Been here many times as a place to sleep when visiting relatives Sluseholmen. This time we had to change room as luckily before we unpacked, I noticed we couldn’t close the curtains (as well as the metal post that has a few coat hangers on it was missing) It was soon rectified with a new room. We always sleep well here. There’s white towels, shower gel & hairdryer. The linen is clean and fresh. It’s a basic hostel but suits our needs. I would add that they now have automatic screens to check-in at reception - my observation would be that staff should wipe the screen regularly for finger marks.

Clean, nice room, quiet hotel reasonably priced

You can stay here in a bunk room but I choose a double room which was very clean with a good bathroom. Nice bar and entertainment area downstairs. It’s a hotel mainly for backpackers but not noisy and the location suited me perfectly.

Lovely 3 night stay with breakfast included. Staff were welcoming, friendly and always happy to help. Good facilities and well maintained rooms and common areas. An hrs walk or 20min cycle from the centre but also close to an underground station. Can recommend this hostel for your stay in Copenhagen.

Great Hostel

Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable beds and bedding. Great location a short train ride from the centre. 25minute walk to Carlsberg Brewery and Vega. Bikes are in good condition and a fairly reasonable 150DKK.if in Copenhagen again will most likely stay again.
