This was my second time here. I liked everything! I booked the bed for two nights in the dormitory room and I got lucky, because there wasn’t anybody. All room was for me. I have been in other dormitory type hostels and usually there are not space for backpack or even luggage. But in this hostel the dormitory room is spacious. There is place where to put the luggage. Reception is not 24/7, but they send you a message with understandable information how to get in the room.

It was really good value for a budget... We came after the check-in time due to flight delay, and we had great communication with owner.. It was just a few minutes from the city centre and you could walk there fairly quickly from the Nils Ericson central station, or take a tram just acros the bridge to get there... It was really clean, and It was equipped with all you need... ..

The lady at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful. The room and common areas were clean, well-maintained and the kitchen area was very cosy. The location is also perfect close to the E6. We booked also a parking spot that is nearby. Highly recommended!

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.
