Copenhagen Downtown Hostel

The twin room was pretty good, and the hostel is in an absolutely great location. The shower was a bit funky, though. Music played until 3 or 4 am every day, even on weekdays. I like a party any day of the week, but this was too much. As soon as the music stopped, some absolute delight decided to set off the fire alarm, so the whole hostel had to evacuate at 4 am. We hadn't slept for three days and ended up booking another hostel for our last night. It wasn't a horrific stay, but it was enough to make us wish we'd looked elsewhere. It ruined our impression of Copenhagen.

Gigi, the manager, was welcoming and made sure our stay went well. The bathrooms stayed very clean and well maintained, with a team regularly cleaning them. We slept in a capsule in an eight-capsule dorm and rarely had trouble sleeping. I worked remotely every day without being disturbed. It's one of the best hostels in Copenhagen for settling in and meeting people. There are parties every day and lots to do, and I met people I'll never forget. The location is perfect, close to attractions, street food, and grocery stores. I highly recommend it!

The rooms weren't my favorite, and they weren't the cleanest. The toilets were a struggle in both cleanliness and number compared with the number of people. Cleaning didn't happen every day, and they didn't even change the trash bin when I arrived. I couldn't get anyone at reception by phone, and my email also went unanswered, which was unfortunate. Around 30 euros a night seems fair. I didn't try breakfast, so I can't comment on it. Gigi and Denis are the best! The hostel bar is definitely worth a visit and was always a lot of fun, 10/10. Go for the bar and enjoy a good time with wonderful people. Happy hour is from 6-8 pm.

I stayed two nights. The rooms were decent, and at least my bed was clean. The scaffolding beds are an interesting design and quiet, but they're awkward to climb in and out of, and the top bunk is too close to the ceiling. The toilets were sometimes dirty, and for some reason they chose to recreate the look of public plastic toilets in the hostel. The bar is too expensive, so I wouldn't recommend it. Have a beer out front until the bartenders tell you to move along, then drink vis-a-vis on the benches. One night around 2-3 am, I felt very uneasy and went into the hallway to check. There was a strange man whose body cast no shadow on the ground, and he seemed to be looking for something. He noticed me, so I ran back to my room. He knocked a few times, but praying made him shop. I heard three steps, then nothing. Weird. This place might be four stars if you leave the overpriced bar out of it. I also saw them replying to reviews with AI, which was upsetting. They don't have to reply, but if they do, they could at least show the same effort and some sign they care. Three stars, better luck next time.
