Steel House Copenhagen | Best places to stay in Copenhagen

"A high-end hostel with seriously cool credentials, perfect for urban adventurers looking for an affordable stay. Once home to the Danish Union of Metalworkers, the building has an industrial design of steel, concrete and exposed pipework; form follows function with every square inch utilized. Dorms are divided between four and six-bed rooms, each with private pods, and there is a selection of tiny doubles and singles for greater privacy. Women-only dorms can also be requested. Practical plus points include a laundry room, kitchen and workstations with a selection of iPads; check-in can also be done via an app with a mobile phone functioning as a room key. Chill out in a lively games room, swimming pool and cinema, or join locals in the bar for some of the city’s cheapest craft beers. " - Sarah Marshall

Excellent place to stay for a family of 2 adults and 3 kids, when out most of the time. We stayed here for 3 night with our family we had a 6 bed room to ourselves. We found the beds very comfortable. The room was very clean, a bit small but perfect for what we wanted. The kids enjoyed the pool. The cafe and bar downstairs was perfect. You could make your own food if preferred. The atmosphere in the evening was buzzing. Could not fault it. Copenhagen is expensive so if you are only using the room to shower & sleep it’s perfect.

Snobby and indifferent staff. Super crowded place… like a train station. Rooms are tiny and overcrowded. No curtains or door on beds. Glass doors on shower and toilet doors are very loud at night and light pours out. Noise and light wakes everyone up. Coffee, beer, drinks, use of kitchen, gym, all are very expensive. First hostel ever that charged to use the kitchen. Even though the place is clean… I would not return.

It's a great place to stay in Copenhagen whether you’re travelling solo or with friends and budget friendly! I’d definitely come back again! Great concept, modern and great atmosphere. The facilities are absolutely amazing! There's everything you could possibly need: a kitchen, a gym, a lounge bar, a pool, an arcade, a TV room, and more. We had such a great time there! When we were tired and didn’t want to go out, we stayed there as there where already some events at night, so we had fun even though we where inside the hostel, which was fantastic! We were a group of five, sharing a 6 bed room with a private bathroom. Room was clean and comfortable, even though it was tiny. The location is absolutely fantastic! It's just a short walk from the main train station and close to all the main attractions, shops and restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay 😌

The facilities offered (swimming pool, cinema room, arcade, gym, lockers, etc…) are amazing for hostel accommodation and the price point. Each and every one of the staff encountered were fantastic and so helpful. The beer is the cheapest we found in Copenhagen and the food also reasonably priced and delicious. The location is amazing being a 5 minute walk from central station and Tivoli gardens. The steel house was one of the biggest highlights of the Copenhagen experience for the kids (15, 12, 11) and as we were checking out they were asking when can we come back again, always a great sign!

It is overall okay for me. There is a bar downstairs, it is a good option for solo or group travelers. For dorm room, it is no curtain, a bit lack of privacy. But the toilet and shower is okay and clean. There is locker inside the dorm room but you have to prepare your own lock. The location is 10-15 minute walk from city centre.

My partner and I had a brilliant stay at the Steel House Copenhagen! The hostel itself is in close walking distance to the station and to the city centre. We found the 6 person dorm room very comfortable, with clean sheets and soft pillows. The bathroom and shower were also clean and modern. The hostel amenities were brilliant too, we enjoyed an hour in the pool for just €3 and the lounge had plenty of areas to sit on an evening - you can either find a quiet spot or enjoy the various events they have timetabled. All in all, a great stay!

More hostel than hotel. Not ideal for families. We stayed one night. While the location is great and the place has a modern look, it didn’t meet our expectations. Steel House has high Google reviews and nice photos, which convinced us to book—but in reality, it feels much more like a hostel with hotel pricing. Our private room was very small, with barely any space around the bed. The bathroom wasn’t properly cleaned (see photo), and we were surprised to find that towels and cleaning are only included every 4 days, with extras available for a fee. Pool, gym, and other facilities also come with extra charges. It might work well for solo travelers or younger guests on a budget, but it’s definitely not the right fit for families or anyone expecting a full-service hotel experience.

Great great great hostel. I felt so safe as a woman and had so much fun. The pool is good but i did feel like a fish in the aquarium cause everyone can look inside. The study areas and kitchen was often being used but everyone was very respectful of each other and the rooms themselves were great to sleep in with a plug next to you for your phone and a hanging basket for extra small stuff like reading glasses

Stayed here for my trip to Denmark. Beautiful hostel with more of a younger crowd. They have various games, pool tables and arcade in the main lobby. There's a cafe with lots of seating. They also have a shared kitchen if you want to cook. Inside the rooms there's individual usb charging outlets on each bed - super convenient. They only thing they are lacking is a table and chairs inside the rooms. If you want to eat, you'll need to sit on the bed to eat or go downstairs to the lobby. The room was nice and clean. There is a pool but you need to pay for it separately.

We got one of the private rooms. The room was dirty and dusty, and the people who were supposed to clean the room never cleaned it the whole week we stayed there. There are cobwebs all over the balcony, spiders, and we found an acrylic nail by the sliding glass door. Filthy. Will not stay here again.

Affordable Great location Safe This was my first time at a hostel and I would definitely do it again. It was about $20 to stay in an all women shared room for the night. They also have "for all" too. if you prefer that as well. The bed was comfortable and the covers were warm. The bathroom and shower were clean. They had great amenities such as a fitness center, cinema room, arcade, bar, coffee, pool table and hangout room, some of which are an extra cost. If you have time to spare, walk across the street and check out the little trail to explore a bit.

I enjoy this place. Not too partyish and not too uppity. I was in the game room alot but also listened to their jazz band nightly. Next to the lakes take a nice walk. Movie theater not too far, their in a good spot next to plenty of places. Food and drinks little pricey but no surprise. Good spot to rest. Rooms nice and quiet but also depends on the people

Wonderful spot for a budget stay in pricey Copenhagen. We opted for two private rooms with terraces. Check in was quick and easy. Rooms are basic and small but fit the bill. The noise level was super low, allowing for a nice sleep. Both rooms could have used a better cleaning; hairs all around and the plants in the terrace were a mess. Also, some trash in the terrace area. Staff were great. Props to Stefan, from Croatia. He went the extra mile to help me with a problem with my car stuck in the parking garage. Mix of ages, chill vibe.

This was an amazing hostel. It really felt like a hotel. Super clean and new, comfortable beds, ensuites in the dorm rooms, lots of ammenities (shuffle board, cinema, tv-room, pool, gym, storage lockers, bar & breakfast) take note most the amenities had a small fee but not much. There were also activities like yoga and morning runs with the staff. Wifi through out. Only downside was the bathroom door was a bad design, didn't quite close completely and it was hard to get the latch to lock. The light sensor would turn off in the middle of your shower but stay on extra long when someone was done with the bathroom. The rooms are narrow and large bags won't fit in the lockers provided in the rooms and there isn't much space for them on the floor. Otherwise that, it's a beautiful hostel. Not too much mingling happening more of a hotel vibe but really nice place. The bunk beds were sturdy didn't make any noice when you come in late and all though they are closed in, they are tall so your not too closterphobic. And they have nice holders & plugs for your things. Would highly recommend this place. It's a great value for copenhagen and the location is right near the train station and trivoli. Oh and check-in/check out is super easy! So props.

For a hostel, this felt like staying in a luxury hotel, entire place was modern and clean, with a lively bar. Breakfast was a little underwhelming, but the hostel is in a great location. Highly recommend renting a bike for 24hrs, it's a great price!

This is probably one of the best hostels I have been to, i really do recommend you stay at Steelhouse if you are in Copenhagen. They do free tours everyday, you can rent out bicycles at an affordable price, they have a swimming pool and a gym. Copenhagen is an expensive city to eat out all the time best thing to do is do a bit of grocery shopping and use the kitchen at SteelHouse and I love that they have thought about having a kitchen you save so much money making your own meals. There so many positive things I can say about this place it ticked all the boxes, 5 Stars.

The stay and accommodations are pretty nice, especially for a hostel... My problem with this place is that they nickel and dime you for everything. Gym membership, games, even access to the kitchen. It's not really published well on the website and is very misleading. I am particularly bitter about the gym and extra cost since I chose this spot over another hostel for that exact reason. On a different note, the bathroom lights automatically turn off after a minute, which led to me getting a pretty back cut on my neck when shaving.

It's the year 2187, and your hostel in Copenhagen contains six pod-like beds that invoke your inner Luke Skywalker. Fit for a Jedi, your room is clean, uber-modern, and the room's brand new and brilliant shower makes you feel okay sleeping in because the 5-day weather forecast calls for cold, wet wet rain. That was basically my experience at Steel House. The weather sucked the entire time I spent in Copenhagen, so I spent most of my time catching up on my digital nomading work either in my room or their super spacious lobby.

I had booked a 3 night stay at Steel House 9 months in advance of my stay through Hotels.com. In February I reached out directly to Steel House and confirmed my reservation. I received a confirmation in writing from the Reservations Manager (withholding name). While I was in Norway (4 days before I was to arrive in Copenhagen) I received confirmation from Hotels.com that my booking is confirmed and the amount I will be charged at the hotel. The day that I flew to Copenhagen I received an email from Hotels.com says "sorry your plans changed". I think....my plans are the same. I immediately email Steel House confirming that my family was arriving that day and asking about transportation to the hostel from the airport. I received a response from the Booking Coordinator giving me information on how to get to the hostel and "looking forward to welcome you." I then show up - rainy day - with my family (two young kids) and go to the hostel. They tell me that I don't have a reservation. There was an email sent asking for "payment in full" that I did not respond to and they canceled after not hearing from in in 24 hours. The room was gone and they could not host our family. They could not prove that they sent an email. Nothing was in my inbox or junk mail. I showed them confirmation emails that I had received (including one from that day) and they said they could not help me. We had to find another hotel on our own. The person at the desk called another hostel for us and said they might have rooms and that was it. BEWARE. It is insane that they send some email...which could go to junk...and don't warn people to look out for this email. Nobody mentioned it previous to arriving at the hotel. If Steel House wants to be paid in advance then require prepayment when you book at Hotel.com. That is simple, other hotels required prepayment and we did it. They probably canceled my room so they could sell it for more - Copenhagen was packed that weekend!

MUSICIANS BEWARE!!! My partner was offered a gig to play music for an hour and a half on a Friday night. Originally, the bar manager said they offer a bed in a dorm, plus use of the pool and gym, as well as a food and drinks. We got back to her to say that we have our own apartment, we don't need a bed, gym or pool. So she agreed to let him play with a bar tab but wouldn't tell us what it would be. They will NOT pay their musicians. We show up on the night of the gig and the barman said all he gets is 3 beers and a sandwich (equal to about 18 euros for an hour and a half of playing plus set up and take down). This is LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE. What a slap in the face. He has been playing professionally for over 15 years across 4 continents. The average he would get paid in a bar is 100 euros PLUS a 50 euro bar tab. This is a skilled position that not a lot of people can do. He has been playing for 20 years to get as good as he is today. PAY AND APPRECIATE YOUR FREAKIN MUSICIANS! We did stay in the hostel for a week before all of this and thought it was average. It doesn't really have that hostel feel. You have to pay for literally everything (even to use the kitchen). Breakfast was pretty bad but edible. Room was extremely cramped (dangerous in terms of fire) for how expensive it was. Pool table needs replacing. Lights in the room are automatic and turn on even if you just turn over in bed. The room was not cleaned at all in the week we were there. Not enough soap in the dispensers. I'd choose somewhere else. You guys need to rethink your process and treat your customers and musicians better..

I looooved this place. 1st time staying in a hostel but we paid for our own room.....me and my husband. Rooms are small but has all the necessities. Close to lots of restaurants, train stations, and bus stops. Very convenient. It has a game room, a cafe, a lounge with board games, cards, jenga, a computer room (filled with tablets), a gym, a pool, and much more. I'd def stay here again and would highly recommend this place to those visiting Copenhagen.

This place has the worst customer service of any establishment I've been to that accepts money. One of the people in my room was being a complete a**hole and was snoozing his alarm every five minutes keeping the entire room awake at 5am in the morning. After fruitlessly trying to get him to dismiss the alarm instead of snoozing it several times for over an hour I went down to the front desk to see if there was anything they could do to help resolve the situation. Instead of offering help, or even apologizing that there was nothing they could do I was instead laughed off and told they "we'rent kindergarteners". I had no choice but to return to my room and continue the sleepless night with everyone else. Thankfully this was my final night in the place.

We had a great stay at Steel house. Very modern, clean and the staff was very friendly. We were happy to learn that we could rent bikes and that there was a great variety of activities at the hostel. A pool, games, TV/Cinema and a big kitchen. Good for families. The lobby is super cozy with a lot of space. Thank you for a great time!
