Copenhagen Downtown Hostel, Copenhagen

Very poor

Liked: Location
Disliked: Very small rooms, no hangers/wordrobe, no space to put things, uncomfortable tiny bathroom with shower over the sink/toilet. Staff not interested in answering any questions related the room/provided services. Might be ok for a 1 night stay as a hostel, but price for the double room vs what you get - very poor

Good

Great Location, Cheap but Left...

Liked: It was very central and only 15 minutes from absolutely everywhere.
Disliked: I initially thought people in the reviews were perhaps being overdramatic due to it being so cheap. I’ve stayed in lots of hostels before and don’t expect luxury. However this is by far the dustiest and dirtiest I stayed in. Bathrooms were a bit gross but generally went elsewhere. However I woke up on my last day (stayed three nights) with a tickle in my throat and two days later I’m severely ill and can’t move from my bed. Whether it’s a standard flu or not, I have no doubt it was due to hygiene and has taught me a lesson about perhaps spending more money in future.

Very good

Liked: The bar, shower and toilet facilities were good.
Disliked: The room somehow smelled and it was loud even during late at night because of thin walls.

A good hostel and at...

Liked: Great hostel! Clean, good staff. There is a fan in the room, it was comfortable to sleep. We spent only 1 night, everything was completely fine with us.

Great for the average traveler,...

Liked: I was traveling by myself for the first time and booked this hostel for my four-day trip to Copenhagen because hotels are too expensive. The staff was good, and the bar was nice, but the room was okay. I didn't sleep at all and was uncomfortable about the cleanliness of the showers and bathrooms—that's debatable.
Disliked: It was very noisy, and I could hear everything happening throughout the night. The noise when the door unlocked was also very loud and kept waking me up. I was also right above the downstairs party/bar area so that I could hear the music. I did not feel comfortable showering at all, and the bathrooms were in ok condition, but I did not feel they were sanitary. I left after the first night and stayed at a CitizenM hotel in the City Centre.

Did not end up staying...

Liked: If you’re in your 20s this place looked like a lot of fun.
Disliked: I booked one night as a I had a layover that then turned into 2 nights so I tried to call to booke the second night in the same room to avoid changing beds / rooms and you cannot call the hostel! There is just a message saying email us. So I did email twice and got no reply at which point I just had to turn up and hope for the best. When I turned up I waited at reception and 3 separate staff members drifted in to ask me what I wanted and when I told them said they weren’t working in reception right now and I would need to wait for their colleague (so I’m unsure why they approached me at all). When the colleague arrived they were fully booked but she said if I went online I might be able to book a room. I was by now losing all confidence so I asked them to check my reservation for tomorrow and they said they couldn’t because the system was set to today and not tomorrow!?!The place also had free earplugs on the desk and when I asked the staff told me that was because there were parties. I ended up booking something else and did not stay here.The place did have fun vibe though and I suspect it would be a blast if you were in your early 20s and looking to meet new people and have fun.
