Really good location to visit the city. The room had lockers (bring your own lock) and the bed was ok, I slept well. Shared bathrooms and toilets were clean. If you are not a party person, fyi rooms are in the building just near. So you can have your own life. You can rent a locker before check in or after check out (not free)
I was on the first floor and you could hear the music until really late at night, so take earplugs !

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.

privatw cabin with fan, socets and light, sink and hair dryers in the room, plenty of restrooms, good location, lockers, cheap
elevator, not the cheapest bar, complaining travellers (if you are a businessman and need to sleep at 9pm and wake up at 5am, DONT GO to this hostel please, this is not a sleepover hostel but a fun one),

Location is perfect, everything is just at a walk distance. There is a good bar next to hostel door, with live music sometimes and good prices. If you are young or solo traveller and like to meet new people, it is a perfect place to stay. By quality it is a good hostel with all needed to stay for a trip.
It is noisy from the bar and street, all around the week. Definitely not good stay for families with kids or people who like to sleep at night. The shower in the room was a joke, it is a toilet room where there is a shower on the roof. But in this case floor common showers were ok to use.

The location is the highlight, you can go everywhere by foot. The breakfast is cheap and good, tasty and with good options. The place vibe is amazing, very young and hyped, there are many things to do and the bar is great to spend the night. Toilets were always clean, it was a really nice place.
But it was not a nice sleep, we stayed in a cabin and there was literally no ventilation. Even now in autumn it got too hot and on our side, to have the outside fan working, the light had to be on. So the only way to have some air is opening the cabin and having the light on all the time, which really bothered my sleep. I think check in/check out hours could also be better.

I had an amazing experience staying here! The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready to give tips about the area and make my stay comfortable. The rooms were cozy, and thoughtfully designed for both privacy and social interaction. The location was perfect. I loved the common areas, which had a great atmosphere for meeting fellow travellers. Whether you're looking for a place to relax or a base for exploring, this hostel is a perfect choice. I’ll be coming back!
One area that could use improvement is the design of the lockers in the shared bedroom. While it's great to have secure storage, the lockers were quite loud when opening or closing due to their design. This could be disruptive, especially late at night or early in the morning when others are trying to sleep.

Cell room experience was good. It made me feel safer in a hostel. Cell air-conditioning was nice. For one day it is nice choice, and good price-service balance. The receptionist are very helpful. It is in the city center and has a good pub athmosphere downstairs.
At the corner where bed contacts with the walls there were hair and some dust didn't give the clean feeling. The cell walls pass the noise if the neighbours are laud it's a problem. Toilets and showers aren't clean because it's shared between too many people I believe.

The view of the city especially from the 6th floor was GORGEOUS! I was in the 8 person room and although that may seem like a lot it really didn’t feel like too many people. The place is cool and old and in the heart of the city so it’s very easy to travel by foot and see attractions.
The bathrooms always smelled like pee and were just gross in general. I know it’s probably hard to have them clean when so many people (and men) are using them. I also didn’t like how I had to pay for a towel. I spent $100 to be there and I don’t get a towel without payment? I pretty much just paid $25 per night for sleeping and when I showered I simply didn’t dry off with a towel. It can be a little noisy of a sleep since there is usually a lot of commotion on the street below the rooms. I booked my stay during early September so people were still outside partying in the warm weather.
