Steel House offers private rooms and dormitory rooms. Dormitory rooms come with lockers and convenient power sockets by each bed, and has access to shared bathroom facilities. The private rooms has its own bathroom with a shower.

Great place to stay in Copenhagen, with many things to do inside the hostel, like cooking, swimming pool, gym, etc. Also, it has a bar/foodbar/coffeebar 24/7 open in case you’re hungry. And the hostel itself has nights like karaoke nights, game nights so you can always have fun. My group of friends all got sick during our stay in Copenhagen and stayed in a lot unfortunately, but this hostel kinda saved us all it had everything.

Both private and dorm-style rooms are provided at Sleep in Heaven. Bed linen is included.

A bed at this hostel is very well priced! And comfy too! The rooms are very clean and well cared for and I really liked that the hostel has a well-established set of rules and policies that help keep the property clean, comfortable, and safe for all guests. I am very thankful that Sleep in Heaven exists because staying here allowed me to save on my accommodation in Copenhagen while allowing me to enjoy the very best that the Danish capital has to offer. The hostel's staff truly goes above and beyond in providing information about the city to all guests and they also do a great job of staffing the hostel's cafe and bar, which offers an excellent selection of coffees, beers, and snacks. If you are under 35, do yourself a favor and book a night here - you will sleep comfortably, save money, and meet several wonderful people amongst the staff who are passionate about sharing their knowledge of Copenhagen with the hostel's guests.

    Everything was perfect, this was honestly the best hostel I have ever stayed in, there was plenty of activities happening every day, the staff was really friendly, rooms were small, but comfortable, they have amazing cheap drinks in several bars, and we also enjoyed the breakfast and pizza buffets available every day. Also the location is great, just 8 minutes to the central station. Perfect accommodation!

    Friendly staff, super great location, you have a Netto supermarket just in front of the building. The communal lounge area is amazing with pool tables, comfy chairs, and a terrace. The hostel is clean overall, no surprise by Nordic standards actually. You have lockers in the rooms as well that are assigned to your bed, just make sure to bring a padlock, although it's super safe in Copenhagen. In short, the stay is really nice there, if you come with friends you won't get bored, if you come alone it's quite convenient.

The bar and lobby are always full of people, fun evenings are organized almost every day and tours to discover Copenhagen! Using the kitchen is very useful and cheap. There is everything you could need and the atmosphere is very hyggeligt! <3 I would definitely recommend it!

    Copenhagen is expensive, and this is a really good budget option. I had a private room with shared bathroom and was very pleased all round. The Hostel is busy with a seemingly non stop bar and warnings about it being a noisy place. I wasn't disturbed at all up on the 4th floor. My room was quite quirky with a train carriage theme - 2 bunk beds and a very comfy double. Shared bathroom directly across the corridor, which was very convenient. And a great location for exploring the city.
