Denmark
On a recent trip I stayed at this hostel in Copenhagen and it was a great base for exploring the city, as well as one of the most affordable places to stay in this pricey city.
It’s in the perfect location right near Vesterbro, the hip quarter jammed with vintage clothes stores, trendy nightclubs and late-night bars – with an unbeatable view of the city from all the rooms as it's housed in one of Copenhagen’s few tall buildings.
There’s a bar and restaurant on the premises, and a kitchen which is helpful for budget travelers.

The layout is great, a large communal area including sofas, a pool table, free Internet, an outside terrace, and beer on tap at reception.
The hostel’s buzz line is “It’s more fun”, with a maximum age for guests of 3; but actually Sleep-in-Heaven is a pretty tight ship, and the over-efficiency of the staff can sterilise the atmosphere a little.

Danhostel Copenhagen have opened a designer youth hostel in one of the city’s few tall buildings. Every room has a stunning view and the shared rooms aimed at backpackers start at about 10 pounds. Budget rooms with more privacy are available, too.
