    Maybe the bathrooms are a little bit inferior to all the rooms and the design of the hostel

    I loved the perfection and cleanliness, it was perfect

    Don't forget to bring your own bedlinen to this hostel.

    I didn't realise until after I had booked that it was an extra 750 SEK for the hire of bed linen. Most other people I met there were similarly surprised. (One girl had, but hadn't come across the need to use it anywhere else). I hostel all ver Europe and only remember having to bring my wn sheet sleeping bag to hostels in the UK in the 1970s/80s when bedlinen generally wasn't provided in those days!) I would have booked elsewhere if I had realised. It is the first time I have come across this in Sweden. I question it as a good idea. I have stayed in hostels before where even where bed linen is included, lazy (guys) have not bothered using the sheets (!). More importantly however, I wonder whether anyone has thought how hygienic it is having guests use their own sheets.

    The hostel was clean, and it was easy to find and check in. There was a good kitchen and lounge/breakfast room. The bed was comfortable, and the shared bathroom arrangements were good.

    The bed frame on the double-decker one was a bit unstable. Was not so comfortable climbing up and down.

    Everything was clean and the staff were nice and helpful. Spoke English as well and smiled a lot. We even had the option to take a free of charge standing fan into our room and turn it on, if it got too hot. The bathroom facilities were nice as well, always clean and stocked with toilet paper.

    A bit warm. When a man was taking care of the breakfast buffet, he was actually more interested to chat with reseptionist and fingering his phone.

    Really good location. It was easy to hop on a tram. Breakfast buffet was great, all we needed was there. The young women were quick to fill. Clean, good beds.

    The top bunk had no edge to reduce likelihood of falling out, and this also made it quite tricky to climb up/down. I would have liked one more toilet available as sometimes they were all in use.

    The location was excellent, and rooms were quiet. Beds all had a dimmable light, and fans were available. There was a space to sit, and kitchen facilities available so very convenient.

    There is basically no one working at the hotel most of the time. You need a code that is sent to your phone to get in and to retrieve your key from a little locker. If you find yourself locked out of your room without your key or phone, you are screwed (and this happened to me, I had to wait for another guest to arrive and borrow there phone to call an emergency number). Another older women got stuck out the front of the hotel as she never got the code texted to her to check in. Also be aware!! Bedding is not included and you have to pay for it if you didn't bring your own, which I don't think was advertised clearly enough.

    Wonderful location, right next to an amazing park and just down the road from Haga. Comfy rooms plus beds have privacy curtains. Great kitchen. An elevator between floors, which is always appreciated with a big bag.

    Charging for the use of linen, unless you bring your own. Steep fine to pay if you don't use the linen.. First time I get charged for linen, and I've been to over a 100 hostels. Question is: Who travels with linen? Why not just raising the room price? Spoiled the experience for me as it seems very unnecessary.

    Convenient location, next to a big park in a quite safe neighbourhood. Good and varied breakfast. Good facilities, cozy and nicely decorated, wee terrace to chill.

    1. Pale grey and white signage makes it a bit difficult to read and find. 2. A key card for door entry would have been better. Trying to look through for my first code, in several messages, in the dark, when I needed the toilet made things more difficult to concentrate. 3. Guests have an option to bring their own sheets. I would have preferred just to pay for everything all at once. If someone brings their own sheets no one will check it. If the sheets are clean or used, or bring insects in with them. It's a problem waiting to happen, if they ever get an infestation.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Healthy good breakfast. Clean and comfortable.
