Perfect location. Rooms are comfortable (room with private bathroom) however bathroom is very small - finally I used shared showers, which are very comfortable with place to put your belongings and clothes. Self check-in is a bit problematic and I noticed everybody had some issues. I paid for my stay but it asked me to pay again - the lady at the "reception" resolved all the issues and everything was fine. I love key-app. Easy way to open all the doors :). The only problem is when you have room in front of the pub which is on the next side of the street. During the weekend is very laud almost all night. On Friday I wasnt able to sleep until 4:00 am. Next evening I just purchased noise stoppers and it was quite fine to sleep however all the rooms with pub view should be much cheaper. I stayed 2 nights so simply just ignored that fact but when staying a bit longer - it could be really hard to get rest when audult people outside are screaming - yes, mostly screaming not just laudly talking. However - overall experience is great and I recommend this place :).

You're a mere 10-minute stroll from iconic spots like Tivoli Gardens and the National Museum. Plus, with the Meatpacking District's trendy clubs and bars just a five-minute bike ride away, your nights are sorted. Each space is adorned with Scandinavian retro-chic decor—think vintage furnishings, colorful carpets, and quirky wall art. Private rooms often overlook the charming Vandkunsten Square, while dorms provide under-bed lockers for your treasures. Step into the hostel's buzzing bar, a hotspot for locals and travelers alike. With events ranging from live music nights to themed parties (hello, Thai Full Moon with real beach sand!), there's never a dull moment. Sip on expertly crafted cocktails during Happy Hour, challenge new friends to a game of beer pong, or simply soak in the vibrant atmosphere. the staff are truly helpful with everything and they have the best Chai latte and a liter of happy hour beer

Awesome Central location, with a nice cozy bar as the lounge/reception - you can hang out there all day, charge your phone, etc., and nobody minds, very chill and friendly atmosphere. The bed was large and comfy, the room was neat, had a heater if need be, and had an excellent window view of the street. There were also lockers you could keep your luggage in before/after check-in for a small sum. The young staff was always pleasant, friendly, and helpful and although the Breakfast buffet (not included in the price) wasn't spectacular - it was plentiful, cheap, and filling. All in all, probably one of the best hostel/affordable room options in Copenhagen.

The value for the price is amazing, it is so cheap for being a hostel in the city center and in the expensive city as well. It was so clean, the bed linens were sparkly white and the bed was comfortable. The heating works great and you can adjust it. The check-in system is so easy and fast. You get codes for the main entrance, hallway, and your door and you can open them all with your phone too.

Really good location to visit the city. The room had lockers (bring your own lock) and the bed was ok, I slept well. Shared bathrooms and toilets were clean. If you are not a party person, fyi rooms are in the building just near. So you can have your own life. You can rent a locker before check in or after check out (not free)
