Train to Copenhagen and Sleap in Heaven Hostel

Going from the Czech Reupblic, central Europe, up to Scandinavia by train, does sound a little strange, and up to Sweden is almost a full day’s travel. But with days left on my Interrail, why pay for a flight?!

I got an early train to Hamburg for 7hrs, and then onto a small train, only 3 cars, to Copenhagen. The train was so small because the train itself goes onto the ferry to take you across to Denmark! I met a Finnish girl on the train who happened to also be vegetarian!

After the ferry crossed we got back onto the train which took us the rest of the way, and after we got our bearings I walked to the Sleep in Heaven hostel, a good 20min walk from the main station with a pack!

As the light was rapidly fading and rain starting, I got to the hostel just in time.

Rooms are fairly cramped. They have 3 TRIPPLE bunks, very few lockers, and only a couple of toilets and showers. But they do have a large common area with pool table, board games, free internet (2 ancient imacs), and a beer garden.

All of the hostels in Copenhagen seemed to be a bit of a rip off, being expensive and charging every possibly extra, like renting sheets, coins for lockers etc. The “luggage room” is also a little dodgy, basically some wooden shelves outside with a pad lock. But kept dry enough.
