The hostel had a comfortable feel to it. The 15 mins tram ride from the train station was a nice ride where you could see some of the sights to be seen. The kitchen was spacious n opened for long hours. Other guests were co-operative in keeping the kitchen clean n tidy. Check in n out were easy enough.

Great hostel, comfy dorms close to transport links

Really easy to find right next to the tram stop. The dorm rooms were great, the bunks built in so no wobbling, and each with a curtain across for privacy, individual reading lights and sockets. Ladder was a little uncomfortable/fiddly. The option to rent sheets/towel is good, but not obligatory. Check-in is via key-pad & lock-box but very simple and easy to use. I was able to drop my luggage off ahead of check-in and also leave my luggage during the day after checkout. The lounge and balcony were a nice area to sit in in the evening. I didn't use the kitchen but it seemed well equipped. Communal toilets and showers were clean and only had to queue once. One of the best hostels I've stayed in for a while.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The pay-to-have-a-sheet was lowly. Just include it in the price. Do not do underhanded tactics like extra costs, it just gives a bad taste in the mouth. Hence, the low rating. The floor of the room was very dirty, like someone walked in with muddy boots. It was more a surprise than a problem. The placement of the hostel is good. The staff was great. I would try it again as both issues can and should be solved.

Boendet var lätt tillgängligt. Enkelt att ta till sig information och att känna sig självständig. Att få tillgång till kök, balkong och en bra frukost i början på dagen. Ett bra bemötande av all personal. Området är lungt och lätt att ta si till hav och centrum. Bästa slottskogen och botaniska trädgården.

Helt ok 👍

Superbra läge med trevlig omgivning. Gott om restauranger i olika prisklass och lokaltrafiken direkt utanför dörren. Sköna sängar. - störande trafikbuller och rumsdörrar som går igen med en smäll. Mitt rum vette mot väster med stekande sol fram tills sent, så det blev väldigt varmt.

Det är slitage, och folk som inte spolar efter sig men detta är ju inte hotellet som är fel. Som vilken backpackers hotell och camping som helst. Dom städar varje dag och det är väldigt bra ställe. Inget fel på själv personalen och hotellet i sig. Frukost helt okej. Sen att människor....inte deras fel. Så jag rekommenderar detta helt klart. Och hon i receptionen hur söt och go som helst med solskens leende. Väldigt bra ställe Stark 5

Mycket bra service. Sängarna lite väl mjuka. Rent och snyggt. Förutom duscharna där det låg hårtussar kvar vid golvbrunnen. Skulle finnas nåt papper så man kunde ta upp efter sig. Samt en liten hylla, som det finns på toaletterna. Annars var vi väldigt nöjda.
