TheGreatDane...living it up at the Danhostel!

There is something quite unique about wandering toward a hostel right after sunset: Hostelers, ready to check in, are attracted to the reception hall much like mosquitos to the light, and the air is usually, at such time, filled by conversations in every language imaginable. Danhostel, Copenhagen, is such a place, as it is one of the biggest hostels in this city.

If you are looking for a hostel which feels more like a regular hotel, then this is the place for you. This is not a place where you will find unique designs, but you will find good service, clean rooms and bathrooms the size of...well, yes you guessed right, the size equal to a regular hotel bathroom. It is a place which seems to be utilized by many Danes, such as families on vacation in the capital, as well as members of sports organizations, more specifically, little soccer players and their coaches. The commotion can therefore, in the high-season, run high, as coaches are desperately trying to keep their groups together while the little players would rather ride the elevators up and down...and then up again...only to come down to very dismayed group leaders...at least, this was the case which I happened to observe, while lodging at the Danhostel. 
Due to the close vicinity of the fairground, also known as Copenhagen’s TIVOLI, which is open throughout all seasons, it is ideal for families with children from the age-range of toddlers to teens.
If you are lucky, you will be able to view the TIVOLI evening fireworks from the hostel windows, depending upon where your room is located, and can therefore skip dragging the whole family to the fairgrounds late at night, in order to experience the firecracking event.


As all hostels have something unique about them (whether it be of the positive, negative...or of the utterly bizarre sort); Danhostel is no different:

For you whom are a trending hosteler, you will be able to relate to this:

Have you ever had the experience of putting the issued bed sheet on your assigned bed- only to find such sheet all curled up in one of the corners by your pillow the next morning? I have, and I know that I am not the only one, as I have awakened among many whom all have had that perturbed look on their faces (equal to my own facial expression of utter confusion, I'm sure), scratching their head and wondered, “what the h*ll happened last night while sleeping? How is it even possible for a bed sheet to creep up to one corner while laying ON it?

Danhostel has found an ingenious solution to the problem: all mattresses are covered with felt! Let me put it this way: your bed sheet is not going astray in the night, what-so-ever...head scratching problem gone away!





Time to rate:

• Was the location appropriate: The hostel is located on one of the largest streets in Copenhagen, H.C Andersens Boulevard; close to downtown and within walking distance to TIVOLI.
• Overall hostel level: Definitely a “fit-for-all-hostelers”, especially if you are traveling with children, (as well as with ear plugs, legal herbal sedatives such as St. John’s Wort, Kava Kava, and possess a natural calm personality in order to persevere the sometimes high level hustle-bustle commotion at the hostel)
• Would I bring my mother: Only if my mother was well equipped with ear plugs, legal herbal sedatives such as St. John’s Work and/or Kava Kava(or better yet, a prescription of Xanex) and suddenly changed her personality, to my surprise, to that of a Zen Master...then I would consider bringing my mother to this hostel (if you know what I mean).
• Would I recommend it to my neighbours: if my neighbours were going on a family trip to tour Copenhagen city, and enjoy time at TIVOLI...then my answer would be yes!
• Low-points of the hostel: I happened to be there when a female simply misunderstood the definition of a hostel booker...and acted more like a hostel hooker (quite embarrassing, actually), which I hope doesn’t become a “trend” at Danhostel.
• Prices are consistent, usually under DKK 200,- ; FELT-covered mattresses...bye-bye creepy creeping bed sheets!!!!!!!!!!!!
• For he/she whom have tried everything: sure...live it up at the Danhostel-if it is the only way you are able to see great TIVOLI fireworks; and, if you are armored against noise by bringing ear plugs, legal herbal sedatives such as St. John’s Wort, Kava Kava, etc, or if you can afford to rent the whole floor in order to live like a zen master hostel booker!
