Capsule Hotel Nyhavn63
This property is best suited for budget travellers prioritising a central location and social atmosphere over comfort and quiet. Be prepared for a basic capsule experience with notable drawbacks in ventilation and noise.
Capsule Hotel Nyhavn63 offers a central Copenhagen base for budget-conscious travellers, located conveniently close to major attractions and public transport. Guests sleep in enclosed pods, which provide a degree of personal space, though ventilation within these units is frequently cited as a problem, with many finding them stuffy and hot. Noise isolation is also a significant concern, with thin walls and noisy doors often disturbing sleep. Shared bathroom facilities are available, but their limited number and lack of complimentary toiletries can lead to queues and inconvenience. While staff are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, and the location is a major draw, the property struggles with fundamental comfort issues inherent to its capsule design and shared amenities.

Noise & sleep
Noise is a significant issue, with guests complaining about thin walls, audible neighbours, and the unbearable noise of doors. Early morning noise from other guests is also a recurring problem, indicating poor soundproofing within the capsule rooms.
“the noise of the doors is unbearable, no towels for free, no soap within the showers, too hot inside the capsules”
“No soundproof walls, you can hear your neighbors next and above you”
“Other guests being noisy at early hours in the morning. Room only had 1 toilet for quite a few people staying there.”
Pod comfort
Guests frequently report that the pods are stuffy and hot, with inadequate ventilation and fans that do not work effectively. Some resorted to keeping pod doors ajar for air circulation. There is also a lack of space inside the pods for luggage.
“I didn’t like the pods. Nowhere to leave your bag. Had to have it in the pod. Really stuffy at night even with the fan on”
“The air was stuffy in the capsule which is to be expected but the fan inside was not working that well.”
“The only thing - the air get’s quite thin in the pod (the air circulation fan didn’t really help), so we ended up just keeping the doors ajar.”
Privacy
One review mentions the personal space afforded by the capsule design, but there is no further detail on privacy features like lockable pods or curtain types.
“It is a capsule so you have your own personal space!”
Cleanliness
The property is generally described as clean, including the capsules and rooms. Shared sanitary facilities are also noted as being cleaned daily and well-maintained.
“It was also very clean and inside it was not loud, check in was very easy and there is also free coffee. It is a capsule so you have your own personal space!”
“Our room was clean and comfortable.”
“The Capsule was comfortable and clean.”
Shared bathrooms
Shared bathrooms are a frequent point of complaint due to a limited number of toilets, leading to crowding and queues. Shower facilities are criticised for poor water pressure, lack of hangers, and absence of complimentary toiletries like shower gel and towels (which must be rented).
“The bathroom was spacious but not enough hangers for your stuff and the shower head was quite bad therefore the water pressure was also not as great.”
“The only minor drawback was the limited number of toilets. On the first floor, there are only three toilets available for around five private rooms and a large number of dormitory guests.”
“There’s no shower gel and you need to rent a towel on the reception (it costs around 3 eur). There was only one mirror in a communal area and it was very small.”
Luggage storage
Luggage storage is problematic, with guests noting a lack of space for bags inside the pods and a general need for lockers. There are also complaints about being charged for bag storage before check-in.
“Nowhere to leave your bag. Had to have it in the pod.”
“Needs some lockers for luggage and personal stuff, but still great experience being here. Perfect location”
“They charged me for bag storage”
Staff & check-in
The staff are consistently praised for being friendly, helpful, and accommodating, with specific mentions of individuals like Alin providing excellent service and recommendations.
“Friendly staff.”
“Staff were very friendly and helpful!”
“Staff were lovely- Alin in particular made our stay so nice. He was very kind and accommodating, made us very comfortable. Thank you!”
Location & access
The location is consistently highlighted as excellent, being very central and close to tourist attractions, shops, cafes, and public transport (bus and metro stations), making it easy to explore the city on foot.
“It was closer to all the tourists cites, so that was really helpful.”
“Location was amazing”
“The location is great, you can reach most main attractions by foot or/and there are various bus and metro stations near.”
Atmosphere
The atmosphere seems to be conducive to meeting other travellers, with some guests enjoying the social aspect. However, this can also lead to noise issues from 'party guests' in adjacent pods or rooms.
“It was really good we met some nice people along our journey.”
“For weekend its good place, you can meet interesting people there”
“My stay at the Capsule Hotel Nyhavn63 was great, the location is perfect. It was a bit loud though, but I suppose it depends on the other guests staying in. I had some party guests in the next room.”
Value for money
Many guests consider the property to offer good value for money, especially given its central location. However, some find it a bit expensive, particularly with additional charges for services like luggage storage.
“Overall, this hostel offers great value for money and is an excellent choice for travelers who want to spend their days exploring the city and return in the evening for a relaxed drink at the bar.”
“Very good accommodation for such price and location.”
“It was a bit expensive and the WC was very far from the dorms. I didn’t like that I had to pay for leaving my things during the day, before the check in. Should be free.”
The honest drawbacks, from guests.
- poor pod ventilation
- significant noise issues
- limited and poorly equipped shared bathrooms
- no free luggage storage
