Copenhagen Backpackers - Hostel

The location, it is just in front of the train station

The issue in the hostel is the space. The owner is trying to fit way too much people in this hostel. The bunk beds are triple and even being very short (157cm) I struggled to lie in bed without bumping my head. Talking about bumping head, probably travellers who stayed before in this hostel had the same issue as there was a hole on the ceiling just above my bed, and I did the mistake to look through the hole on the ceiling to find out I was going to sleep with lots of rubbish above my head. The common area is alright if there is less than 10 people anymore than this it just feel to crowded with no space to hang around. Eventhough, the place has a kitchen, it isn't accessible by guests, in front of the shower there is a fridge and microwave for guests and the dirty kettle is in the crowded common area. It was very disappointing when we were told that the hostel provides linen and we had to make our own beds, imagine the scenario: the head space is tiny and I had to squeeze myself to make the bed. The worst of all, is that guestd arrive late at night and had to make their beds,waking up the entire room. One more thing, the hostel has no receptionist between 10:30pm till 7:30 and the hostel asked us the equivalent of €20 (which we paid in cash) for the key deposit. If my husband hadn't mentioned accidentally that we were doing the check out before 7:30 we would have lost €20. Eventhough it's not our fault they have no one before 7:30 they returned our money the night before but took our credit card details to make sure that we would leave the key on the reception in the morning before leaving the place. And for people who like fresh air, the two days we spent there in any moment the windows in all area were opened, the smell of human beings in a small space without fresh air was really strong.

Location

The old lady of staff sitting near reception was not behaving respectfully, multiple times.

Close to the center station

Totally different as pictures showed on here So small space you couldn't even sit on the bed and still need to make your on bed You need to pay 200dkk for the deposit which doesn't notice here
