Steel House Copenhagen, hotel in Copenhagen

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.

I loved the vibe here - there were always lots of people hanging out on the sofas around the fire, playing pool etc. but you couldn’t hear any noise from the rooms. Very easy to check in/out. Good location close to the train station. The bed was comfortable.

Urban Camper Hostel & Bar, hotel in Copenhagen

Situated in the trendy Nørrebro district in Copenhagen, Urban Camper Hostel & Bar offers a new kind of hostel accommodation with 4-person dorms in the form of large, indoor tents.

The room was exactly what you would expect. It was my first time at a hostel, and I actually slept quite well. The bar below had a really nice atmosphere and the beer they had was surprisingly good craft beer.

Generator Copenhagen, hotel in Copenhagen

Situated 150 metres from Kongens Nytorv Square, Generator Copenhagen offers budget accommodation, a late-night bar and free Wi-Fi throughout the property.

I stayed in one of the higher category rooms. Room 635 on the top floor. You basically get a de facto private lift to the street. Room was well appointed. It's the standard generator design so it's minimalist but functional.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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.
