Inchgirl, Sweden

Really good hostel. Beds are really nice, spacious rooms. I took a free walking tour with them and thanks to that I met loads of people from the hostel = I recommend this.

Sarah, Belgium

Never been in a hostel in ages, loved it, cool structure, great position and frieñdly atmosphere

Marco, Italy

The staff are amazing friendly people which made my stay much easier as I was travelling alone. Happy hour drinks and cocktails were cheap and created a great atmosphere to get to know people! Copenhagen is a beautiful city and I couldn't recommend it enough.

Samira, United Kingdom

Super nice staff at the bar and reception. Amazing live music and atmosphere throughout day and night. Only a few minutes walk from the central station, very convenient location for sightseeing as well. We only had one night to enjoy the hostel but would definitely go back. Recommend it to everyone if you'd like to meet new people from all around the world. Thanks for everything!

Eszter, Hungary

The staff were friendly and the fact that the bar is right downstairs makes it very easy for solo travellers to make friends and have fun! Thanks to the bar I met some really great people. I would recommend any solo traveller to stay at the Copenhagen Downtown Hostel if you're thinking of spending a few days here in Copenhagen. Prices at the bar during happy hour are reasonable and the entertainment at the bar is a solid 10. Wi-Fi works really well except for the fact that you will find yourself having to constantly log in to the network again and again. But it's not a lot of work. The hostel is also located very close by to the walking street and the central train station. Everything is within walking distance. Beds are comfortable and I didn't face any issues with bugs or anything during my stay. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and other than the fact that there wasn't a guest kitchen, the hostel had everything I needed for a comfortable and memorable stay.

Daryl, Singapore

Young, open atmosphere. Nice to be able to sit outside in the sofas

눉check in is strictly at 2pm otherwise, pay the locker rental. though the reception area is very comfortable to stay at while waiting for ur check in. toilet and shower are not a priority it seems as there are very limited washrooms in each floor being shared by like more than 10 persons. but we were able to manage in our case :)
눇very comfortable and firm beds - we like it a lot! nice ambiance and feel in the room. strong wifi and very informative and approachable receptionists. lobby- reception area is superb. u can literally chill out in the area whole day :) centrally located- walking distance to bus stop, main shopping areas and restaurants. u can also walk going to copenhagen central station. highly recommended and we will stay here again on our next visit!
