 | Danhostel Copenhagen: Never again
|  |

 |
We arrived on a Tuesday, in the lashing rain. We waited for 35 minutes at reception whilst one member of staff dealt with a customer and another 4 stood around drinking tea.
Not a good start for 4 tired, cold, wet and hungry travelers.
Eventually, we were served and to our dismay, we were told that we must pay extra because we weren't members of hosteling international- (my card ran out the month before) something that wasn't advertised in the price. When asked if we needed sheets we declined as we had sleeping bags, to which we were told that we couldn't use them and would have to rent sheets.
If we hadn't been so weary, the bags would've been back on our backs for a trek for new accommodation in the pouring rain, however, none of use had the energy and so we conceded.
Upon arrival in the room we noticed the view. Then the smell. Then the filth of the place.
There were stains all over the beds, floor, walls and ceiling. I've seen more hygienic toilets in a prison tour I once did and the shower was utterly disgusting.
Normally I would be straight back to reception to complain but we were so tired that we just didn't care anymore.
We were told check out was 10am. At 9:50, a member of staff barged in on us and told us that if we weren't checked out in 5 minutes, that we would be charged another nights stay.
We proceeded down to reception and were greeted by two absolutely irate staff.
They told us that if we didn't pay for another nights stay, they would ring the Police.
We grudgingly paid and left on the first train we could.
5 star hostel?!!
I have stayed in many hostels, in many places and take the good with the bad but it's a rare occurance that I would actually dissuade someone from staying in a particular place but I will never set foot in that hostel again and I'm sorry to say, it was so horrific that it will be a while until I visit Copenhagen.

Located in a huge building near the river, in HC Andersens Ave. Danhostel City is a great place to stay, new (opened in jul. 2004), centrally located and cheap for the prices of Copenhagen. I stayed in Dec for a few days sharing a room for 4 with 2 of my friends. We had private bathroom, but no closet!, Luckily we had a spare bed so we could left our bags there. The breakfast is pretty good, a buffet with cereals, juices, ham, cheese and different types of breads. People working there were not excessively nice, but, problaby because of the amount of people staying there, they were fully booked (17 floors!!!).
Would come back, without a doubt!
We stayed at floor 11th with stunning wiews of the city center and the tivoli.

 Danhostel Copenhagen City by ValbyDK
Danhostel Copenhagen City is located in the centre of Copenhagen, within walking distance to the main central station, Tivoli, the town hall square, Strøget (the shopping street) etc. I visited my friends in their room and the view over the harbour was fabulous. My friends stayed in a room with four beds and connected bathroom, and all looked nice and clean. The lobby area has a café/bar, TV and computers with internet connection.
The 15-story building was built in 1955 - founded by money from the Marshall Aid after World War II. It started as Hotel Europa, but in the 1980s it became headquarter for a Danish union (HK). A few years ago Danhostel Copenhagen City opened in the old HK-house.
