In case you haven’t been following along, I began my month long European excursion in May 2014, escorting eleven people through four Eastern/Central European Countries in eleven days and all of them went back home to Cincinnati, Ohio after the trip except one…my friend Richard. He and I went on to Munich and Amsterdam for about six nights, and flew to Copenhagen, Denmark, where we were meeting two new Tour participants. Their flights were to arrive a bit earlier than ours, so they were to meet us at our baggage claim. We found one of them and waited for about 15 minutes before receiving a text from the fourth informing us of her flight’s cancellation and new arrival time the following day.
Our first stop for a couple of nights was Copenhagen, then we were traveling to Stockholm, Sweden, and two Cities in Norway. I had booked a hostel in Copenhagen, which was a new experience for me. I’ve used Couchsurfing.org, VRBO, and Airbnb, but never a hostel. Having researched lots of possibilities in Copenhagen, I booked the Generator Hostel. It’s not your ordinary hostel as you’ll see from these photos.
Here’s a view of the surrounding buildings while sitting on one of the outdoor patio furniture seats…
I played pool one evening in the recreational area pictured here with a twenty-something threesome and won! Love that funky chair!
It wasn’t all twenty-somethings…some of the guests were my age! The Bocce ball area is very nice…
Here’s an artistic wall mural…
Another view outside…
The rooms had twin beds with a bathroom. They were small, but hey, for a hostel it was great and it was quiet! Come back tomorrow and take a canal boat ride with me!
It has been some time since I stayed in hostel and none of them were like this. This is more like a luxury hotel compared to some of the ones I have been in. I’m speechless. (That doesn’t happen often.)

I stayed at the one in Dublin couples of years back and was very happy and surprised it was a hostel. Very basic but clean and comfortable.
