Steel House Hostel, Copenhagen

Pool

The social areas are nice and cozy, the rooms nice and clean. Very central location. In the 6-bed room each beds has its own light, two plus and USB plug as well as a wall 'bag/shelf' inside the bunk to put your phone/waterbottle etc

Only one thing, the rooms have no coathangers and the tiny hooks are not too easy to hang stuff on and for some clothing items it can be a bit damaging to hang on something like that. Also, the censor for the light in the shower could not see the movements in the shower sonlights went out and you had to open the shower door a bit for it to come back on. No biggie.

Location, games , activity programs

Rooms could have been a bit more cosy

Friendly staff. Amazing position within the city. Organised hangouts with host Mati were fantastic to meet and connect with other travellers.

Bed had no curtains. Using the facilities cost extra, e.g. kitchen (even if you just need a mug).

Great location, walking distance from city center and main train station. Great facilities

The private room is extremely small, two people cannot move at the same time

The location and the amenities.

I was in a room for 6 girls and I feel like the toilet door could have been thicker for the noise and maybe not have the light turn on every time someone got close to the door.

Lots of good tables to sit around in comfy chairs, food and drinks available, comfy beds, personal lockers.

The steps for climbing up to the upper bunk are slippery if you are wearing socks. The locker doors shut with a bang.

Access to pool, city centre location close to all amenities. Lovely friendly vibe in the communal areas.

There was a street party/nightclub next door that was quite noisy late at night

Have to pay a lot of extra

i liked the pool and the kitchen with all the labeling system, staff was really nice and helpfull.

glass doors on the toulet and shower. theyre very close to the beds that are avcross it so you can hear everything and also its very light for people sleeping

Propably the best hostel in Europe. Everything perfect, super clean, super easy checkin with an app, amazing price and location.

Fantastic location, knowledgeable and helpful staff, brilliant vibe and atmosphere, clean and comfortable room and I loved the inclusive way the lounge was organised so that you could have a drink at the bar whilst eating your own food from outside.

Its good value for money

The bedsheets on my bed is itchy. I just did not complaint anymore while I am currently in the hostel coz I will only be staying for 2 nights. It seems the bedsheets was not changed.

A top-notch hostel and excellent value. Very complete, well-maintained facilities (incl. a small pool and gym!). A few notes that might help other guests: 1. Their room categories are a little weird. The room photos are more accurate than the descriptions/icons. Sometimes "a bunk bed" means one bed in the stack of two, and sometimes it means the stack with both beds. A "Single" and a "Twin" are the exact same room, with 1 Full bed. I booked a Private Twin (which in standard hotel terms would mean a room with 2 separate beds) and got a dorm room with 3 stacks of bunk beds (6 beds total); I was assured that it was the correct room, and private, but I couldn't help but feel like 5 strangers were going to show up to occupy the other beds, and I can't possibly use so many bunk beds myself, so I asked to change to a Private Room with Terrace. Fortunately, there was one available. 2. The private Single/Twin rooms do not have a closet or lockers. The only storage space is an open cubby hole under the bed. The hole is big enough for 2 carry-on-size suitcases. There are 2 small wall hooks behind the door. Compact! 3. The front-desk staff are all nice people, but I found the women staff to be more helpful than the men in terms of anticipating what I'd need to know. The dudes seemed to assume guests already know everything. For example, Dude: Here's your key. Dudette: Here's your key, and by the way, the key app isn't working right now so just use your key in the elevator and door. Or another example, in response to a request to rent a bike: Dude: Okay, that's 100kr, here's the key. Dudette: That's 100kr, here's the key, you have the bike for 24 hrs, the bikes are around this corner and through the door in the courtyard, just find the one with the same number as your key; when you're done, just park the bike and bring the key back.

May be useful for some people to know: as of April 2026, there is construction in a couple of buildings adjacent to the hostel, with materials and equipment in the street. On some nights, I noticed 1, 2, or 3 homeless people sleeping/encamped outside those buildings. They didn't try to bother me, but their presence might make some guests (like solo women or families with small children) feel uncomfortable. Easily avoided by walking around the block on the side next to the lake. (I didn't note any other construction-related issues.) The ground floor lobby/cafe/work/social spaces music is often really LOUD, like the hostel is doubling as a disco (which is kind of the high-energy "New York" vibe that it advertises). If you want some Danish 'hygge' or quiet to work or chat, you may have to find a nearby cafe or bench by the lake.

Clean, friendly, great location, kitchen, luggage storage

Noisy street from one side, but not a big deal really, all the drunks went away after midnight

Bed was comfy and bathroom was nice

Additional payments for gym, pool, bike

Good location

Very very small rooms

Close to the main station Quiet

No foot rug in the shower room.

The kitchen is awesome, and the swimming pool and the staff super friendly. The location is great as well.

I didn't like that we needed to pay for everything else on top of the room. Had to pay, for swimming, kitchen and almost all the games. It is really expensive to pay for such a small room and they said the room would be clean every 4 days, we were there for 6 and it wasn't clean once.

Great property, very comfortable beds, excellent facilities and a very good location for exploring the city on foot. A short walk to the central train station. The staff are very friendly too.

I stayed with my teenage children for 3 nights (Wed-Fri). We booked a private room. It was perfect until the Friday night; very noisy and we couldn’t get to sleep until about 1am. Otherwise no complaints

Great location and access to the city centre and train station. The reception area has a bar and cafe, lots of seating to relax and hangout.

Nothing, it was as expected.

Due the circumstances of cancellation in train traffic in Copenhagen I saw this as a perfect opportunity to stay at one of my favourite hostels. What I liked about it is the 1. comfort of beds 2. sociable people and 3. great location.

Something I didn’t like was perhaps the constant lights that went off and on when you entering the bathroom. Mostly for other peoples point of view while sleeping in the dark . I would be one of them . Perhaps there’ll be more of a light switch, instead as a suggestion. Nothing more to say . I love this place.

The location. Near to the train station and many restaurants. The people there were so nice.

The room was somewhat small, but I suppose that was to be expected.

Clean and perfect for a city trip. Small but everything you need in a hotel room

The location is good and the beds were quite comfy. A female dorm was fairly quiet.

Unfortunately the fact that this hostel charges extra for the use of the kitchen is absolutely insane. I´ve been staying in hostels for 20 years and I´ve never seen this before. Also the dorms are very tiny, I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm and there was no room to open your suitcase and there was just one toilet and one shower. You can imagine the problem when 6 ladies want to use it in the same time. You also hear everything through the glass doors. No big communal toilets and showers available where you can go without queing. There was a sticker that the bathrooms are cleaned every 4th day and the cover of the toilet seat was hitting me in the back everytime I sat down. Not pleasant at all.

I'm really satisfied with my choice. My neighbours were very polite and quiet. The bathroom was properly cleaned. The room fully met my expectations. The location is within walking distance of Copenhagen's tourist attractions.

Keep paid luggage storage in your mind.

The beds were very comfortable although you could hear through the walls or through the windows

We had to wait to use the kitchen. The oven trays were filthy

The staff is super friendly and helpful. I love the facility that there is a gym to work out.

Vibrant, full of people, affordable price for private room in Copenhagen

The shower water is not hot enough for my standard

Location is great Cozy common areas Plenty of facilities Comfortable beds

A curtain around the bed would be great. Sensor light in the bathroom The room got very hot.

The facilities are great! They have a well equipped kitchen, swimming pool, game room, bikes to rent, place to work and a nice (and a bit pricey) bar. The rooms were well planned and comfortable. Easy access to public transportation.

Drink prices a bit above the average.

Very modern, friendly and comfortable stay. An amazing location to be so close to the centre

Our room was a little bit on the small side but that's what we paid for. The bathroom door was a sliding door that didn't close properly.

Great location and love the fact of having gym/pool available.

They didn’t have any extra pillow but we found a solution. Also it seems the rooms are cleaned every 4 days, a bit more often would be perfect.

The overall facilities were great, very organized and clean.

Several lockers in my room were broken, and two of the inhabitants had taken over the floor, empty bed, and available windowsill space with their multiple bags and large suitcases. I complained to the front desk that it was physically not possible to get to the beds near the window but they didn’t do anything as the girls in question (definitely not ladies) were out partying. Hostel was great but clientele was hit or miss.

hassle free check in and check out

wifi barely worked

Great location, bathrooms in the rooms, the common area facilities were really nice and always busy in a good way, felt like a place people wanted to hang out

No curtains on the bunk beds, this could be a simple addition for a bit more privacy

The kitchen and the view over the lakes

It was too hot in the room, and I wish the beds would have curtains for privacy. I wish there was more comfortable spots to work, most spots has a lot of light, so if you need to sit and work on the computer it’s not ideal unless you choose a time where there it shadow. The music also quite loud. It would be great with an area that’s good for focused work.

Everything was good. Its all very modern and the facilities are good, especially the cinema. It has more of a hotel vibe. Lots of families running around during easter. The location is great for being between attractions and the other areas for cafes and nightlife

You have to pay extra to use the kitchen along with the gym and pool. You cant extend in person. You have to go online and do it I had to check the night before and the morning that I could stay in the same room

Friendly staff and clean rooms.

Extremely helpful and welcoming staff. Location is perfect in terms of distance from central train station and city attractions, particularly for a family with young children. We didn't know whether a hostel would be suitable with the kids but they loved it.

very little not to like.

I made new friends

Rooms were very clean. Staff in the reception very kind. There is light and sockets on each bed and the bathroom was clean too, with towels and gel included in the dorm. Don't forget to bring a padlock for your locker

Location Easy check in and check out Clean

AC was a bit too hot

Private bathroom in female dormitory and huge public areas.

The room is too small. If you opened your luggage then chances are high you will block the way between bunk beds.

The location is very convenient. My stay was short but there are many services which is good. Nice to see families also staying there.

Most staff were great except for an unfriendly Italian staff which wasn't helpful. Sometimes there little kind things that can be done to be helpful. I think working with people these things need to be done. I think location should reinforce room rules. To girls were eating after midnight in the room and whispering which woke me up. I understand it's a shared room but the food smell was very annoying which made their constant whispering intolerable. There's no gluten free option at the bar for breakfast.

Clean, spacious, lots of stuff to do

no balcony or smoking areas

Efficient, economical but still comfy

Toilets air circulation

All good

Excellent location. Near the main transport line in Denmark, and close to Vesterbro a gorgeous neighbourhood. Property was clean, full of life with great staff.
