The Danhostel Copenhagen City is one of the largest European hostels,[3] the biggest in a metropolitan area.[1]
It is located in a high rise building on the Port of Copenhagen waterfront, Denmark.
History
The building was the first Copenhagen high-rise tower and was originally intended to be coupled with a never-built tower on the other side of the bridge. It was the tallest building of Denmark from 1955 to 1958, when it was surpassed by the Radisson Blu Falconer Hotel.[2] It formerly hosted the Hotel Europa; the building was later renovated and in 2004 was re-opened as an hostel.[4]
Its interior furniture was designed by the Danish firm Gubi recalling with its colors Denmark's traditional housing style.[3]
Facilities
The hostel has 1020 beds in dormitories or smaller rooms.[1] Its basement hosts kitchen facilities while in the ground floor is located an Internet café.[5]
