Cabinn Hotels

CABINN Hotels is a Danish low-cost hotel chain with eight hotels in the five largest cities in Denmark: four in Copenhagen, one in Aarhus, one in Odense, one in Aalborg and one in Esbjerg. CABINN Hotels is owned by the entrepreneur Niels Fennet.

History
CABINN Hotels was founded in 1990 by Niels Fennet, who was inspired by the practical cabins he and his family stayed in on a tour to Norway. He found that the cabin contained everything needed for a stay, and that its functionality made it possible to have it all in a small space. This concept he transferred to the hotel business.

Rooms
CABINN Hotels have four room categories to accommodate price levels. Economy is the cheapest and smallest room; Standard is the most common room and a little bigger. The two last categories, Commodore and Captains are the most expensive.

CABINN Express
CABINN Express is the first hotel to be built in the CABINN chain in 1990 in Copenhagen. CABINN Express is the smallest of all the CABINNs with 86 rooms and 260 beds. It is located at Danasvej 32 in Frederiksberg close to the city centre and Forum Metro station.
