The rooms were very clean and well-maintained. There were plenty of bathrooms available, all spotless, which made things very convenient. The hostel also has a sauna, a fantastic bonus after a long day of sightseeing. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Another big advantage is it's great location.

super close to Slottsskogen, the the city's biggest park close to the city center rooms and the facility in general are very very clean good value for the money >> i think you can find such a clean, hotel-looking hostel only in the nordics: everything is clean, quiet, new and functioning, i highly recommend beds are comfortable, equipped with charging socket and lamp

I liked absolutely everything, the rooms are clean, the kitchen is clean, there is even coffee and tea for guests, there are towels in the room, even a hairdryer and clean bed linen. The rooms are very comfortable and it is not far to get to the center. The owner of the hotel is very nice, answered a late phone call, and once again explained how to get to the apartment.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Amazing hostel! So clean and well maintained! Lovely dorm and social area. The best hostel kitchen I’ve seen to date! Fantastic staff that were so friendly and welcoming. Comfy beds and modern interior throughout. Massive lockers. Lots of events hosted by the hostel and the information pack about Gothenburg was a wonderful addition! Tasty breakfast with a wide selection of food! Would definitely stay here again!

    Not the first time I stayed here, and perhaps not the last. Of course it's a simple hostel, situated in a historic building, yet it's charming, taken care of and with everything you need for a budget stay. Located a bit outside the city center, with a tram stop and shops just around the corner. STF Hostels are always a good option when in Sweden.

    Very clean, which certainly isn’t the case in all hostels! The dormitory room also had a lot of floor space which was nice. It’s a bit far from the centre of town but I think that’s actually a good thing, the hostel is in a really nice area so you see more of the ‘real’ Gothenburg, not just the tourist stuff.

    This accomodation was very clean and modern. Located in a very calm neighbourhood and only a few minutes from the bus stop, the location was more than satisfactory. Additionally, the rooms were clean and with a safety lockers and the kitchen well equipped. Compared to other hostels, this one had a lot of bathrooms and toilets so you did not have to wait to shower. The breakfast was tasty with a wide choice of food. The Hostel also offers the free walking tour and you can buy some souvenirs at the information desk.
