    The door lockers were very bad and I got stuck many times. The reception is inside a bar separated from the room area, very hard to get assistance. The elevator was so small and didn’t even go to the last floor so I had to bring bags up by the steps. The beds were made of metal bars, very hard to go to the bed without getting hurt. The light in the room was terrible. Lockers don’t have lock. Bathroom was disgusting, super small and dirty. I decided to don’t stay after seeing the whole facility and had to find another hotel. They did not give my money back but I just couldn’t stay there. Don’t recommend it.

    The staff was overworked, hence somewhat irresponsible to demands. The room itself is fine, the keypads are pretty nice, but it goes without saying your experience really depends on your fellow roommates. The night I stayed at the hostel, a younger guy in the room smoked & blasted his speaker until 1am, the poor Brazilian girl in the room was tossing and turning. Then at 2:30 am an older guy in the room decided to pee by the window, not only waking everyone up and stinking up the room, but also the urine touched my belongings. I wish I took a photo but I was in such shock and evacuated quickly. The hostel seems to attract a certain type of guests and has little means to regulate their behaviors. I have stayed in plenty of hostels throughout Europe, but this might just be my last. I’d advise any girl on a budget to stay away from mixed dorms, even if it’s the only room left for the hostel, which was the case for me.

    Centrally located, extremely vibrant

    The bathrooms were very dirty all the time. Some of the toilets were blocked and the showers were very dirty too. The room with the capsules was small and theres a hair dryer in the dorm. Why would you put a hair dryer in a room where people are sleeping? Theres no lockers in the rooms and no option to secure your stuff. We had to sleep with our valuable things in bed because otherwise everybody in the dorm could have had access to it. During nights the public area turns into a party place which we also didnt like. The check-in was at the bar so we could not understand the staff at all because the music was so loud. No towels!

    One of Copenhagen's cheapest places to stay. We slept in a capsule. The beds were comfy and the check in was very easy with 24h reception. The bar/café downstairs is very nice and cozy during daytime. The capsules are comfy and luckily theres an aircon in every capsule!

    The bathrooms were extremely dirty and it smelled like dried urine. Some of the toilets wouldn't flush and therefor overflowed and the toilet water was on the floor.

    I like the location of the hostel, loved being within walking distance of almost everything!

    DO NOT STAY IN THE CAPSULES! Capsule hotels are meant to be small but efficient, these were absolutely not. There is nowhere to store any luggage in the room. Listing photos are a lie, the capsules do not have a European plug socket (only a USB port) and there are not ladders to get into the beds (instead upside down milk crates that cut into your feet). On top of all that, there are insufficient bathrooms for the number of people on each floor and the toilets do not refill quickly enough, meaning the toilets are worse than festival portaloos. Our code to enter our floor didn’t work on the first day and again stopped working half way through our stay. This was just criminal.

    1. The music from the bar downstairs was on till 5am and wouldn't let us sleep 2. Toilets wouldn't flush in all the cubicles, it was disgusting. There was only one sink for everyone to use, and by everyone I mean the entire floor. 3. The ventilation in the capsule was loud and therefore useless at night, we had to keep our door open which defeats the purpose of being in a closed capsule in the first place. 4. Any movements on the top bunk sent waves to our lower bunk, which again didn't let us sleep. Overall, an awful experience when we just wanted to sleep for one night. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

    the capsule itself was clean.

    A third of the toilets on the floor were not working. The water in all the shower cabins was clogged, and the temperature was unstable. You had to use high pressure to reach a hot temperature. The sleeping capsule shakes when your neighbor moves.

    Inside the capsule there was only USB-C / USB-A plugs. No standard power plugs. However a great reason, to step into the lobby/bar, grap a beer, re-charge the laptop and socialize with the people.

    All staff (receptionist, House Keeper, Manager) were welcoming each of the guest nicely. Located in the heart of the copenhager center, few minutes walking to the next metro. I had a capsule room, greate balance inbetween privacy and interaction with the room mates. I have not stayed in a hostel for approx. 15 years. But this stay reminded me of the great memories while I was a student.
