Delightful hostel with friendly staff- clean rooms, nice common area- walking distance to central station, near bus route and shopping areas. Reception opens at 9 am in case you arrive as we did on an early train - so just had to chill a bit. Lots of friendly guests - would stay there again

The accommodation was fairly comfortable, however checking out was made a bit difficult when the keycode changed the day i was leaving and was a little effort trying to leave. The doors can be noisy aswell as when people are leaving and entering when trying to sleep along with metal bed frames whwre you can hear every time somebody is turning over. The accommodation is catered for large amount of travellers, so would recommend if you're with a group or up for socialising.

I can't really find the right words at the moment. I have been travelling and staying in hostels around the world for over 15 years. I have never experienced negative and sarcasm from any hostel front of house reception staff before. I don't fully understand why this hostel gets such good ratings and reviews. There are only a couple of good things that I can say. Its walking distance from the train station and old town and the cleaning staff are friendly and are trying there best to keep an old run down building clean. The hostel is a maze of corridors and levels. The hostel gives you a map of the hostel which is useless. Its the hardest place to navigate through. You have to feel sorry for the guests who are stuck in the rooms located in the basement. There is no natural light or fresh air. The hostel has so many heavy doors which requires you to enter a different access code for most of them. It seems to be a complete waste of time. I don't understand the heavy security. The bathrooms and toilets could do with an upgrade. Overall its a disappointing place of accommodation to stay when visiting Sweden. I did meet some very friendly and switched on travelers staying there which made me feel like staying for the 2 nights that I'd paid for. Otherwise I probably would have left the hostel early. The hostel definitely needs a heavier local Swedish staff presence. Stay around the corner at the Generator hostel.

The hostel was clean, safe, and in a very convenient location for both walking and public transportation. My biggest complaint was that the check in process could have been smoother. I personally didn’t have issues, but one of my roommates checked in at 10pm and didn’t have linens. By the time he was able get in touch with staff & get linens, it was 11:30pm and him trying to put his sheets on his bed was a big disturbance to everyone in the room. Many people who checked in at night were confused and had trouble finding things. Another one of my roommates checked in during the day, was explicitly told to come to that particular room and was given an access code for that room, and had settled in for a few hours before a staff member abruptly came in and asked if everyone there was in the right room. They realized they had assigned her to the wrong room, and made her collect all her things and move to a different room. The staff told her “It happens so no worries. It’s not your fault” as if she had done something wrong, and didn’t bother apologizing at all for the mistake he clearly made or for the disturbance it caused her. My roommate was too nice to complain but I was pretty displeased by the service. Last thing I would say is that it’s not a quiet place. Things are noisy on the street and within the hostel. The walls were VERY thin. Didn’t bother me much but it certainly bothered some other people there.

The hostel suits for 20-30 years old. The foods desappeared from frigo. Some kind of descrimination of older travellers. No respect for silence at late evening and night.

Outstanding staff!
I arrived after hours, although the booking said the desk was open until midnight. I hadn’t received an email with check in stipulations, so I ended up going to another hostel. When I arrived the next morning, the staff were excellent and took care of me right away, securing my refund as well. Take care when booking in this part of the world, as a 24 hour staff is not the norm. This site did not provide my email to the hostel, so the disconnect caused the issue. Still a great hostel with lots of character and outstanding staff. Thank you!

Do NOT waste your money and safty on this place.
Terrible place. DO NOT STAY HERE. Problems: 1. Dirty - it doesn't look THAT bad. But every single pillow, mattress and cover is FULL of dust. I know because after choking from the ones in my room i actually looked around for a bed to sleep at, hoping the ones at the common area get cleaned. I dont have dust allergy but if you have asthma you might actually choke. 2. Overly soft mattress - I learned that in Sweden most mattress are on the softer side but the ones in the room weren't suitable for sleeping on. My friend and I are in our 20s while writing this and we both woke up with back pain. 3. Safty Hazzard - so after the entrance you need to take your shoes off. But it's too cold so you must wear socks BUT, most floors are covered with an easy to clean flooring which is rather slippery. The first time i managed to balance myself. Second, i tumbled on some stairs and there are no railings, so i didn't have anything to catch. 4. Too expensive for such an abysmal place. 5. The bar next to them which they recommend and work with is just as bad just in different way. The good: 1. Close and easy to get to from the central station.
