Our stay at a&o hostel was excellent. It would be good if a kitchen with facilities was available so you can prepare your own meals and dinner available. This is based on our experience at a&o Hostel in Sydhaven, Coppenhagen.

Do not stay at this hotel! The hotel is in a very shady part of town, with intoxicated men just hanging in and around the hotel. There were no sheets or pillow cases on the bed and the mattress was filthy! The pillow and throw were covered in blood and sweat and there were unknown substances running down the wall. I tried to call the customer service but the phone was answered by a rude man demanding my name and room number, which was so odd! We had no choice to but check out within a hour of checkin in. My children were too scared to sleep in such conditions. Do not stay here!!!

Hostel with hotel quality

Second time i stayed here. It has everything you need, clean room, basic bathroom , fast check in and out, close to the metro and walking distance to the train station, the place is huge ,location not very pretty but hey ,I don’t complain. We paid around half the money compared to other hotels. Will def.come again.

Chaotic

Check in wasn’t good at all. Everyone was encourage to use the self service terminals however I never actually saw anyone successfully check in this way. Took a long time to get a room, went up to it and it hadn’t been cleaned. Went back to reception, given another room, same problem. On the third attempt I actually got a clean/ready one. Hotel needs air conditioning as having windows open is noisy

I booked a stay at a&o Hamburg City through Expedia, but my experience was beyond disappointing. From the moment I arrived, multiple issues made it impossible to stay: Hidden Charges: I was forced to pay €10 for clean towels and bedding, which should be standard and was not disclosed during booking. Overbooked & No Bed Available: My assigned room was packed, leaving me without a place to sleep. Filthy Alternative Room: The replacement room was dirty and clearly uninhabitable. No Help from Staff: When I requested a single room, they refused, blaming Expedia for the booking restrictions. Ultimately, I had to cancel my stay entirely because the hostel failed to provide even basic accommodations. Avoid this place if you expect cleanliness, honesty, or decent service. To Expedia: I expect a full refund for this booking, as the property misrepresented its services.
