They use technology very well. Even I checked in late, I found everything what I needed before I reach that place. The room was clean and silent, the curtain was a good idea.

The common kitchens were a little bit dirty but because the people staying there didn´t clean after themselves. The only "bad" thing is that we wanted to have breakfast and we intended to pay at the moment but because bobody booked it id advance, we could not have breakfast. Despite that, the rooms were clean, confy and very nice looking. Toilets also good and overall our stay was really enjoyed. The staff very friendly.

I liked absolutely everything, the rooms are clean, the kitchen is clean, there is even coffee and tea for guests, there are towels in the room, even a hairdryer and clean bed linen. The rooms are very comfortable and it is not far to get to the center. The owner of the hotel is very nice, answered a late phone call, and once again explained how to get to the apartment.

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.
