Steel House Copenhagen

Steel House Copenhagen is a hostel at Vester Voldgade 85 in Indre By, Copenhagen, Denmark, close to Rådhuspladsen and the City Hall. The street follows the line of the old western ramparts, and the location puts guests within a few minutes' walk of Tivoli Gardens, Strøget and Copenhagen Central Station, with the Metro station at Rådhuspladsen very near. Nyhavn, Christiansborg Palace and the Latin Quarter are all within a pleasant walk, which makes the hostel an economical base for sightseeing on foot. The building has a modern, industrial-influenced design, and its identity is centred on a social atmosphere, with a cafe, a bar, a shared kitchen and a large common room that is the main gathering space. Accommodation includes Dormitory Beds, Private Rooms and Family Rooms, so the hostel serves backpackers as well as couples and small families who want lower prices than a hotel. Amenities include wifi, a lift, a shared kitchen, bicycle rental and luggage storage, the last useful for early arrivals and late departures. The cafe and bar serve light meals and drinks, while the shared kitchen allows guests to prepare their own food, which helps limit costs in a city with high restaurant prices. There is no pool or spa. Indicative rates run from about DKK 150 for a dorm bed to DKK 850 for a private room, depending on season and room type. Service is informal and aimed at independent travellers, with staff able to advise on cycling routes, free activities and nightlife. The hostel suits solo travellers, groups of friends and budget-conscious visitors. Dormitories are by nature shared and can be lively, so those seeking quiet should choose a private room and bring earplugs, and summer dates should be booked in advance.
