a&o Copenhagen Norrebro

We feel very lucky to have booked this great value, newly opened, hotel-like hostel for our 4-night stay in Copenhagen! The hostel was spotlessly clean, felt safe and secure, and the staff were very helpful. We had a double/twin room with en-suite. Towels, shower gel, and hair-dryer are provided, which saves lots of packing! The shower was very good. The beds were comfortable, a minor complaint was that the twin bed mattresses kept moving apart when pushed together to make our double bed. Our room while hostel-small was sufficiently big. The black-out blinds were excellent. Our room was on the street side of the building, which meant that late-night and early-morning traffic noise was a real issue when the window was open (which it needed to be, due to the warm weather), though, to be fair, when closed the window reduced the traffic noise completely. I'd suggest requesting a room at the back of the building, where it must be quieter. We did not avail of the breakfast option, but it seemed popular. While the hostel is outside the central touristy-area, the excellent 6A bus stops outside (every 10 mins!) and provides speedy access to the city centre, the train/bus station, and the Metro station to the airport etc. We walked in town from the hostel several times, taking different routes through the surrounding interesting neighbourhoods, which gave us a "feel" for the real city, and also allowed us to find lovely local coffee shops etc. n.b. entrance to hostel is at the back!!

The hostel is known, but the kitchen is a complete disaster! The kitchen had the washing machine inside included with the kitchen! Dirty kitchen and no kits at all! There was not even a knife! the staff is good but more people should work there! Like people waiting for ages there! simply they can make the storage room a kitchen

Great no frills hotel in a cool neighbourhood. Loved it.

Service and stay was fine, room a bit tight with the bunk beds. Not much around in the neighborhood but buses right out the door

It was perfect for what it was! Think it could be cheaper at £50 a night for it being basic was a little expensive but it’s clean, they offer gluten free breakfast! But maybe Invest in better mattresses and bedding, it’s as basic as it comes so that needs to consist with the price of it which was a little more expensive then the quality of what you get! But I would stay again.

I really liked it, very close to the centre.

Comfortable basic. Clean and very convenient location. Lovely staff.

Very good value for money, especially for Copenhagen. Don’t hesitate because the hostel is outside the city centre, you’re only 2 minutes away from the nearest station.

If you have any chance to avoid this hotelish please do so. Rooms are super small (don’t be fooled with the pictures). You will have difficulties even while storing your luggage. Car park is way too expensive. There is no air condition. Heating is central controlled. There is nothing in the neighbourhood.

The AO hotel was really clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and worked extremely hard in this busy hotel/hostel. Breakfast was good and the pizzas from the bar were delicious as a late night snack. Only downside was the room was quite small and very warm at night making it hard to sleep, as it got very noisy, very early so couldn't have the windows open. Easy to get around the city from here and transportation is excellent. Great place to stay and good value for money in a very expensive city.
