I send them 2x a message about the property. No response. We had a private room. Toilet terrible, was already paper in it and the water keeps running the whole night, with a lot of noise. Bed was horror, sleeping on a rock was more confortable than this. So hard and the pillows were not existed. We only slept here one night and booked something else for the next night. The elevator doesn’t came, we wait 15 minutes, than we need to push all our luggage 4 floors.

Super friendly staff! Location was very central to everything, but the church close by was ringing from 8am-0000. My dorm had to doors and a few people had a late night check in which woke me up. The luggage store made very large noises when opening. I missed a curtain for privacy and darkness. Nice breakfast 🙏🏽

Copenhagen Downtown Hostel says

I think what puts us ahead of the rest is that we're the real backpackers' in town, made by travellers for travellers. We want you to experience the real Denmark, its people, its humor and its personality. I believe that this place is the expression of a hostel how should be all around the world - full of magic, activities, livable common areas and crazy people that give this place an enjoyable and fun atmosphere. The common area features a Scandinavian retro design with recycled wooden floors from old Copenhagen apartments used for the tables and benches, plus a lot of bright colors, wall maps, and other design features to make the area warm and welcoming. There's lots to do in this area but I definitely recommend visitng Christiania - the Freetown - a unique place occupied/squatted in 1971 and now a community, where people live and chill out. Furthermore, the place has grown with bars, cafés, restaurants, concert places, art and has its own very peculiar atmosphere. If noticed in advance, we can provide all kinds of food/drinks for special needs, such as gluten-free bread. Lactose free milk (soya drink) is always in stock.
