The room was spacious, and having our own private bathroom was very convenient. The room also had a bucket and a drying rack for clothes, which we found very practical. There is a shared kitchen located separately from the rooms, which is very practical if you want to prepare your own food or drinks. There are also tables and chairs outside the room, making it a nice place to sit, relax and spend some time together. We also liked the sense of security provided by the windows. Most of them cannot be opened, and the one that can be opened has a safety restriction and only opens a few centimetres. Breakfast is available for an additional 125 DKK per person. It is very convenient that not everyone staying in the room has to book breakfast and that you can choose it only for the days you want. This is a very good place to stay overnight and a great base for exploring the city. We spent almost the entire day out sightseeing, so we mainly used the accommodation for sleeping, resting and spending a little time together in the evening. For this type of trip, it suited us very well. The accommodation is very well connected by public transport. The train station is literally just across from the accommodation, which was extremely convenient. We used the Copenhagen Card – Discover, which in our experience is an excellent option for short stays of up to 5 days, as it includes all public transport and admission to more than 80 attractions. With the station so close, it was very easy to get around Copenhagen and the surrounding area.

The beds could be a little more comfortable, and the pillows are quite thin, so having a few extra pillows in the room would be helpful. A hairdryer in the room would also be a useful addition. There was occasionally a slight smell of dampness and an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom, although the room can be aired out. We did not receive the key box code in advance, but when we called, the host answered immediately and gave us the code, so the issue was resolved very quickly. Bed linen is charged separately at 80 DKK per person/set, which is stated in the accommodation information, so it is worth paying attention to this when booking. The room door locks automatically as soon as it closes and can only be opened with the key card, so make sure not to leave both cards inside the room. We had two separate beds and a bunk bed. Above the lower bunk, there is a metal bar positioned close to where your head is, so you need to be very careful when sitting up or getting out of bed, as it is quite easy to hit your head on it. This is rather awkward, and it would be a good idea to cover the bar with rubber, foam or another soft protective material to reduce the risk of injury.

It was great to stop by again. The rooms are comfortable and the common spaces are very convenient.

all was good

The rooms were big and check-in was easy.

The hygiene is not very good. The filters in our bathroom had green and yellow mold and dust.
