The location was very good and the rooms are great I stayed for a night and it was great

Roshni Denmark

Sumanji at reception, the bar and lounge and game area.

Henry United States of America

Facilities are new and clean. Each bed has its own big luggage space (you need your own lock). The bar area is very enjoyable and comfortable. The possibility to rent a locker for the day after checkout is a must!

Pierre Norway

The vibe is amazing there for a solo traveller. The restaurant 😍. Location is best and central to Copenhagen. Must stay for a budget traveller! The beds are clean and the mixed dorm is also good. 👌

Jagriti India

Everything - great design, very clean, great location and amazing staff (both reception and restaurant). I especially appreciated how friendly they all were (shout out to Rodrigo) Plus we had tasty coffee and food there.

Maria Romania

We stayed at a private double room and loved the location. Beds were very comfy and the service was also great.

Lara Germany

Email communication prior to arrival. Parking and check in were a breeze. Property was clean, inviting, and full of amenities. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was perfect! Comfortable beds, lights and outlets in all the right places. Lovely city view. Interesting hallway signage and art.

Leesa United States of America

Central location in the city, putting all major attractions within a 20-30min walk (max). The staff were friendly. The room size was not very large but was big enough for both of us to stay comfortable.

Jose Netherlands

Very convenient location, market nearby, comfortable bed, nice design touches and reception available 24/7

Milda Lithuania

The friendly and helpful staff, extending the checkout time option
