Hostels in Hovedstaden, Denmark

This is a large, well-equipped hostel with comprehensive facilities (though some require extra payment). There are many rooms, and for those who enjoy socializing, the spacious common areas provide great opportunities to meet like-minded travelers and explore Copenhagen together. The rooms are very clean and spacious, even featuring a backless bench for sitting while putting on shoes or placing luggage. There’s also a private shower room inside the room. Personally, I’m not a big fan of having ensuite shower rooms in hostel dorms, since guests often have different schedules—it’s easy to disturb one another, and I always worry about making noise. It would be great if each floor could offer a few additional shared showers and washrooms. In addition, the hostel provides personal lockers and towels, which is a big plus. However, the wall hooks in the room are quite impractical—clothes often slip off. Also, it seems there’s an extra charge for luggage storage after check-out, though the use of individual lockers does make it more secure. Overall, the value for money is excellent, and I highly recommend it for budget travelers and backpackers.

My stay at a&o Hostel København Nørrebro was a mixed bag, leading to my 3 out of 5 rating. On the positive side, the hostel does offer a shared kitchen, which was a great amenity. It allowed for budget-conscious travellers like myself to prepare some of our own meals, saving money on dining out in Copenhagen. This flexibility was definitely a plus. However, the breakfast provided by the hostel was very simple. While it served its basic purpose, it lacked variety and wasn't particularly exciting. It would have been nice to have a few more options available to start the day. Overall, a&o Hostel København Nørrebro provides a decent budget accommodation option, especially with the inclusion of a shared kitchen. However, those looking for a more substantial and varied breakfast might be left wanting. The 3-star rating reflects this balance of a useful shared kitchen against a rather basic breakfast offering.

We had the pleasure of spending a few days at this beautiful hotel – and we highly recommend it! The location is unbeatable: central yet quiet, with many attractions, restaurants, and cafés within walking distance. We felt completely at home and would return anytime.

Steel House Hostel was great for my 4 day stay in Copenhagen. I stayed in a 6-person women's room, and got assigned an upper bunk. The room was quite nice (a bit cramped but nothing out of the ordinary), and I liked how high the bunk was- above head height when people were standing, so it didn't feel like others were in my space, and there was plenty of space to sit fully up in the bunk. Bed and pillow was comfy. Lockers were a good size (fit my carry on suitcase plus a backpack; others had bigger suitcases that didn't fit), but the locking mechanism was a bit challenging- basic idea but seemed to be mechanical issues). There was a thermostat that could be set as low as 17C (~63F), which was the setting in my room, but this didn't work well- it was definitely in the low 70s (F) in the room and felt quite warm for sleeping. The fans in the bathroom and shower (separate, which was good for a shared room) didn't seem to work (no knob apparent for the shower; there was a knob in the bathroom but it didn't do anything), so the room got humid after one or two people showered. The hostel is huge, and almost more like a hotel. WiFi was spotty or absent in the room, but plenty of common areas to sit or work downstairs. Kitchen was frequently used, and I took advantage of the kitchen fridge for having skyr and fruit for breakfasts (costs 25DKK for your whole stay). I also rented a bike for a couple days. It seemed overpriced (~135 DKK for 24hr) but can't beat the convenience, and the bike (standard city cruiser) worked just fine.

It was acceptable, but lacking good facilities, good service and good food. As a budget hostel it does its job, you are located in a good area and it’s walkable to many attractions, metros stations, shopping, restaurants and bars. But the facilities are basic with the shower spraying all over the bathroom, a tiny sink and cramped room. This is coupled with a run down feel of the whole place including the loft that clearly needs some maintenance. We were also confused by the hotel storing large trolleys around our room making it like a maze to get into. The last thing that was disappointing was the breakfast, dry bread, basic ham, limited choices and the same each day, definitely avoid this rip off and underwhelming experience.

Copenhagen Downtown Hostel – Capsule Stay Review This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel in Copenhagen (£80 per night), after hearing positive feedback from friends who had travelled here. I decided to try the quiet zone option with a comfortable capsule located near the hostel facilities. Pros: • Excellent location in the heart of the city, with restaurants, bars, and cafés within walking distance. • Easy access to all main attractions. • The capsule area was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, I left with mixed feelings. While the location and cleanliness met expectations, the hostel’s operation style felt more “self-service” and less attentive to guest concerns. On the first night, my sleep was disrupted by a guest in the quiet zone who was both noisy and snored loudly throughout the night. It affected everyone in the vicinity, and despite some guests (myself included) gently knocking to try and reduce the disturbance, it continued until morning. On the second night, the same issue occurred, but it was made worse by a sudden emergency alarm at around 4:45 AM, requiring all guests to evacuate and wait outside for inspection before returning to bed. Understandably, safety comes first, but the timing and the combination of disturbances made it impossible to rest. When I tried to contact staff in the middle of the night, there was no one available, so I had to raise the issue through Trip.com. Although staff later offered some coins as a goodwill gesture, it did not feel proportionate to the £80 per night rate... especially when nearby private rooms can be found for much less. Sadly, what I hoped would be a unique and comfortable stay turned into a frustrating experience. I will not be returning, and I would advise light sleepers to consider alternatives.

I slept in women tent. The staff is super nice. And super useful guide to explore Copenhagen if you join the WhatsApp group. There’s port on bed for charging. A locker for you to put stuff. And the location is fantastic. Easy to get around the city by transportation nearby. They don’t have a kitchen but you can buy food to eat in the bar and there are many cafes, McDonald’s, street food and bar nearby. They have big washroom and seperate toilet and washroom that you dun have to worry about peeing yourself. And they have a bar. The room space is not big. And there’s many dust under the charging port on bed. But overall I think it’s fine.

酒店是青年旅館，但是出乎意料挺自在，工作人員都很和善，後面一個沙灘，還有早餐雖然比較簡單但是基本該有的也有了。離中央車站1，2公里，走路25分鐘左右，打車100多rmb，公交也有，我們沒坐，所以不清楚價格，和酒店無關感覺這個城市公共交通不太便利。

Right on the street of Xingang, the house is also a popular check-in spot for tourists, and there are several specialty restaurants downstairs. It’s a bit difficult to walk through those stone streets with a suitcase
