Two-pearl Sleep in Heaven is a stylish hostel in Nørrebro, one of Copenhagen's trendy neighborhoods located outside the city center. Its 22 dorms and private rooms are bright and modern, with hardwood floors and colorful accents. Dorms are typical, cramped with metal bunk beds, and the private rooms have breathing room with double beds, and Wi-Fi is free throughout, but there are no en-suite bathrooms. There's no kitchen, but there's a common lounge and a breakfast room, plus a bar and a beer garden. A good alternative for those who prefer being more central is Generator Hostel Copenhagen, right in the heart of the tourist area.
Scene
Students, backpackers, and young budget travelers gather at a beer garden
The hostel's bohemian atmosphere caters to the backpacker crowd, students, and a mix of young budget travelers. A simple plywood counter serves as a bar and a reception desk, backed by shelves on a chalkboard wall where drink prices are visible between bottles of Bacardi. A vast bulletin board of helpful notices and local events stretches along the hallway, and there's a laid-back breakfast area around the corner, with chunky wood communal tables, window benches, industrial-chic pendants, and a small business corner with two desktop computers. The L-shaped space looks down onto the floor below, where a common area has games and a pool table. Out back, colored lights decorate a beer garden, where guests fill up picnic tables spread out under umbrellas.
Location
On a cobbled street in a trendy neighborhood, outside the city center
The hostel is located on a cobbled side street in the Nørrebro area of Copenhagen, a six-minute drive (or 16- to 25-minute ride on public transportation) from the city center. It's a trendy, youthful neighborhood, filled with bars, clubs, cafes, and boutiques. There’s plenty of public transportation within walking distance, making it easy to access other parts of the city; it's 13 minutes to Tivoli Gardens, 15 minutes to Copenhagen’s Central Station, and 21 minutes to the National Museum of Denmark via public transportation. Expect a 22-minute drive to Copenhagen Airport, or a 30-minute ride on the M2 line from the Forum metro stop.

Drinks from the lobby bar can be taken to the common lounge area, where there's a pool table and board games, or outside into the beer garden.
