Expedia vs Hotels.com in Copenhagen
Walkable, bike-friendly, and famously well-designed — Copenhagen rewards a neighbourhood-first approach. Indre By (old town) for Nyhavn postcard views and Tivoli Gardens on the doorstep; Vesterbro for buzzier restaurants, craft beer, and Meatpacking District nightlife at slightly sharper prices; Nørrebro for multicultural food markets and the sharpest value in central Copenhagen. Summer (June–August) is peak season with the longest daylight hours; December for Tivoli's Christmas market is the winter spike. Copenhagen is expensive — budget £120+/night for a well-rated central stay. Copenhagen Airport (CPH) connects to Nørreport in 13 minutes on the Metro; bikes are rentable everywhere and often faster than taxis for short hops. Headline rate in Copenhagen runs £110–£290/night — both sites pull from the same inventory, so the price you see for a given property is almost always the same. Differences come from coupon stacking and member-only rates.

Which site to use for Copenhagen
- Just want the cheapest hotel — check both; cheapest wins. Coupon promotions in Copenhagen typically run on one site or the other (rarely both), so a 30-second compare often saves £5–£15/night.
- Adding flights from the UK — Expedia. Their flight + hotel package to Copenhagen typically saves 10–30% versus booking separately.
- Wanting full cancellation flexibility — Hotels.com's "Fully refundable" filter is faster to apply at the results-page level. Both sites honour the same merchant policies once you book.
- Want activities in Copenhagen too — Expedia carries tours and experiences for Copenhagen in the same booking flow. Hotels.com doesn't.
