Cabinn Copenhagen

it’s hard to rate this hotel as it’s not glam as other hotels would be but I really enjoyed the stay and had everything I needed! - Super fast wifi available everywhere (200Mb/s down/up), so I was able to work with ease. - Amazingly equipped gym. Squat rack, heavy dumbbells, all you need really. - Super cheap - An alright breakfast - Microwave in the room and a tiny kitchen basically - Self laundry services which were reasonably priced (£3.5 for a batch)

- The room is super tiny and claustrophobic in the beginning but you’ll get used to it. - The bathroom was bit awkward as it was just a tiny room with toilet

To be honest, staying in Copenhagen is expensive. This was the cheapest place nearest to the city centre. But it's overrun with tourists / backpackers / students, etc. The rooms are small, but have everything you need. You don't have housekeeping, if you want a clean towel you need to take your old one to reception for exchange. Reception - this is a challenge. So when we arrived we were too early for check in, by about half hour. So we were told we were too early and needed to wait until the magic hour of 3pm. It was 2.30pm so we though we'd hang around reception. We noticed an electronic number board above each staff station on the reception desk, which suddenly at 2.55pm started changing by incremental numbers. Why is this? Then we realised we should have been told to "take a number" from the machine so we could have our turn at reception. So that meant we'd wasted some time. Took our number and waited our turn. Check in was sort of straight forward, although the receptionist tried to charge us when we'd already paid at the time of booking. But she was still learning the role so we didn't make a fuss. You have to take a ticket if you want to buy something from the reception area, you can't do two separate things on one ticket! So once we'd booked in we had to wait until our other number came up so we could buy a drink. Rooms - small but has everything you need. The tap in the bathroom leaked every time it was turned on, so I went back to reception (took a ticket) and asked if it could be mended. However, maintenance do not work weekends, so the earliest it could be mended was Monday (we were leaving Monday so that was that). It's quite a walk in to the city centre, the Cabinn is based in the business district so don't expect a leisurely stroll, it's more like a 15 minute fast walk to anywhere.

Mainly the reception ticket system. And could have had earlier check in time. And no housekeeping but the hotel is like a hostel really so maybe I shouldn't have set my expectations so high.

If you're used to staying in a shared hostel room, this is an obvious upgrade – the room was small, as expected for the low price, but exactly what I needed. The price is super competitive compared to other hotels in the area, and you're just a short walk from Copenhagen Central train station. The room includes some basics such as a hair dryer, some plates and bowls, cutlery, a microwave and a fridge. The bathroom is small as people have spoken about in other reviews, but it's completely functional and the floor dried extremely quickly in my experience. The nights were very quiet and I didn't hear any other residents during my sleep, and staff were super friendly. There's a small 24 hour bar/cafe with a happy hour from 17:00-19:00 for cheaper beers and drink, and although the lobby is often busy, there's always somewhere to sit with amazingly fast free WiFi. Housekeeping are scheduled to come every 5 days, but you can request them to come more regularly if you want, so that isn't a problem at all (again, as I've seen others complain about).

The only negative to the room was there was an air vent above the door that was really loud and kept waking me up during the first night. There's what looks like an air-con control next to the door, but this seemingly does nothing, and I managed to screw the air vent closed for the duration of my stay (leaving the window open instead) which meant I could sleep easily. The fridge making noises at night is also a bit disturbing, considering how close it is to the bed, but it's not a major problem.

Comfortable room, good shower, excellent breakfast.

The 30 minute wait to check in. This and the need to have a numbered paper ticket and wait until the number appeared on the screen above the reception desk made me think of a British unemployment office in the 1970s.!

Good location with a brief walk to the city centre. Clean room and bathroom. Met all our requirements. Good value as Copenhagen is not a cheap city.

Strangely elongated check-in process with no apparent reason for it.

A good budget option in an expensive city, I was happy with what I got for the price I paid. The room was small but clean and well laid out and had everything I needed - Ensuite bathroom with a good strong hot shower, desk and chair, a tiny kitchenette with fridge, microwave, kettle, and a sink for washing up. It had a window that opened, The temperature was just right. The towels were nice and soft. The kitchen was equipped with washing up liquid, tea towels and dishcloths, crockery, and a few items of cutlery (knife, spoons but no fork). It felt very secure with key card access and lots of facilities in the hotel. Good big luggage storage lockers for after check out (DK60 for 24 hours). The location is 10-15min walk from Copenhagen central station and near the river, close to Tivoli and City Hall. there is a big shopping mall nearby with two supermarkets for self catering.

My room looked out onto train tracks so I couldn’t keep the window open overnight because of the noise of trains. the rooms are not soundproof, so there was a bit of noise from the corridors at night - People were not noisy at night, but you could hear the noise from the corridors. So I had to use White Noise app to sleep. The pillow was not very comfortable - it was more like a big square cushion. I would have preferred a pillow shaped pillow, it would be good to have 2.

The single rooms are like dorm rooms with extra bells and whistles. Although the room is small, the room is designed to make the most of the space. There are lots of places to put stuff. Although I did not use the kitchen, having a fridge is handy. Unless you stay more than a week, you will not see housekeeping. But if you need anything: extra toilet paper, trash bags, etc, these items can be collected from the front desk. The floors are sectioned with doors so there is no long hall which helps keep down the noise. It is easy to get around. There is a bus stop next to the hotel. The busses run every 10-15 minutes and take you to Central Train Station where you can connect to other busses, trains, metro or Sbahns.

The front desk gets so busy you have to take a number and wait. I don't know how this could be remedied because there always seemed to be multiple people working the front desk. At least being waited on is fair with the number thing.

The location is very close to Tivoli and to the main train station. The room is very small (which one sees in advance), but it’s very well organized for its size, so that there is enough place for two people to sit and drink some cremant in the room. You can buy some snacks to go with that downstairs, I tried skyr with some granola and fruits and was delish. There is also a small electric kettle in the room, tee bags and coffee are included in the price.

You shower directly on the bathroom floor, so that it’s fully wet afterwards. So bring you plastic slippers if you don’t want you socks to get all wet. I have a similar system at home, but the part of the floor where I shower is like one centimeter lower than the rest of the flower, so that not the entire floor gets wet. So I know it could have been better. Also there is no fridge in the room. Not a problem for me, but just for information for others.

Small room but perfect for a short stay, located within 10 minutes walk of Central Station which is handy
