Expert reviews
“The distinctive steel-clad building that was once home to the Danish Union of Metalworkers has now been transformed into a cool urban hostel, with smart dorms (or small private rooms), plenty of communal space for meeting fellow travellers and an impressive range of facilities.”

Disappointed by room, but otherwise fine
View from terrace and central, yet quiet location.
The room on top floor with terrace was very small. Nowhere to put down anything. There was no bedside table, table, shelf or cupboard. But there was an unnecessary wall mounted TV. Terrace/ balcony is awkward to access.

Nice cost-effective option for budget tourists.
Great location with 2-min access to public transportation. Clean and well-ventilated room. Really comfortable bed. I really enjoyed the eco-friendly direction of the hostel and amazing atmosphere.
There were lockers but with no keys. I was confused when next day I asked the manager about it she only suggested to buy a key. I have never had such experience. No one told me when and where to pay for the kitchen. It would be great if there was an option or info during the check-in. No hooks near the bed or outside the bathroom. I had to use my selfie stick for my jacket...

Great and comfortable as usual!
The amount of facilities and the coziness and liveliness as the place is always buzzing with people of all ages. The beds are surprisingly good (I was a bit sceptical about bunk beds), and the service and staff is amazing and helpful too.
The wait for the elevators as there were so many people. That's about it

Overall good quality to price ratio.
The location was nice, short walk to get groceries and food, and also not too far from popular tourist areas like Nyhavn.
The room was very small, and the bathroom could have been cleaner. Also hand towels were not included.

I was lucky enough to get a beautiful view. All the spaces were fairly clean. Everything needed was fairly available.
Payment to use various facilities was not mentioned upfront. Parts of the building needed maintenance.

Nice atmosphere but you have to pay for everything extra
comfortable beds, nice atmosphere and furniture
little privacy, blue alarm light lightning the room the whole night, no chance to turn it off. the bathroom door was made of glass and very noisy every time you open it. To use the kitchen or store luggage or lock the locker, you have to pay extra. the pool is very small, you have to pay per hour and there where a lot of people, no possibility to swim. there was no space for relax or leave your belongings in the pool , if you dont bring your locker.

A luxurious hostel
The location, staff and facilities (such as the activities organised there) were all great. The beds were comfortable too. I would go back here. It really reminds me of Next House, but this accommodation has a pool and Next House has a rooftop terrace.
The automatic light sensor was close to my bed (bed 1, bottom bunk), so whenever I accidentally moved my foot a little too much to the left the light would turn on. This happened a few times in the middle of the night. My duvet cover had a small stain on it. Other than that the hygiene was fine.

Location was great. The room was clean and the space was pretty functional
We had a terrace but not able to use it becase of the insects outside

Would have been great to have the toilets and showers on each floor. Also the door to the bathroom in the room doesn’t close good, so there’s an issue with privacy.

It was fine for our needs.
Location clean.
It was a bit strange having 6 bunk beds in a room that was private just for two people.

Lacking some shelf/table in the room and perhaps some more quiet area in the lobby/lounge.

Hostel was very clean and close to the city center.
An employee knocked on the door even though it wasn't time to leave the room yet, didn't give us a chance to get ready and went straight in, which made us very uncomfortable. Because we stayed in a women's dorm room we could have been naked and we would have preferred at least a female employee to come in.

Good value for money, superb location
Superb location, really close to city center and tivoli gardens. Nice youth atmosphere, really friendly staff.
It has the best years already behind - everything works, but is quite worn out (for example water in our toilet going through after flush - promptly repaired). Also sleeping in top floor beds not super safe for kids - there is no barrier against falling down.

Almost heaven
Perfect hostel Location is perfect, very close to the train station
You have to pay extra for everything, the kitchen, pool... A curtain on the bed would be good

Nice option in Copenhagen
Common areas with sofas were you can chill; also a kitchen,cinema, TV, swimming pool and a small gym.
There were people on a long term in the room I was assigned to and they had wat too many belongings (suitcases, food, etc)on the floor. It was even difficult to walk inside the room. The gym is being charged on a daily basis, compared to Next House Hostel (same owner group), which charges you one time per stay, same as they do at Steel House with the use of the Kitchen.

great location and comfortable beds
great location (close to central station, tivoli, city center etc.), many offers from hostel (bike rental 130dk per person for 24h, luggage storage 60dk for 24h etc.), super comfortable beds. we had a private double room and the size was great for 4-5 nights.
there was just a towel per person which was okay but the shower didn’t drain really well and flooded our bathroom. more towels would have been available at the front desk for a surcharge.

A very accessible, clean and modern hostel that was really good value for money.
It was very clean with good facilities and nice capsule beds in the dorms.
The ad did not make it clear that there were facilities you had to pay extra for access, e.g. the kitchen.

Nice stay in a good location.
The location was good, close to Tivoli gardens. The bed was comfortable. The hostel was well-equipped.
Everything has to be paid additionally - leaving your luggage is paid additionally and there is no lock on the lockers in the room if you don't rent it.

Probably the most hip hostel you can find in Copenhagen :)
Steelhouse Copenhagen has a *LOT* of facilities, so it's great especially for people staying for long periods of time. There is also a cafeteria so you can have breakfast or get a bite straight from the lobby!
The room is a bit small with very little room to walk around. The big bed is nice, but I prefer to have a pure single bed just to have more room to walk in the room.
29 April 2025
I'll book it again if I come back to Copenhagen (if prices are good too :)
comfy beds, budget-friendly breakfast, entertainment options, very close to the central station and couple of minutes to a main station, and overall excellent value for the money!
fridges were completely packed, bring own lock, room 111 toilet needs to be fixed, and the need to pay to use the kitchen.

The poor WiFi. The WiFi signal was great at the common areas in the ground floor but I got a room in the top floor and the signal there was very weak and constantly going off.

Value, relaxed vibe, easy check in and welcoming staff. Having a swimming pool was a big bonus with children.
Noisy on Friday night due to people in the street outside.

Charming Common Areas, Less Charming Bathroom
The common areas of the hostel are very nicely decorated. It's a great place to relax after a day of walking around Copenhagen, listening to music, and having a beer. There are also many games available, although we didn’t use them. The shared room with the beds was clean and comfortable. However, the beds might feel a bit tight if you are over 180 cm tall. The hostel is very close to the train station (about a 5-minute walk) and also relatively close to the bus station (about a 20-minute walk through the lively Meatpacking District, full of restaurants). It’s also within walking distance of most tourist attractions. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would definitely stay here again when visiting Copenhagen. Next time, though, I would probably choose a private room because of the bathroom situation. I would recommend booking a private room, especially for a longer stay.
While the idea of a bathroom in the shared room sounds nice, the design was not very functional. The toilet and shower were enclosed with sliding frosted glass doors that were not soundproof at all. Because of this, we felt like we were disturbing the others in the room (both nights, someone was already trying to sleep before 10 p.m.). One afternoon (around 4–5 p.m.), I returned to the room just to shower and use a hairdryer, because I didn’t want to risk waking up other guests in the evening or the morning.

Clean and modern, good options for games, facilities etc.
Bunk beds are pretty hard to climb up and down from. Could do with a shower mat to help keep bathroom dry since it's pretty small. Our shower drain also didn't really work which flooded the bathroom. Frosted glass door and automatic light in bathroom is frustrating in a dorm as the whole room lights up when someone goes in. Key cards didn't work very well to work lift or open dorm door.

Great location, clean, comfortable, great staff - very helpful
The room was clean and we had plenty of room for our family in a private room. The room was a good temperature and quiet. The location of Steel House was great to meet our families needs. The car park facility was really useful. There were great overall facilities to use.
