Steel House Hostel, Copenhagen

Easy to find and an easy pick up key facility. Would be very happy to use again

I had a 30-hour stopover in Copenhagen and decided to stay here. My flight arrived at 6:30 a.m., and since there was plenty of time before check-in, I walked around the city — from the Little Mermaid statue to Nyhavn — and arrived at the hostel around 1:30 p.m. I was quite tired and hoped for an early check-in, but unfortunately, I had to wait on the ground floor until 3 p.m. (Easy to get the key from Phone application) We booked a 4-bed room privately for two people. It might feel a bit tight if used by four, but for the two of us, it was comfortable. We both used the lower bunks, and the head area was nicely enclosed, so even if one person had the light on, it didn’t bother the other. The bathroom was small but had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. For our short stay, this place offered great value for money!

The only small downside was that we wanted to make instant noodles but couldn’t since using the kitchen on the ground floor required an extra payment for access.

Location, clean rooms, safe and good place.

Tiny, 6 beds in one room. No comfortability for nothing, you have just one small box to leave your things and you have to bring your own key to use is. Not recommended for more than one or two nights. However, it is a hostel...

Clean; lots of amenities ( gym, pool, bike rental, use of kitchen….all for an Addison small fee however)

Good location, helpful staff and online check in/out platform.

Noticed 2 little bedbugs at the mattress in the last nite.

Impressive price-value proposition

Location, price

Check in time

Location wise it's good. Reservation allotted us a private room with my 16 year old son with us. That was really great news We were more comfortable and had privacy as a family. Thanks for that 🤗

No amenities like, toothbrush, toothpaste, cotton buds. Sometimes it could be of help when you forget to bring them with you for a night stay

Facilities in general and rooms are kept tidy and well maintained. The inside atmosphere was quiet and peaceful (don't know if that is so also during peak season). There was ample common space to sit and read, eat or work. Bed was clean and comfortable.

Rooms are extremely narrow and it's all a continuous dance to be able to open suitcases and retrieve stuff from them without hitting someone, hitting yourself on someone's open locker ooor with the door as it opens to welcome yet one more traveler (fortunately, all of my roomies were very sweet and respectful, and we had a good night's sleep). While location is really good (despite the very many construction crews and vehicles), it was a bummer to find out many of the facilities/services considered basic at other hostels were pay-to-use ones at this hostel (like luggage storage and use of the kitchen), despite the price of a bed being comparable to other places. I chose the hostel specifically because of its swimming pool, finding no info on booking.com or the subsequent mails received from the property that this service, too, had to be paid for in order to use it. I did pay for it and had a good experience, but it would have been great to know, from the get-go, about all the extra costs. My key got deactivated before check-out time, which resulted in my having to go back and forth from the reception and losing a good 15 minutes.

The atmosphere was really chill and fun. The value for money was unbeatable in the whole city! Staff was ok but not really talkative

Rooms are a bit small for six people and usually we needed to wait for others before moving

The hostel and the room themselves were very good and mostly clean and tidy.

Unfortunately, it was very hot in the room, even when we turned down the thermostat. Since it wasn't very warm outside, this was a bit strange. Furthermore, the lockers in the rooms are completely unusable. The locking mechanism doesn't work properly, and the cabinets can be easily opened.

Most everything. Especially design of the steps going to top bunk.

Wish I could use a microwave and fridge.

Amazing location, very easy to go walking to many touristic sites of the city. The room was spacious enough, with good toilet and shower. The hotel offers a pool, a gym, an spacious kitchen, a bar, and a big lounge area to hang out. I stayed here with a friend, and even though we booked separately, they put together in the same shared room. They included all 6 people in the room arriving and leaving at the same day, which made it very convenient for us to know each other and hang out together throughout our trip, which made it even greater. Continue arranging for people to stay together as much as possible like that!

The stairs to go up to the top bunk beds is a bit tricky, with only a side bar to support, but it is possible to manage. Use of amenities like kitchen, gym and pool all require an extra payment. I think it makes sense, but still didn't like that as much.

I liked all the activities it offered such as karaoke and quiz night. The pool and gym are also nice. But the best part was meeting new people and having fun with them!

It was a bit noisy and the automatic light in the bathroom was a bit annoying because it turned off while i was showering multiple times.

It was really modern, good quiet spaces for working, the bunks are small but well equipped

Noise outside, not their fault. Just late night drunk people and on Monday morning construction from 5 or 6 am

Everything.

It’s my first time staying in a hostel - it’s very basic and remember to bring a pad lock. Located was excellent!

Very basic and the bed is but short….. if you are tall there will be bit of problem….

Great vibes, clean nice rooms and great facilities. Staff were fantastic.

Almost perfect only would suggest adjusting the timing on automatic sensor lights in bathroom to be more than two minutes. If you changed them to at least five minutes then they wouldn’t go out whilst using bathroom or shower. 😁

Great location

Nothing

There are many fun stuff to do around in the same building

The facilities are well-maintained. The common areas are really nice. It’s near the city centre. No problems with check-in.

I didn’t like the toilet and shower inside the room; they were uncomfortable. The beds don’t have curtains, which would be appreciated for some privacy when sharing a room. The steps to access the bed were slippery and a bit difficult to climb. The locker locks weren’t working properly.

I like the facilities that were above the average for a budget stay

An awesome experience! Both room and the bed were really clean and cozy. An excellent matress and clean sheets. Location was good, near the public transport options and lake on the other side.

Only thing missing was a curtain infront of the beds in the dorms. Needed some privacy so had to use my own scarf.

Amazing atmosphere. Despite the size it still had a personal touch and the staff were really helpful

Good hostel, clean, comfortable, close to the center.

The pillow was not very comfortable.

The beds could be fitted with a curtain for privacy and light protection. It's annoying to be constantly disturbed every time a guest enters or goes to the bathroom.

The hostel has a great location and is overall very comfortable. You have lots of room to just chill, including couches and a sofa, as well as tables and chairs to eat and even some higher benches to vary. The rooms are also clean, and they service them daily.

You have to pay extra for pretty much everything. The use of the kitchen is not included in the price, so you have to pay approx. 3.50 euros each day just to access the kitchen. You also have to pay extra for lockers (which were quite expensive, I might add), because they don't have any kind of security in the bedroom. Renting a bike was 20 euros a day... Everything pretty expensive for a hostel, but the situation with the kitchen is just not acceptable. It's a hostel, for goodness' sake!

The common rooms

The bed

Good option to stay fairly central in Copenhagen. It is a lively hostel/hotel with a good selection of services. Possibility to park in the garage next to the hotel.

The room was very small, difficult to maneuver in it with 2 people, state of the room/bathroom had been better (but not dramatic), light in the bathroom was sensor operated, and switched off quite quickly with the shower being out of reach of the sensor to reactivate, parking was fairly expensive (~40 euro for a day).

The location was a 5 minute walk from the train station and it was situated near a lake. I booked a bed in a four female dormitory and was pleasantly surprised how well set out it was. I was traveling with a friend and luckily we were in the same room with 2 young ladies whom were really friendly. The reception had a cafe/bar pool table, big screen, loads of seating with usb ports, tap for drinking water. Down stairs was gym, pool, big screen area and toilets. They had a luggage lock up which we used on our last day. The steel house had a very modern vibe and the staff were friendly and helpful. There was a mixture of ages which made us feel less old. I’ll be returning to Copenhagen and I’ll definitely stay here again.

Down side the key code on our phones, which was on their app. It was awkard to use in the lift because of the signal, but reception where happy to give us a key card. You could do with a bathm in the bathroom as it would get wet

good location, close to central station

bunks

It was near S line and ,10 minutes walk to Copenhagen central station. The kitchen was pretty convenient to make your own food. The hight of bed space was easy to in and out of bed without hiting your head. The bathroom hanger was great to hang your towel.

The bed was too soft to sleep in. The pillow was uncomfortable. The WiFi was terrible in room, but it was okay in public areas. The lights in the bathroom and room were quite troublesome because it turned off automatically after several minutes.

Entertaiment in the Lobby Bathrooms Staff Toilets around in the building clean

The kitchen signs should maybe be more specific. Do Your dishes - dry them with a towel - put them back. Dont lieve your carbage in the zink - use the carbageholder. Humor: Your mum is not here

the location is really good, all in all i think worth the price a bathroom and shower in every dorm room is definitely nice

the rooms could use just a little bit more space, but i'm guessing it's a trade off with having a separate bathroom and shower in every room weird that the communal kitchen access is not free but okay

Good Location

Rooms are extremely small and staff are not always very kind.

Cleanliness, the activities, the overall stay was really good.

Good value for budget, Comfort, great location, good environment, good staff

If you have curtain at the bad it will be perfect. That what I have experienced in Paris 🙂, have the privacy

Location was excellent.

Room was quite small but to be fair to Steel House the description was pretty accurate.

Friendly and helpful staff (we were able to check in sooner than we thought and to check out a few minutes late), lots of activities, great location, nice clean room

The room could have been designed better, there were lots of empty spaces and no shelves, we had to do our makeup on the floor. The bathroom also had some issues, some tiles were coming up and it smelled kind of bad (likely water had gotten under the tiles)

Good Location - Clean & Tidy - Very Modern

Room Small but nice

I liked the coziness despite being a big hostel. And also the modern stuff.

To pay for using the kitchen. The matress and pillow, I woke up every morning with a lower back pain.

It was clean

The toilet needs a floor towel cause the sink spills a lot of water

I chose 4-bed female only room and it looked very good! Also it is very convenient to have the private shower!

the luggage storage costs

Lounge

Small room

The check in process is easy, the facilities are great. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are very clean. Breakfast options are ok. A good place for a solo traveler and meet people.

The kitchen is quite messy. The comforter on the bed was a little too warm for the summer, but there was no lighter option.

Location is great. Facilities like communal kitchen were really good and well managed.

Minor point but there was no table in the 4person room. Car parking is expensive but thats due to such a central location in the city.

It’s my second stay in the Steel House, it’s a great value for money. The place is clean and comfortable. The room we got was maybe a bot small for two people, but we don’t need much. It’s close to the train station which is perfect for tourists. The staff is always friendly and accommodating.

The location was convient enough. The facilities were clean.

The room in which I stayed was rather cramped

Almost everything

The flimsy frosted glass door for the shared ensuite bathroom. The noises from inside that bathroom could be heard very well in the bedroom area. A solid door would be better.

It's a very nice and cozy place.

The lockers from inside the room have a lock that could potentially be opened by anyone.
