The Hostelz.com Review
City Sleep-In is located on the harbour front in Denmark's second city, Aarhus. It is a 15 minute walk from the central station or bus station, but a rather confusing and circuitous one. Nevertheless, it is close to the shops along Sondergade and Sankt Clemens Torv. There are numerous student cafes/restaurants/brasseries nearby but no real pubs apart from the generic Irish ones.
105DKK seems reasonable for Denmark, but where they get you is the additional charges such as another 40DKK for hire of sheets, pillows and blankets, 50DKK for a deposit on the key, extra 40DKK for breakfast, and if you don't have enough cash on you they'll charge you another 4.75% for using a credit card.
The reception is advertised as being open 24 hours but it would be wise not to risk it in case the staff have something more important to do. The rooms have four bunkbeds and lockers and are kept relatively clean, but they appear quite dark and gloomy. The toilets and showers are small but cleanish. It used to be an old dockers hotel and its condition shows it. Nevertheless, Aarhus is certainly worth a visit and is only a short (although expensive 252DKK) train trip from Copenhagen.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Noisy It's situated very central but that leads unfortunately to a lot of noise from the neighbouring bars. We tried to sleep there on a saturday night which unfortunately was almost impossible since the bars are open to 5 am. To summarize it it's probably good to sleep there sunday to wednesday but if you're so unlucky to get a room to the courtyard in the weekend you better have some serious earplugs or a lot of beer in your belly. Beside the noise it's ok. — Jesper , Denmark (2009-11-02) Great Location, Good Price! A great location to explore the city -- whether it is the inner centrum or the beaches that you want to visit! The hotel has some nice features, like a backyard, a clean and nice looking dining room, a play room, a good kitchen and much more. Good stay! — Nicky Grunfeld , Netherlands (2009-10-19) Decent Good location within walking distance of most sights. Large self-catering kitchen and spacious dining area. Nice outdoor patio. Unfortunately, next door to a bar playing loud live music all night. Combined with squeaky bunk beds and thin pillows, "sleeping in" wasn't a total option. — Jen & Karen , Canadian (2007-08-25) City sleep-in is a very cheap place to stay. The rooms are clean and the staff are very nice and helpful. In the summer it's also a great place to meet other people from around the world. Very central. For the price this is a VERY good place to stay. No luxury, but then again, where can you get luxury for this price? — Natascha (2005-11-11) We had a good time at the Sleep-In. Everybody was so nice and helpful. The rooms were pretty small, but they were clean and cozy. It's well worth a visit. — Janni and Klaus Peters (2005-03-18)
