Globalhagen Hostel (Copenhagen, Denmark)

One of the unique selling points of this hotel is its eco-friendly and green aspects. Guests enjoy the recycled furniture and point out the uniqueness of it. Little touches like energy-saving light bulbs and Fairtrade products are also appreciated by many guests.

The majority of the staff working at this hostel are volunteers and are said to be very enthusiastic about their role. Guests state the staff are very friendly and welcoming and do their best to ensure guests have the best time in Copenhagen.

Located on the edge of central Copenhagen, the hostel's position is frequently praised in reviews. Guests enjoy the surrounding neighbourhood and mention the multiple restaurants and bars it contains. Most of the city centre is within walking distance of the property, another convenient factor.

This property does not include linen in the price initially charged, it is an extra cost. Many guests feel this is unfair as they do not have a choice but to pay for the linen and reviews suggest it is a hidden cost that deceives the guest.

Dozens of guests criticise the levels of cleanliness across the property, with particular focus on the rooms. Reviews report dirty floors and mention not seeing any cleaning for several days. Bathrooms are also slated for being dirty and smelly, with build-ups of mould a common issue.

The hostel can accommodate around eighty guests at full capacity and guests feel there is not an adequate amount of bathrooms to cope with these numbers. There is only one bathroom on each floor and many of the dormitories hold up to twenty guests. Reviews report having to wait to use bathrooms, particularly in the morning.
