The property location is amazing. What makes this place unique is its staff and the everyday event going on. It’s not only a spot for travelers but for locals as well. Highly recommend this place

It is central of city and free city tour twice a day. You have bar and enjoy there freely. So meeting freinds naturally.

The Bar is a great place to meet people, especially the events, which are organized by the hostel. The Rooms are nice and clean. The Beds are comfortable. The Staff is really nice and helpful.

Perfect location, everything a backpacker could ask for. The staff were friendly, the breakfast buffet was a staple of my morning every day, and the bar was filled with great travellers and fun times all night.

One of the coolest hostels I've ever visited 😁 the reception is a bar. Many entertainment options and many cool people in there. A few mins away from the city center. Would definitely go back one day :)

“I could go back”

The hostel is pretty well located, close to Tivoli and we did everything walking. They have a very nice common area/bar, and offer activities every night, it's great for people who want to meet others. We just wanted to visit on our own, but we still enjoyed having a drink there. The room we had had a sink inside so it was cool to be able to brush our theeth, wash our face or just get water directly from the room, I don't know if they're all the same. The beds were strong, not the kind that moves a lot when you go to the top bed, so it's cool. Though the matresses were really hard. The staff was globally pretty nice. The room had kind of a old train theme, which was nice. I would recommand. Each time I was passing by the hostel I saw people cleaning, they even did the basics in our room every day even though we had a 4bed private one for just 3 days.

The bed was pretty uncomfortable and the pillows were lumpy little squares. The music from the bar was quite loud and would sometimes go until 5am.
The location was perfect for getting pretty much anywhere you want. Tons of stuff to do and see within walking distance and for anything further away the train and metro were all super close. The breakfast was a standard buffet and a good price and the outdoor seating was a really nice spot to just sit and hangout without being stuck indoors.

The room is not very sound proof for the music downstairs. There is music until 5am. It's good for social. But not much when you try to sleep.
The bed is comfortable. Showers are very decent size and was cleaned regularly. There is a bar when you enter the hostel. Great for social. They also have live music.

Maybe the loud music if your room is at the first or second floor during night it can be a little bit annoying (not my case because I was at the fifth floor)
Excellent position in the city centre, near metro station, Norreport and almost everything you need.. Big and clean room and bunk bed (in a 4beds room), clean wc and showers, very great place... Great value for money if you consider the very high prices in CPH, you can also eat and drink at the hostel bar

“A completely deception, don't reccomend to anyone!!”
- • Leisure trip

The double room is very small with an improvised bed and a private bathroom without shower cabinet which implies you to get the entire bathoroom wet and unusable. The hostel only provided two towels for the bath and any towel for face. The cleaning service was the worst I have ever seen. When I arrive the apartment was with a lot of dust. In three nights I stayed I got the apartment cleaned only in the first night. After my warning to the reception I thought that it wasn't happen anymore but unfortunately they show me I was wrong. They never cleaned the floor which made that when I walk out of the bathroom I had to jump to the bed in order to not tread the filthy ground with the wet feet. The bathroom was never cleaned. The room has no accommodation besides the bed and a small table. The noise in the runners after the "night" is also awful.
The hostel is very well located in the heart of the city with many attractions nearby. You can walk everywhere. The staff is nice and they attend my demand to stay in a higher floor due to the noise in the street.

The loud music.
Location is excellent, within walking distance from many amenities, attractions, and metro. Easy to get to from the airport. The bar/ cafe is a great place to meet new people. They have nightly events to encourage travelers to meet. Wifi is strong, shower is ok. Reception is in their bar/cafe and room entrance is a different entrance. We stayed in a private room on the 4th floor which has an elevator. No smoking in the building but they have a nice cozy smoking area outside with heaters. Staff are pleasant. Rooms, hallways, stairwells always clean. There is a charge for any extra service; late check out, early check in, luggage storage, ear plugs etc.
