Steel House Copenhagen is a fresh and modern hostel, located 5 minutes' walk from Tivoli Gardens and Copenhagen Central Station. It offers a café, bar and indoor pool.

My "roommates" were very nice, tidy, respectful and that's a blessing when it comes to the hostels! Yet as some comments suggested, bathroom is a misunderstanding... glass door with gaps in it light goes off every minute while showering - awkward experience. Hair dryer is quite weak. I'd preffer to have some common shower area on the floor, so I do not disturb my roommates while showering or drying my hair. I've noticed quite a few people at the reception complaining for they made a joined booking with a group of friends, but were split into different rooms. Rooms are really small, so this may get a bit uncomfortable staying with strangers. However there's not much to do in the dorms but sleep and shower. Kitchen super noisy, not well arranged, dirty, if you manage to put something inside the fridge - good luck looking for whatever it was the next day. People are keeping entire shopping bags inside the fridges. Also, definitely not enough mugs for crowded mornings. I know those are the guests who make the mess, but re-organizing the area and maybe keeping an eye if only guests with access use it could help improving the general state of the kitchen. I loved the rest of common areas. Cinema is an absolute gem after long walks.

Great idea and the fulfillment. Very cozy and comfortable. Plenty of showers and toilets, and they are clean. Everything works! The common area with the bar is excellent. Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast is basic but very handy.

Conveniently set in the center of Copenhagen, Next House Copenhagen provides air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge.

The kids LOVED the “space pods” the rooms were comically small, but worked- very functional. Unfortunately the arena wasn’t open when we were there, but the rest of the place is very cool. It has a zillion amenities, but they charge you for most of it.

The price was really good considered its Copenhagen. There was two large bathrooms with shower in the 8-person bunk room, which was great. A large lobby to hang out. Friendly staff.

Located in Copenhagen and with Copenhagen Central Station reachable within 2.2 miles, a&o Copenhagen Sydhavn provides a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

There were lots of silver bugs in the room. Compared to other A&O hotels, the children’s playground was very small, dirty and poorly maintained. The room was dirty. It is definitely not a clean and quiet hotel suitable for families eith small children.

Only a 5 minute’ walk from City Hall Square and Tivoli Gardens, This 24-hour hostel offers a popular bar with occasional live music.

Perfect location. Rooms are comfortable (room with private bathroom) however bathroom is very small - finally I used shared showers, which are very comfortable with place to put your belongings and clothes. Self check-in is a bit problematic and I noticed everybody had some issues. I paid for my stay but it asked me to pay again - the lady at the "reception" resolved all the issues and everything was fine. I love key-app. Easy way to open all the doors :). The only problem is when you have room in front of the pub which is on the next side of the street. During the weekend is very laud almost all night. On Friday I wasnt able to sleep until 4:00 am. Next evening I just purchased noise stoppers and it was quite fine to sleep however all the rooms with pub view should be much cheaper. I stayed 2 nights so simply just ignored that fact but when staying a bit longer - it could be really hard to get rest when audult people outside are screaming - yes, mostly screaming not just laudly talking. However - overall experience is great and I recommend this place :).

    Great location and easily accessible. Double pods were comfy and modern with lights, extraction fan and PowerPoints. Pin pad access was hit and miss but got there in the end. Great value for money in a city with limited hostels on offer when you’re on a budget.

    Kind staff well oriented to help and fix problems. The outlet in my bed didn't work and they inmediately changed me to another room before the check in. It was a better accomodation without extra charge. Good service. Really comfortable bed, good wifi conection, clean room, capsules with code which give you privacy and so safe to keep your belogings inside. Better location imposible, just in the Nyhavn. And all this for a cheap price. It exceeded my expectations, I would be glad to come back to this hostel

    Great combo of hotel & hostel. My solo room was bright, clean, and comfortable, though small. Lots of social space--games, pub, outdoor seating, events, buffet breakfast with good variety. Can mingle or be alone comfortably. Staff very friendly, helpful, and efficient. Great location--just two blocks from Kongens Nytorv & very close to many historic sites! Felt very safe. I'll stay here again!

    Rooms were really clean, small but good organized. I really liked how they put four people who had the same check in and check out date. Other than that the kitchen is very cheap to use, with a lot of options. I can easily say it was the best hostel I have ever stayed.

    Copenhagen is expensive, and this is a really good budget option. I had a private room with shared bathroom and was very pleased all round. The Hostel is busy with a seemingly non stop bar and warnings about it being a noisy place. I wasn't disturbed at all up on the 4th floor. My room was quite quirky with a train carriage theme - 2 bunk beds and a very comfy double. Shared bathroom directly across the corridor, which was very convenient. And a great location for exploring the city.
