Urban Camper Hostel & Bar, hotel in Copenhagen

Situated in the trendy Nørrebro district in Copenhagen, Urban Camper Hostel & Bar offers a new kind of hostel accommodation with 4-person dorms in the form of large, indoor tents.

They are tarps divided into a building. In other words, it's not nice at all. There's no natural light if you think there's going to be light. In the bathroom there was a smell of urine in the bathtubs. And the staff at no point wants to help you. They do it half-heartedly! And they even want to charge you for breathing 😵‍💫

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location and easily accessible. Double pods were comfy and modern with lights, extraction fan and PowerPoints. Pin pad access was hit and miss but got there in the end. Great value for money in a city with limited hostels on offer when you’re on a budget.

    Kind staff well oriented to help and fix problems. The outlet in my bed didn't work and they inmediately changed me to another room before the check in. It was a better accomodation without extra charge. Good service. Really comfortable bed, good wifi conection, clean room, capsules with code which give you privacy and so safe to keep your belogings inside. Better location imposible, just in the Nyhavn. And all this for a cheap price. It exceeded my expectations, I would be glad to come back to this hostel

    Great combo of hotel & hostel. My solo room was bright, clean, and comfortable, though small. Lots of social space--games, pub, outdoor seating, events, buffet breakfast with good variety. Can mingle or be alone comfortably. Staff very friendly, helpful, and efficient. Great location--just two blocks from Kongens Nytorv & very close to many historic sites! Felt very safe. I'll stay here again!

    Rooms were really clean, small but good organized. I really liked how they put four people who had the same check in and check out date. Other than that the kitchen is very cheap to use, with a lot of options. I can easily say it was the best hostel I have ever stayed.

    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.
