Enjoyable!
Great location and the room was quite clean! The website says AC but it was boiling hot and no air conditioning which was disappointing.

Excellent choice for central Copenhagen. Stayed in a private ensuite room for 2 and while maybe not quite at the level of a good hotel everything was perfectly acceptable

Overall good quality for a hostel although the toilet in the room was broken. The staff were super friendly and helpful and efficient. I rated three stars because it was way too expensive for a bunk bed. If this was an appropriate price then I would have rated five stars as it’s a good hostel! Great location and clean. Good to be able to rent a bike. The locker was useful.

The mixed 8 persons room was too small in a way. It was a warm day (22°C ish) and could not open windows. Ventilation was terrible for this time at least. I had a decent buffet breakfast. Very friendly staffs. Appreciate good front desk service.

Bad experience
There is nothing good about this hotel except its location. There is no air conditioning, what is the point of opening all the curtains and windows and making the room 50 degrees inside.
You can get old waiting for the elevator, and when you get in, you can feel swaying and in danger of falling at any moment.
Consider yourself lucky if the light in your room is on.
A place that does not deserve the money you give in terms of cleanliness.

Not for me
The staff were all quite helpful and friendly. The location is great and there is a bar on site. I was placed in a room with 5 existing clients (both M and F) - and that room was filthy. The bathroom smelled like urine (causing the entire room to smell) and the general dirty condition/untidiness was off-putting. I realize the facility can’t really control the condition of the rooms, but the experience would keep me from returning.

Overall great stay!! Would return
Stayed in a 6-bed private room - fantastic price and amazing location! Beds and pillows were comfy. Great activites in the hostel.
Downsides were the 1. noise of the nightclub that takes place on a Friday night, it went on until 3am I think
2. The bathroom sink is in the middle of the room and not in the toilet, just makes it loud when you wash your hands in the middle of the night
Overall a great stay and I would recommend it and return here!

Appreciate this was a budget stay but I still expect the room to be clean, which it really wasn’t. The bed was covered in hair and the floor felt really dirty under foot.
Would suit backpackers / students more so than families / couples

We were visiting as a family of four, woth two young ish kids 6 and 9. We had a family room with bunk bed. Having separate shower and toilet was good with the sink in the room. The dining options were good and loved the games tbere. The breakfast was a little limited and the cooked breakfast was sadly not available,due to Oil needing changed in tbe kitchen?!
Overall a great experience and tbe staff was friendly. Sadly the light in the showroom wouldn't turn off and was on all night, whi h wasn't great for both nights we were there. This was highlighted to the team, but maintenence had been unable to fix it.
Convinent and a good price

Would not recommend.
Our room was smaller than expected, bathroom sink and shower wasn’t draining properly. Customers have to pay for their luggage to be stored is greedy!
Bright note, the staff was friendly and it was in good walking radius of everything.
