Awesome Central location, with a nice cozy bar as the lounge/reception - you can hang out there all day, charge your phone, etc., and nobody minds, very chill and friendly atmosphere. The bed was large and comfy, the room was neat, had a heater if need be, and had an excellent window view of the street. There were also lockers you could keep your luggage in before/after check-in for a small sum. The young staff was always pleasant, friendly, and helpful and although the Breakfast buffet (not included in the price) wasn't spectacular - it was plentiful, cheap, and filling. All in all, probably one of the best hostel/affordable room options in Copenhagen.
My biggest surprise was the shower which was basically a showerhead connected right above the toilet seat... Taking a shower wasn't as bad as I imagined, and the water was always lovely and hot - but it was still a strange experience, and I had to constantly move my things, TP, etc out of the bathroom so they wouldn't get wet when I took a shower. Also, the laundromat, which I used once was kind of a mess.

The place boasted an excellent location with numerous facilities for relaxation. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall, it's a great value for its price. Additionally, there is a reasonably priced locker room, which is a significant advantage.
To access the door, you should download an app, but unfortunately, it does not function well. After a day out, when you're too tired you want to return and relax, you have to download the app, register, and go through too many steps before being able to open your door. Moreover, the password sent via email became incorrect after 5 hours, and you need to went down and ask for new password.

This place is great if you're a solo traveller hoping to meet people. It was as simple as sitting outside to find people to talk to from all over the world and was such an amazing experience. I was in a capsule for most of my stay, which was really nice and I appreciated the privacy and that I could lock my luggage in the capsule, and I had a private room the last two nights, which was perfect for getting some peace and quiet. The staff were all really incredible and kind people. The facilities were nice and the hostel was central to everything which made it so easy to go sight seeing.
While it was never a problem during my stay, it was surprising that there were only 3 toilets for the entire floor to use. Something like 15 rooms on the floor, many of which were mixed dorms. The other thing which isn't a big deal but was hard as someone who is a light sleeper is that this hostel regularly hosts children from Danish schools on field trips, and pre-teen and teenagers have a hard time staying quiet. Neither of these is a deal breaker, just would have been nice to know ahead of my stay.

The atmosphere of the bar downstairs was amazing The property is very central with all the main attractions very close around you which was amazing You are able to rent bikes from the property which is also a good value for money and a great way to see the city Would definitely stay again I didnt find the sound to be a problem , and you are able to get earplugs from reception for free if this is an issue
One fault i can give the property is that the beds in the dorm rooms didnt have curtains on them so it felt less private then other dorms The other was the toilets on the floors, they were a bit dirty at times and only 2 of the 3 on my floor were working

The madrass was better/softer in this room than in the capsule room I book'ed at this hostel 2 days ago. They already fixed the elevator from 2 days ago so that's good news 😃 The breakfast is really cheap.
Both times I was supposed to get an email with the password for the door and both days It didn't work. I heard I wasn't the only one as well. It was a bit cold and I couldn't regulate the temp. It was a single room. The shower was almost directly over the toilet. It would been better with some space between the toilet and the shower. There was no soap in the dispenser at the toilet sink so I had to use their body wash soap to wash my hands The breakfast is cheap but there's only white bread. Not enough to make you full but good enough to make you not feeling starving anymore.

Everything, from the looks, to staff, to facilities, location- it's amazing!!! Staff is always ready to help and really friendly, I was scared to travel by myself but they made me feel comfortable and able to relax. Evening events are awesome, and if you're looking to have fun it's the place to go :) I can't wait to stay there again for longer! It takes about 15 minutes to walk there from the Main Train Station (which has connections to the airport) and it's also a 15 minute walk to streets filled with stores, restaurants, cafes and attractions

Great party hostel if you're in to that kind of thing, the bar is very cosy and there is a lot of space to socialize. Very nice staff, and the breakfast was nice.
The rooms were a little hard to find. It could be useful to put room numbers above the doors of the floors, because I had room 112 and because I didn't know the first digit meant that's on the first floor, it took a while for me to find it. Perhaps logical, though.

Very friendly staff, the 10 bed hostel room i stayed in was kept fairly clean considering the amount of people staying there. The AC there was on at all times which was good during hot weather though i worried about catching a cold during the night.
The communal showers' pressure on the floor I stayed in were a tad bit broken lol, you could either have an ice cold showed with normal water pressure or warmer but it'd feel like you're being pressure washed 😂 Bed was a bit hard for my back but the sheets provided by the hotel were very clean and tidy.

The bar was amazing, there was always something going on there and it was also a great way to meet people from your hostel, but actually danish people too because the bar in quite popular and it’s right in the city centre. the hostel itself was very clean, in fact there was always someone cleaning the toilets throughout the day. the room was ok, it was cute but nothing special, but that’s fine, it’s worth the money you pay
The door of my floor didn’t work, you needed to open it with the card they gave to get to rooms, so people in my floor had to keep it open, I guess that’s the only thing I didn’t like, but that’s was just my floor door, because I saw others working, however the room door was working, so that’s the important thing. I was on the 6 floor, so I couldn’t hear what was going on downstairs at the bar, but people form like 1 or 2 floor complained about the noise

Fantastic location near numerous cafes, restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, and places to sit down and relax. The room was cozy and I was fortunate enough to have a couple of fantastic roommates. The bar attached to the hostel was very lively and relatively welcoming. It was nice that there was a laundry facility on site.
The staff were not very welcoming and I expected the hostel to be a little bit more social. If I didn't get lucky with having great roommates I think it would have been a little bit difficult to meet new people as a solo traveler.
