Comwell Copenhagen Portside Review

A 483-room hotel at Alexandriagade 1 in Nordhavn, 150 metres from the metro.

Why it stands out

The ground it stands on. Nordhavn is a container port being rebuilt as a district, which makes it the one part of Copenhagen where a large modern hotel is not out of place.

Main trade-off

The area scores 5.5 for nightlife and 6.5 for sightseeing. Nobody stays in Østerbro for the evening, and Nordhavn is the newest and emptiest part of it.

Why we recommend it

Best in the new harbour

Our pick for Østerbro because it is in Nordhavn, the reclaimed harbour ground the area is still growing into, and its own site puts it 150 metres from the metro — which is what makes the northern end of this area workable.
