Danhostel Copenhagen City

Danhostel Copenhagen City is a large official youth hostel at H.C. Andersens Boulevard 50 in central Copenhagen, Denmark, close to Copenhagen Central Station and Tivoli Gardens. The boulevard is a major thoroughfare along the old city edge, and the hostel sits near the Glyptotek, the National Museum and the Rådhuspladsen square, so the main sights of the old town are within a short walk. The harbour, Christiansborg Palace and Nyhavn can be reached on foot or by a short bus or metro ride. As a member of the Danhostel network, the hostel follows national standards for cleanliness and facilities, and it is one of the larger hostels in the city, with a wide range of room types. Accommodation includes dormitories and private rooms, many with en-suite bathrooms, and family rooms that make it popular with groups travelling with children. Lockers are provided for luggage and valuables. The hostel has a canteen serving breakfast and affordable meals, and communal areas where guests can meet, plan trips or relax. The atmosphere is more organised and family-friendly than at party hostels, and school groups, cyclists and international visitors all use it. There is no pool or spa, but the central location gives access to Tivoli, museums and shopping. Staff provide maps, information on public transport and tips on budget activities, and luggage storage is typically offered. Because it is large, the hostel suits groups and families who need several beds together at an affordable price. Prices are far below those of city-centre hotels, though they rise in summer and at weekends. Booking early is advisable for July and August, when demand from school groups and backpackers is highest, and Danhostel membership or an international hostelling card may give a discount.
