    Very pleasant stay with everything you need
    • Leisure trip

    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The beds don't have curtains. It's in two different buildings which can be a bit inconvenient especially if it rains but nothing too serious. It's a bit pricey but it's Sweden so I guess it makes sense.

    The room was reasonably big with 4 beds. Socket, shelves and light near bed. Nice big lockers locked by room keycards. Kitchen is very well equipped and big. Everything was nice and clean. Staff was very kind and helpful. The sauna is a big unusual plus for a hostel.

    The top bunk bed was not well suited to a taller person and the hostel was on the expensive side. I discovered I had paid a lot more than some other guests.

    Great facilities and social atmosphere in the hostel, was able to do laundry with ease and met plenty of other solo travellers.

    Comfortable bed for a few nights

    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    If booked as a hostel, you are expected to make your own bed, and clean your room when you check out including stripping beds (fair enough), vacuuming, and taking out rubbish bags even when they aren't completely full. They come through every day to check and clean anyway but charge you extra if you don't clean up after yourself. Good incentive to be tidy but wastes a lot of rubbish bags and vacuuming when you're checking out of a room full of people is odd. Unfortunately seemed to frequently have no toilet paper in the shared toilet/shower stalls. Had a few people ask me to pass them some. Awkward shaped lockers that didn't shut well so only put my small backpack in there with a lock on my zips.

    Comfortable beds and super friendly staff. The sauna being free for parts of the day was awesome. The location is good, close to restaurants, tram and bus lines and easy to get into Haga or the Göteborg city from there. Breakfast was pretty decent, typical Scandinavian style. Lockers provided and ended up with a room upgrade. This hostel is sustainable so they've got lots of things in place to help the environment too. Great privacy and fall rails on the top bunks, bathroom and kitchen facilities.

    Bathrooms were hit and miss. If you were lucky to use after the cleaners, they were fine. If not, they weren't great.

    Very nice location. 10 minutes on tram from central station. Beautiful park and museum closeby. Nice buffet breakfast. Beautiful Italian restaurant down the street and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Supermarket and chemist on the same street.

    The bathroom could have been a little more clean. There is internet, but not secure, so working from there might be a problem for some.

    The hostel is very nice located, close to public transpot, a huge amazing park, and also 10-15 m walk from center. Bathrooms are great, a toilet and a shower in one place, so no need to share them. And they have many of them. So super comfy for a hostel. I had a private room, that was comfy, with a comfy bed. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Shared kitchen is big, well equipped. They have some events for people staying there, like pub crawls and so.. Washing and drying is possible and smooth, also saw ironing possibilities.

    The price is lower than average in the city, but still overpriced, considering you have to clean the room yourself before checkout, and bathrooms are shared. The bathrooms could have been cleaned a bit more often.

    There are many bathrooms with showers and we never had to wait to use them. The room was clean when we arrived and so were the common areas. The beds were comfortable, and all the essential stuff was present in the room. The room and rest of the areas were also well heated. Staff was very friendly.

    Since I arrived late, I asked if I could use the sauna on a different day for a small price, was told 100 kr, then when I arrive they asked me for 400 instead, even though they had written a note. All these years, I have been a returning customer. Unfortunate

    House 2 is a bit run down and one of the showers needs an upgrade.

    We stay here whenever we're dropping into Gothenburg, we've used both the hotel and the hostel, and it's just perfectly placed. It's neat, it's in a wonderful area, you can take the tram everywhere else.

    My room was in the second building which was a little confusing to get to. Once we figured it out all was well.

    The room was a good size for two people. There were outlets and lights by each of the beds which was great. The whole place was super clean and I appreciate their commitment to sustainability. The hostel is super close to a bus stop and a pretty good place in town. The staff was incredibly kind! I went on a bar crawl with a wonderful Finnish staff member (so sorry I forgot her name!). She was SO kind and made sure we were all safe, definitely the highlight of our hostel stay :)

    There were no sweet pastries at breakfast... I didn't expect this from a hostel in Sweden :D Please note that the hostel is located on a small hill - if it is difficult for you to climb up, you will need to find a workaround.

    Excellent staff, well-equipped shared kitchen, enough toilets and showers in the blocks. I stayed in a room with two beds - the room is small but well equipped, there is even a private hair dryer. The convenient location of the hostel is close to a grocery store, several cafes and restaurants and a public transport stop. You can also quickly walk to the Haga area and further to the center.

    Totally my fault for not expecting the place to be on a slope. Quite difficult to drag a large suitcase up that hill. Don't think it's made for a suitcase traveler (at least someone with one that is as large as mine).

    The overall facilities and services are surprisingly better than the price range.
