Lovely place, great location, just by the park where you can see different kinds of animals and the public transport station in right across the street. You can use transport easily, just tap the credit card on the reader and you're covered for 90 min of riding with it just remember to validate your card while changing the vehicle. Hotel is very clean and cosy, room is just the right size and the balcony gave us a chance to just sit and watch. Toilets and showers are at another level. It's really clean, it shows that they put a lot pf work in this. Breakfast is lovely, there is something for everyone. Amazing coffee and I'm not talking about coffee machine but real coffee. You've got to try apple jam and wild berry jam. Also lovely staff that are always cheerful and ready to help. Self check in is so easy, you get a code before you arrive the same day and then you get two keys and spare one that stays in locker. Getting in and out is also easy, just tap the key of your room to the reader on the left side of the hotel door and there you go. They also offer a kitchen where you can cook yourself a meal or eat something, and I have to say it is perfect. You have everything you need, even a refrigerator where you devide your food from the others and an oven. It's open from 6am until 10pm. Comfy beds are like heaven after a long day on your feet. There are great coffee shops near: OH MY COFFEE, NOTELLA ROLLS, Juice bar: Nextlevel juice, where juice is really next level and gelato also. You need to try Notello rolls, they have different kinds of pancakes, mini, american, italian and original crepes and also waffles. And an amazing coffe and juice. Definitely going there again very soon. Great price for all the good stuff.

I had to get a poster printed (size A0) urgently. The host was so nice, he really went out of his way to help me find a solution. Finally I had to go to a different place, but I appreciated his efforts.

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.

Amazing hostel! So clean and well maintained! Lovely dorm and social area. The best hostel kitchen I’ve seen to date! Fantastic staff that were so friendly and welcoming. Comfy beds and modern interior throughout. Massive lockers. Lots of events hosted by the hostel and the information pack about Gothenburg was a wonderful addition! Tasty breakfast with a wide selection of food! Would definitely stay here again!

Not the first time I stayed here, and perhaps not the last. Of course it's a simple hostel, situated in a historic building, yet it's charming, taken care of and with everything you need for a budget stay. Located a bit outside the city center, with a tram stop and shops just around the corner. STF Hostels are always a good option when in Sweden.

Very clean, which certainly isn’t the case in all hostels! The dormitory room also had a lot of floor space which was nice. It’s a bit far from the centre of town but I think that’s actually a good thing, the hostel is in a really nice area so you see more of the ‘real’ Gothenburg, not just the tourist stuff.

This accomodation was very clean and modern. Located in a very calm neighbourhood and only a few minutes from the bus stop, the location was more than satisfactory. Additionally, the rooms were clean and with a safety lockers and the kitchen well equipped. Compared to other hostels, this one had a lot of bathrooms and toilets so you did not have to wait to shower. The breakfast was tasty with a wide choice of food. The Hostel also offers the free walking tour and you can buy some souvenirs at the information desk.
