Danhostel Copenhagen City

This was my second stay at the hostel, and this time, I chose to go with the Standard+ option, which gives you a room in the upper levels with amazing view of the city center. Based on location, and the lobby, it's very easy to forget that this is a hostel and not a hotel. As such, it lacks amenities you would expect from a hotel, such as TV in rooms, room service or the fact that you will need to make your own bed. A breakfast buffet is available for additional cost, but you also have access to facilities if you prefer to cook your own meal or do your own laundry. Perfect for backpackers, families or visitors who don't mind the work and want to save some money. Because considering location, view, and service, the prices are unbeatable by any hotel. So the question is really what are you willing to forgo in order to save money. Personally I don't mind the lack of TV or room service, so the fact that 3 nights stay costed me less than what nearby hotels charge per night, I feel it was worth it. Highly recommended and will return next time I need to get into the office for a few days and just need a bed to crash for the night.

We stayed in a Standard+ private room with ensuite bath. This hostel is in a 10 story modern building. Standard+ meant we were on a higher floor with a better view and got a later checkout. It’s near the train station and near plenty to see, do, and eat. As with most hostels the room wasn’t fancy but it was spacious and had everything we needed. As with other hostels we stayed at in Scandinavia, you make your own bed with provided linens. We didn't try the breakfast though lots of other people did. We did get coffee, which was good.

Not for me. I knew we had to make our own beds but when that reality comes and you're tired from travelling no one wants to do that. Thats why you go away right!? They have a weird, expensive lift system that I would scrap for someone to make the beds. I'd have even paid more for that option. If I was in my twenties perhaps it wouldn't have mattered. There isn't any shelving to put things, or anywhere to hang clothes so if you like having your luggage all over the floor and no where to put your things then this is the place. No way of gaining privacy from the window apart from shutting the curtain. |The walk to and from the hostel was cold and long. No nearby subway. The reception staff were ok, just lacking any warmth or good welcome. |We booked for 5 nights, stayed for one night before we got accommodation elsewhere. I don't recommend for families and I should have known better!

Location was great, truly one of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever stayed at! Staff was super nice. My only caveat was people in my room seem to be living there long term vs tourists visiting so it was hard to relate

Well, you need to pay for everything. You also need to take the bed linen on the first floor on your own. After stay, you have to drop off it by yourself. The rooms are kind of good, they look not fresh at all. No soap and shower gel, need to pay for it again. Check out is at 10:00, need to pay for check out at 11. Stupid. The experience I would like to avoid in the future

My friend and I had a comfortable stay at this hostel. The beds are super comfortable and rooms are spacious as well. It's very walkable to the main Street and the attractions around and the view of Copenhagen city is amazing as well.

Our 4th trip to Copenhagen and always stayed at the Next hostel just down the road from Dan but fancied a change up. ||We stayed 19th-24th December so very christmassy time. Minnie and Micky were prodding displayed outside the building. Beautiful bridge and water right next to Dan. ||Lovely entrance with seating place to relax and watch TV. Little art area for the kids and a weird AI lady who didn't change her clothes once for our entire stay! ||The reception lady Fanni (sorry spelt wrong) the most beautiful and friendly Icelandic lady helped us complete our booking and was very helpful throughout. A+ for her. ||The lifts were extremely over complicated and had many guests scratching their heads as there were no controls inside and you had to guess which lift to stand by! But, they all worked and readily available (unlike Next) ||We were on floor 2 and our room was extremely disappointing. Sparce, no view and as always, no bath mat! So, water everywhere and wet pj bottoms. No shelf to put your toiletries. But, the shower was wonderful! Hot and good pressure. ||The room was clean and lovely staff cleaned and emptied bins every day. Although, 3 different places for recycling etc but lady chucked everything in a black bag so pointless and amusing to watch. ||Beds were comfy and you have to collect bedding from reception and make your own bed. Which I think is fine. The towel was small and thin but I replaced mine every day because you need 2 at least for body and hair. ||I have to say floor 2 appears to be the party young person floor. I'm 50 and didn't need the constant drunken screaming and shouting from my neighbour's (boring I know) I'd def ask for a higher family floor if I went back. ||The kitchen was free to use and this was the disappointing part. I wish we had to pay as Next do as the kitchen in Dan was pretty dire. It's too small, the fridges were too small. Not enough boxes. Only 3 tables so 3 families at a time and just not very well equipped. On 2 occasions we couldn't eat till 10pm because the kitchen was being used, all 4 ovens. Lots of kids and people but obviously you don't know this till you've trailed in the lift and walked in as the door had no glass which is nit picky but then you have to wait for the lift again to leave! ||We took our food back to our room (forbidden) or we couldn't eat on some nights. ||Our cards didn't work throughout our stay despite having them reprogrammed twice and we had to hope the door was open or a person was in there to let us in. We had to leave food in the fridge when we left because we couldn't get in to get it. ||We stored our bags on the first day and it's just a forgotten store cupboard with discarded towels and umbrellas. Not secure at all as the code is on the door. Next have fancy lockers for each individual stayer. ||My review sounds a bit negative but to be honest for the price it was ok. I'm not sure if we would stay again just for the kitchen aspect. It was half the price of the Next hostel so we can't complain. It was a nice stay. ||We didn't use the bar so can't comment on it

Had an excellent stay. The room had all the necessities we needed with plenty of space for a family of 8. Views from the 14th floor were a real bonus. |Thank you for this pleasant experience.|We would certainly return and stay in this hostel again.

This is the perfect place to stay when traveling with family. Our most recent stay/last visit was December 2017. Rooms are exactly as pictured, very clean layout and bathroom is simple yet modern. We always book the standard family room. Online reservation system is very easy to use. During each visit, staff has been attentive and polite. Check-in was easy and upon check-out, linens must be returned/dropped off in the lobby. I highly recommend this hotel due to overall experience and location. You cannot get a better deal elsewhere and it's not your typical hostel.

Copenhagen isn't cheap so finding options for lodging isn't the easiest sometimes. Danhostel was a great choice for our family. Family rooms at hostels have worked for us more often than not. I'm too light of a sleeper to share a dorm style room but the family rooms for three of us work out perfectly. We stayed here two nights and everything was fine. It was easy to check in and out as well as this is a great location in the city. It's an easy walk from the central station and public transport works were here to get you where you're going. You can also store your luggage here as well as rent bikes making it an even easier choice. It really is all about location here. It's close to Tivoli Station, close enough to see the fireworks even from the higher rooms. It's easy to get to the museum island and since it's such a bike-friendly city it's easy to get anywhere. Our room and bathroom were clean and we had no issue with our stay. We'd stay here again easily!

Copenhagen is a very expensive city. Budget travelers like me resorted in staying at hostels and even hostels are relatively expensive compared to the general hostels elsewhere. On our travel this time, I booked a double room with ensuite bathroom for hubby and I to stay in. We booked via hotels.com ahead of time but you can also book via their website, for a good rate if you choose nonrefundable option. Checking in was fast and efficient, they didn't ask us to pay for the linens, it looks like it's now free, you still have to make your own bed though and no housekeeping, they only empty the trash in the room daily. As we entered the room, there is the bathroom on one side of the wall and 4 lockers (you have to bring your own lock). We use the lockers to keep some clothes but just locked our suitcases with valuables. There are 4 beds in our room, 2 twin size bed that's pushed together forming a larger bed and 1 bunk bed (2 beds), a small table and two chairs. There are plenty of plugs for your electronics but if you should bring your own adapters if you're not from Europe and your stuff has differed type of plugs shapes. There is NO A/C in the room but the window can be opened and there is no screen but thankfully we didn't see insects coming in to the room during our stay. Pur room was on the 5th floor, facing the water. We could hear traffic from our room but thankfully we're not light sleepers. Getting a room facing the back alley might be quieter. You can rent hairdryer (you pay 100 kroner and they return 80 kroner when you return at the end of your stay) and adapters from the front desk and there is a guest kitchen with utentsils and everything you need to cook a meal (you need to buy your own grocery and spices). The coffee maker, hot water boiler and microwave didn't look clean though.... There is also a laundry room. To access these area, you'll need to borrow an access card from the front desk. Overall, it was a nice stay. You can take bus 5c to and from the airport to reach the hostel and it's a couple minutes walk to the hostel. Bus 5c also tales you to places in the town, very convenient. You can easily walk to Tivoli, the city hall (rashudpladssen?!), glyptoketet, and stroget (shopping street) about 10-15 minutes. Our room was clean..the only thing to note is that the shower door does not seal, so water will splash to the sink area so basically it is a "wet bathroom" which seems to be the typical thing in Europe. Bring your own toiletries and your own wash rag and towel (if you want bigger fluffy ones). It was fairly quiet but a school group arrived on our 2nd night and the kids would be banging on each other door all night long and we were too lazy to go downstairs to complain.

Stayed for a week here. The rooms are clean and they clean the bathroom often. It is noisy from the busy road outside of the window. The food was good at the restaurant downstairs. They supply you with a towel and bed spread. Stayed in a 8 bedroom shared and had no problem with space or roommates. Very busy place. Thanks.

I stayed at this hostel for two nights with a large group, and I thought this hostel was definitely one of the best I stayed in Europe. I stayed in an eight person bedroom that had its own bathroom inside. What I liked about this place was the location. The central station and Tivoli Gardens is a few minutes walk away and you could reach the city hall in less than 10 minutes. There's also a bridge nearby this place where you could get a nice view of the canal. You can walk to a lot of places in less than 30 minutes such as Nyhavn, the Christiansborg Palace, and even Christiania. The bathroom was very clean, and I liked the fact that the room had its own bathroom. The room is not very spacious when you are sharing with seven other travelers, so you should be careful with your luggage. The beds were fairly comfortable. Wi-fi was more reliable in the lounge than in the actual room. I also enjoyed the nice view from the windows of this hostel, so it was almost like staying in a basic hotel. One major thing I did not like about this hostel is the fact that they charge you for certain things. Charging for linen and towel rental is ok if you want extra comfort but charging 5 DKK for a glass of water from the bar is a little too excessive. Overall, I would recommend this hostel if you are a first time visitor to Copenhagen because of its central location.

Remember that you have to rent your own sheets. Nice location. I had a single ensuite but if I'd been sharing I would have been dismayed at the infrequent and cursory maid service. Advice from the reception desk was accurate and polite regardless of whom I asked. The vending machines in the lobby were nice. The restaurant ignored and barely inhabited. I didn't look at the basement laundry or kitchen. There were many families in addition to the typical global backpacking types.

As good as it gets. I have nothing to complain about as its price is the only place I can afford in Copenhagen. I have been staying here for 2 nights in private room (4 beds) better than paying twice in other hotels in the area. By the way, it's located near Tivoli and 10 mins walk from the prime area. 4 stars for cleanliness and 5 stars for services of staffs at concierge.

I was afraid to stay in hostels after a bad experience in Paris. But I am on a budget so I took my chances. So happy I stayed here!! Clean rooms and they actually wash the bed sheets! Thank you danhostel for changing my perception on hostels in general. You just need to do your research for the good ones. Cheap beer at the reception. And fun people staying there. The kitchen was clean!!! Made dinner with the roomies..would definitely recommend this place!

Not the worst, not the best. I do not recommend the breakfast buffet--unless you like open-faced sandwiches... our room was very basic. A BIG plus is that it is in a great location.
