Is there any way to make a reservation from the U.S for these hostels? These are the first stops on my trip. Just trying to get any opinions to help narrow the possibilities

Aneubis, I haven't stayed at those Copenhagen hostels, but I researched the issue fairly thoroughly because I'm going to Copenhagen in July. (See my posts elsewhere about Copenhagen hostels.)

Basically, they have a factory or warehouse feeling to them, with dozens of beds in the same room. Lots of people seem to be happy with them, but I didn't like the concept. The problem is that a central hostel with only a few beds to a room is scarcely available and if so, costs a lot more. The YHA hostels have a reasonable number of beds, but require a bus or train connection (not that long, though).
