I got a recommendation of this hostel from a guy whom I met at the airport by chance and it was so lucky one. The atmosphere and reception guys are so great and helpful, more than expectation. Facilities are clean and easy to use. Especially the locker is worked w/ enty card which is an exraordinary point. Location is a little far from the metro but Copenhagen is a bike city so it is manageable considering other great points. Thanks for staying at this hostel and will definitely visit again!

- The breakfast was great value for the price (78 krones for all sorts of cereal, juices, pancakes, jams, breads, boiled eggs) - There is a gym around the corner that is cheap (I paid 109 krones for 1-week membership) and well equipped - Two nights there was noise in the neighboring rooms but I mostly noticed when I went in and out (i.e. there is good noise isolation in the room) - Staff was friendly and helpful - There is an area for children to play with a small boat, a rocking horse and a small house - There is a metro stop less than 5 min walking and it would be quite a walk (25-30 min) to the center - The curtains were dark enough - Bed, floor and bathroom were clean

    Friendly staff, super great location, you have a Netto supermarket just in front of the building. The communal lounge area is amazing with pool tables, comfy chairs, and a terrace. The hostel is clean overall, no surprise by Nordic standards actually. You have lockers in the rooms as well that are assigned to your bed, just make sure to bring a padlock, although it's super safe in Copenhagen. In short, the stay is really nice there, if you come with friends you won't get bored, if you come alone it's quite convenient.

    Great location and the breakfast was very good value for money. Staff were super friendly and helpful - I felt very comfortable and “at home” in the guesthouse, which isn’t usually the case for me when I stay at a youth hostel.

    The hostel is really modern and perfect for meeting new people, especially for who is traveling alone! The bar and lobby are always full of people, fun evenings are organized almost every day and tours to discover Copenhagen! Using the kitchen is very useful and cheap. There is everything you could need and the atmosphere is very hyggeligt! <3 I would definitely recommend it!

    The location was perfect near the train station and 10 minute walk from the city centre If you want something cheap just to sleep and have fun it’s the best solution ! If you want something comfortable and spacious I wouldn’t recommend! The hostel had many activities and party’s to spend time and meet new people

    Best hostel we’ve ever stayed in. So clean and the pods were really soundproof so you do not get disturbed at all at night. There are lots of toilets/showers/sinks so you never have to wait to use. Really great location close to a metro station and walkable to the zoo and tivoli gardens.

    We booked an entire room for 2, even though it came with the standard 6 bunk beds. The room had its own toilet and shower and lockers. Honestly, this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in, I think it might be a tight fit if you stayed with 5 other strangers. But it was clean, had great facilities, a welcoming lobby and is conveniently located.

    Copenhagen is expensive, and this is a really good budget option. I had a private room with shared bathroom and was very pleased all round. The Hostel is busy with a seemingly non stop bar and warnings about it being a noisy place. I wasn't disturbed at all up on the 4th floor. My room was quite quirky with a train carriage theme - 2 bunk beds and a very comfy double. Shared bathroom directly across the corridor, which was very convenient. And a great location for exploring the city.
