Our Honest Take
From the Hostelpedia team. No BS, just real advice
MEININGER is the Toyota of Copenhagen hostels: reliable, well-made, and you know exactly what you're getting. It won't win any awards for personality (that's what Urban Camper and Downtown are for), but the 8.0 rating from 12,500+ reviews proves that consistency at this scale is its own achievement. The 2-minute station access makes it the obvious choice for travelers doing Copenhagen as part of a bigger Scandinavia loop. The kitchen is the real MVP here: in a city where eating out costs a fortune, MEININGER's kitchen pays for the room difference.
🎯 Insider Tips
- 1Netto supermarket is 3 minutes away. Stock up on breakfast supplies and save €8/day.
- 2The bar crawl hits the Meatpacking District. Warpigs (BBQ + craft beer) is the first stop and often the best.
- 3If you're heading to Malmö, trains from Central Station take 35 minutes. MEININGER is the closest hostel to the platform.
- 4Ask about the garden area. In summer it's a quieter alternative to the bar for evening drinks.
🔥 Why We Love It
Two minutes from Central Station. No other hostel in Copenhagen is this close to the train platforms.
The MEININGER brand means consistent quality. Clean rooms, working facilities, professional staff.
Shared kitchen is large enough for 15+ people cooking simultaneously. That saves serious money in Copenhagen.
Pet-friendly. One of very few Copenhagen hostels that welcomes dogs, which matters for Scandinavia rail travelers.
Happy hour prices at the bar and regular karaoke nights. Social enough without being a party hostel.
📖 The Full Story
MEININGER occupies a prime Vesterbro address on Colbjørnsensgade, literally 2 minutes walk from Copenhagen Central Station. The MEININGER brand is well-known across Europe for delivering consistent, no-surprises hostel-hotel hybrids, and the Copenhagen location holds to that standard.
The social programming is solid: bar crawls through the Vesterbro and Meatpacking District circuit, evening entertainment, karaoke nights, and live music events. The hostel bar has happy hour pricing that makes Copenhagen almost affordable. The shared kitchen is large and well-maintained, essential for budget survival.
Rooms range from 4-bed dorms to private family rooms. The hostel is pet-friendly, which is unusual and useful for travelers with dogs doing Scandinavia by train. The building is modern, clean, and efficiently run. No surprises, no disappointments.
The location's real advantage is transit: trains to Malmö, buses to the airport, and the 24/7 metro are all within 2 minutes. For travelers doing multi-city Scandinavian trips, MEININGER is the most logical base.
