Hostels in Copenhagen are of a very high standard but they can also be very expensive.
Here are some things that you might want to consider before booking a hostel in Copenhagen.
- Price - Hostels in Copenhagen are some of the most expensive in Europe. In bed in a dorm room starts at €14 per night (normally large dorm rooms), but expect to pay €25 to €40 per night in a medium-sized dorm room (6 to 10 beds).
- Location - Copenhagen is a large city so it's best to stay in a central location close to the top sights and nightlife. (All hostels listed below are in central locations.)
