If you fancy staying somewhere that has a spaceship-like feel, minus the inconvenience of travelling through space, this quirky hotel is for you.<\/p>\n
At CityHub in Copenhagen – a cross between a hostel and a hotel – guests sleep in Tetris-style L-shaped pods.<\/p>\n
At first sight, they look claustrophobic, but are, in fact, surprisingly spacious, with enough space inside to fit two adults and luggage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The pods are L-shaped, reveals Carina – Tetris-style hotel rooms<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, they\u2019re warm and, despite their compact size, almost eerily quiet.<\/p>\n
Inside awaits a comfy king-sized bed, two shelves, charging ports, a Bluetooth speaker, enough room to stand up in \u2013 and a distorted mirror.<\/p>\n
On arrival, guests use a self-serve check-in system and receive a wristband as a key.<\/p>\n

On arrival guests use a self-serve check-in system and receive a wristband as a key. ‘Dancing LED lights welcome you into the pod, as if you\u2019re stepping into a disco,’ explains Carina (right)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The hotel is located 1.3km from Tivoli Gardens and is within walking distance of lively bars and restaurants<\/p>\n

Travellers can help themselves to beer and wine at the self-serve bar, then relax in a chill zone.<\/p>\n
But solo travellers hoping to meet like-minded individuals should know that social activities are non-existent and others keep to themselves in the communal areas.<\/p>\n
With more than 8,800 reviews on Booking.com and an average score of nine out of ten, it\u2019s easy to see why CityHub is a popular choice for travellers.<\/p>\n
But is it worth paying \u00a3219 per night – and is there really enough space for two people?<\/p>\n
There is, but the room may feel cramped for two tall people.<\/p>\n

However, CityHub is a memorably quirky experience, with fantastic service from friendly staff and a convenient location just 1.3km (0.8 miles) from Tivoli Gardens and within walking distance of lively bars and restaurants. So all in all, I\u2019d say the price represents good value.<\/p>\n
