Great hostel, comfy dorms close to transport links

Really easy to find right next to the tram stop. The dorm rooms were great, the bunks built in so no wobbling, and each with a curtain across for privacy, individual reading lights and sockets. Ladder was a little uncomfortable/fiddly.
The option to rent sheets/towel is good, but not obligatory.
Check-in is via key-pad & lock-box but very simple and easy to use. I was able to drop my luggage off ahead of check-in and also leave my luggage during the day after checkout.
The lounge and balcony were a nice area to sit in in the evening. I didn't use the kitchen but it seemed well equipped. Communal toilets and showers were clean and only had to queue once.
One of the best hostels I've stayed in for a while.

The hostel had a comfortable feel to it. The 15 mins tram ride from the train station was a nice ride where you could see some of the sights to be seen. The kitchen was spacious n opened for long hours. Other guests were co-operative in keeping the kitchen clean n tidy. Check in n out were easy enough.

Really nice hostel, more like a hotel. Beds were super comfortable and rooms were a decent size. One of the best hostel kitchens I’ve seen, although maybe a bit small if the hostel was full. The bathrooms were nice and clean, there are separate toilet/sink and shower rooms. Location is convinient and near a tram stop. Only negative for me was that the room doors closed super loudly.

The hotel/hostel itself is lovely, very comfortable and quite upmarket for the price. Bit of a distance to a lot of the main city centre, (around 40 mins walk from station) however the area of Haga nearby has some lovely restaurants and cafes. Would recommend if you enjoy walking or if you are confident getting the tram (tram station right across the road)

Waste of my money. Awful stay run by liars.

After booking and paying for a private double room, the room we were given was a 4 bed, bunk bed room! The owners said that the private rooms were full, but we were put in there on our own so it was still \"private\" so we had to pay the same amount as the double room (which had a TV whereas our bunk room did not). The WiFi was essentially non-existent. The owners were never there apart from when we checked in and checked out. There was no air conditioning which isn't a big deal if you can open windows, which you can't here, so the rooms are extremely hot. Also when we arrived we were greeted with an extra 156kr we were not told was needed to be spent in order to buy BED LINENS and towels. There was also no question of how the stay was when we left. All in all. I would not stay here again.

The nearby tram and bus stop will allow you to get anywhere in the city with ease. The hostel is quiet, clean and comfortable. The kitchen facilities are practical and adequate.

Happy Stay

Before going had read reviews and the hostel was exactly as described. It was clean reasonably priced. Sheets and breakfast were extra.If your'e not travelling Ryan air then not a problem to bring your own.Breakfast was typically continental it was adequate but should be ordered in advance. Showers spotlessly clean and never had to wait. I would highly recommend this hostel, it is in a very safe part of the city. Beautiful park close by. Thanks for a great stay.

Clean, convenient and comfortable stay had by myself and three friends. The man at reception was possibly the nicest I have ever encountered and very helpful. Beds really comfy, shared bathrooms clean and breakfast basic but sufficient and convenient. For a low cost trip to a gray city I dint think you could do any better. The walk to the centre/bars is safe, easy and about 15-25 minutes depending on route.

We booked a standard quadruple room for 2 of us. When we arrived there was no problem adding our daughter to the booking. They came and made up the sofa bed for her. The room was lovely with views over the park. The balcony was too cold to use but added to the look of the room and made a good fridge. There wasn't any storage in the room other than 3 hooks but when we asked for a hanger, they brought up a hanging rail and hangers. I had previously been put off booking this hotel because of the shared bathrooms, however it really wasn't an issue, there were plenty of toilets and showers on each floor all of which were clean. The hotel was very quiet and we hardly noticed the other guests in the hotel.
At breakfast I asked if the muesli contained nuts, which it did. The next day they provided a special nut free muesli for me and soya milk and yoghurt for my husband. The staff were all very helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble.
We definitely plan to stay at this hotel again when we are in Gothenburg .

Great place to stay for a night

The hostel was in a great location in a cute neighbourhood with plenty of bars and coffee shops, and maybe a 30 minute walk at most to the centre of Gothenburg. The room itself was basic but clean and modern, and the kitchen was well equipped too. My only criticism was the room got so hot (there were 3 of us in the room in total) that I woke up several times in the night feeling uncomfortable. Maybe because they were blasting the heat due to terrible Swedish weather! Apart from that everything else was great, my first stay in a hostel so this place has set the bar high!

Nice, clean hotel (1,5 y old). Nice, attentive, friendly staff. Lovely neighborhood.
The only downside was the fact that there was no bathroom in the hotel room, they were shared between all rooms. However, I can see why that solution was chosen, the re-build would have been very costly otherwise

More hotel than hostel, and very roomy :-)

I had a private room which was large, bright and with lots of room, not like most hotels where the desk almost touches the bed. The whole place was simply, clean, spacious and bright. The kitchen very organized, the toilets and showers clean and only a few steps outside the room, and the breakfast buffet fresh and with a nice selection. Wifi was good morning and afternoon, but slowed to uselessness in the evening.
One downside was the there wasn't a 24h reception, or even 12h reception as the staff go for lunch/break ca 13-15h, but there was a number so you could call anytime. A second temporary downside was the renovation of the building (not inside the hotel), with drilling and hammering all day and, on the night I was there, long into the evening too. However, the staff did have words with the builders as this was apparently not allowed, so hopefully other guests won't suffer the same noise.

great value for money, friendly staff

Needed a place to stay on short notice and found this hostel. The staff is super nice, reason for not higher rating is that, well, it's a hostel, where you have to bring your own sheets and towels (they rent them for you for an additional fee) - Scandinavian way I guess. Sharing bathrooms also an interesting part. But overall a good experience.

A great start to the new years!

We stayed in a 6 person room for three nights. The cost was very low, which led us to a little doubt when we were on our way. The only bad thing I can say about the place was it's a bit far from the town centre, around 20 minutes walk.

The hostel itself was completely modern, extremely clean and well kept. Despite being shared facilities the shower rooms and toilets were also very clean.

The staff were very friendly, and very helpful. Anything we needed they were on hand to help.

It is all very very basic, however at the price I could never complain.

For check in you must arrive before 7 as there are no staff on hand overnight, we were incredibly close to missing them!!

Overall very pleased with our stay!

Vi bodde i ett standardrum som var helt okej!
Bekväma sängar och förvånansvärt lugnt utanför på gatan. Vi sov bra här.
Uppskattar närheten till Slottsskogen. Bra frukost som ingick. Jättetrevlig personal!
Stor bonus för den inglasade balkongen på vårt rum, hade varit ännu större bonus om fönstren hade varit rengjorda där. Vi promenerade in till Liseberg på 40 min och det finns många bra närliggande restauranger och barer.

De gemensamma toaletterna på Vandrarhemmet är helt okej och dagligen städning i alla gemensamma utrymmen. Men duscharna är dåligt ventilerade och det är troligen orsaken till att det är svartmögel i fogarna och taket, så det är inte hälsosamt att duscha där ofta.

Duschdraperier upplevs inte heller som så hygieniska, tror ej dom byts och tvättas dagligen. Hade varit mer hygieniskt och lättstädat med duschväggar.
I det gemensamma köket var köksluckorna rätt fula och kylskåpet luktade lite illa men det var rent och undanplockat i köket.
Vi lånade glas och bestick och åt på balkongen på rummet.

Vi hoppas att dusch och kök fått sig en uppfräschning innan nästa besök i Göteborg.
