Steel House offers private rooms and dormitory rooms. Dormitory rooms come with lockers and convenient power sockets by each bed, and has access to shared bathroom facilities. The private rooms has its own bathroom with a shower.

Great design, it looks more like a hotel. The rooms are very clean. The location is fantastic - everything I was interested in as a tourist was within walking distance. The common area has a great vibe, although I didn't actually use any of the activities (like a pool, games, or cinema). Large lockers for belongings, and there's even a rail for your clothes (but locks are paid, and hangers are not provided. Bring your own from home if you need them).

    Everything was perfect, this was honestly the best hostel I have ever stayed in, there was plenty of activities happening every day, the staff was really friendly, rooms were small, but comfortable, they have amazing cheap drinks in several bars, and we also enjoyed the breakfast and pizza buffets available every day. Also the location is great, just 8 minutes to the central station. Perfect accommodation!

    Friendly staff, super great location, you have a Netto supermarket just in front of the building. The communal lounge area is amazing with pool tables, comfy chairs, and a terrace. The hostel is clean overall, no surprise by Nordic standards actually. You have lockers in the rooms as well that are assigned to your bed, just make sure to bring a padlock, although it's super safe in Copenhagen. In short, the stay is really nice there, if you come with friends you won't get bored, if you come alone it's quite convenient.

    The hostel is really modern and perfect for meeting new people, especially for who is traveling alone! The bar and lobby are always full of people, fun evenings are organized almost every day and tours to discover Copenhagen! Using the kitchen is very useful and cheap. There is everything you could need and the atmosphere is very hyggeligt! <3 I would definitely recommend it!

    Copenhagen is expensive, and this is a really good budget option. I had a private room with shared bathroom and was very pleased all round. The Hostel is busy with a seemingly non stop bar and warnings about it being a noisy place. I wasn't disturbed at all up on the 4th floor. My room was quite quirky with a train carriage theme - 2 bunk beds and a very comfy double. Shared bathroom directly across the corridor, which was very convenient. And a great location for exploring the city.
