The hostel is only few steps away from the main railway station and also from the Tivoli Park. The dorms are incredible huge and noisy. The staff is friendly but the rooms and bathrooms are not very clean... If you would like to discover the city and to be whole day in the city not in the hostel; it's -... More

This hostel is walking distance to the train station, so it's very convenient as a base to explore the area around Copenhagen. It has lockers in the room, and big lockers in the basement where you can store your backpack. free wifi. It's a bit expensive, but everything in Denmark is expensive anyway.

I must say that City Public Hostel is one of the hostels that I hated the most among the ones I stayed at during my trip in Scandinavia. First, you must pay for absolutely everything (blanket, pillow?...) and what you pay for isn't even good. I stayed in the 6 beds female dormitory and there was no room to put... More

This is a good hostel, the rooms are fine, the beds good, the service and atmosphere spot on. The only thing that did bother me was the complete lack of security (do take a padlock) and that the shower facilities were a little unclean and old. However, for location and price, this is a very good place.

This hostel is extremely well located, a 10 minute walk from the central train station. The staff are all nice and friendly. Bed linen is not provided, but you can rent it from reception. There is no laundry on-site, but there is one a 5 minute walk away that I used and found good. There is a kitchen which I... More

We had a 3-bed-room, with ensuite bathroom. The hallway was under construction, so kinda dusty and messy out there. But our room was very clean, and nice, but SMALL! Bathroom was also small, but new, light and very good. As a hotel; not to good, but as a hostel, as it is; ok. We didn't stay long, so have no... More

I have been there three times in three different trips I've made to Copenhagen, so you can imagine that I've actually liked it very much. The staff is very kind and the rooms are quite good. They're comfortable, roomy, clean and cozy. The location is excellent and the value perfect!

The plus points were the location, helpful staff and free BBQ! The downsides were uncomfortable beds and communal showers.
