Hotel Details

Location

Central Indre By location, 150 metres from Kongens Nytorv square, a 5-minute walk to Strøget pedestrian street.
Generator Copenhagen sits in the historic Indre By district, within walking distance of major attractions. Kongens Nytorv Metro station is a 5-minute walk away, and the M2 line connects directly to the airport in about 20 minutes. Copenhagen Central Station is 3 metro stops or a 25-minute walk. Nyhavn's canal-side bars and restaurants are 1 km away, and Rosenborg Castle and the National Art Gallery are reachable via King's Garden. The area is walkable and flat, making car-free exploration straightforward. A supermarket is located directly opposite the hotel.

Accommodation

Range of budget-friendly private rooms and shared dorms with a modern, colourful design.
The property offers 175 rooms including private doubles, twins, and quads, as well as shared dorms (4, 6, and 8-bed) and female-only dorms. Private rooms feature en-suite bathrooms, a flat-screen TV with Danish channels, and lock-up storage. Deluxe King rooms are larger with city views, electronic safe, and enhanced design. Family rooms combine a bunk and a double bed. Dorm beds include a privacy screen, reading light, personal shelf, charging station with USB port, and under-bed lockers (padlock required). Sinks are located in the room rather than the bathroom in some configurations, which can create more noise. Rooms face either the street or the quieter inner courtyard. Windows open only a small amount and there is no air conditioning or mechanical ventilation, so internal temperatures can become hot and stuffy, especially on upper floors. Noise from the street and internal bar events can be significant in road-facing rooms.

Dining

On-site bar and restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails with a lively social atmosphere.
Breakfast is a Scandinavian buffet (95 DKK) with bread, butter, cereals, yogurt, cheese, ham, chicken, scrambled eggs, jam, Nutella, fruit, salad, coffee, tea, juices, and milk. For lunch and dinner the bar and restaurant offers burgers, flatbreads, sharing snack baskets, and a well-stocked main bar with happy hour specials. The venue also hosts live music on Wednesdays and DJs on weekends, creating a vibrant nightlife hub that also operates as the PlayBar with shuffleboard and pétanque. The bar is open daily with extended weekend hours. Guests can request special diet menus.

Wellness and Leisure

The on-site PlayBar features Copenhagen's largest shuffleboard centre and one of the city's only pétanque courts.
The PlayBar contains 9 shuffleboard tables spread throughout the bar area and a dedicated pétanque court on the terrace. These activities are suitable for groups and solo travellers looking to socialise. The bar also hosts regular entertainment including live music, DJ nights, karaoke, and scheduled walking tours and pub crawls. An outdoor terrace with seating and a sun terrace is available for relaxation. A billiard table is on site but requires an additional charge. The bar can be hired privately for groups up to 45 people.

Facilities and Services

24-hour reception, free Wi-Fi, bike rental, laundry, luggage storage lockers, and vending machines.
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. The 24-hour reception can assist with express check-in/out, taxi bookings, and local information. Bicycle rental is offered for 70 DKK per day from reception. Laundry facilities (self-service) are available for an additional charge. Luggage storage lockers can be rented for a fee (approximately 60-80 DKK per use) if you arrive before check-in or after checkout. A safety deposit box is available. The property has a lift (one elevator only), heating throughout, and designated non-smoking areas. Key card access and 24-hour security with CCTV are in place. Pets are allowed on request with charges applicable. Business facilities include fax/photocopying for a fee. Board games and a children's play area are available for families. Parking is limited to on-street paid parking (cheaper on weekends) and the nearby Q-Park basement at own cost.
