My overall feedback is that the hostel is perfect for short trips. Of course the shared rooms are not too large, but if you are like me, then you will stay there only for sleeping. Beds are comfortable. The kitchen is clean and big. They clean the common places everyday. The staff is excellent. I met like 4-5 different receptionist, all of them were super nice and helpful. Especially Thorbjörn, you are the best, thank you for the late night chat and recommendations. :) Free sauna time is a huge advantage, also the location ( Slottsskogen is nearby). Breakfast is various and they offer it for a reasonable price. To sum this up, thank you for making my Gothenburg trip even better.

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.

All hostels in Gothenburg

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.
