Vibes are great, the only problem was the bed. It was uncomfortable. However, the rest of the hostel was great. Bathrooms, kitchen, floors, and the common room were clean.
The place is very easy to find

All was good. Many rooms were at slightly different levels (2-12cm risers) and I stubbed by toes a lot. But I got used to where they were.

Nice cosy hostel where the staff were friendly in a good location within walking distance of the central station and old town. Found it to be very good value for money- make sure to read the details of the hostel as you do have to make your own bed up and hire towels separately in case those things are an issue for you. Found the room to be very quiet, clean, with a comfortable bed and was a good temperature. Lockers are a bit on the small side to fit a suitcase/larger bag but as there's plenty of floor space you can pop these out of the way. Attached bathroom was clean and showers were good- plenty of hot water and space for clothes etc. There is only 1 toilet which is inside one of the 2 shower rooms attached to the room but there is also another toilet just down the corridor and plenty of sink space so didn't cause any issues for us even with all the bunks occupied. Enjoyed the sauna and appreciated the map of the hostel given when checking in which made finding my room a lot easier. Decent wifi throughout too. I think there was also free pasta available but didn't personally try this. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

I booked a private room for 2 guests. And I would not recommend it to anyone. Pro: on Normalm district so it is close to most major attractions. Cons: the property is not worth the price they are charging, and here is why - 1. There are no lifts or ramps on the property making it inconvinient to carry your luggage. 2. There are codes for every entrance which keeps changing instead of a card system. 3. Rooms are extremely small with A. no ventilation B. very dimly lit C. No mirror to get ready 4. Although room details mentions bathroom, they are all common. 5. All showers are in basement and half of them are out of order. 6. Toilets don't have paper towels. Only an unhygienic cloth towel. 7. Showers don't have hooks to hang clothes or shelves to keep toiletries. Also, there is no shower gel or shampoo. 8. Stoves are switched off after 10 pm so you can't cook after that. 9. You have to remove shoes outside but they don't provide you bathroom slippers to wear on property. 10. Lastly, the luggage room is in basement which has narrow circular staircase and heavy doors making it dangerous to move luggage.

Nice and clean room, with a clean and nice common rooms. Funky old building, and reception was super helpful. Just be aware they charge for sheets on-top of the room rate (30SEK) that's payable when you arrive. They could have some more toilets and showers, but it's not a massive issue.

2 night stay

The accommodation was fairly comfortable, however checking out was made a bit difficult when the keycode changed the day i was leaving and was a little effort trying to leave. The doors can be noisy aswell as when people are leaving and entering when trying to sleep along with metal bed frames whwre you can hear every time somebody is turning over. The accommodation is catered for large amount of travellers, so would recommend if you're with a group or up for socialising.
