68%City Public Hostel

Good value, I suppose - pretty good location. Full of students looking for accom late August I found. I coming to Scandinavian hostels, make sure you bring bed sheets - you pay out a fortune for hiring them at each hostel otherwise!

There are boards up separating the beds so you don't really notice. The atmosphere was good with people chilling out and drinking on the sofas and the kitchen was one of the best we've seen. Location wise its in walking distance of most sights and importantly the train station.close

I stayed in the room all evening since I didn't feel comfortable leaving them in the room. I stayed in a top bunk and not only did it not have any barrier to keep you from rolling out, the bed was actually tilted down away from the wall, so that rolling towards the edge of the bed was almost inevitable. There was an exceptional amount of noise from outside but it was too warm to close the window.close

Nice hostel, lots of ppl around. The big dorms were very warm so that made it a lil difficult to sleep. Don't expect too much when you pay a price like this, but it's a nice hostel

Some staff members seemed like they hated the job and so they weren't very helpful. The room was very humid and had no ventilation at all. Other than that the facilities were fine. It really was just a cheap place to stay. Don't expect much.

The location of the hostel was optimal for many activities. The staff was very friendly and helpfull and the atmosphere was relaxed. A few negative points: The showers were broken and weren't fixed during the whole week. It was a bit dirty over the place and the kitchen was closed in the morning. I believe the staff shouldnt allow people to store Copenhavn-bikes at the hostel. It is very unfriendly to lock them up, while other people are desperate to find a bike to use.close

In terms of value for money, the breakfast isn't worth it, if I stayed there again I'd eat somewhere else. Also, if you stay in a medium-sized dorm you get a blanket but no sheets or pillow, which is fine if you have a sleeping bag, otherwise you have to hire these things. All in all, it's a nice clean hostel with a friendly atmosphere.close

More like a demilitarized zone or lawless high school than any hostel I've been to. No locks on the doors, graffiti everywhere, etc. I booked three nights but stayed elsewhere after the first two. Probably fun if you're under 23 years old.

There were a bunch of small lockers and only 10 or so bigger lockers. It was almost impossible to get a large locker... more The beds in the big dorm are very loud and sketchy.

I felt it was a bit impersonal, as it was so huge, and the corridors are very stark, making it feel a bit like you're in a hospital, but convenient location, clean. Some staff were really helpful. Some were a bit cold. Overall a good experience.
