    The rooms are rather small.you probably want to spend a night a two and nothing more unless you booked it as a hotel.

    - Great location - Very Close to all the important shop. Beer of course 😜 - Breakfast is also very affordable and nice

    Clean place, comfortable and sturdy beds, no noise and clean bathrooms with good showers. . Employees were really nice and helpfull. The location is great, next to a huge park and close to the best places for night life. The organized karaoke and pub crawl were a great way to meet new people!

    Everything was very clean. A lot of showers, didn't have to wait in line for one. Staff was nice. I liked that there is a place to put small personal belongings and charge my phone right by the bed. A bit far from the center if you want to walk, but everything is easily accessible by public transport. A nice, big park a few minutes from the hostel. The only disappointment for me was that I expected a small hostel with a few rooms and a really social-backpacker-party kind of vibe. In reality it is the biggest hostel I've seen with long hallways and many rooms, everything was very quiet, more older people and families with kids than young backpackers. But overall good for a few nights and one of the cheapest options in the city.

    A comfy hostel with lovely staff, close to the Slottsskogen park, for an OK price.

    The rooms were quite comfortable, however even when the room was not full (6 out of 8 occupied beds), the A/C did not work the best and the air became stale during the night. We had to open the windows, which face the busy noisy street.

    I especially enjoyed having a sauna in price, tho the timing of the sauna was off for me. The time window for men was 6-7, but that is around the time I usually have diner, thus I had to compromise on one or the other. The shared kitchen was clean and fully stocked with pots, pans, plates - a big thumbs up! Bring a padlock for the personal cabinet under the bunkbeds, bigger luggage is safe in the luggage room.

    There was very little information from staff when checking in: just pay and here is the key. I found out when leaving that there were saunas etc A little bit more introduction would be nice. There was nothing happening at the hostel during my stay, so there were no events to socialise with fellow travellers.

    Comfy beds, I liked the private bathrooms, it was a game changer. Great location, walking distance to Haga and city centre. One of my favourite hostels and cities.

    The public transport is a couple of minutes away from the hostel. On a usual day that wouldn't be a problem, but when I stayed the roads and ways were really slippery.

    The hostel offers comfortable and clean rooms. I really liked the lockers that you could lock with your key card.

    It was quite loud when I was there but that was due to some youth groups staying at the hostel. Probably due to that the common bathrooms were also a bit dirty sometimes in the evenings. But other than that great hostel!

    The room was quite nice and spacious enough. The common room and kitchen was big enough and had a lot of space for cooking and eating your meals. The sauna is definitely very nice to use, especially since it is included in the price. Very nice personel.

    There were a lot of kids and they were making a lot of noise, playing hokey and running in the corridors. Location is not so great but there are trams nearby.

    Staff were friendly and helpful, especially Peter. Bed was comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Sauna was great.

    The social vibe was a bit lacking, but it also made for a quieter stay if you are into that!

    The room was great and had great options for storage. The bathrooms were also all toilet + shower which was great - and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was a grocery store across the street!

    I didn't quite understand how to open/close the locker. Other girl had to help me out. Not very intuitive.

    Bed comfy and bathroom for one person only. Close to public transport. I liked breakfast, was amazed that excess of apples was left over reception desk for everybody to enjoy!

    N/A - everything was great!

    Lovely friendly staff. The 6-bunk room felt spacious, and had a large locker each (which locks using your room key). There was a shelf, plug socket, storage basket and lamp right next to each bed. The kitchen was big and well equipped. The dining area was also comfortable and nicely decorated. The hostel organised social activities every few days that you could join if you wanted to. There was a laundry service available for a charge, and a sauna that was free for 2 hours each day, but I didn't use either of these facilities. I also liked the neighbourhood, and being so close to the park, natural history museum and botanical gardens!
