    When I didn't feel like going down to party, it was noisy from the 2nd floor.

    Bar area was fun.

    The bathroom is located outside of the room, not a huge deal just dont forget your key when you need to go to the WC in the middle of night or risk waking up your flatmates. Also im not sure if it was here or not bc i only noticed when i got to a different hostel in iceland, but i got some bites on my arm. when i told the iceland hostel they said they rarely have insects and that i mightve contracted them from a prior place. idk. they were gnarly bites though.

    The location is great. just a short 15 min walk from the Metro. Not too far from bars, beautiful eateries and cafes, and Tivoli Gardens. The hostel was also the only place popping off bar-wise. The actual room is okay, it has a sink and mirror and a vanity to sit and do your makeup/hair which was a pleasant surprise. Theres a bar and place to eat downstairs which is always a nice convenience.

    It was hot and they could have provided a table fan atleast to tide over the heat. Lot's of noise in the night because of the in-house bar. They shouldn't allow people to stand outside and talk on the road. It's very disturbing and had to use noise cancellation head sets to get some sleep!

    The shower water temperature is a bit unlikely to adjust, you have to turn the handle all the way up. Don’t think it’s only for the pressure, if you turn it up enough the pressure decreases and gets warmer. Mind it to avoid a cold shower session.

    I accidentally booked a wrong date, but the very kind and helpful employee managed it and we found a solution both were happy.

    Not for someone who actually wants to sleep. Mostly young people, parties going on till morning etc. The biggest problem was that the soundproofing was quite bad and you heard people coming back to the hostel and slamming their doors all night long

    Great location, friendly staff, great ensuite, overall very good quality-price ratio for us

    For a backpacker, I guess this facility is excellent. I was disappointed at the lack of common facilities other than the bar downstairs. Maybe I was expecting too much for that price. We stayed at another hostel earlier this year and other than the small room, there was ample common space downstairs to hang out

    Location was good.

    booked a twin bed private ensuite and guess what? we used the common shower the whole time cos the shower head was directly above the sink, which means, no matter how I tune/turn, when I washed my hands, the shower head will start pouring!! also, it kept flooding the toilet after the shower, it just doesn’t flow properly and we guess the shower was choked. it was horrible hahahaha

    No true common area with kitchen for making food. There's only the bar lobby which is open to everyone, not just hostel guests. At night, it can get very loud with the parties in the reception. Bring earplugs. This hostel attracts a variety of types of people. There were homeless people who asked others if they could come into their room and sleep. The police were called to the building. There were drug addicts sitting at the chairs in front of the hostel and talking about how they were sleeping in parks in Amsterdam and how expensive but amazing the Norwegian cocaine is. These were homeless drug users. This is not the kind of people I'd like to meet at a hostel. The cleanliness could be improved. Some of the rooms have toothpaste spots on the walls, etc. The issue of turning on the hot water in the showers was a mystery for me. You have to turn the water knop ALL THE WAY you can, and it will become hot only then! I spent my first few days with ice cold showers, which was fun. When I asked the staff they just told me to try the showers in the other floors because I couldn't turn on the hot water. They didn't tell me I had to turn the knob all the way :) So now you know! Other than that, the people here are openminded and nice.

    Great location in CPH downtown. Decent WiFi without issues. Cheap decent filter coffee in the lobby area. Shower with hot water (although very high water pressure can be annoying) Social hostel with events. I didn't have any of the problems described in other reviews. No bed bugs or anything nasty. Great price for the location and what you get. I'll be back. Thanks! :)

    Tiny room and bathroom. The shower head was in the middle of the bathroom ceiling so basically the toilet/ sink were drowned in the process. Make sure to leave all towels/ toilet roll outside the bathroom when showering. Toilets in the bar/ reception area smelled rancid so not sure how often they’re cleaned.

    clean room, very central

    It is a bit of a pity that the beds are not labelled properly so you might get confused whether you are staying in the upper bed or lower bed especially if you are a first-timer. My bunkmate returned to the hostel in the middle of the night drunk and woke me because she thought I was sleeping in the wrong bed. That caused a bit of a hassle and she woke everyone in the room in the morning because the alarm that she set. But I guess that depends on your luck and it really comes down to who is staying in the room with you. Overall, it was a comfortable stay and everything is part of the hostel experience.

    The price is affordable compared to other accommodations in the city center. The hostel is just a 5 minutes walk away from metro and city center with vibrant night life. There is also a bar just right below the rooms so it might get a bit noisy a night but you will never feel alone! You can enjoy breakfast in the bar if you add a little of money and staff is friendly and helpful.

    Extremely hot in the room (window can only be opened a bit). Also be aware that this is a party hostel with a huge bar (if this isn't your type of hostel don't go there).

    15 minute walk from the main train station, rooms have a sink and mirror and big lockers, clean bathrooms, breakfast available but a bit pricey

    It’s kinda dirty and gross, washrooms are often gross and out of order. Room smelled funky.

    The best part of this place is the social scene. There’s a bench out front of the hostel and just by sitting there there’s a constant rotation of new people to meet and talk to. One of the best social scenes of hostels I’ve been to.

    Not the best value for money. Rooms quite cramped, with people eating in and leaving belongings around the room (seems like they were on a long-duration stay). Worn out furniture, linen could have been cleaner, beds could do with basic individual lamps as there is no curtain and the light in the room is fairly bright.

    Conveniently located! Staff was okay.

    It was a little bit dirty, the towels had holes in them and the shower was barely working. But nothing unexpected from a hostel, a least there was hot water.

    Nice hostel at a great location. The staff was nice and the rooms were far from the bar so was quiet.
