Big dorm with 12 beds was really noisy, unfortunately there were no other dorms available. I did nit felt comfortable as well as during my stay a camera was stolen and people from outside the hostel were walking in side out because they had a friend who slept there.

Not a backpackers, more like a budget hotel. Most other guests were on business or there for functions, very few if any are fellow backpackers. Lacks atmosphere. On the other hand, breakfast is excellent, wide variety of healthy choices available and even though a little far from town trams run 24/7 and nearest the station is 100 metres away.

The hostel is really cozy, clean and well-located. In many aspects the hostel is worthy that you may not expect before arrival but I really liked it and highly recommend it to others!

Plus: Good beds, nice madrasses. Cozy kitchen (house2) Wonderful bathrooms, able to shower without water all over,, and there are enough bathrooms. Friendly staff. Minus: The metal lockers under the bed,,makes lot's of noice in the night every time someone tries to open them. Tv in the small sitting area, no place to somehow withdraw have a more quiet contact with people. The light ouside the female dorm,, should be dimmed in the night, it's disturbing for the people who sleeps in front.

This hostel had probably the friendliest staff I have ever encountered at a hostel, as well as a very large, clean common area and kitchen. The location, while not exactly central Gothenburg, was still good because it was located right by a tram stop and there were many good restaurants and shops in the vicinity. My only complaint was that the beds were a bit hard. I will probably try to stay here again the next time I visit Gothenburg.

It's a great hostel! People at the receptions are super-kind! Rooms are very clean, as well as showers! Common area is big and nice (there is even a pool table!). The position is excelent, well linked by tram (and you can reach Andra Långgatan in a while just by walking). The "ekologisk" breakfast is a little bit expensive but it's a good value-for-money as it's delicious and healthy! PC are for free, new and fast.

I think would be recommendable to make some kind of appointments in the evenings to meet and hang out with people from the hostel!

We were in the 12 female bedroom. It was really big, beds were comfortable, and everything was clean. Really big kitchen, and clean bathrooms. Well connected to the centre by tram (they run also during the night) or 20 mins walking. I would definitely recomend this hostel to everyone.

Everything was good in this hostel, except that there are too many people in dorms. I have been in a male dorm that had 16 beds. It was very uncomfortable to be silent when some people were sleeping.
