All rooms at Urban Camper Hostel & Bar are located inside the building, but most rooms are indoor tents, while a few are private double rooms. The indoor tents include large lockers and ventilation for comfort. The modern bathrooms are shared.

The idea of the Camper Hostel is fantastic, the bar was full of life in the night, but you could also enjoy your rest, because the tents are at an other part of the building. Breakfast was delicious and cheap!

    This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in!!! Everything is made to make you feel welcome, from the cheerful staff to the homey café. The pods offer great privacy and safe storage of all of your belongings, which is an appreciated point. They also offer bike rental, an amazing breakfast and free copenhagen maps. I wish I could have stayed longer but I will be back !!!

    I choosed the dormitory bed. Some 30 cm wide mattress. Absolutely comfortable. If well sleeping is a purpose then I would recommend. Instead of other hostels with some 10 cm wide mattresses. Great location. Few hundred meters from central station. Cool entertainment posiibilities inside the hotel.
