Hågadalens Hostel & Vandrarhem is located in Uppsala, right next to the Hågadalen - Nåstens Nature Reserve, and features comfortable, modern rooms with seating area and wooden floors. Uppsala Central Station is 6.2 km away and can be easily reached by bus.

We liked the kindness of the hostess very much We got the impression that every detail in this hostel has been thought out and designed with great care and elegance. If we - four pensioners - had any prejudices against hostels, staying in Uppsala dispelled them.

Uppsala City Hostel is located in the heart of Uppsala, 500 metres from Uppsala Central Station and 300 metres from the main square, Stora Torget. It offers free Wi-Fi internet access and a fully equipped shared kitchen.

Great bang for the buck, and probably the friendliest hostel in Uppsala. It is clean, tidy and very calm. Stayed here 3 times over the years, and always seem to end up having the most interesting conversations with the guy running the place about the different curiosities in our respective countries (I'm a Swede who emigrated to Spain 16 years ago). The place is located right in the very middle of Uppsala putting it right next to restaurants, stores and "must see's". Next time I plan another visit to Uppsala this hostel will be on the very top of the list of places to stay.

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.

    Staff are very responsive to communication via e-mail and are very helpful. Good facilities and clean. Location is a safe and easy walk away from the city centre, although ensure you have good walking shoes with grip when icy/snowy.

    The best value for money hostel at the city center ! Walking distance to the centrum and right next to central station. Also, bathrooms were really clean, compared to other hotels which charge around the same for a room / dorm.

    Great location, near to the Cathedral, the palace as well as the city centre. The room and bathroom were very clean and the large double bed was comfortable. The breakfast was ample and varied. Next time we are passing through Uppsala we will be staying here again.
