Copenhagen Backpackers Hostel — Hotel in Copenhagen Municipality

The location is good for anybody who wants an easy way to get around Copenhagen- it’s right by the central station. The rooms are decent, though there doesn’t seem to be any heating when the weather is cold (a minor inconvenience at the end of the day).

The facilities at this location, however, are severely lacking. For a place with over 10 rooms (with some of the rooms having multiple guests), to only have two toilets in a small area for the whole “hostel” (not even separated by gender) is uncomfortable and ridiculous.

If you got to use the restroom, you don’t feel like you have any privacy as it’s a popular location when there’s so few options available. (On a side note, who wants to run into someone from the opposite gender in a restroom after spending their whole life used to gender specific restrooms (not a political statement, just a preference)). I have never in my whole life of hosteling and travelling stayed at a place so lacking in common accommodations. The shower situation isn’t better, with only 2 available, and again, it’s not separated by gender. These factors alone are enough for me to recommend that you DON’T stay here.

The rooms are decent, but I’m positive that you can find a much more comfortable, hostel-like place to stay in Copenhagen- with an actual staff you can interact with, more than two small toilets in a crowded room, and perks like cheap breakfast and common areas to relax and hang out. Don’t stay here! I’m sure there’s worse places in the world to spend a couple nights, but there are definitely better ones...

Ok so first of all the amenities listed are completely inaccurate. There is no bar/lounge, no luggage storage, no TV room, no board games, no laundry service, no bike rental and no snacks bar/breakfast buffet. ||Pros|• Comfortable beds|• Clean nice bedding|• Lockers big enough to fit a suitcase |• Towel provided|• Location next to train station and easy access to shops/bars/restaurants/attractions |• Security codes for entry|• Check in at 2pm|• Check out at 11am|• Security camera looking at luggage |• Low cost for Copenhagen ||Cons|• No lounge or bar|• Fan not very effective so gets warm in pods even in winter|• Staff in morning prior to check out began stripping our pod as we were trying to repack without saying a word and as we were about to leave chucked all on the linen, pillows and duvets on the floor in front of us blocking out exit as we couldn't get the case over them|• Lots of light in pods even with door shut|• Shower room stank of mold and damp with visible mold spores on ceiling and walls, very unhygienic and dangerous to health |• Have to get changed in small pod as camera on you as soon as you exit|• 3 toilets and 2 showers shared between a large amount of people|• Very little space in room to go through luggage|Keypads on pods very loud at night, woke us up|• Toilets not big enough to open door properly and in the case of the one next to the pods, not wide enough to sit on comfortably for most people without partly sitting on the housing unit for the plumbing |• You have to hold tap on to get water to flow, difficult to wash face,...

Beware of false advertising on their webpage, the rooms do NOT look like what is shown anymore, there are TRIPLE bunk beds there which leave so little space that you cant even sit there.

pros: location near central station (but it is not the only hostel there) friendly and helpful staff overall clean (at least it seems like staff do what they can, but so many guests in so little space can be bit of a challenge) power socket for each bed

cons: triple bunk beds no lockers nowhere to put your backpack - just leave it on floor no kitchen for guests - you can borrow cups and plates tho just 2 toilets for entire hostel - expect waiting do not use middle shower stall :) extra fees feels like it was decent hostel in past, but now owner just tries to squeeze more juice out of it.

With my friend we stayed in dorm room where "cute and cozy" means nothing besides bunks stuffed on each other with no space in-between. There are no lockers, no hanger, no shelf, nowhere to put your backpack beside directly on bed, nowhere to sit. The beds are poorly fixed in place so you can feel every movement of people below (above) you. The ladders to upper beds are crappy and miss steps. Appreciate lamp and power socket with every bed. Although lamps are so bright, that they lit whole room and disturbs people sleeping in next space. Overall way too many people crammed in small rooms (they are much smaller than it might seem from photos). Ok if you need spend night. Not for much...
