A bed at this hostel is very well priced! And comfy too! The rooms are very clean and well cared for and I really liked that the hostel has a well-established set of rules and policies that help keep the property clean, comfortable, and safe for all guests. I am very thankful that Sleep in Heaven exists because staying here allowed me to save on my accommodation in Copenhagen while allowing me to enjoy the very best that the Danish capital has to offer. The hostel's staff truly goes above and beyond in providing information about the city to all guests and they also do a great job of staffing the hostel's cafe and bar, which offers an excellent selection of coffees, beers, and snacks. If you are under 35, do yourself a favor and book a night here - you will sleep comfortably, save money, and meet several wonderful people amongst the staff who are passionate about sharing their knowledge of Copenhagen with the hostel's guests.

    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.

    Great location and the breakfast was very good value for money. Staff were super friendly and helpful - I felt very comfortable and “at home” in the guesthouse, which isn’t usually the case for me when I stay at a youth hostel.

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!

    The location was perfect near the train station and 10 minute walk from the city centre If you want something cheap just to sleep and have fun it’s the best solution ! If you want something comfortable and spacious I wouldn’t recommend! The hostel had many activities and party’s to spend time and meet new people

    Best hostel we’ve ever stayed in. So clean and the pods were really soundproof so you do not get disturbed at all at night. There are lots of toilets/showers/sinks so you never have to wait to use. Really great location close to a metro station and walkable to the zoo and tivoli gardens.

    We booked an entire room for 2, even though it came with the standard 6 bunk beds. The room had its own toilet and shower and lockers. Honestly, this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in, I think it might be a tight fit if you stayed with 5 other strangers. But it was clean, had great facilities, a welcoming lobby and is conveniently located.

    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.
