I did not have enough time to find cozy accommodation with decent price when I decided to stop by Copenhagen on the trip back to Helsinki from London. Although the commodity prices are remarkably high in Copenhagen, I found an ideal hostel via Booking.com. All the information on the Internet showed that their interior was designed in a contemporary art style, the accommodation was pretty clean, and service there were tepid, but nice. In fact, I am going to stay at the same hostel in Copenhagen because of a meeting next month.

Most comments referenced a clean environment, a good location, nice employees, and a stylish interior design. According to a customer survey conducted by Trip Adviser (checked on April 12, 2016), 83.6% of customers evaluated the overall perceived value as “very good” or “good”; most of their customers speak highly of the hostel. During my stay at Generator Hostel, the overall interior design was comfortable and truly stylish, and the individual space was rather small, but really clean and cozy. However, no there was no refrigerator offered in the room, neither was there a kitchen in the shared space. The location is convenient. It costs 32 Danish Crowns to get from the airport to the hostel, and a one-way trip takes around 20 minutes. Also, people can rent a bicycle from the reception, it costs 100 Danish Crowns per day. They lent me a bicycle with bigger wheel diameter, which I wasn’t used to it at first, but finally found it a good idea - saving your energy for seeing the beautiful scenery around the city. Although located near the bar street, you will not be disturbed by the noise or bothered by the patrons. Employees in the hostel usually looked confident and were involved in their work. Of course, they were willing to help travelers.

All in all, I slept tightly during my stay there. The good location, clean environment, stylish interior design, and services offered are the components that made my trip in Copenhagen.
