Urban House

Very nice hostel. I don’t have much experience in hostels however I liked having lockers in the rooms, free towels and the beds were comfortable! We only stayed one night but I would have stayed another night if we were staying in Copenhagen longer. I like being so close to the train station and having a shower ensuite! If you’re traveling through Copenhagen and want friendly service, comfortable beds and a very good price stay here!

Huge hostel in Copenhagen.
THE GOOD:
–Located less than 5 minutes walking from the train station.
–Impressive kitchen (not like I used it or anything).
–Access codes means no key deposit and no extra item to lug around and worry about losing.
The okay:
–The rooms were clean and the sheets/​free towel were actually pretty nice. There’s an ensuite bathroom with a decent shower.
–Wifi throughout but can slow down at night when everyone is back and uploading photos.
–Lots of common areas but the place is so big that I didn’t find people very social.
The bad:
–No free luggage storage and instead they have pay lockers!
–I wish the cinema room didn’t play such old ass movies.

I am giving the Urban House four stars but lets be very clear here… this is not a four star hotel, it is an upscale hostel and as such it does that very well. The rooms were clean, the staff friendly and the lobby had a vibe, let’s call it «College Dorm like». Morning, noon and night, the lobby was busy, whether it be the bar, the «cinema» or any of the various sitting areas. There is a self help kitchen (never used it) but it looked good.
Check in was a breeze as I received an email a few hours before I checked in with my passcode which opened the door to my floor and to my room. The room was decently sized — we had a bunkalow (double bed and a bunk bed) with one toilet room with a sink and another shower room with a sink. Windows opened onto a courtyard below with nothing to see but we were not meant to spend time in the room regardless. By the time we got back to the room each night, we went right to sleep. There was a small shelf above the bed to store small items on and a bench and a chair but otherwise there was only a set of lockers on one wall. Suitcases fit under the bunk bed to keep enough walking around room.
A couple of issues — no shower curtain. As a result the water tended to spray out of the shower and cover the floor — better to pick up the floor mat before taking a shower and then put it down after the shower was over but as the housekeepers only come every third day, you need to keep picking it up again. Not a big deal if you remember this is essentially a hostel and not a true hotel. Second issue, from time the time the bathrooms seemed to smell of sulfur — you know, that wonderful rotten egg aroma. This seemed to emanate from the pipes. Not sure what the Urban House can do to correct this but we would just keep the doors open to the bathrooms when we weren’t using them and keep a window open so the odor would eventually dissipate.
On the last day, I tried one of their hot dogs — you can choose pork, pork & cheese, beef or veggie and the toppings made them really unique. I had a «Far East Beast» with peanuts, cilantro, green onions and teriyaki sauce. Very cool.
Oh, one more thing, walk out the door to the left down the street and turn right on the second block. A couple of really nice restaurants including a coffee shop Risteriet Halmtorvet. The breakfast plate is really reasonable with great bread, danish, yogurt and great coffee. I am writing a separate review of this place.
If you want basic clean accommodations in Copenhagen, the Urban House is a great choice.

We stayed for 4 nights at the end of March and it was great! It was my first time staying in a hostel and it definitely made my trip more fun! It was a great atmosphere with good food and drinks. There is also a large kitchen where you can cook and store your own food. There was a pool table, foosball table, board games and plenty of books to read for entertainment.
There were a few complications when we were there because it had just opened. Check in was a little long because the computer had double booked for the weekend but everything was resolved. Our room wasn’t cleaned after the third day but as soon as we asked for new towels they were provided.
The staff seemed like they were still getting familiarized with everything. They were all extremely friendly and went out of their way to help us. One of us had an ear infection and one of the girls found us a doctor and made an appointment for us.
Overall we had a great time and I will definitely be coming back in the future!

I didn’t stay in the hostel so this review is for the bar only. Cheaper than other places in the hip Vesterbrø area, there’s a nice cool vibe to it. The bar staff still have to find their feet but all of them are friendly and they are trying their best. I highly recommend their Vesterbrønx cocktail made with rum, orange and cinnamon. Yum!

love this place, they have thought of everything about how to give you the best stay in a hostel. The bar is super nice, and great hotdogs. The laundry place is fitted with tv, and the kitchen for use is top pro. gameroom and tv room, you can’t get bored when you stay inside
The rooms are clean and nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
This is a new open hostel, that really wants to do the best. Love the staffs t-​shirt writing: Just ask me… i know nothing yet.
wonderfull experience and can recommend it to everyone

Urban House is a newly refurbished, self-​serviced, design hostel with a large bar /​social area on the ground floor. Stayed for 3 nights and the price is really cheap for a private ensuite in Copenhagen. Its a quick walk from the central station and very close to Tivoli, Strøget, and Vesterbro.
The hostel: don’t even need to check-​in — you’ll receive the door code and room number in the email and in you go! it’s super convenient and check-​out time is 12pm. They clean your room every 3 days if you are staying for a longer period of time. The room is simple and a good size. It includes a sizable bathroom with heated floors. There is soap in the shower and towels are provided. Bed was comfortable enough. Didnt watch TV but international travelers: you can charge your USB device on the tv to avoid buying an adapter! One device only though. It does feel like everything was rushed to completion, but it is a hostel right?
Wifi: Room was on the first floor and WIFI was basically unusable. Would recommend going to the bar or social /​game area.
The bar: definitely looks like they spend most of their money on the first floor. The place was busy on the weekend, needed to wait at least 15 min to get served. There was a DJ spinning some disco & house music on Sat. I tried two of their house cocktails, which were not mixed very well but still tasty! The beer selection was okay but they might run out near the end of the night.
