Thorshavnsgade Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Thorshavnsgade Apartment, you immediately get that “local Copenhagen” feeling — this isn’t some sterile hotel chain, but rather a thoughtfully converted apartment building that actually feels like part of the neighborhood. The four-star property sits quietly on Thorshavnsgade, and honestly, if you didn’t know it was there, you might walk right past it. That’s part of its charm, though — it blends seamlessly into Amager Vest, which means you’re staying where actual Copenhageners live and work.

The Amager Vest Experience

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re technically outside Copenhagen’s city center, but you know what? That’s exactly where you want to be. Amager Vest has this emerging, creative energy that the touristy areas just don’t have anymore. There are local cafes where baristas actually remember your order, small design shops tucked into converted warehouses, and that authentic Copenhagen bike culture everywhere you look. The metro connection is solid too, so getting into the old town takes maybe fifteen minutes when you want those classic sights. It’s the kind of neighborhood that rewards exploration and genuine discovery.

The Apartment Setup

The rooms at Thorshavnsgade Apartment feel more like staying in a friend’s well-designed flat than a traditional hotel — which makes sense given the setup. Everything has that Scandinavian functionality you’d expect, but with actual personality. The kitchenette isn’t just for show either; I mean, you can actually cook a proper meal if you want to hit up the local markets. The space feels generous by Copenhagen standards, and there’s something refreshing about having plenty of room to spread out your stuff without everything feeling cramped.

Why Couples Keep Coming Back

There’s a reason couples rate this place so highly — it strikes that perfect balance between intimate and practical. You’ve got the privacy of your own space, but you’re also embedded in a real neighborhood where you can wander around and discover things together. The apartment-style setup means you can have lazy mornings with coffee from the local roastery down the street, or grab groceries and cook dinner while planning the next day’s adventures. It’s that “living like locals” experience that actually works, rather than just being a marketing phrase. The flexibility and authenticity keep guests returning year after year.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.4 location rating isn’t just numbers — guests consistently mention how the neighborhood surprised them in the best way. You’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the cruise ship crowds that you can breathe. The staff seems to genuinely care about helping you experience Copenhagen beyond the obvious tourist spots, and the apartment format gives you flexibility that traditional hotels just can’t match. Plus, there’s something satisfying about staying somewhere that feels authentically Copenhagen rather than generically international. This is where real travelers choose to stay.

Reviews of Thorshavnsgade Apartment

  • Gill from Canada – 25 September 2024 (8/10)

    Great size for gathering together. Perfect location for central city activities, restaurants, groceries and transport.. Lovely deck for .morning sunshine breakfasts.

    What could be improved: A tiny observation: the lighting was poor in some areas. A chair leg collapsed, dumping occupant on floor. Happened again after "fixing". Neither occupant hurt but surprised 🤨. Visitor parking difficult to find.

  • Maria from United States – 17 August 2024 (8/10)

    We liked there was a grocery store on the corner. As a family of 4 we stopped there daily for snacks, dinner items. Liked two bedrooms. Nice to have an elevator after a big day of walking while sightseeing. Building was very secure. Several restaurants across from apartment that were tasty.

    What could be improved: Needed on more chair in the den. We just used a kitchen chair but not super comfortable.

  • Anestis from Greece – 17 August 2024 (9/10)

    The location was perfect. Very close to city center. The apartment was clean and very modern with all the facilities and plenty of space for a family. The place was very quiet.

    What could be improved: One bedroom has not complete black out curtains, so the light was entering early in the morning. Not a big deal but it was the only negative thing.

  • Dorte from United Kingdom – 13 June 2024 (9/10)

    Clean, comfortable and central location

    What could be improved: N/A

  • Nigel from United Kingdom – 3 June 2024 (9/10)

    The location was great with easy access to the river, local attractions and services.
    The apartment was perfect for 2 couples with everything needed for food preparation.
    Thoroughly recommend.

    What could be improved: No dislikes.

  • Juliet from United Kingdom – 25 March 2024 (9/10)

    Great location, roomy and airy and very comfortable

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Alidma from France – 28 October 2023 (9/10)

    The apartment was very spacious and really well located. It was within walking distance to Tivoli Gardens and had parking in a secure parking garage.

    What could be improved: There is nothing to dislike if you choose this apartment.

  • Lurain from United States – 24 September 2023 (8/10)

    Good location, 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, elevator, airy & spacious

    What could be improved: Not enough shower gel, no facial tissue

  • Oliviaelt from United Kingdom – 4 September 2023 (9/10)

    Spacious, comfortable, well equipped apartment. Comfortable beds and good showers. Ideal location being easy walking to town but wonderfully quiet at night. Balcony great for sunny breakfasts eating delicious pastries from the bakery at the end of the block. Good transport connections and the airport bus goes from the end of the road. Very helpful lady met us on check in and gave us a good tour. A lovely place for a long weekend away.

    What could be improved: It could do with blackout blinds in the inner bedroom. I had an eye mask so it wasn't a problem, but the venetian blinds don't keep out much light. It's expensive but no more so than many others and you get what you pay for.

  • Guenter from Austria – 26 August 2023 (9/10)

    Perfect handover of the apartment! One has waited for us and explained everything to us.
    The apartment was perfectly equipped – there was just everything you need (from home-entertainment to laundry and kitchen)!
    Very good location! Stores, beach and bars / restaurants are nearby. You can reach the city center very quickly by public transport.

    What could be improved: There is nothing major to complain about. The freezer could be defrosted and a few old spices etc. removed. But that is complaining on a high level and did not really bother us.
