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.
