Bottom Line

Two-pearl Sleep in Heaven is a stylish hostel in Nørrebro, one of Copenhagen's trendy neighborhoods located outside the city center. Its 22 dorms and private rooms are bright and modern, with hardwood floors and colorful accents. Dorms are typical, cramped with metal bunk beds, and the private rooms have breathing room with double beds, and Wi-Fi is free throughout, but there are no en-suite bathrooms. There's no kitchen, but there's a common lounge and a breakfast room, plus a bar and a beer garden. A good alternative for those who prefer being more central is Generator Hostel Copenhagen, right in the heart of the tourist area.

Sleep in Heaven

Scene

Students, backpackers, and young budget travelers gather at a beer garden 

The hostel's bohemian atmosphere caters to the backpacker crowd, students, and a mix of young budget travelers. A simple plywood counter serves as a bar and a reception desk, backed by shelves on a chalkboard wall where drink prices are visible between bottles of Bacardi. A vast bulletin board of helpful notices and local events stretches along the hallway, and there's a laid-back breakfast area around the corner, with chunky wood communal tables, window benches, industrial-chic pendants, and a small business corner with two desktop computers. The L-shaped space looks down onto the floor below, where a common area has games and a pool table. Out back, colored lights decorate a beer garden, where guests fill up picnic tables spread out under umbrellas.

Location

On a cobbled street in a trendy neighborhood, outside the city center

The hostel is located on a cobbled side street in the Nørrebro area of Copenhagen, a six-minute drive (or 16- to 25-minute ride on public transportation) from the city center. It's a trendy, youthful neighborhood, filled with bars, clubs, cafes, and boutiques. There’s plenty of public transportation within walking distance, making it easy to access other parts of the city; it's 13 minutes to Tivoli Gardens, 15 minutes to Copenhagen’s Central Station, and 21 minutes to the National Museum of Denmark via public transportation. Expect a 22-minute drive to Copenhagen Airport, or a 30-minute ride on the M2 line from the Forum metro stop.

Rooms

Simple shared dorms and private rooms, and freebies include lockers, linens, and Wi-Fi

Sleep in Heaven's dorms and private rooms all have hardwood floors and a simple, but colorful decor. Walls are painted in bright yellow or red, and there are patterned window dressings. The shared dorms are typical, with stacks of metal bunk beds, each with reading lights and bed linens. Hooks provide places to hang clothing above small wooden racks for shoes or other items, and there are secure lockers for every guest. Private rooms have double beds with simple bedside tables, reading lamps, and secure lockers. Free Wi-Fi comes standard. The bathrooms and showers are all communal (men's and women's), accessed via hallways brightly painted hallways. Past guests have noted that they're clean, with plenty of showers and hot water.
