I am going to stay alone at the Zleep hotel in the Vesterbro area in Copenhagen in October. Reading reviews of the hotel I see reports of lots of prostitutes and homeless drug addicts hanging around it, and that there's lots of fighting and screaming on the streets during the nights.
The hotel seems to be located near both Istegade and Hamltorvet, which on Wikipedia are specifically mentioned as places with prostitution and drug trafficking.
How safe is this area of Copenhagen? Would it be recommendable to return alone to the hotel late at night?
Best Answer
With the hotel being in the middle of the Copenhagen red light district, it can't be a great surprise that it's noisy outside at night.
In this area, you are also most likely to see both prostitutes, drug addicts and dealers hanging around. I might be ignorant and wouldn't consider any place in Copenhagen to be unsafe, but is there a particular reason why you assume that these persons are a threat to your safety?

Answer 2
It is a safe as any other major city; just use common sense.
Keep your valuables in the hotel safe (carry photocopie of your passport for example).
In areas with a lot of people, always keep an eye on your stuff (wallet, bags...).
Do not look like a tourist... dress smart (as European mostly do).
Obvious: Do not participate in prostitution, do not participate in drug dealings...
Other than that, have fun, enjoy.
