Excellent location, basic but a good price and well organised.

Perfect base for a weekend trip in Copenhagen
The location is very convenient, there is a supermarket right across the street and everything is in about a five minute walk. The hostel has a nice vibe and the bar/restaurant is affordable.
The bed was too firm for us.

Great location and the facilities were good for a hostel. Staff were friendly.
The room could do with a bit of a refresh and the en-suite wet room is not great if you wish to use the toilet after showering.

Location was good, the staff were very helpful and nice.
Room was very small. If you bring two suitcases, you’ll have very little space to move. But the size of the room is already mentioned in the details so wasn’t a surprise.

Hotel with a great location and but is not comfortable to sleep in.
The Hotel had a very good location. At the center of Copenhagen and at walking distance from the major attractions in the city. Has a nice bar at the reception level with different animations every day.
The rooms floors were smelly, the room was also very small and the bed not too comfortable. The TV was not working in our room for the entirety of our trip and there was no maintenance to repair it. (They gave us free drinks however to make up for it.

Great value-for-money place at the center of city
The location, friendly and helpful staff, the tidyness of the room. Would return here as it was good for the price you pay in this super expensive city.
Room was a bit small, but managable; there was noise coming from downstairs bar until 1am, it wasn't huge deal for us as we went to sleep aroumd that time and were super tired, but it was a bit annoying still. Definitelly something to keep in mind.

Was pricey for what you were given

Good value in great location
Amazing location and was a pretty decent price. Staff very friendly and helpful when my luggage was lost by the airline.
pillows were so small and unsupportive, we both woke up with stiff necks. Bathroom also extremely small making it hard to use.

Good and bad
Pillows were awful. Location is superb but noisy as hell Rooms are hella small Bathroom has absolutely no partition, not even for the shower area
4 April 2026
Very good
Very good location in the city center, close to all important places to visit. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Nice staff. You can play billiards and shuffleboard.
In the room there is no wardrobe for clothes, no simple dishes, like mugs or glasses, plates and cutlery, no electric kettle. In the bathroom there is no shower cabin, only a curtain which makes a lake on the floor. Breakfasts could be more varied, it would be nice to have warm dishes like scrambled eggs or sausages.

Good price, good location, zero privacy.
Very central! Okay prices
No privacy in the rooms. Just a big room with beds, no curtains or anything. The lockers in the room are on wheels and make a lot of noise when opening. You had to pay to have a locker after checkout.

I liked the best the location, the hostel was really big, so it was little bit noisey, especially in the bar area, I didn't like that you could not bring food with you, but overall it was good. Staff was very helpful and good!! Wi-Fi was good and working!!
I didn't like the noise from downstairs cafe/bar, but in the rooms everyone was really careful and good.

Ok for a short stay but expensive for what you get.
Very good location.
The whole weekend the elevator didn’t worked.

Very good value for money, would stay there again.
The location is excellent, the beds comfortable and the linen clean.
The floor of the room was dirty and sticky. The chair that was in the room was made out of leather and was ripped, leaving small brown pieces of leather everywhere, including our clothes and luggage. Otherwise everything was okay.
