Hågadalens Hostel & Vandrarhem is located in Uppsala, right next to the Hågadalen - Nåstens Nature Reserve, and features comfortable, modern rooms with seating area and wooden floors. Uppsala Central Station is 6.2 km away and can be easily reached by bus.

We liked the kindness of the hostess very much We got the impression that every detail in this hostel has been thought out and designed with great care and elegance. If we - four pensioners - had any prejudices against hostels, staying in Uppsala dispelled them.

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.

    The owner and stuff were really helpful. We could store our bikes inside safely despite they do not have designated space for that. We really appreciated that

    This place is definitely the best choice for someone who is visiting Uppsala. It’s located in the centre of the city with many bars and restaurants around. In addition, the hostel is small and very clean. The owner is a kind guy who is 100% willing to help. I was lucky enough to be alone in the 4-bed room, so I couldn’t know what it would be like with roomates here. The kitchen is well-equipped and clean as well. And also, the most important thing, I felt safe and secure all the time, considering that I was staying here alone.
