Great Apt · Near Beach · CPH Overview

First Impressions

When I first arrived at Great Apt · Near Beach · CPH, I’ll be honest — the name doesn’t exactly scream upscale accommodation. But you know what? Sometimes the best places have the most understated introductions. This four-star property sits quietly on Lindgreens Allé in Amager Øst, and while it might not have the flashy facade of downtown Copenhagen hotels, there’s something refreshingly authentic about its approach. The building has that clean Scandinavian aesthetic you’d expect, but it feels more like discovering a well-kept local secret than checking into a tourist hub.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s where things get interesting — Amager Øst isn’t where most tourists end up, and that’s actually part of its charm. You’re genuinely in a residential Copenhagen neighborhood where locals live their daily lives, which means real bakeries, proper coffee shops, and none of that tourist markup you’ll find in Nyhavn. The beach proximity isn’t just marketing speak either; Amager Strandpark is actually walkable from here, and during summer months, it’s where Copenhageners go to pretend they’re somewhere warmer. The metro connections are solid too, so getting into the city center takes maybe 15-20 minutes when you want that classic Copenhagen experience.

The Apartment Experience

What struck me most was how this place feels more like borrowing a friend’s well-appointed apartment than staying in a traditional hotel. The space is thoughtfully designed with that Danish functionality — everything has its place, nothing feels excessive, but you’re not lacking anything you’d actually need. The kitchen setup is particularly good if you’re the type who likes to grab groceries from the local Netto and prepare simple meals (honestly, Copenhagen restaurant prices make this a smart move anyway). Large windows bring in that Nordic light, which is precious during the shorter winter days but absolutely glorious in summer.

Practical Comforts

The attention to detail here surprised me in small but meaningful ways. The Wi-Fi actually works properly — I mean, really works, not that frustrating hotel internet that cuts out during video calls. Heating is efficient and quiet, which matters more than you’d think during Copenhagen’s chilly months. The bathroom feels modern without being sterile, and there’s proper water pressure in the shower. These might sound like basic expectations, but you’d be surprised how many places get these fundamentals wrong. Storage space is generous too, so you can actually unpack and settle in rather than living out of a suitcase.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.7 location rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s that sweet spot of being close enough to everything while feeling removed from the tourist chaos. Couples particularly seem to appreciate the authentic neighborhood vibe and the space to actually relax together. You can walk to the beach for morning coffee, explore the local area during the day, then easily hop into central Copenhagen for dinner. It’s the kind of place that lets you experience Copenhagen like you’re temporarily living there rather than just passing through, and honestly, that’s worth more than any fancy lobby or concierge service.

Savvy travelers reserve a hotel in Copenhagen before cherry blossoms paint Bispebjerg Cemetery and lakeside paths.

• Krisztina from Hungary – 18 July 2024 (7/10)

  Spacious apartment, sophisticated furnishings, good location.
  
  What could be improved: We started the day of arrival by cleaning up. There were chocolate wrappers, used tissues, bags under the beds, the cupboard opening was greasy and dirty, full of food waste, the filter had to be cleaned, it was not filled with salt so we had to take it in.The inside of the washing machine was dirty , the bathroom extractor fan was black with dirt, the tiles were mouldy. Carpets were dirty, stained. The windows were very dirty, I did not clean them 🙂 It would be a very nice apartment if they paid attention to maintenance and cleanliness. The walls are also quite dirty, could do with a clean paint job.

• Amanda from United Kingdom – 1 July 2024 (9/10)

  Fabulous location for the purpose of our stay, well appointed & equipped and good shopping facilities nearby
  
  What could be improved: Extremely hot and difficult to get air in, and would have been nice to be able to regulate the temperature inside. Fans provided but not great

• Rhuk from United Kingdom – 5 June 2024 (9/10)

  The location is great, within a 15-minute walk from the beautiful Amager beach. It's also a 10 minute walk to the nearest metro, which is very convenient. There are good grocery stores and coffee shops a short walking distance from the apartment where you can get everything you need. The apartment has a lot of space. It is actually one of two, three bedroom apartments in a single story block located in the middle of a block of flats. The neighbourhood is very family orientated and so the area has a very safe feel at all times. Each of the three bedrooms are very spacious and the beds are super comfortable. There is also a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and you have use of a washing machine and tumble dryer, which is very useful. The main lounge is spacious with a large dining table and a tv where you can access your amazon or netflix account.
  
  Hosts were very helpful. And the entry code system is easy, no need to worry about a key. Refuse and recycling facilities are close by.
  
  What could be improved: The large windows are amazing and each have curtains for privacy. The location, in the centre of an open flat development does take some getting used to. But as mentioned, is a nice and safe environment.

• Malgorzata from Poland – 26 May 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: The bathroom needs little refurbishment/cleaning
