I just stayed here last week. I accidentally booked at another place for the wrong days, and they were booked for the nights I needed. Such a happy mistake because I was able to come here instead!
The hostel is small and cozy (my favorite kind since it's easier to navigate and meet people!) They sell some snacks, coffee and beer at the front cafe, and offer a donation-based yoga class on most mornings. The staff are so warm and helpful. On my first night, Elena (super love) basically mapped me through all of Copenhagen after I told her I was here to eat good food and drink the good drank. Thanks much! It was the one hostel map I actually used during my 5-city tour.
The rooms, showers and restrooms are clean and cozy. Free linen is provided along with breakfast and coffee/tea in the mornings.
I also loved the location. I was considering going to another place in Norrebro after my original choice, but thankful that I came here instead. You're about a 8 minute walk from Central Station, making it easy to go to the Louisiana, castles and Airport. You also get to walk through the world's smallest red-light district and see Copenhagen's dark drug-and-sex infested underbelly (lol, not really). You're also within walking distance to Meatpacking which has a bunch of clubs, restaurants, bars and bodegas. I walked to Norrebro once or twice, but I walk everywhere over New York so it may not be something you want to do. Cristiana and Nyhavn are also not too far away, and actually it was great to see the city by wandering around the streets, getting lost and reorienting myself again.
A great bar is right across the street, Mikkeller, so if you're too lazy or tired to venture out you can always come here for a good time.
Next time I visit Copenhagen I will definitely stay here.
Quick hint: if you're arriving at nighttime, the entrance to the hostel is actually at garden level. you may miss the sign. look for well-lit entrances that you need to step down into and knock. reception closes at 10, so if you go out and plan to be out after that, a $10 deposit will grant you access to a key. when you return the key, you'll get your deposit back. read more
