“Copenhagen Downtown Hostel has a lively bar that definitely sets a social tone, but be warned, light sleepers might find the noise from the bar a challenge, especially on lower floors. While the central location is undeniably amazing, some maintenance issues, like clogged toilets and power outages, need addressing. I also noticed the capsule room codes were universal, which undermined security, in my opinion.”
