A real hostel experience
Had a private room with a bunk bed. Very dirty, no towels, and a lot of noice during the night. A real hostel experience with low standard. Check in and check out worked great though

Too hot to sleep
Sleeping in a capsule on 4th floor was horrible - it was about 29 degrees in the capsule even at 3 o'clock in the night.

Nothing Like the Pictures – Avoid This One!
When we entered our room, everything was filthy and completely different from the photos online. I travel abroad 10–15 times a year for business, and I have never experienced anything this awful in my life. The moment we saw the room, my colleague and I immediately left and checked into another hotel.

The flushing in the bathroom did not work, the guided tour was not well organised and left before the assigned time and the location of the hostel was loud. However other travellers were nice and the room good.

While the location of the hostel is amazing, you can reach every landmark and cool spots easily by foot or bike, the building itself was run down. The rooms were kinda cleanish, but the showers were not clean and the toilets we’re disgusting or didn’t work at all. Staff was quit friendly.

Pod Copenhagen hostel downtown
Control panel on the pod didn't work properly, so couldnt really lock the pod and the fan didn't work to well so was really hot. But not too bad overall.

The lockers are under the beds. Some beds have smaller lockers.
Sometimes the check in can be delayed. They offered me a free locker. But the stairs to the lockers is a path to inferno: it’s narrow and steep, including ups and downs.

Bar was good set up,dinning could area be more spacious.
Could be less stairs,There were only handrails on lengthy exits.
The roadworks outside were hazard with plate overlaying ever couple metres and hardly any protection covering open pit near footpath into the premises along the street

its ok. But ok for the price and location. But i did not like that the bedrooms are not at the same building of the bar (its next to it). Also did not like the checkout. i was literally kicked out from the hotel bedroom at 10 am.
