Basic affordable comfort, but really far from the center of the city with few public transportation options and no shopping or eating venue in the vicinity. The offer of breakfast at the sister hostel near the station is not bad, but so far...

Não voltaríamos

Foi uma experiência muito ruim. Chegamos, eu e minha esposa, a cama estava desforrada, era extremamente mole, e os travesseiros péssimos. O banheiro, apesar de ser na porta do quarto e não termos visto ou ouvido mais no ninguém no hostel, estava sujo, o ralo aberto, e molhava todo quando tomávamos banho. As únicas coisas boas que achamos foram a localização, perto do centro e fácil para caminhar até lá (mais ou menos 15min), e a disponibilidade de estacionamento na porta

Helt okej och rent och prydligt, men tyvärr drar sängen och kuddarna ned betyget. Och rätt lyhört, jag hörde personen i rummet intill snarka hela natten.

Basic vandrarhem som uppfyller kraven för ett enklare boende, rena och fräscha rum men toalett och dusch skulle behöva en uppfräschning inom en snar framtid. Lugnt område och tysta rum, nära och bra till vårat ändamål.

Lite orolg att det saknades reception men gästerna var okej, lugnt tyst och rent även i gemensamt kök. Ventilationen i duschen det enda dåliga, alla lämnade dörren på vid gavel efteråt. Enkla basvaror i en liten affär i områder, Myway.

Bra budgetalternativ i Uppsala

Mycket bra vandrarhem med välutrustat kök. Enda problemet är att duschblandaren i vår korridor behöver bytas ut - den ger bara ljummet vatten. I övrigt mkt bra!

Ta hand om kylskåpen!

Enkelt boende som är OK för en eller ett par nätter om man bara behöver någonstans att sova. Allt var till belåtenhet utom skötseln av kylskåpen i köket. Anslaget att all mat som inte var märkt med namn och rumsnummer plockades bort. Nu var de överfulla med mat och inget var märkt och det luktade inte trevligt.
