Danhostel Silkeborg

Beautiful hostel! The hosts are absolutely delightful. The cleanliness is more than satisfying. The breakfast is overwhelming and has many homemade delights. The facilities are really nice, both on land and in water. Guests are nice to each other. Kids and adults will all have a good time.

I stayed for two nights at this hostel. I'd just come from Copenhagen and was going to hike and cycle in the Lake District.||||The hostel is very comfortable and clean. There's a kitchen, restaurant, laundry room, BBQ, basketball court, TV and lounge. I would say it's best suited to families, and the atmosphere was quite sterile. When I was there there was only a group of school kids and their teachers.||||Check in is between 4-6pm, and if you want to arrive earlier or later then you have to email ahead (which I didn't) as the shutter will be down and no one will be around. I had arrived at 2 and had hoped to leave my bags in a locker and go for a walk, but could not find anywhere - There are actually free lockers upstairs by room 7, but it's not made obvious.||||I had a small female only dorm, but was the only one in the dorm. It was very comfortable and clean, though I imagine it would have been very full if the other bunks were in use. The showers are great, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils you wold need.||||There are a lot of do and don'ts signs everywhere. One of them was 'You can not bring your own alcohol into the hostel, you must buy it from the reception', which is fine, but the reception is only open 8-12 and 4-6pm, neither are times I want to purchase or drink beer. I was staying in the low season so perhaps this is different when it's high season.||||Overall the hostel is great for a short stay, and I imagine if you're a family unit it would be great. The facilities are wonderful, really really good location. Close to the centre, to the supermarket, to the river, to the forest, to the train station. My only complaint was that it was quite a sterile, unfriendly atmosphere.

very nice, clean and well managed place to stay

Three women visited this hostel for two nights during the festival of wonder November 2019. Excellent rooms with a beautiful view, great beds, very clean. |Close to town. And a wonderful breakfast with homemade breads, jams, Nutella. |And a great kitchen where we could make our dinner and lunches. Kind owners and we appreciated every minute of our time. |In the summer, we could have even sat outside and enjoyed the nature. |We will be back!

ill start off by saying the rooms were not to my liking. I could never get towels washed or the trash emptied, the staff was very strict and harsh hard to find someone when I needed help, but keep in mind rooms are very small. The bathroom light made an odd noise when turned on. Although the food was homemade as people say I would go as far as to say it was good it was all plain food I stopped eating at some point cause I didn't want pasta salad for the 4th time. safe to say I will not be staying here again

Even though traveling with a child we only booked a twin room and ended up staying in the main building (room 10) which is probably not the best for a family with a toddler as the social area is underneath and people can be heard until 10 pm rather clearly. ;-) |Everything's clean, well taken care off and nicely decorated. The communal kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The manager is very nice and helpful, Yvonne really makes you feel welcome!

Fantastic place in the middle of Silkeborg, right next to water, forest, shops and restaurants. Excellent place for kids!||The breakfast buffet is a story of it's own: a very large selection of homemade/local made food. Go for it!

Very friendly staff, relaxed family atmosphere with plenty of room for kids to run around. Only 10 minutes into town to enjoy the cafes and bars and all the canoeing and mountain biking you need is not far away either. I'd recommend a trip on the lakes on the Hjejlen steam boat, built in 1861 and still used today. Again, only 5 minutes away and you get 15% discount at the hostel for this and other tourist attractions.
