lowdown at www.dk-camp.dk – your ultimate Danish camping resource.
