I thought this hotel was a great option. Though, we paid $312.00 per night, that was not untypical for Copenhagen. The complex has a college dorm feeling, but it has a quaint feel. I was please with our stay.

The room was not ready till 2P, when we arrived at 900A. That was okay as we left our baggage in storage. We returned at 200p and the room was ready. It was spacious and very clean. We thought the wooden floors were a nice touch. The bathroom was large. We had a balcony that faced the main court. When, we closed the windows we could not hear anything. We thoght the room was quite. The rail station news did not bother us.

The breakfast had a great selection of meats and cheeses. There was plenty of cereal and the coffee was robust.

The hotel is housed next to a great gym facility. We were so busy seeing the city, that we did not have time to use the pool or the gym.

The location is great, it is right behind the main station and 5 minutes from Tivilo. it is a 15 min to 30 minute walk to all the highlights of Copenhagen. Go to GORM bakery for some of the greatest Danish. It is 15 minute walk to Nyhavn, which is a cool place to have a beer and dinner.

I've stayed at this place numerous times over the last few years. I travel from California to Copenhagen for periodic work trips.

If nothing, this place is consistent. It's not fancy and it's not perfect, but for the price and location, there's little to beat it.

The plusses are: location and amenities. This place is directly next to the best swimming pool & recreational center in the city. The rooms are clean and simple. I find the place very comfortable, and the staff is friendly. If it's raining, they'll lend you (for free) an umbrella.

The negatives: being directly next to the railroad tracks, there's noise from that. Sometimes a lot.

But for the price, it's a great find.

I know we were in Scandinavia, but the design of the room was not modern, it was just very dull and plain. The size was decent, but it felt like we were in a hospital. Also, we kept on hearing other doors closing. Finally the bathroom was in definite need for renovation: everything was falling apart.
Because it's part of a swim / conference center, it doesn't feel like a hotel. We didn't feel very confortable and relaxed.

We stayed in DGI-byen over New Year's Eve. We chose it mainly because of its price - which was very low for Copenhagen, and its location.
The location is very central - right next to the main train station, so it is easy to access from the airport. Although we had view on the train tracks the room was very quiet. The main shopping street is within 10 minutes walk from the hotel.
The room itself had a good size and the bathroom was big. There was a kettle in the room, tea bags, instant coffee and some plastic mugs and spoons, which I personally found great.
The breakfast was good. There was quite a bit to choose from. But you must be careful about the breakfast times, because they are rather strict about them.
The only bad thing that I can say about the hotel is that there was some constant buzzing in the room. I don't know where it came from, perhaps it was something on the roof as we were on the last floor. However, this noise was not loud and you won't hear it if you're talking or watching TV, and it will not wake you up.
I would definitely stay in this hotel again if I was going to Copenhagen, and I would also recommend it to others.
