Sleep-in Heaven

We love Mary!
Beds were comfy, rooms were small, but what do you expect for that price? Toilets and showers were fine, just not many of them. Good location but hard to find, make sure you get explicit directions, about a twenty-minute walk to the centre of the city. Look out for the Mexican restaurant around the corner! Only problem was having to listen to the sounds of lovemaking in our tiny dorm. Otherwise good!

Ok, tiny rooms, tiny bathroom
This hostel has got to have the smallest rooms ever. I'm sure submarines aren't this cramped. There's no room to put your stuff, which become a major pain. Also there's two toilets and three showers for everyone. Lucky I get up earlier than most people! It's also twenty minutes' walk from town, which is ok but not great. On the plus side it was quite friendly and the staff were helpful.

I've stayed here twice, and both times it was awesome! The staff is friendly, the bar is good, and the beds are comfy. The only problem was the drunken Icelanders who stumbled in at four in the morning and started singing, but then again, we Icelanders have a reputation to live up to.

I liked the place. Sure, the rooms are small, but what are you looking for at that price? Friendly and helpful staff. Very international, fairly easy to find, decent location. four stars.

I stayed at Sleep-in Hostel in 2003 and found it to be pretty nice. I have heard it underwent renovation so it might or might not, depending on what was changed, have improved. When I first arrived I was surprised to find out that it was a huge room with like three hundred beds or so clustered into cubicles that made a room. Originally the place had been an old bread factory that they turned into a hostel. I did, however, manage to get some sleep and my stuff was not tampered with. The major drawback was using the bathroom in the morning and trying to shower -- huge lines of people waiting their turn. Best bet if you plan on using the shower is to wait until you arrive back in the evening when there is less demand for the shower. I did meet some really nice people there and shared some excellent stories. The bar area was really nice. It was also located in an interesting part of Copenhagen, the locals were extremely friendly, I met some locals with whom I travelled to Christiania with during the day. Also the hostel is pretty hidden, it took me awhile to find it, but once you find it you know where it is for the entire time you stay. All and all a pretty nice place, although don't know what it is like now, because I have heard that it changed.

sleep in heaven - my ass! Me and my friend slept there for four nights, it was the cheapest place that was open we could find - turned out to be a big mistake. Would gladly have payed a bit more if I knew that the rooms were really tiny, and the lamps didn't make it lighter at all, the toilets were really gross and the showers barely gave any water at all.. It's practicly impossible to get any sleep, since the beds are not comfortable at all, people keep coming in and out of the rooms, and it's really noisy.. If you're thinking of going to copenhagen, don't live at sleep in heaven unless you're gonna share your room with only people you know, and you plan to spend very little time there, sleeping.

A cheap place to stay, if you travel with no great expectations. I slept in a 6-bedroom, which was ok. They have only one unisex washroom with 3 separate showers, which was far too few for 50 people who want to take a shower in the morning. Breakfast is lousy, but there are tons of nice breakfast cafes close by. I actually couldn't make out the 80 people-dorm mentioned by other travelers in their comments, so maybe the staff did make some changes to the hostel's interior architecture. The common room is great, you can play pool, have free Internet access, lounge music and a nice open terrace where you can chill if weather is good. By European standards it's lower average, but I have seen much worse places on my travels so come and check it out for yourself.

The hostel is not good, but you have to see it as a cheap place to sleep and take a shower in Copenhagen — just that! The problem is that some of my stuff was stolen from inside my locker (which was locked!!!). Very astonished (and angry), I went to the front desk to ask what could have happened. There I found out that they have a spare key for each locker and the one from mine was there, so, they could do nothing! Well, I guess that just the people that work at the hostel have access to the spare keys, otherwise they should be more careful and responsible!

Yes, "sleep in hell"...or not sleep at all. Unless you come with 25 friends and want to stay (I say "stay", not "sleep") in the same room, go somewhere else. For that price you'll be closer to the center, with less than 86 people in your room, more than 2 showers for those, and you'll get the light turned off.

"Sleep-in Hell" are the first words that come to my mouth. This is the worst hostel I came across in the whole of my life, and you can be sure I've been places. First of all, the location is lousy, the staff rude, it has one sh*t-huge dorm, and even people who stayed there seemed wicked. It's really a shame for Copenhagen that in the low season this is the only budget place in operation. Shame.

Staying here is kind of like sleeping in a homeless shelter — all of the beds are in one massive room, stacked in sets of three. It can get noisy, often smells like weed, and is far from luxury. But it's cheap for Copenhagen, and some earplugs will go a long way towards making getting some rest an accomplishable goal. The good points of this place are awesome though — friendly staff, lots of good Middle Eastern take-away food in the neighborhood, free (big) lockers, and a great common area with cheap beer, comfy couches, pool, and lots of people. I met wonderful travelers during my stay here, and had a blast every evening just hanging out and talking with people.

This place was loud and crappy; not a sleep-in heaven at all.

This is a good place! It's a nice place to meet people, drink beers, save money, and to sleep, of course, after nights at Stensgade 30 and Rust, my favorite night clubs in Copenhagen, which are both very close to the hostel. This place is in a good location; Stroget (the shopping area) is only 1 km away.

Okay, I was lucky. I stayed in the smaller dorm, but I can imagine that people complain about the huge dorm. The staff were very friendly, and this hostel has the best common area I've seen in ages, with a courtyard terrace. It's a good place to meet people and challenge them to a game of pool. There is Internet access, and some nice bars in the neighbourhood.

I stayed here on the first night of my city break in Copenhagen. Granted, the 'dorm room' is basically a great big partitioned warehouse with a shower and a toilet at the back, but it's okay for somewhere to sleep, and it's cheap. There's also loads and loads of free lockers (you put 20 ddk in, but you get it back when you open it) so if you're worried about luggage security then it's all right in that regard. There is a place to 'chill out and read'. It's called the common room, and it has a bar, pool table and Internet access. The bed area is for sleeping in, so it's quite dark. It's also quiet in there (at least it was the night I stayed here). The bar is also quite cheap for Copenhagen and the staff at the desk are reasonably personable. The location of the hostel is quite a way away from the center of the city. It is walkable (possibly not if you've got all your luggage with you) but you'll probably want to use public transport. Nørrebro is a hip area with lots of clubs and bars, but it doesn't have that much in the way of sight-seeing opportunities--get a klippenkort card. The hostel isn't so hard to find if you bring a map with you. The showers are clean, and big enough to get dried (and changed, at a stretch) in. (It's just as well, as there's not much privacy in a 100-bed dorm!) The beds aren't so clean, but that's what your sleep sheet is for. It's a bit of a job to clean 100 beds, I suppose!
