The beds are just fine for a few nights there, the kitchen is big and well equipped, and the room is also okay, nothing too special. The staff was friendly and helpful.

I had a great time at the hostel. Rooms and bathrooms/toilets are really clean and neat. Nice decoration. Rooms are nice, and I appreciate the fact that every bed has its own curtain to give more privacy.

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.

Overall, it was very good for the price we paid. The hostel is clean, beds are confort, and the room without the window has one small window that is facing the street, so this is perfect for just sleep and go. I had ear plugs, but I haven't used them. This is not a typical hostel where you will meet other travellers. in contrast, other people who were staying while I was there had no etiquette at all. I was so surprised to see the dirty dishes every night, dirty toilets after use, refrigerator full of food with no marked room. Of course, everything was cleaned in the morning, but other guests were acting like their mommy is there to clean after them... I'm guessing that the quality of your stay will highly depend on people that's are the in hostel at the same time as you.

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.
