“Cheap and does the job.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 7 nights

The room we booked was advertised as having a private shower which we didn't get, we had a private bathroom but no shower. The bed was quite uncomfortable at an odd height that made it hard to sit on with a weird solid metal pole on the edge of the bed which was uncomfortable to have to get on and off. This also made it difficult to get in and out of bed because there was only one side of the bed that you could get in and out of bed at. The bar downstairs is noisy even on 5th floor so sleeping was difficult with not being able to keep window open late at night. The breakfast is quite simple ham and cheese with bread and some cereals
The location is great and you cannot be much more central. The bar staff are friendly and nice. The hostel is lively and has a lot of functions on each night of the week. The price of drinks is reasonable also and their food is good. The value is how much cheaper it was than other options in the city. In particular with the stay being over coronavirus period. It is what you'd expect of a party sort of hostel, would be great for a group of friends or solo travel, less good if a couple perhaps.

- Toilets and showers were quite dirty - The mattress was extremely uncomfortable, the springs were so messed up that the mattress looked like a wave - It can be difficult to check-in in the evening/at night since the reception is in the middle of the busy bar
- The room was quite big, there was enough space for everyone's luggage - It was convenient to check-out early in the morning

The bathrooms weren't very clean or great all together. The breakfast was cheap but very poor in the variety of food for a buffet.
I like the location, it was very central and the cafe was nice.

“Nice city centre location, but no communal kitchen ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
They make the bar staff do the reception work, so as a result you will struggle to get any service from already overworked bar tenders... There was no communal kitchen (in a city where eating our is insanely expensive...) No common areas at all except for the paying, public bar.... Communal showers and toilets were not kept clean at all, particularly considering covid19 protocols. Hygiene was practically non-existent, which is worrying
A fairly good location, 10 minutes walk from the main station and nearby to lots of bars and attractions. Comfortable beds and quiet rooms. Safe key card system at all doors. Wi-Fi was strong and fast wherever I needed it. The bar downstairs is super cool

There is a long waiting time at the reception/bar etc. and hopefully you’re not in a rush. Not a huge amount of organization, but I came to realise that many of the workers are volunteers so that explains it.
Fantastic location, literally steps from all major attractions. Staff members are very friendly (when you can locate one), lively bar downstairs and rooms are nice.

“They ruined all my expectations about Danish service”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
I don't now how to give Feedback. Because I ordered single room with private bathroom. And they gave me another 4-bed room without bathroom. This room was really dirty, unfortunately I didn't take a photo because I was very busy with my preparation to upcoming exam in Copenhagen. First day was really awful, because I traveled to Copenhagen to pass my IELTS exam and I paid money just to sit calm in MY ROOM with bathroom. I do not still understand why I paid 94 € to live first day in 4-room and next day move to my room. Does it happen often? They ruined all my expectations about Danish service. Thank you-
Personal was very kind and friendly. In the second day my room was perfect. Only on second day they gave me a room for which I paid. Very clean and cosy.
