Hostelworld says:

Danhostel Copenhagen Downtown was rated the best in Denmark at the 2011 Hoscars, and it's easy to see why. They're centrally located, just between Christiansborg Palace and the Tivoli gardens, within walking distance of Kastellet, the Little Mermaid and Freetown Christiania. Many Hostelworld guests have said 'it's probably the best value for price you will without leaving the central area'. We like that this clean hostel loans out hair dryers, laptops and iPads. The onsite bar and cafe has games and a daily happy hour.

Property Information:

Our hostel was a Hoscar winner in 2012 and is the only hostel in the downtown area which is part of of Europe's Famous Hostels.

We have free linen, laundry facilities and free Wi-Fi and iPad rental!

We're located in the old part of downtown Copenhagen, next to City Hall Square. Our location is outstanding for Copenhagen hotspots, whether it's the nightlife, the longest walking street in the world (Stroget), restaurants, theatres or attractions like Tivoli, the harbour beach or museums, galleries or parliament. Bohemian Christiania and the world famous the Little Mermaid are also close by.

With handy transport links on your doorstep, you are within easy reach of everything that the city and the rest of Denmark has to offer.

Our style is relaxed, cosy and Scandinavian, made in a modern way. Our lounge provides the ideal surroundings to chill out, relax or socialise with other guests.

Join us for some DVD's in our cosy lounge bed!

If you're looking for more liquid entertainment, make yourself comfortable in one of downtown's cheapest bars, located right in the lounge area there you can enjoy playing pool, foosball or darts with your (new) friends. We've got tournaments and Happy Hour every night. Special beers to taste its value for this country.

We also have Free Walking tours and Pub Crawls starting from the hostel.

We have 75 rooms to suit every budget. There are private rooms for two-to-five people or shared dormitories for four-to-10 people. Many of our rooms feature private bathrooms and individual power sockets, seating areas, personal reading lights, hand basins and mirrors. Private lockers are available for only DKK30 for 24hrs. All private rooms overlook the square (named Vandkunsten) with a fountain from year 1910 - a real oasis.

    I think what puts us ahead of the rest is that we're the real backpackers' in town, made by travellers for travellers. We want you to experience the real Denmark, its people, its humor and its personality. I believe that this place is the expression of a hostel how should be all around the world - full of magic, activities, livable common areas and crazy people that give this place an enjoyable and fun atmosphere.
    The common area features a Scandinavian retro design with recycled wooden floors from old Copenhagen apartments used for the tables and benches, plus a lot of bright colors, wall maps, and other design features to make the area warm and welcoming.
    There's lots to do in this area but I definitely recommend visitng Christiania - the Freetown - a unique place occupied/squatted in 1971 and now a community, where people live and chill out. Furthermore, the place has grown with bars, cafés, restaurants, concert places, art and has its own very peculiar atmosphere.
    If noticed in advance, we can provide all kinds of food/drinks for special needs, such as gluten-free bread. Lactose free milk (soya drink) is always in stock.

    Great location near the centre of everything. Great little bar downstairs for drinks and food, can produce some noise if you're in a room facing the street. A little light on for facilities for the number of people staying there.
