The only annoying things was the WIFI didn't work and cost me a bit extra in roaming charges from my own network. Other than that, it was great.

Dorm beds had excellent curtains for blocking out the light while the lights were still on in the room. Also had outlets and lights for power too so you could read in bed.

Very modern rooms and facilities with a great atmosphere. Their breakfast are very good and provide enough food to be full until lunch.

The WiFi could use some repeaters to strengthen the signal as it was pretty weak and kept dropping in the All Male dormitory.

I only stayed here for one night on a short stop over in Gothenburg. There were plenty of toilets and showers and a nice kitchen and sitting area. Would definitely stay there again

I really liked the hostel, the way the rooms are designed and the feeling u get while walking tru the corridores of the hostel, felt like i was in ferry...! hahahahha The room was clean and was exactly what I paid for. Toilet n bathrooms were clean, the girl at the desk was nice and cute and had a nice smile and was friendly... all good.

Backpackers was fantastic. I was in the dorms across from the reception building and the atmosphere was great; small enough to foster interaction with a cozy common area, great kitchen, individual showers, and lights and curtains for the bunks. The location, on first arrival, was a bit intimidating. It is quite a ways from downtown, but walk-able. Though with the tram system, getting anywhere is easy and you'll learn your way. Also, there are shops, cafes, and a system bolaget close by.
