Clean, nice room, quiet hotel reasonably priced

You can stay here in a bunk room but I choose a double room which was very clean with a good bathroom. Nice bar and entertainment area downstairs. It’s a hotel mainly for backpackers but not noisy and the location suited me perfectly.

Another pleasant visit to A&O in Sydenham :) This is our port of call when we visit our family in Sluseholmen - we only use it to sleep in so we’re happy that it’s a hostel with no frills as it keeps the price down. It’s clean & beds are comfortable, we always sleep well. There’s no automatic room cleaning now so you have to request it if you want it. When you want a change of towels/bed linen you can collect at reception. There’s no wardrobes only a coat stand with a few coat hangers & metal tall shelving unit. There no AC or ceiling fan - but we’ve been there in all seasons & not noticed a problem with temp. There’s a hairdryer in bathroom with shower gel. The shower is easy to operate & we’ve always had hot water with good water pressure. There’s a new Metro that’s recently opened that will get you into the city centre in a few stops. We downloaded the app Rejsekort which is super easy to use & it’s cheap to travel the metro. (even cheaper if you’re a pensioner ;) There’s a continental style self service breakfast for around £10 pp. There’s parking on site for a charge paid at reception. If you want luxury and pampering this is not for you but it suits our purpose which is why we return.

This is a good hostel - we’ve stayed here a few times when visiting family in Sluseholmen. Its reasonable price is how I’ve reviewed accommodation. It’s basic but clean & comfortable. We sleep well. No wardrobe just a metal shelving unit & a few coat hangers. Clean white linen/ towels. TV but sadly no English channels. Shower/shampoo gel & hairdryer. If you want room cleaning you have to request it. You can also obtain clean linen & towels at reception. There’s a car park on site that you pay for & cycles to hire. Breakfast is £10 -continental style -including boiled eggs, cereal, yoghurt, fresh rolls, toast & jam, juice, coffee, cheese, ham, salad. There’s a new Metro about 10min walk - need an Oyster type card to travel on - 4 stops to Centre & 6 stops to Nyhavn approx £2.50 one way. Also a mainline train station Syd Havn (South Harbour) 3min walk. A few cafes within walking distance. We’ve always found it feels a safe area.

Clean, comfy & convenient :)

We stay here regularly as a place to sleep as daytimes spend time at our sons’s home in Sluseholmen :) It’s clean & pleasant here..white linen and we get a good nights sleep as we like the beds..not sumptuous but comfortable for us :) We’ve never had a disturbed night. There’s no kettle or mini fridge. There’s shower gel & hairdryer. This time it appears they’ve changed cleaning routine..I’d never been sure when they come in to clean..but when they do they seem to just empty bins & towels, however if want clean towels & bedding all you do is ask at reception for it. It suits us. You can park in the carpark .not sure of cost. Friday & Sat eves, there’s music & karaoke in bar area. They do breakfast if you want it - mostly continual but you can get warm boiled eggs and there’s pancakes. I must say we l’ve had a problem with waiting times at Reception the last 2 visits....appears there’s only one person covering reception & bar a lot of the time ..management need to address that.

Too expensive for poor quality

The cleaning of the room was not up to par! Dirt in corners and under the bed - wireframes of bed soiled - we were told the site had parking but not that we had to pre-book.

The property is dirty. Bathroom has blobs on hair on the towel heater. Our window instead of opening a bit opened all the way we felt terribly unsafe with a 6 year old. Sink wouldn’t drain felt disgusted. I have photos for all of this. I use Expedia many times and am always satisfied but this hotel/hostel is so so dirty.

Zimmer hat leider etwas komisch gerochen, Schimmel leider an den Fenstern und den Fugen im Bad. Sauberkeit im Hostel leider nicht so gegeben. Frühstück leider nur Massenware, man kann es essen oder sein lassen. Cappuccino 50% nur Wasser. Wenn man das A&O bucht darf man nicht zu große Ansprüche haben. Der Preis macht es am Schluss. Neben an ist das Moxyy, kostet dann aber mal schnell das 2-3 fache. 2 Tage hält man aus. Bahn, Bus und Fähre gut erreichbar zu Fuß.

Bra hostel

Familj om 4 på genomresa. Vi boka som hastigast. Överlag bra inget att klaga på mer än att de va så oerhört varmt just när vi va där så vi fick ha fönstren öppna då de saknas ac. Vårt rum vette ut mot gården som är där ingången är och de va lastbilar som kom i strid ström hela natten, gick inte att sova tyvärr. Men generellt bra vandrarhem, de kan behöva uppdatera de allmänna utrymmena. Men bra frukost, bra service och bra överlag.
