Well located, friendly staff, nice common areas, bike rentals directly from the hostel

Marjorie France

The location is walking distance to a lot of points of interest, like Nyhaven, the city center, even walked to the Little Mermaid statue. Breakfast was also delicious! Something my partner had never experienced was the shower being the whole bathroom, but the shower squeegee provided made it easy!

Alexis United States of America

Fun, parties, possibilities, relax, were all at max in the common areas!! Best hostel existence ever for now!

Steve Italy

The rooms were clean, the staff was super helpful and the room had two showers! and the building had 2 different elevator depending on the location of your room.

Andres United States of America

The central location a stone's throw from the major attractions of the city, there is a small supermarket and many restaurants nearby. The staff are friendly and the common room is very pleasant. Good sweet and savory breakfast.

Andrea Italy

Beautiful city, great atmosphere, wonderful views in the city, a very lively nightlife, a safe place to walk through its streets and observe the beauties of this country

Mayda United States of America

It's my 3rd time staying in the hostel - My stay is always great! Clean room, bathroom/toile, comfy bed, good-sized lockers under the bed and very good breakfast. It has it's own bar, restaurant and great facilities within the floor area. Location is on point as well - walking distance to everywhere you wanted to visit, may it be restaurants, public transport, malls, shopping areas, bars and sites and Freetown Christiania. I will stay here again for sure! Recommended!
