MEININGER Hotel Copenhagen
Reliable chain hostel with bar crawls and the best station access in Copenhagen
Chain hostel-hotel hybrid in Vesterbro, 2 minutes from Central Station. Bar crawls, evening entertainment, shared kitchen, karaoke, and live music. Family-friendly with private rooms alongside dorms.
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.
