BEWARE of staying at this place if u like a good night sleep. As the location is between bars and restaurants, the noise by the bar patrons can be heard even if you are staying at level 2. Avoid staying at rooms next to the staircase because the noise can also be heard when they walk loudly. The staff service is excellent though.

The best thing about this hostel is the location: absolutely unbeatable, close to everything within a short walk. Lots of bakeries and coffee shops around, metro stations, train stations, water, canal tours, museums, etc. There was a long lineup from 3pm for checkin, was not able to get into my room before that. Nice young staff. Room was very small but had everything I needed. Bathroom is a water closet with the shower head in the middle of the ceiling, don’t leave anything in there while you’re having a shower! The hostel is very noisy (I had a room facing the street) due to the bars and restaurants around; bring a good pair of earplugs if you want to get some sleep! They offer paid breakfast which I did not partake in and also activities which I did not partake in. Overall good stay but would probably not stay there again.

It’s a hostel so there are things to be expected like noise but one night they had music playing loudly until 2-3 am in their common area which turns into a club/bar at night. The capsule was clean and comfortable for the most part but a little stuffy. They could use improved ventilation and temperature control. Theres only one sink near the toilets and showers. The toilets were often dirty and some of the toilets didn’t flush so they should increase the cleaning and ensure they all work. The hostel is in a great location and within walking distance to all the main attractions. Overall safe and good value for the price. Highly recommend if for young travelers looking to party and meet people. I’d stay here again with an open mindset for the shortcoming because of the location and cost.

Constant malfunctions of the toilet
I chose this hostel because of its close to the city center, and I regretted it. I had a room with shared bathrooms. There were only two shared toilets on the floor, they were clogged with paper, the workers cleaned the water on the floor, I could not use the toilet at the time I needed. The sinks were clogged with leftover food. I understand that the guests are to blame for the garbage, but if the hostel staff knows that the number of bathrooms is too small for such a large number of residents, they need to take care of cleanliness or warn the guests to be careful with facility! I do not recommend. Most importantly, they are at the center of this.

Awful experience, never again
The accommodation states each guest is counted as an adult. Therefore i booked myself and my 16 year old son seperate pods. Upon arriving, we were told he couldn't have his own, despite being in the same room as me, because he was under 18! No refund, just couldn't use the other pod. So we both had to squeeze into a single pod for the first night (it was 1am) hes 6ft and had to curl up, to fit in. We both got very little sleep. The mattress was covered in pubic hair and pillows stained. There was also finger prints everywhere, suggesting that the pod wasnt cleaned throughly!! The fan was air circulation not an actual fan! The next morning, we left and booked a hotel. I really wanted to introduce my son to hostel life, as i had whilst travelling in my teens. Never again!!

This is a tale of two visits. I visited Copenhagen Downtown Hostel 15 years ago, and was happy with my experience. I was traveling alone, and enjoyed a quiet and clean room for three nights. The location is excellent and the staff is friendly. I paid the equivalent of about $50/night. Last month, my wife and I were looking for a spartan hotel in a good location, so I was happy to return. This time the cost was about $160/night (5 nights), so I was expecting an upgraded experience -- along with our private bathroom. WRONG! We came in on a warm evening, and there was no air conditioning. The bar downstairs is open until 5am and it was very HOT and NOISY. I asked for another room, and was told that they were full. Our double bed was fitted with single sheets, and there were faint blood stains on the mattress pad. Our bathroom smelled either of mold or bad plumbing, so we kept the door and windows open. I complained to the manager the next morning about the high cost of this substandard room, and was told that this was like the airlines -- sometimes prices are higher or lower. We were very unhappy with our room, and complained to Expedia (They are giving us a $100 refund on our next booking.) There was no maid service during our entire 5 night stay. If you decide to stay here, ask for a QUIET room in the interior of the building, and stay for a day or two. Now for some positives: the location is great, the guests are nice, great internet and hot showers.
