Detailed 25Hours Hotel Indre By review ↴
Where is the 25hours hotel in Copenhagen
As of 2025, there are two locations: Paper Island and Indre By. We stayed at the Indre By location.
When I tell you the Indre By location is in the heart of Copenhagen, I mean it. The hotel is near Nørreport train station, one of the city’s major transportation hubs. You can take a bus or train from Nørreport to Copenhagen Central in roughly 10 minutes.
By staying here, you’re only steps away from Kobmagergade, one of the city’s busiest shopping streets, and endless restaurants, cafés, and bars. We easily walked from the hotel to Rosenborg Castle and the Round Tower, before strolling to Nyhavn for photos. It’s also close to Torvehallerne, a market hall with gourmet stalls (perfect for picnic bits).
How to get to 25hours Hotel Indre By in Copenhagen
If you’re arriving via Copenhagen Airport, you’re in luck! The airport has Metro and train lines connecting to Copenhagen Central Station. The journey takes approximately 15 minutes, though the Metro is more frequent during the day.
If you choose to go by Metro, there is a direct route from Terminal 3 in the airport to Nørreport Station. The hotel is less than a 3-minute walk from Nørreport. This was our route of choice from the airport.
The train in Terminal 3 has regular services to Copenhagen Central Station. Once you’ve arrived at Copenhagen Central Station, you can take the train (fastest) or the bus (cheapest). The train takes less than 10 minutes while the bus takes anywhere from10-13 minutes. If you’re taking the train, ride from Copenhagen Central Station (København H) to Nørreport Station. The hotel is less than a 3-minute walk from Nørreport. If you opt for the bus, ride until you get to Rådhuspladsen Street and walk from there to the hotel.
