Copenhagen Downtown Hostel

La struttura non è lontana dal Municipio. Si compone di due sezioni (con ingressi diversi): un bar (dove si trova anche la reception); la porta accanto conduce alle camere dell'ostello, che occupano sei piani. L'ascensore (di vecchia concezione) arriva solo al quinto piano, quindi chi ha prenotato una camera al sesto dovrà salire di un altro piano. Le camere sono piuttosto anguste, il letto superiore è sospeso su tubi, il che può dare l'impressione di essere in un seminterrato. Su tutto il piano ci sono solo due bagni, due lavandini e tre docce. La cucina vera e propria non è a disposizione degli ospiti: c'è una piccola stanza buia al piano terra, sotto il bar, che contiene due piccoli frigoriferi, un forno a microonde e un bollitore. Non c'è nemmeno un lavandino con acqua corrente, il che può essere difficile se si devono lavare i piatti, la frutta e la verdura, ecc.

Copenhagen Downtown Hostel – Capsule Stay Review This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel in Copenhagen (£80 per night), after hearing positive feedback from friends who had travelled here. I decided to try the quiet zone option with a comfortable capsule located near the hostel facilities. Pros: • Excellent location in the heart of the city, with restaurants, bars, and cafés within walking distance. • Easy access to all main attractions. • The capsule area was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, I left with mixed feelings. While the location and cleanliness met expectations, the hostel’s operation style felt more “self-service” and less attentive to guest concerns. On the first night, my sleep was disrupted by a guest in the quiet zone who was both noisy and snored loudly throughout the night. It affected everyone in the vicinity, and despite some guests (myself included) gently knocking to try and reduce the disturbance, it continued until morning. On the second night, the same issue occurred, but it was made worse by a sudden emergency alarm at around 4:45 AM, requiring all guests to evacuate and wait outside for inspection before returning to bed. Understandably, safety comes first, but the timing and the combination of disturbances made it impossible to rest. When I tried to contact staff in the middle of the night, there was no one available, so I had to raise the issue through Trip.com. Although staff later offered some coins as a goodwill gesture, it did not feel proportionate to the £80 per night rate... especially when nearby private rooms can be found for much less. Sadly, what I hoped would be a unique and comfortable stay turned into a frustrating experience. I will not be returning, and I would advise light sleepers to consider alternatives.
