Very small bathroom, shower exactly above the toilet. But still way better than shared bathrooms.
Perfect location, fliendly staff, double rooms, the hostel bar is very nice and busy. But we could not find place to drink and cook, is not allowed to bring drinks or food to the hostel bar nor drink in front of it. It is a good party hostel, but is quite on the rooms, so the party does not disturb those who want to relax.

My bed had bad bugs in it. Got bitten quite a few times. I consider it a big problem, since some people, like myself, can have an allergic reaction to it. Also, even with a closed window, you can hear the music from the bar really well, which made it rather hard for me to fall asleep.
The interior design in the rooms is wonderful.

> Our private room was on the 3rd floor otherwise I think we would have heard the music late at night. > The bathroom is extremely small with a shower bulb added in the middle of the ceiling but it has the merit of existing.
> The location of this hostel is great because visiting Copenhagen can easily be done on foot. > The buffet breakfast is excellent and plentiful with lots of choices in sweet and salty. > The evenings are festive with very pleasant staff. > I will gladly come back.

We have a small room with 2 bed's, toilet is too small, shower in the toilet :) During all night you can hear a noice guy's from bar, which is the part of hostel. Hostel without microwave oven, kettle.
Location is good, 350m to red line metro station. Low price (for Copenhagen) not for this place :)

“Perfect location, amazing staff and a great stay”
- • Leisure trip

There are no toiletries in the room, but I wish there was at least soap in the bathroom. As I mentioned, the stool was broken and I couldn't use it. Breakfast could include vegetables, there were only like a few slices of cucumber. I wish there could be at least a whole plate of them for everyone.
Firstly, I want to thank the amazing staff that was very friendly and helpful. I couldn't find a towel in my room, so when I asked for it I got even two them. The hostel is in a really great location, everything is close in a walking distance. When you come to the building, where the hostel is, there are two separate doors. First you have to enter the door on the right to the reception and then you go out again and walk through the other door on the left - to the actual hostel. There is a small elevator that can fit maybe like 2 people, but it's useful when you have a luggage with you. The room that I stayed in had a bunk bed, dressing-table with a broken stool, a few mirrors, closet with a few hangers, hair dyer and a tiny bathroom, in which there is a small sink, toilet and a shower head above it (yeah, if you are too tired, you can sit on the toilet while taking a shower). I decided to get breakfast, which did not dissapoint me: there was soy milk, a huge bowl of fresh fruit, cheese, a few types of meat, eggs, hot peas with a tomato sauce, a few types of bread, juice, tea and etc. My overall experience was really great and I would definitely stay here again.

“Perfect location. Good breakfast. If you travel for the weekend, be prepared to noises of party.”
- • Leisure trip

We stayed from Saturday to Monday, and on Saturday night there was a tropical party going on. Which was okay, because it's a bar, but it was really difficult to sleep that night even with windows closed, and despite that we were on the 5th floor. We have stayed in a double room with private bathroom and I didn't look very well on photos when I was picking a room. The shower in the bathroom is just above the toilet and sink so basically the whole room is a bathroom, which makes it pretty unconfortable.
Location is amazing, everything is in the reachable distance only by foot. Our room was clean, and stuff was very friendly. Breakfast was very good especially for a pretty decent price.
