This is a great place to stay if you want to be in the city centre. There's so many great places to eat and drink while you explore Copenhagen, as well as meeting an amazing diversity of travellers!! The DreamBoks capsules are fantastic, and a great way to have privacy on a budget. All the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the bar has some great deals for drinks! I will absolutely return in the future!!

Brilliant location, onsite bar was great. The keyless system was overly complex to get set up and the app did not work, but we were given a manual code to use instead and that was fine. On our floor there were only three toilets so ended up queuing during the morning rush. However there was a sink in the room. Room was clean, and they offered activities to get involved in. I would stay here again!

we stayed in a bunkbed room with the bathroom/shower combo. luckily on the first floor so not horribly hot (we were there in July) but smokers galore right under our window and lots of noise around during the nighttime. the shower was the bathroom itself and was the first time I'd used one. kinda inconvenient with the water but it all dried by morning with the door open. wouldn't stay here again. it was mostly fine but we didn't sleep well.

Extremely hard to check in. The lobby had a crazy party with tons of drunk people. The lobbyist didn't wanted to help me in the beginning. Note. You have to use an app/homepage to open up the doors. Which I found very hard. The aircondition in the sleeping pods didn't really work and it was extremely warm. I would not recommend or visit again.
