About the dorm
Mariendalsvej is an ultramodern dorm for international students in a very central location.
Combined with its amazing location on the borders of Frederiksberg and Nørrebro—the two most popular areas for living and going out in Copenhagen—this makes Mariendalsvej perhaps our most popular dorm and rooms are often hard to get.
The building consists of several floors, with each floor featuring several shared apartments, where each tenant has their own room. The top (sixth) floor is reserved for staff only, so that staff and students live on separate floors. On most floors, there is also one room which comes with a separate private office beside it, which can be used as an extra bedroom.
Mariendalsvej is a good option for tenants who have a strong sense of community, and wish to enjoy modern facilities as well as the bustle of some of central Copenhagen’s most popular areas. Since all flats (except those for families) are shared, this dorm is a great choice for those who wish to mingle with their flatmates. This also means sharing — and jointly cleaning — bathrooms and kitchen. The two rooftop terraces are an attractive bonus (but please note: No smoking and no barbecues) and are perfect for relaxing in the sun and getting to know your international neighbours.
Conveniently, there is a gym underneath the flats, which many will find useful-however. Find more info about the gym here
About the area
The dorm is located on the border of Frederiksberg and Nørrebro. Frederiksberg is one of the most desirable and central neighbourhoods in Copenhagen, filled with shops, cafés, pubs, and parks—even Copenhagen’s zoo.
The large park Frederiksberg Have and the Copenhagen city lakes are nearby.
Access to the city centre is quick and easy, with many public transport options very close by. For nightlife, nearby Nørrebro, with all its live restaurants and music bars, can be reached easily on foot.
Things to do
In Frederiksberg, shops, cafés, and pubs are abundant and there are several libraries, music venues and museums.
The large park Frederiksberg Have extending into Søndermarken Park is close, as are the city lakes, making it easy for runners and walkers to stretch their legs. Frederiksberg Have also contains Copenhagen’s zoo and often the elephants can even be seen from the regular park.
For nightlife, the nearby and trendy Nørrebro area can be reached easily on foot. It is perhaps the most popular quarter for going out in Copenhagen, as there are lots of places to eat, drink, dance and experience live music.
But there is also much to see, for example the famous graveyard Assistenskirkegården, where celebrities and musicians are traditionally buried and the locals go for walks. Or the Red Square (Røde Plads), a hub for multicultural encounters and political rallies, where also many sports and music events take place.
