A bargain at what cost? Cabinn Metro was the location of my final evening's sojourn in Copenhagen. Off the employer dime, I wanted something cheaper, which is what I got in terms of cost and quality.
First off the LOCATION is poor. You're quite a ways outside of the center near the Ørestad metro stop. From here it's at least a 10 minute walk to the hotel which at night feels especially isolated with no open businesses and no foot traffic. If I were a woman traveling alone, this walk might give me pause. It is convenient to the airport if that's your next destination (take the train, not the metro).
The CHECK-IN experience is abysmal. There's a take-a-number device, oh my. The tableau of tired, angry looking travelers sitting everywhere around the lounge waiting for the grossly understaffed check-in to serve them is pretty depressing. Not a good start.
The ROOM is quite small, bigger than a Japanese capsule, but really otherwise tiny. I will say that they did a pretty good job with the layout and functionality of the room space itself....as good as can be expected for a small space. Ventilation, though, was quite poor. There's no air conditioning or fan, just a small window. It was rather cool outside when I was there, and the inside was almost unbearably hot and stuffy...especially after a shower.
The BATHROOM is a joke...absolutely tiny...my bathtub at home is bigger than the entire bathroom. The shower is built into the ceiling above the sink. You could shower while sitting on the toilet if you wanted to. Of course, it turns into a giant wet puddle for the foreseeable future due the aforementioned lack of ventilation.
The NOISE is bad. The staff seem to have no interest in curbing partying, even if it's happening outside with Arabic rap being played at a loud volume at 4 AM. You can also hear lots of interior noise.
Wi-Fi cuts in and out...sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes nothing at all.
Overall, this is a low-budget accommodation but I'm not sure I even got that low budget's worth of value. It's pretty bad. The only reason it gets 2 stars instead of 1 is that they never tried to sell it as anything nice.
