Location is great, price is decent, and you pretty much get what is advertised. However… my overall experience wasn’t so pleasant.
I am a Danish resident. Due to construction work, I have been unable to live in my own apartment for a couple of days, which is why I booked my stay at Danhostel CPH City. During my check-in I was met with scepticism at the counter and had to answer why I had booked the stay. When I answered, the staff informed me that they don't normally let Danish residents stay at their premises. I haven't come across this information at any time during my booking process, and it quite frankly made me feel very unwelcome. In addition, other guests who were also there for check-in were likewise treated as if they were an inconvenience. Furthermore, I was not provided with any information as to where the different facilities were located, and it just did not feel like the staff was capable of handling such a busy establishment with a smile.
I checked in within the regular check-in period, but my room hadn't been cleaned when I arrived a little after 2pm, and the place - especially the bathroom - was filthy. The room wasn't cleaned until around 5pm, and only the bathroom was cleaned. Not the main room/bedroom.
With the relatively low price, I can live with imperfections such as squeaking beds, painful ladders on the bunk beds(!), a lack of practical shelves, hooks, etc. It's also fair that you make your own bed and bring your own lock. However, a pleasant attitude amongst the staff is of great importance, and unfortunately that was missing. Also, the room was dirty upon arrival, and the kitchen was completely packed during regular dinner hours. There wasn't a stove available until around 20:45. What's more, it was incredibly hot during the night even with the heater completely turned off and a lot of airing out during daytime (and this is in November!). But since the window had to stay closed during night hours because of the immense traffic noise, it was quite intolerable.
There are a lot of things you can live with as long as there is a friendly and hospitable atmosphere. Unfortunately the place felt more like a factory than a hostel, so all in all I was quite disappointed with my stay.
