The Property — Scandic Glostrup
Scandic Glostrup is a reliable, no-fuss business hotel on Copenhagen's western fringe, with clean Scandinavian lines, a decent buffet breakfast and a small gym. It suits travellers who need a quiet, functional base near the motorway or a short train ride into the city centre, rather than seeking city-centre charm. Standing in the lobby, you get blond wood, muted greys and the hum of guests heading to meetings – efficient rather than characterful, which is exactly right for a 3-star work trip or a budget-conscious city break.
Chronicles of Copenhagen
Copenhagen grew from a 12th-century fishing village into the capital of Denmark, fortified in the 17th century under Christian IV, who left a legacy of Dutch Renaissance spires and the stock exchange's distinctive dragon-tail tower. After devastating fires and the English bombardment, the city rebuilt with neoclassical order, then embraced the modernism of architects like Arne Jacobsen. Today, it's a global food and design hub, its old harbour scrubbed clean for swimming, and its monarchy still housed at Amalienborg Palace.
Best Time to Visit
Full Copenhagen guide →Best months
June–August: long, light evenings, outdoor cafés, and temperatures typically 15–22°C, plus manageable crowds if you skip July's peak tourist weeks.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak for Tivoli Gardens, Roskilde Festival (nearby) and cruises; hotel prices double from spring lows, and advance booking is essential. Copenhagen Pride in August also spikes demand.
Budget shoulder season
May and September offer milder crowds, lower prices, and still pleasant weather (10–18°C); September has the culture night festival and fewer queues.
Weather & packing
Copenhagen's weather can shift from sunny to drizzly in an hour. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers – even in July you'll need a jumper for the evening.
Live City Briefing — Copenhagen
- The S-train line C stops at Glostrup station (8 min walk from the hotel); check for planned engineering works in July 2026, as DSB often schedules weekend closures.
- Copenhagen's new Lynetteholm island construction is ongoing, but no direct visitor impact – though the harbour bus (Havnebussen) remains the best way to see waterfront developments.
- July 2026: Tivoli Gardens runs its summer season until mid-August, with Friday rock concerts – book firework nights in advance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Scandic Glostrup, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) to minimize potential street noise from the main road. The hotel's lift is located on the ground floor, so rooms on higher floors may experience less noise from lift traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the lift, as they may be more prone to noise from guests and staff. Additionally, rooms near the hotel's main entrance may experience noise from the street.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address in Copenhagen doesn't provide a clear indication of a specific view option, as the city's architecture and surrounding buildings may obstruct the view from most rooms. However, higher floors may offer a slightly better view of the surrounding area, especially if you're lucky and get a room with a west-facing orientation.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that the hotel's location on a main road means some noise from traffic can be heard, especially in rooms on lower floors. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the city center may result in some background noise from pedestrians and other urban activities.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a shower instead of a bathtub, as Scandic hotels often have a more modern and efficient shower system. If you're planning to explore Copenhagen, ask the hotel staff for a city map and recommendations on the best routes and attractions to visit. They may also be able to provide you with a Scandic key card, which grants you access to exclusive offers and discounts at partner restaurants and shops.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Copenhagen
💡 Go early on a weekday before 9am to dodge crowds and see the boats come in. For cheap coffee, walk two minutes down to Café Norden on Store Strandstræde.
💡 Entry is free but you need to book a timeslot online in advance. Go straight to the first floor — the prehistory collection is the best part.
💡 Bring lunch and sit by the Hercules Pavilion at the north end — quieter than the main lawn and you can see the peacocks.
💡 Grab a map from the main gate to find the famous graves quickly. Best time is late afternoon on a sunny day when the light filters through the old trees.
💡 No photography on Pusher Street — it's a strict rule. Walk down to the lake and watch the swans. Try the organic vegetarian food at the Morgenstedet cafe; it's cheap and excellent.
