A modern value hotel situated in a large slate gray building, Wakeup Copenhagen Carsten Niebuhrs Gade is a stylish property decked out in a hip minimalist aesthetic. Neutral black and white hues are brightened by pops of vivid color, like lime green and tangerine pillows that accent the black seating in the lobby. The sleek furnishings are paired with some fun details like fuzzy lime-hued area rugs and cool modern seating throughout. Potted plants and greenery here and there add some color. The lobby has a 24/7 reception desk, as well as kiosk reception machines for speedy service. With competitive rates and simple guest rooms, the property is aimed at budget travelers, but its stylish modern interiors make it feel more like a mid-range property. Guests here are mostly leisure travelers on a city break, but business travelers stay here too.

The hotel is situated by the water and off of the busy ring road motorway. It neighbors the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center, but there's not much in the immediate area -- which is mainly filled with large commercial properties -- beyond a steakhouse and a sushi restaurant. Nevertheless, it's a convenient location as it's a 10-minute walk to the central train station and around a 15-minute walk to Tivoli Gardens. Strøget, a popular pedestrian shopping street, is within a 20- to 25-minute walk of the hotel. Other popular attractions, like Nyhavn, the picturesque historic waterfront, and Rosenborg Castle can both be reached in about 20 minutes via public transportation. Copenhagen Airport is about a 15-minute drive away, or 25 to 35 minutes via public transit.

Rooms here are sleek and minimalist in style, with spare decor and a nearly all-white color palette livened up by lime-green curtains. The spaces are compact and feel almost pod-like; room sizes range from 129 to 161 square feet (12 to 15 square meters). They're divided into five different categories: Standard, Sky (which have slightly better views), Heaven (which have the best views and are usually situated on the building's top floors), Large (which add fold-out mattresses and can sleep up to three people), and Family Rooms (which are composed of two interconnecting Standard Rooms). All rooms have small desks, while other standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. There's not much storage space in the small rooms beyond drawers beneath the beds and a couple of hangers for clothes. Bathrooms are tiny, with capsule-like frosted glass showers set right in the rooms, as well as small sinks and toilets. Wall-mounted hairdryers as well as wall-mounted hand soap and hair/body wash are provided.

Though features here are fairly spare, the hotel does offer a handful of amenities and services that add convenience and value to a stay. Though it lacks a full restaurant, the property does have a spacious and inviting breakfast room where a buffet breakfast is available in the mornings for an extra fee. It includes freshly baked breads, cold cuts, cheeses, jams, yogurts, fruit, and coffee/tea. There's also a lobby bar that sells drinks, snacks, and sandwiches. The business center off the lobby features several computers that are free for guest use, plus there's free Wi-Fi throughout the property. On-site parking in a garage is available for a fee. Bike rentals are available through the hotel.
