Sleep In Heaven

Sleep In Heaven is a low-cost hostel at Struenseegade 7 in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, Denmark, close to the Assistens Cemetery. The district lies north-west of the old centre and is known for its multicultural character, independent shops, cafes and nightlife, particularly along Jægersborggade and Nørrebrogade. The cemetery, which is a large green space used by locals for walking and picnics and which contains the graves of figures such as Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard, is a short walk away. Nørreport station and the lakes are about fifteen to twenty minutes on foot, and frequent buses along Nørrebrogade connect the area to the centre and Central Station. The hostel is housed in a plain urban building with a straightforward interior, and its appeal is price rather than design. Accommodation is offered as Dormitory Beds and Private Rooms, so it suits solo travellers, groups and couples on a tight budget. Amenities include wifi, a lift, a shared kitchen and luggage storage, along with a bar. The shared kitchen is useful for preparing meals, which reduces costs in a city where restaurant meals are expensive, and Nørrebro itself has many affordable ethnic restaurants, bakeries and cafes. There is no pool or spa. Indicative rates run from about DKK 150 for a dorm bed to DKK 600 for a private room depending on season, making it one of the cheapest lodgings in Copenhagen. Service is informal, with staff who can offer tips on the neighbourhood and cycling routes. The hostel suits backpackers and long-stay budget travellers who are comfortable with a simple, social atmosphere. Visitors should expect basic facilities, and those wanting to be within walking distance of the historic sights should weigh the saving against the extra transit time. Summer dorm beds sell out early.
