Went with a few friends and stayed for one night. LOCATION The hostel is located right near the harbor, but it was quite a walk from the central bus station - at least 15 minutes. However, it is very close to the main shopping areas, the sea, and if you want to take public transit, there's a trolley and bus... More

We paid fortune for a room worse than my dorms. Bathroom didn't have a working light and no window either. Sink tubes weren't attached to anything so all the water was leaking on my feet. Shower was just a hole in the middle of the tiny bathroom. Was afraid to use it in case the whole room would flood. Terrible... More

First and last stay at City Sleep-In - that's for sure. If backpacker's standards (and I've stayed on a bunch of those around the world), fine, but then let the price be adjusted hence. I paid 550 DKK for a room plus linen. This money buys you an absolutely agreable accomodation in other Danish and international cities so I was... More

A very simple hotel, no luxery, but very cheap compared to other hotels in the area. And short distances to the attractiones in Aarhus. The atmosphere is nice. Internet, biljard and a beautiful garden to relax after walking around in the city. I paid (once) dkk 20. (2,7 euro/3,5 $) for linnen/towel. I hope to be back at City Sleep-In... More

To be a hostel with a reception which is only manned at certain times during the day, I think they charge too much for a twin room with en-suite bathroom. You have to hire bed linen and make your own beds. Towels have to be hired as well. The room was extremely basic and could have been cleaned a bit... More

I have just returned from staying at the City Sleep-In. As we were attending the Smukfest Festival in nearby Skanderborg we just needed a place to sleep and shower. The room was small and basic. It had a private bathroom/wet room which, like the room, was small but clean and functional. The corridors were quiet and we felt very safe... More

I though the City Sleep-In was a pretty decent hostel for it's price and location. The bathrooms were not very clean and the rooms were cramped however, the full kitchen was very nice to have, and there is a large amount of common space which was nice to get too meet people. There were multiple lunges, inside and out, pool... More

I spent two nights here because I was attending an educational in a city close by. I emailed them requesting an early check in and what time reception hours were. We got there just time in before reception closed for the day 11am til 4pm and were told to put our luggage in an open luggage room and come back... More

Fine for a night or 2. Fairly run down but it does the job. I was in a 6 bed dorm and it was very spacious. Lockers don't have locks so you need to have your own or buy one when you get here. The showers and bathrooms could definitely be better! The directions I had to get here (given... More

City sleep in is a nice basic place with nice people. The rooms are small but, with enough place to move around. The kitchen facilities are okey with good space. The rates are a little pricey but it´s Denmark. Conclusion the City Sleep-in was not that bad as i have been reading in here. But the hostel should be better... More
