Do you need to bring bed linen to a Danhostel?
Linen, breakfast and house rules.
Short answer
Yes, or you rent it there: bed linen is mandatory at every Danhostel, and you can bring it yourself or rent it at the hostel. Breakfast is sold separately at many hostels, usually as a buffet or tray, and must normally be ordered by the day before. Quiet hours are from 23.00 to 07.00. Animals are generally not allowed except guide dogs, but many hostels have special rooms where dogs are welcome by prior arrangement.
Why
- Linen is mandatory for every guest.
- Breakfast has to be ordered in advance.
- House rules set quiet hours at night.
Details
A typical Danhostel breakfast has bread, butter, dairy products, cereals, porridge, muesli, cheese, jam, honey, cold cuts and drinks.
Tip
Pack your own sheets and duvet cover to save the rental fee, and ask the hostel whether a sleeping bag is accepted.
What may differ
Rental prices for linen and breakfast differ from hostel to hostel.
Common misconception
You can sleep in your own sleeping bag without linen at any hostel.
What actually happens
At Danhostel bed linen is mandatory, either your own or rented.
