It is a very modern hostel, great facilities, great staff.

I stayed in a very comfortable 4 bed all female room. Which was great. The rooms were a luxury compared to all the other hostels I have been. The only problem was that it was a Friday night and in the right next building there was a night club that played very loud music until 4 am and no one could sleep in my room. Besides the music you could hear people shouting at the street coming off the night club (probably deaf from the loud noise) and a lot of noise from the cars there was a car hoking constantly at about 3 am (which I thought it was forbidden by law to honk at night).

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, even if my room was a sauna :)

Really great facilities and spaces to hang out, clean, friendly and safe.

My room was like a sauna due to the sun beating down on the windows all day. Not so much an issue when there’s plenty of places to hang out around the property, but a little steamy trying to go to sleep.

It is clean and easy to access and safe.

Other people making to much noises late and also the glass doors of the bathrooms because they don’t stop the light even when closed so people who wants to shower or go to the bathroom late/early wake up the others

The hostel is great, has a lot of different spaces (laung, cinema...etc),

I didn't know that the kitchen, the pool....have extra payment. When we checked in nobody explained us how it works. Also when I made the booking, I didn't see this information.

Nice stay.

Location is very good. Center is very near. Kitchen is very usable. Sometimes when it is crowded there might now be enough bowls or space to sit. The baggage storage is very nice. I liked the self check in option. Ventilation is quite strong. I liked that in morning it was not feeling that all people slept there.

The corridor in the room is very narrow. If someone does leave their baggage there then it is hard to walk there. I was suprised that there were no curtains for bed. That made it less private. It is understandable that with limited corridor capacity, rolling doors are used, but they do not have as good sound insulation and smells also travel freely. Ventilation unit is loud. It would be cool if there would be more storage space in area of bed.

100% recommend it for solo travellers!

Great facilities, a lovely atmosphere, and a good location. I stayed in a 6-bed female dorm and had a really pleasant experience. The vibes were great, and if I ever come back to Copenhagen, I would definitely stay here again.

Having the toilet and shower inside the room, although convenient can also still feel a little uncomfortable, specially when they were right in front of my bed.

Great but there is rooms for improvements

The atmosphere, gym, pool, tv room, games, eventhing was phenomenal. Really nice staff. Clean toilets and good evening programmes.

The rooms were small and feels cramped if entire room is occupied. The sliding translucent doors gets switched ON everytime someone moves close to the door. This puts a lot of light into the room. While showering the automatic lights goes OFF. Then you need to come out to get it ON again. The sensor needs to be moved close to the shower and away from the door. The locks for the locker are poorly designed. I could open the locker just by pressing and turning, eventhough I had padlocks. The ladders to go up the bed looks aesthetically beautiful but ergonomically it is flawed.

Close to the train station and city center. Clean.

Expensive globally (but it is Copenhagen, hey) Everything looks too much like a business. No real breakfast, just a 7 eleven style grab. Very neutral staff. The system prefers that you do everything online and self check in and out rather than interact directly. Not really the old school hostel spirit.

Very clean, lovely staff, great location, comfy beds.

WC/bathroom light were automatic and the doors were transparent so in the middle of the night, when someone enters the room, the lights would go on randomly and stay like that which was annoying. There was also no WC/bathroom on the floor that one could use during early/late hours or when the ones in the room are occupied.

It was ok, but a little bit too expensive for what they offer

-the hotel/house was ok -the location was very good -the people were nice -it was quite in the evening -the room was ok, bed was comfortable -the bathroom was really ok compared with the room, was big enough to have space -we had plugs and switches near the bed

-the room was very small, like just the bed and a very small hall, to pass one person -the room doesn’t have table , wardrobe or refrigerator for water or something -we had just 2 towels -for every service the hostel has you have to pay extra like: gym, poll, baggage storage

Excellent accommodations close to everything.

We loved the efficiency of check in and checking out. The rooms and accommodations were comfortable and clean. Even in a snug room we felt like we had some privacy, excellent design. We liked how you paid extra for the services you wanted, like the use of the kitchen or swimming pool. The staff were always super helpful and friendly.

The music was a little too loud in the common areas.

There's really very little space, nowhere to leave things. I'd like to see towels refreshed more often. Sometimes the door key cards didn't work (I was told this happens when a new person moves into the room).

Good location, clean and comfortable but watch extra charges!

Good location, a few blocks from the train station and right beside the lake. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm. Beds were comfy and bathroom (toilet and separate shower) in the room was great.

Disappointed that you have to pay for early luggage storage. Could not check in, even 1min before 3pm. Also disappointed that gym and pool are available only at extra charge!

Practical place in Copenhagen centre

The location was great. Lot of restaurants and bars nearby and it's an easy walk to the centre. The room and bathroom were small but fine. It's not a cheap place but in Copenhagen centre you can't really find cheaper places. The hostel itself seemed quite good in terms of providing lot of things for customers e.g. kitchen, swimming pool, gym, activities etc.

More shelves, hooks and hangers. It's okay that it's a small room but would have loved some hangers for clothes or shelves for our stuff. The space under the bad for luggages was very practical!

Great value base for exploring beautiful Copenhagen

The location was great being very central and only a few steps away from the lake which was gorgeous for early morning walks. There was a high standard of cleanliness, bathrooms were cleaned daily with comfortable beds, nice cotton bedding and towels provided. As far as hostels go Steel house was pretty special. I liked the lounge area by the bar very cosy to unwind there after a long day exploring. I used the gym which was well equipped although didn’t get to use the pool. Staff were mostly helpful and the bike hire although a little expensive was very handy to have.

There were extra charges for many of the facilities; including using the kitchen which is standard in most other hostels. Breakfast was quite basic and as someone with a nut allergy some of the options I couldn’t have

Good place to sleep and socialise.

Comfortable beds, mattresses, clean sheets, towel included, swimming pool (extra fees), lift, spacious, social area , self kitchen ( extra fees). Big luggage storage (extra fees) Lockers inside the room for free of charge, just bring your own padlock or can buy from the reception Central position, bus, metro, trains are all near.

I didn't like the fees to use the kitchen. To sleep during the week is 20£/night and the weekend is 50£/night/bed always sharing the room , so can't say that is cheap to explain the extra fees for using the kitchen.

Great stay at Steel House Copenhagen

I had a very good experience at Steel House Copenhagen. The hotel is right in the city center, making it easy to explore Copenhagen on foot or by public transport. The rooms and common areas were clean and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere felt modern and comfortable. The staff were friendly, the facilities were convenient, and everything worked smoothly. A solid choice if you want a clean, central, and affordable place to stay in Copenhagen.

Amazing

Location was perfect, also the vibe and personel were great

I didn't like how the lights in the bathroom flicked on as somebody passed. I would also prefer maybe a separate toilet in the hallway and curtains by the bed, but that might be just preference.
