denmark is expensive so be prepared to be a bit disappointed when you see the room despite the price you pay.. hopefully the breakfast is good but overall maybe a bit expensive given the room provided

Shared bathroom and shower booth are really terrible. Room is not so bad. If you could bear this toilet, goot choice due to the nice location.

Please fix the bathroom, at level 2. It is like pond if you do your bath more than 1-2 minutes! Would be good if you can serve 'kosher' / 'halal' ( or at least vegetarian dish ) during the breakfast to cater all kind of diets. Other than that, all OK :-)

Not a bad place. very close to the centre of town 9easy walking distance). Bathrooms not sensational tho. Good otherwise, luggage storage very helpful.

Warm rooms in hot July but they had fans we could borrow. A lot of noice in the room facing the street since you need the window open, bring earplugs. It was at the corner or the street of working girls but still a very friendly area. Really great breakfast and very nice staff! Clean facilities...

Friendly staff, very close to railway station, cheap (a good bargain for copenhagen) very comfortable beds and nice rooms. Located next to the red light district; one of the dirtiest areas in Copenhagen, although generally safe. They charge exorbitant rates for WiFi Access (10$/h!).

This is not a cheap hostel... this is a three star hotel, but with hostel prices. Excellent all round, although maybe a bit more 'grown-up' than I was expecting...great location for all of the city centre attractions and lovely breakfasts too.

The porn that was on the TV when you just flipped through the channels was not appreciated and there should be something to let you know that is what you would see on those channels.close

The location is great since it is only 2 blocks from the central train station and tivoli is an easy landmark to find. The staff was average at best though, and it is harder to meet up with other travelers here than at other hostels since there is no lobby bar or real comfortable common area.close

When you turn on the TV, the 1st channel is a porno one (disgusting especially if you have children)!!!! There are only two showers (not clean) for the entire floor which is clearly not enough. You can hear your neighbours as if they were in your room! 80€ per night for 2 persons + taxes when you pay with a foreign credit card, that's stealing!!!close

It's a nice hotel. Just 5mins walk from the main station, and 15mins walk from the center of Copenhagen. The room is a little bit small but very clean. It will be a little bit noisy at night, but still acceptable.

This hostel is right near the train station... but on the opposite side of the station from where everything you'll want to see is. Copenhagen is so small though, that it doesn't really matter. I enjoyed the hostel quite a bit.

Professional and helpful staff. There is also a free Internet computer in lobby which we found was normally vacant. Would reccomend a day trip to Malmo in Sweden by train accross the huge bridge as we did. Train Journey was short and not too expensive.close

There are nearly at all times streetwalkers in front of the hotel, but they don't incommodate customers of the hotel - at least as long as you don't look at them. There are several night bars around, but the hotel is calm.close
