Good stay for a cheap price

Online check-in and check-out were smooth, many services and activities, good location.

They probably didn't clean the room during my 6-day stay, which became progressively dirtier as more guests came in.

Fabulous

Everything was great, I loved the position and the pool! Also the staff was great, especially the Danish guy on the afternoon shift who liked my glasses 🤓

Maybe just the fact that the lights in the shower and toilet have timers

Very good

It located well. All the things were clean. The staffs were friendly.

You must pay for lockers to drop off my luggage before check-in. You also have to pay for using kitchen. Except for that, everything was nice.

Common area with tables and bar was really good for having time.

The air conditioner was only up to 23 degrees, and the room was cold when we first entered. Since the AC was working in low degrees, we had hard times to get warm.

Good if you are travelling on a budget, but can become challenging if you stay many days

Relaxing areas have a lot of space, well equipped kitchen and optimal position next to train and subway stations

You have to pay for many amenities: the pool, the kitchen, the storage room for luggages, etc. I was in a 4 people dormitory, and the in-room bathroom implies a lot of noise with people using it at night or early in the morning. I would definitely add a shelf above the bed to place books, clothes, beauty case, etc, because the alternative is to use the (noisy) box every time, or the floor. I would also add a curtain because the privacy in very poor and you end up being awaken every time someone uses the light

Absolutely loved my stay everything was perfect, convenient, and super comfortable!

Just perfect! The common areas are spacious, clean, and well-equipped – with games, a pool, gym, bar, weekly activities, a lounge area, and convenient lockers. 4-bed room was clean and organised, and the bathroom was spotless. Everything is very well managed. Within walking distance of the central area and close to public transport, and only about 25 minutes from the airport. Highly recommend!

we stayed for 5 nights and they didn't clean our room or change or towels/sheets even though based on their policies they have to do it every 4th day. This was very disappointed and unacceptable. Other than that everything was quite ok.

We were staying two people.in mixed doorm. Loved that bathroom is in the room. Clean beds, new covers. Very kind and nice staff and tasty breakfast.

I should have thought of other people not being polite. There was a guy in our mixed doorm that would listen loudly to some music/videos (while showering so you cant ask them to stop) in the middle of the night while others was sleeping.

Good hostel

Good location, nice rooms and great activities. Movieroom was great to relax with Kids. Overall a good hostel, keeping In mind for the next trip.

We stayed for five nights, from saturday To thursday. There was a sign In the room which stated that they chance linens, towels and clean the room on the 4th Day. They didn't. There was no hand towels, no cups for brushing teeth and nothing to wipe the floors. Recommend on bringing your own mugs and handtowels to eaze things.

Wonderful communal facilities and great atmosphere. My favourite part was seeing guest from 2-70 all enjoying the space. We will definitely be back.

The top bunk was very high up without safety barrier. Would benefit from a panel to stop anyone rolling out accidentally!

great location, great price, brilliant facilities.

Really central, great facilities, very relaxed but also tidy, clean, well equipped, beds super comfy, price amazing, events on. We loved the cinema room idea, the duvets were the comfiest I have ever slept under! The bar prices are good in happy hour, there are things like table football and darts and pool - which is great. Great that bedding and towels and washing soap is included. We were able to hang out in the lounge area after checking out too. I enjoyed having the pool to myself - but that was just luck! Wish they had a sauna too though. I would probably book this hostel again if I came back.

You have to pay extra for everything - some things i minded less than others (like having to pay a couple of quid for a plastic cup). I guess if it keeps the costs low and you only pay for what you use, I guess it makes sense. The staff were good when you asked them anything but generally didn't seem too overwelcoming. We had a room to ourselves so that was great BUT if I was staying in a dorm i would NOT want to have to go into a toilet in the same room with only a sliding door between myself and the rest of the room. Also the sensor llights were great to save electric, but again, if I was sharing a room this would be extremely annoying as light comes from shower and bathroom into room.

It was very clean, great location, great facilities

You need to pay only once the kitchen to access it forever. As a solo traveler, I only wanted to stay for one night and it didn’t make sense to me to get an access card for the kitchen. It was still nice that they had a kettle free to use which allowed me to cook at least cup noodles.

Wonderful stay in Copenhagen

Location was very central, a stone throw distance from the city center (Stroger street, Gplyptoteket museum, etc) and close to Copenhagen Central Station. Easy to reach from the airport. In this regard, we really appreciate the "How to Get to Steel House Copenhagen" page on the Steel House web site, as well as the all other information listed on it. There are many facilities and entertaining amenities The staff are very nice and supportive. Lots of young people living here, but also many families with young kids. We really appreciated the kitchen area when we could cook and prepare out meals.

Rooms are small, but we really spent more time in the city than in the rooms. In the room, the wi-fi would sometimes get very weak at the point that our devices switched to mobile data.

Private double bed room- Great location staff really friendly. Bed linen of good quality and layout of room.

Bathroom light was automatic and went off when in shower the sensor didn’t reach to turn it back on. Overall cleanliness of room could have been better. Matress very stained but did have a mattress topper.

Great place, except atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, perfect location, super comfortable in every aspect: Close to the central station, only 15 minutes away from the airport and walking distance to the city centre! The property? It has everything, from arcade games to cinema , a pool table and a swimming pool!! They even organise events in the evening!! What you see in the photos is exactly what you’ll find, 100% real, no scams!!

I can’t think of anything.

Superb! Clean, trendy and cosy vibe!

Glad we booked this, travelling as a family of four with two young adults it is hard to find a familyroom. The word “hostel” made me scroll past this one at first, but a closer look made me happy! Spacious rooms with four separate cubicles to sleep in. Each cubicle with it’s own sockets (2), light and a very handy leather pouch to put your phone etc in. And our own very spacious bathroom. Everybody had his/her own locker/cupboard. The staff and other travellers were all very friendly and happy people. The hotel was very well kept, clean and had a cool and trendy look. The downstairs public area was welcoming with plenty of tables, couches, sockets for tablets/phones/laptops, games and multiple pooltables. It looked like a big cosy livingroom. And all this at an amazing price and superb location at a 5 minute walk from central station. We absolutely loved it!

Great place with exeptional choice of facilities

It's like a little city in itself: with guided tours, theme evenings, arcade and the cinema. It's endless. Very good bed and it was cozy warm.

I'd wish there was more privacy as in having curtain over the pod. While I had exceptionally well behaved and considerate roomies, the automatic light was still something that interrupted the sleep.
