Copenhagen Downtown Hostel – Capsule Stay Review
This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel in Copenhagen (£80 per night), after hearing positive feedback from friends who had travelled here. I decided to try the quiet zone option with a comfortable capsule located near the hostel facilities.
Pros:
• Excellent location in the heart of the city, with restaurants, bars, and cafés within walking distance.
• Easy access to all main attractions.
• The capsule area was clean and the bed was comfortable.
However, I left with mixed feelings. While the location and cleanliness met expectations, the hostel’s operation style felt more “self-service” and less attentive to guest concerns.
On the first night, my sleep was disrupted by a guest in the quiet zone who was both noisy and snored loudly throughout the night. It affected everyone in the vicinity, and despite some guests (myself included) gently knocking to try and reduce the disturbance, it continued until morning.
On the second night, the same issue occurred, but it was made worse by a sudden emergency alarm at around 4:45 AM, requiring all guests to evacuate and wait outside for inspection before returning to bed. Understandably, safety comes first, but the timing and the combination of disturbances made it impossible to rest.
When I tried to contact staff in the middle of the night, there was no one available, so I had to raise the issue through Trip.com. Although staff later offered some coins as a goodwill gesture, it did not feel proportionate to the £80 per night rate... especially when nearby private rooms can be found for much less.
Sadly, what I hoped would be a unique and comfortable stay turned into a frustrating experience. I will not be returning, and I would advise light sleepers to consider alternatives.
The proximity to CPH airport which is about under 10mins walk is really great if you have an early flight. The bed is great for a good night rest. Room size is just about right to open two big luggages.
Everything is self-service, hence the average score, however they also have service staff at the counter to help for those who need assistance.
Very basic amenities like shampoo and body/hand soap plus a hairdryer like most of the Scandinavia / European hotels. Would be nice if could provide a kettle to make some hot drinks. Clean towels which is good but would be better if could provide bath robe.
I’ve paid for the breakfast and it had good variation.
The shared toilet and bathroom is clean and well maintained and always available when needed. The shared lounge has enough space and we were able to find seats when needed. The shared pantry is adequate for preparation of snacks or light meals. The room Is designed principally for sleeping and it serves its purpose. We were able to sleep soundly. The mattress, room size and room temperature are satisfactory. The comforter doesn’t smell fresh enough for us; but it’s not a deal breaker. This is an interesting innovation in budget traveler accommodation and for its price we believe it’s worth a try. This accommodation is definitely better than traditional hostels.
For the room I stayed in is really small. Even I am short, I could not sit straight on my bed ( can refer to the picture I uploaded).
The toilet and the bathroom is really cold, especially for right side of the bathroom as there is no heater inside. And the cleaning staff, their service attitude a bit worse. During the morning hour, they will clean the toilet and bathroom, also for the checked-out bed. From my experience, they stared at me and made me feel uncomfortable and ”under pressure”, seems I should not stay at the area (where they are cleaning). Also, I found that they changed the pillow cover and bed sheet on floor(disgusting). However, the reception is nice.
As it is a hostel, it is reasonable for them to charging fee from the shampoo, shower gel, or service (like storing luggage service). However, I have never heard and experienced that accommodation does not provide hairdryer for free(cost $50 dkk). It is alarming to everyone who would like to book this hostel when coming to Copenhagen, you need to bring shampoo, shower gel, teeth blush, etc. If it is possible bring your own hairdryer as well, it is costly for you to bring one for just a few days.
I would totally not recommend people to stay in this hostel cause there is better options with the similar price (like airbnb or other hostel chain).
The building entrance and the reception areas are impressive. The receptionist is very welcoming.
But the room itself feels like a cheap motel. Neet, but cheap. Not worth the price. Beds sound like a camp bed, but it feels ok. The shower is just in the same area as a toilet, and for the shower you stand right on the floor, the same floor as a toilet. Coffee/tea amenities: two cheap cups, and normal two coffee,sugar,creamer. Interestingly that coffee has a label of the hotel, but not cups.
Lights are not enough in the room, it feels dark. And there is no central turning on/off switch for light in the room. You need to turn on/off each and every light manually.
No hair dryer. There is no separate shampoo. It's just all in one soap+shampoo liquid.
Leaving your luggage/bags after checkout is not for free. They have lockers, which you need to pay for.
The breakfast buffet is nothing fancy, and not a lot of options.
The location is good. Not far away from the center.
And there were no city views from my room, but it said so when booking.
And there is a small gym inside.
Hotel is clean, chic, and modern with nice kitchen utensils, eventhough some spots look a bit dusty. The very minus point is the location is very hard to recognize because it’s located in the middle of tall buildings and I have to go through quite a lot stairs. The hotel location pin point is not accurate and it led me to an old and creepy warehouse which then I realized the hotel located next to it, but the gate wasn’t open at that time (probably because it’s almost midnight). I came at 11pm with a lot of confusion to find the hotel, tried to contact the CS but no reply or solution was given, ended up found the hotel after 1 hour.
The environment is fantastic, the language is friendly, and you can see the windmills and round buildings by the sea from the window. The facilities are comprehensive, with plenty of restaurants and bars. It's very close to the subway station, and nearby 7-Elevens and supermarkets are also very convenient. It's also close to the city center, making it easy to get around.
PS: Definitely choose a high-floor room! The view is truly expansive; you can watch the sunrise in the morning, the sunset in the evening, and the incredibly large moon at night.
Fantastic location, easy to reach from the highway as well as with public transport. Good sized room with comfy bed and good and clean facilities. The burgers and milkshakes are amazing and the 50's US style adds a lot of character.
Service bad becaue my luggage locker was opened even after properly paid. They do not solve the problem in a right way and they do not even say sorry for their ignorant.
The location is fantastic, within walking distance to everything! Even though it's super close to the airport, the rooms are incredibly quiet! Not a peep of noise! The breakfast spread is amazing! Lots of delicious breads and pastries! And a great variety of sausages too!!!
Very Good

GGuest UserEasy check in and check out. Booked because of the proximity to the airport. Only downside is there isn’t a shuttle service available for the airport and the train station is pretty far. Overall the short stay was good and easy to get to the airport by cab.
SSal Z.I stayed at this hotel for 7 days, occupying 3 different rooms due to separate bookings. My experience varied depending on the room type.
For the smaller room, the condition was quite disappointing — the carpet was dirty with many dark stains, and the pillows had an unpleasant smell. The room itself felt cramped. Also, do note that basic amenities such as toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo are not provided, so it’s best to bring your own. There were no robes or slippers either.
For the larger room, the experience was slightly better. It came with a coffee machine (though strangely, no kettle). However, the lighting was still minimal — no ceiling lamps, just a few dim lights. I’m not sure if that’s typical for Denmark, but it felt a bit unusual to me.
On the positive side, I really loved the location. It’s in a convenient area, close to grocery stores, in a calm and peaceful neighborhood with no noise pollution. Overall, the surroundings were lovely even though the room conditions could be improved.

MMr.Saif 赛义夫My recent stay at the Scandic Glostrup presented a bit of a trade-off. While the hotel offered good services and a nice breakfast, its location being far from the city center was a significant factor in my experience. The journey to the heart of Copenhagen took approximately half an hour, which required some planning and consideration for transportation. This distance might be a drawback for those primarily interested in easily accessing central attractions and nightlife. However, the hotel itself provided a comfortable and well-serviced environment. The staff were helpful, and the amenities were satisfactory. I particularly enjoyed the nice breakfast, which offered a good variety and quality of food to start the day. In conclusion, Scandic Glostrup could be a suitable option for travelers who prioritize good service and a pleasant hotel experience and don't mind the commute to the city center. If being centrally located is a top priority, however, the half-hour travel time needs to be factored into the decision.
DDaweidezhangHotel location is very good, just turn right at the train station and then turn left. It takes 3 minutes to walk. It is very convenient. It is a short walk from the large shopping mall and there is a 10-15. The hotel is very comfortable. Breakfast is also great. It is the most convenient for business trips.
GGuest UserWanted somewhere close to the airport for a one night stay. Location was great other than having to navigate crossing 6 lanes with our luggage and no pedestrian crossing. Without luggage we found a much safer route. There are steps at the front of the hotel which again were tricky with luggage but reception told us there was a lift at the back of the building so it was easier when we left. Hotel is just a 3 minute walk from Tarnby station. And tarnby is just one stop from the airport (less than ten mins) so it’s super convenient. Check in was great and our room was ready at 10am! Very unexpected. Room was adequate and comfortable. No kettle or fridge. No shampoo etc but there was liquid hand soap . Bathroom was adequate. Breakfast was quite limited but there were hot soft boiled eggs, some meats, cheeses, cereals and a nice coffee machine. Everything was good enough for a one night convenient stay.
AAlhm25This is a nice hotel by the sea. The view is gorgeous especially in the early morning. Service staff are generally helpful. Breakfast is quite good with a large organic selection. The amenities for the basic room is really basic with nothing, not even two mugs.
GGuest UserSkønt hotel med den bedste beliggenhed. Rent og pænt sted. Kunne desværre ikke spise der, da køkkenet var lukket om søndagen, MEN fortræffelig morgenmad.
