It wasn't one of my fav stays. The air in the room was very stuffy during the night. It wasn't a hostel's fault but some of people in my room were very noisy (the girl used hairdryer at 11 pm..). Also there were separated showers and toilets but without a sink. The only one I found in my room - I consider it kind of weird. The luggage room is additionally paid. Usually it's not.
The room was very pretty. The hostel has its own pub where organize parties. The staff was very nice and helpful :)

There were a few occasions where my key card did not work and had to get it checked a couple of times so i could not get into my dorm room, but the staff were always quick to help me out
The hostel was very easy to find and had a buzzing atmosphere. Friendly staff and quiet comfy rooms. The bar was fun to be in every night, especially at happy hour :D

“Good location for the price - perfect if you like partying”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 5 nights
I just didn't enjoy the vibe/atmosphere as much as I expected to and the partying just wasn't for me. The entire shower cabin (including what you hung up outside of the 'strictly shower' part) got soaked... due to the shower head not being able to be moved about. The room was incredibly small which wasn't as much an issue, except when everyone inside the room is trying to maneuver around at the same time; just a bit clumsy. The reception being in the bar itself was a little annoying (especially if you check in late and a whole party is going on - it feels like you are trying to lug yourself and your bags through a packed nightclub).
The location was perfect and the hostel was exactly as advertised. The showers had good shower pressure and both the showers and the toilets were cleaner than I expected. There weren't that many showers/toilets for the amount of people on the floor, but somehow this never was a problem for me and I could always go in whenever I needed/wanted to. Not too loud or too noisy for being so downtown (note: it was winter, beginning of January so Copenhagen is not too touristy then anyway - this thus might be different in high season).

No kitchen, showers and general space in the hostel is limited. The shared area is basically a bar. Our room was advertised to have towels and no towels we’re given until I could show reception the details on the site. They said it was a mistake but this time they’ll provide them. Paying extra for luggage storage.
It was clean and in a nice location.
