Design hostel with private rooms, an indoor pool with panoramic city views, and a building that would pass as a proper hotel if it charged hotel prices. The architects treated the brief seriously — the common spaces have the proportions and materials of a mid-range design hotel, and the private rooms include en-suite bathrooms that many actual hotels would envy. The Vesterbro location near Central Station puts the meatpacking district and Tivoli within easy reach. Comfortably the best value accommodation in central Copenhagen for anyone who values design.

Private rooms offer the best balance of value and privacy. The indoor pool is the differentiator — it's genuinely good and has Copenhagen views. The social spaces are lively without being the dominant feature if you want to use the private rooms as a proper hotel.
Year-round as a value option in a well-located Vesterbro building. The proximity to the station and meatpacking district is excellent.
Steel House is what a hostel becomes when it's designed by architects who stay in hotels. Private rooms with en-suite bathrooms compete with 3-star hotels in quality; the indoor pool beats most. The Vesterbro location near Central Station is convenient. The social spaces mean you get a chance to meet other travellers, but the private rooms are genuinely private. One of the best value propositions in Copenhagen.
