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.

I have been travelling since the last 7 years (have travelling to over 150 cities) and I would rate this hostel as the second best on my list. What a concept! Tents in a building combined with a bar. I initially planned to stay in Copenhagen for 2 nights but the vibe of this hostel made me come back again on the weekend and I stayed here for 4 nights in all. I spent less time travelling in the city and more in the bar here as it was so much fun. They have a few game tables set up, alcohol options are great and the vibe is 10/10. The rooms are kept clean, the beds are cosy, showers are toooo good and the staff is the best. I would like to give it a -1 for the location but the other things are 11/10 and hence the overall experience is 10/10. When in Copenhagen, stay no where else but at Urban Camper.

I got a recommendation of this hostel from a guy whom I met at the airport by chance and it was so lucky one. The atmosphere and reception guys are so great and helpful, more than expectation. Facilities are clean and easy to use. Especially the locker is worked w/ enty card which is an exraordinary point. Location is a little far from the metro but Copenhagen is a bike city so it is manageable considering other great points. Thanks for staying at this hostel and will definitely visit again!

You are literally in the middle of the city and you can sleep with the windows opened, without hearing a single car passing by. Exactly what I wanted. Great value for the price.

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.

    Everything was perfect, this was honestly the best hostel I have ever stayed in, there was plenty of activities happening every day, the staff was really friendly, rooms were small, but comfortable, they have amazing cheap drinks in several bars, and we also enjoyed the breakfast and pizza buffets available every day. Also the location is great, just 8 minutes to the central station. Perfect accommodation!

    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.

    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.
