I recently stayed at a hostel in Gothenburg, and I must say it was a great experience. The cleanliness of the hostel was impressive, and the staff members were extremely helpful and kind. The best part was that it offered excellent value for the price. The hostel felt safe, which was important to me, and I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen that had everything I needed for cooking. Additionally, the hostel had a lovely patio and living room area, which created a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, helpful staff, and convenient amenities. Enough showers and toilets everywhere... don't be afraid you won't need to wait.

The staff was really nice. We had a late check-in and the staff really took care that we knew how to get to our room. We got an SMS and they even called us to explain everything. They were super nice whenever we saw someone during our stay. The room was spacious enough with enough outlets and comfortable beds. We liked that the breakfast is served in different a room, so you can still choose to make your own breakfast in the kitchen. The kitchen is big enough for a few people to cook at the same time. There is a good tram connection to the city centre and even a direct connection to the port.

It was really good value for a budget... We came after the check-in time due to flight delay, and we had great communication with owner.. It was just a few minutes from the city centre and you could walk there fairly quickly from the Nils Ericson central station, or take a tram just acros the bridge to get there... It was really clean, and It was equipped with all you need... ..

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.
