Where We Stayed

 

This is a brief summary of some of the places we stayed during our 7 month trip in Europe in 2000. Things might have changed since then so take that into consideration.

Copenhagen:

Chickens Pensione - Torvegade 36, Copenhagen, Denmark Ph: 45 32 95 32 73
Double bed, shared bathroom.
Big, clean rooms with duvet comforters, like sleeping at home! Centrally located. Fridge but no kitchen use.

Aarhus Vandrerhjem Pavillion - Marienlundsvej 10, Risskov, Arhus, Denmark Ph: 45 8616 7298
1 set of bunks, private bathroom
Set in a forest/park, 3K from town. Bus stops right by the hostel. Standard HI rooms with private bathrooms. Kitchen but oddly enough, no dishes. Breakfast available but not included.

Norway:

Berit Pensione - Oslo, Norway, 47 22 56 03 83
1 set of bunks, shared bathroom.
Rooms and beds rented out in a private pensione (her apartment). Use of kitchen. 3 metro stops from the center. Hot water scarce in the single shower. A good value for expensive Oslo. Breakfast not included.

Marken Gjesthus - Kong Oscarsgt. 45 5017 Bergen, Norway Ph: 47 55 31 44 04
Double bed, shared bathroom.
Basic doubles and dorms close to the train station. Breakfast not included. Free laundry. Not really worth the price.

Sweden:

Af Chapman & Skeppsholmen - Vastra Brobanken, 111 49, Stockholm, Sweden Ph: 08 463 22 66
1 set of bunks, shared bathroom.
We stayed in Skeppsholmen (the building across from the boat) as the boat (Af Chapman) was full. Standard HI rooms. Nice kitchen. For the modest, not all showers were curtained off - sort of a gym feel. Book early, fills up months in advance.

Linne Vandrarhem Hostel - Vegagatan 22, Gotborg, Sweden Ph: 46 (0)31 12 10 60
2 single beds, shared bathroom.
Large, bright rooms. I could see some of the rooms having street noise. Kitchen.

Germany:

Circus Hostel - Rosa Luxemburg Str. 39- 41 D-10178 Berlin, Germany Ph: 4930-28391433
2 single beds, shared bathroom.
Bright, spacious rooms with extremely helpful staff. One of the best hostels we stayed in. Lots of bathrooms, finding a shower wasn't a problem. Hostel offers a fantastic walking tour - Brewers Best of Berlin.

Hotel Pension Von Blumfield - Lange Reihe 54, Hamburg, Germany 24 58 60
Double bed, shared bathroom.
Large, bright rooms - some might have street noise. Friendly hosts, close to the train station. Breakfast included.

Pensione Haydn - Haydnstrasse 9, Munich, Germany, 53 11 99
Double bed, shared bathroom.
Clean doubles with TV. 10-15 minute walk to train station. Breakfast included.

Czech. Republic

Hostel Standart - Pristavni 2, 170 00 Praha 7 Ph: 420 2 875258
2 single beds (if you could call them that), shared bathroom.
Grimy and old but cheap if you aren't picky. Bathroom are dark and scary. Staff was miserable. 2 trams stops from the railway station. Includes breakfast.
