You have to basically navigate everything on your own. Do not expect a tour of the youth hostile but very much... go ahead and find your way. If you are used to this system then it works. It's very Swedish and you don't need to talk to anyone if you don't want to. However the hostile is very social and for the most part when you reach out and ask you get answers. The kitchen where they offered free pasta is the social spot.... a lot of gold gathered there and in the entrance of the youth hostile. The location is excellent. You can really get around the city well. They offered a very reasonable dinner special that was delicious. All in all most folks love this place... it's a great meeting place and if you want more warmth reach out and talk to people both Domestic and foreigners and you'll find a very friendly environment. At night a bit noisy but you can listen to music and that helps.... bring headphones!!!

The staff went over and above to accommodate. It was a very enjoyable stay.

Vibes are great, the only problem was the bed. It was uncomfortable. However, the rest of the hostel was great. Bathrooms, kitchen, floors, and the common room were clean.

All was good. Many rooms were at slightly different levels (2-12cm risers) and I stubbed by toes a lot. But I got used to where they were.

wifi signal is not good.

The rooms were great, loved the variety of showers, sinks, and toilet rooms. Great socializing room downstairs made it easy to make friends

Sauna was an amazing perk!

Nice cosy hostel where the staff were friendly in a good location within walking distance of the central station and old town. Found it to be very good value for money- make sure to read the details of the hostel as you do have to make your own bed up and hire towels separately in case those things are an issue for you. Found the room to be very quiet, clean, with a comfortable bed and was a good temperature. Lockers are a bit on the small side to fit a suitcase/larger bag but as there's plenty of floor space you can pop these out of the way. Attached bathroom was clean and showers were good- plenty of hot water and space for clothes etc. There is only 1 toilet which is inside one of the 2 shower rooms attached to the room but there is also another toilet just down the corridor and plenty of sink space so didn't cause any issues for us even with all the bunks occupied. Enjoyed the sauna and appreciated the map of the hostel given when checking in which made finding my room a lot easier. Decent wifi throughout too. I think there was also free pasta available but didn't personally try this. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

I booked a private room for 2 guests. And I would not recommend it to anyone. Pro: on Normalm district so it is close to most major attractions. Cons: the property is not worth the price they are charging, and here is why - 1. There are no lifts or ramps on the property making it inconvinient to carry your luggage. 2. There are codes for every entrance which keeps changing instead of a card system. 3. Rooms are extremely small with A. no ventilation B. very dimly lit C. No mirror to get ready 4. Although room details mentions bathroom, they are all common. 5. All showers are in basement and half of them are out of order. 6. Toilets don't have paper towels. Only an unhygienic cloth towel. 7. Showers don't have hooks to hang clothes or shelves to keep toiletries. Also, there is no shower gel or shampoo. 8. Stoves are switched off after 10 pm so you can't cook after that. 9. You have to remove shoes outside but they don't provide you bathroom slippers to wear on property. 10. Lastly, the luggage room is in basement which has narrow circular staircase and heavy doors making it dangerous to move luggage.

Not much privacy no curtains but good lockers and too many passcodes just to go to your room
