Super hotel for a low price! Central, close to the s-bane, helpful staff. Not much in the area, but that didn’t matter since it was easy to get to public transport.

The room was ok and clean. The rest of the building was a little run down. Small and slow elevator, felt dirty. The breakfast was ok and the breakfast area looked clean.

Our stay at a&o hostel was excellent. It would be good if a kitchen with facilities was available so you can prepare your own meals and dinner available. This is based on our experience at a&o Hostel in Sydhaven, Coppenhagen.

Hostel with hotel quality

Second time i stayed here. It has everything you need, clean room, basic bathroom , fast check in and out, close to the metro and walking distance to the train station, the place is huge ,location not very pretty but hey ,I don’t complain. We paid around half the money compared to other hotels. Will def.come again.
