Very good service in all aspects. Facilities, bathroom and showers, and the room itself always clean.

The capsule did not have air conditioning, very difficult to sleep due to the heat.

Hostel located in the historic center, close to the train station and Tivoli Park. You can walk to the most important sights of Copenhagen from there. We got a lower cabin, in a room on the 5th floor (there is an elevator), facing the courtyard. So in our case, we couldn't hear the bar downstairs, as mentioned in other reviews. There were no problems entering the lower capsule either. There were around 3 toilets and 4 showers for dozens of people on the floor, plus a sink in the room with the capsules, for a few people. Nevertheless, we managed to use them without queues both in the evening and in the morning. Clean bedding, comfortable mattress. Towels are available for an additional fee - we had our own. Free earplugs available at the reception. The shower battery was a bit strange - you couldn't adjust the flow rate, only the temperature - water temperature was fine.

There was a buzzing fan working all the time in the capsule, couldn't do without earplugs. It was initially quite stuffy, then I got used to it. There were some entry issues: after self-checking in at the terminal prepared at the entrance, I didn't receive the code by email, fortunately the staff helped. The PIN pad on the door to the room with the capsules was working reluctantly and sometimes you had to enter the code 10 times for it to open (gently touching it with just the tip of the finger helped). Interestingly, identical panels on the floor doors and in the capsule itself worked flawlessly. There are no full 230V sockets in the capsule, only USB chargers (type A and C), you need to have your own cable. Luggage storage was missing - lockers or backpack hooks. The backpack placed at the feet was uncomfortable during sleep. The shower is just a rainfall shower without a handheld showerhead, which may bother some people.

Good location but no staff.

Good location but no staff.

I arrived around midnight. Entering the apartment was like Fort Boyard: the reception is outside, in a bar, self-check-in, download the application - I want to sleep, not guess these quests. After all, the entry code was not suitable, only the next day did I understand how to use the application. Lockers under the bed. And noise from the street. No elevator, no luggage room, not even a chair in the apartment. 3 showers for the entire floor.

The beds are comfortable. It is a suitable hostel for very short stays.

They can improve in cleanliness. Access at the beginning seemed complicated.
