Nightmare

The hostel was great and so was the service. Very cleen too

Friendly crewRoom itself was annoying configured lamp not placed optional(not in middle)-kids screaming each night-no hairspray or deodorant

Average

Good facilities. Pantry was well equipped with basic kitchen equipment and many fridges and freezers to store our cold food.

Things in the bathroom wasn't quite working. Mop falling apart, smelly curtain. Curtain in the room didn't quite close.

Awful experience. Firstly, they charge you for the bed linens, which is nowhere previously informed as an extra payment in the web at the moment you book the room. Secondly, the rooms are extremely small, not very clean, and one of the toilets in the corridor was out of order. The shower was small and not clean enough.Finally, the location is horrible, the surroundings are dirty and not suitable for kids, not even for families.

Unpleasant accommodation

Not the easiest place to find (it is up a long flight of stairs, off the main road), but a friendly welcome at reception. Good communication (via email) before I arrived, checking if I wanted to order bed linen, etc (as it's a hostel). Room was modern, clean, comfy bed. All the bathrooms are shared (located out in the main corridor), but I never had any issue with toilets/showers being occupied whilst I stayed. There's a communal living room and also a kitchen area allowing you to cook meals, etc, and space allocated in the fridges for each room so you can keep food in there). I stayed here as there was a book fair on in Gothenburg so a lot of the hotels were full, but it was fine for everything I needed whilst I stayed.

Midweek business stay

While I was out for lunch the first day I stayed here, my laptop computer was stolen from my (locked!) room. Whether it was the very unfriendly hotel staff, or some of the super sketchy people who lived there (permanently!), I don't know.

The hotel was completely useless in any way helping me out. I have stayed at many crappy places around the world, but this must be the worst experience (even the cockroach place I stayed in, in Hong Kong was nicer!).

For what ever you do, DO NOT stay here!!! Absolutely not recommendable in any way!

I stayed at this hostel for a total of 4 nights.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

We stayed here for 4 nights in October 2017. 

We are a family with two young kids (1+3) and had a larger double room with a single plus a baby bed. We liked that the baby bed was free of charge. 

Location
is great, the tram stop (lines 3, 9 and 11 if I'm not mistaken) is only a couple of minutes walk away and it's only a handful of stops to the city centre. There is hemköp supermarket right unterneath the hostel. 

We didn't go out at night but the area is kinda weird. You have to take the stairs - or more likely with your luggage - the elevator up to where the hostel is. The eleveator is soooo grotty and gross, it smells of urine and is dirty. And no we are not fussy people. 

The room
that we had was not overly big, but no shoebox either. It was clean, fresh, nicely decorated and had a mirror, bedside table with lamps, tv, bin, shelf, and wardrobe. Free wifi in the room and downstairs.

The bathrooms
are either toilet only, shower only or shower plus toilet and also clean. The showers are good - very good water pressure and lots of hot water. 

The kitchen
is spacious enough but could definitely do with some upgrades in terms of utensils and stuff like that. Free coffee and sometimes there were free cinnamon buns. 

The reception 
is hit and miss if there's someone there or not. However, you can always call them because if they are not sitting at reception they are working somewhere in the building. 

One word about the guests of the hostel: 
The hostel works with the Swedish Government and houses people (mainly immigrants or receivers of benefits) until the government finds accommodation for them. We didn't have any problems with any of the people living there, but I can see how other reviews felt a lack of that typical hostel atmosphere. It suited us quited well that there was other kids and babies around, because we had to wee ones with us as well.

Good for a hostel

Made feel welcome  by staff- nice &clean -A nice atmosphere - very homely Easy to reach by tram.
