I come at the same hostel for five, maybe six years. I like the location, the price, how close it's to the ferry and the city. Always clean (especially the rooms).

The room I booked was clean and quite and had a private bathroom. I was able to rent the bed sheets and park for free. I did not try the breakfast, as I only stayed for 1 night.

For that price I was afraid there would be too much compromises. But the only drawback for low price was a toilet/shower located outside of room (lot of them available in common area) and also maybe room size (really tiny). But if you are outside whole day and only need place to sleep and place to eat your own food - nothing is missing here for that purpose.

The location is excellent, close to tram, and the ambient is so cozy! Nature and fairy lights everywhere! The place is mostly quiet, the room is tiny but functional, there is a kitchen also if anyone needs. The heating was also excellent.

The staff was amazing. The gentleman on the reception desk was really friendly, gave us some tips where to go and what to see. The hostel is 3 - 4 tram stops away from the central bus/train station, which makes reaching the very centre of the city easy for the tourists. The kitchen was spacy and there was room for everyone, who wanted to cook a little something for dinner.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
