    Parking lot that is to close to rode, the camera in kitchen makes it feel verry uncomfortable. Too big signs (how to use things) are killing the vibe and you feel quite awkward and controlled in any step.

    I like the possibilitynof late check in. I liked verry clean nice rooms, cozy and warm.

    Keep in mind it's uphill, in case you are a walk-in guest. Walls are really thin so any water usage or talking next door is loud.

    Location is amazing, on Norra Berget hill overlooking the city (a viewing tower is just 5 minutes away). Room is spacious and tidy, with a private sink. Shared kitchen is well fitted. There's cleaning material and very precise recycling bins to help clean and sort waste. Staff was helpful and friendly ☺

    No one could get the stove to work- despite activating the timer. No staff around after 7pm to report to.

    Great location with nice walks down into town and around the hilltop. Good parking and easy to find. Room clean and quiet.

    The cabins attract a mixture of guests. In addition to family's and retiree's you also have a touch of what is equivalent to trailer trash in the US. Semi-drunk and unfriendly groups.

    The cabin is really nice. The open air museum next to you is one of the nicest to.

    The walk up there was exhausting especially with the luggage. Would probably book a taxi next time.

    Very nice location once you are up there. Staff was very helpful und the rooms and common areas were clean.

    Kitchen was dirty. People kept slamming the doors till very late at night which makes sleeping difficult.

    Beautiful Location, dog friendly. It feels like a vacation in nature, but is still very close to the city centre.

    The sound insulation was a bit bad, we could hear the steps and doors closing loudly but luckily during the night it was really quiet and we had no problem sleeping.

    We stayed 1 night on our way to the north. Really good value for money. The place was clean (we stayed in much more expensive places that were not nearly as clean). Since we stayed in the 2 beds room, we had private shower and that was really clean. The bedrooms with more beds seem to share bathrooms and toilets, but those also seemed quite clean. Location is great if you have a car (also has free parking on premises), I don't know how convenient the locationt is with public transportation though. If you are searching for luxury, different facilities and room service, this is not the place. But if you just need a nice and clean place to stay, that doesn't cost a fortune, I recommend this place.

    Too bad the bed linens are not included, for one night the 110 SEK/kit linens+towels kit adds up to the total price quite drastically

    Nice area around woods and walking paths, only 3min away by car from the closest shop. Clean rooms, separate toilet from shower in our room. Great shared kitchen with big fridges and freezer, all needed cooking tools and sitting area. Friendly staff. Free parking on spot with shadow possibilities. Outdoor picnic tables by the trees.

    Considering value for money, it is a great place to stay. There were common kitchen and common bathrooms, but those were always clean enough. Free parking next to the place to stay. A tower to watch the whole town, just few hundred meters away from the Vandrarhem, which is also very close to the city centre. But still, it is within nature, and children have a place to play outside the house.

    Access to reception (door was closed we needed to call the person to enter ).

    We had a room with bathroom in one of the few wooden houses located in the forest, on the hill with nice view on the city. Room was small but nice, with shower. Kitchen very well equipped , big, with many tables. Wooden tables were also available outside.

    The location is really not ideal: you have to walk 20 minutes uphill from the city center. There was only one laundry machine for the whole hotel and it was not enough: I had to stay up until midnight to do my laundry.

    Cheap and with several commodities.
