Urban Camper Hostel & Bar

Te ideia of being a “camp” hostel is quite nice, and this is one of the things that grabbed our attention while searching for where to stay in CPH. They have a very cool pub on the first floor where you can look up for good beers, drinks & spirits, and also play shuffleboard, which was very nice. The room, or tent, areas are quiet and very private, becoming cozy during nighttime. The price was a little bit high in comparison to other hostels in Europe, but having in mind that this was the best option we found for a double room in the entire city, It would be wrong on me to complain about it. It is what it is.

Well, in my opinion, there is a lot of things that they could improve. Beware that everything here is going to cost you, and is going to cost a lot. Besides paying almost €280 for 4 nights, we didn’t even got towels provided. I’ve stayed in hostels way, way, way cheaper than this one that provided towels, this should be the standard. But, well, we paid 60KR for two towels, and for our surprise, there was no proper place to hang it during nighttime to dry it. Even though they have a “restaurant/pub” area, you are not allowed to bring your own drinks from the outside, which is very, very strange for a hostel modus operandi. I would agree with this policy if the cheapest option on tap wasn’t like 70 danish crowns. And the worst thing, in our opinion, is that even though they have “private lockers” inside our tents, it only works if you use a locker with a specific size that, guess what, they sell to you at the front desk. So… it was basically like flying with Ryanair. You pay for the stay. Everything, and I mean everything, is going to cost you extra. I was glad that they provided me an extra pillow for free, as me and my girlfriend were joking about how much would cost us. Hostel location is a little bit sketchy as well, and I’m not a person that usually complains about it, but everything near closes at around 9/10pm, even on fridays. The bed for two is not a proper twin bed. It is two single beds put down together, so in the middle of the night I found myself sleeping in the bed “structure” for multiple times lol.

The value for money is great! 30 euros per night (on average) and you get a very comfortable bed in a shared room per four, big restroom with many toilets, sinks and showers and very nice common areas, it is exactly decorated to give the idea of a camper zone in the middle of the city, the vibes are underground but colorful and natural too! I really like it an would be back!

Breakfast is never included in the price but considering that the price is very low for Copenhagen rates I would still pay for it and give it a try; they have buffet option or also an open bar where you can get a warm drink and a slice of cake as I did 😊

1. The bathrooms were clean. Despite 150 people living in the tents, there are ample bathrooms for everyone. 2. The common space is a good area to socialize with others. They also have some games to play. 3. Comfortable beds with a charging socket available over your head. 4. Great Location. Closer to supermaket and metro. Very handy to explore everything in Copenhagen.

1. The staff behaviour, especially the girl with the curly hair seemed a bit rude. 2. Even though they have clean rooms and beds available, they don't allow early check-in, even if you arrive at 14:15 pm. They are very strict on the check in time of 15:00. 3. No kitchen in the place. 4. Bring your own lock. Else you have to pay for it. 5. The rooms are literally tents. There are no solid walls between two rooms. but it's polythene that separates two rooms. So, you can overhear everything that goes on in the next room and also 5 rooms ahead. 😂

Proximity to the metro

Bathrooms could have been cleaner. Ventilation could have been better - felt a bit stuffy.
