Slottsskogens hostel is split between two buildings across Vegagatan. Last year, only the one was fully modernised: bright, white, clean and basic, but work appears to be under way on the reception and breakfast room side. This was a return visit, again to the fully modernised side. A two-person room is decidedly snug and not much cheaper at 540SEK per... More

This hostel was very good value for money. The location was good and central. I had a bunk bed in a dorm room and there was enough space in my locker for everything.. There is a communal kitchen with very good equipment. I asked for some information from the staff and they were very helpful. I will stay here again.

I slept there for only one night, therefore my impression is based on a very short stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I booked two bed room per hostelworld and I traveled alone (then you have to book for two persons) - when I arrived, they gave me an available single room as they realized that I am... More

I have stayed in a wide range of hostels, all over Europe, and this one is just my favourite ! We paid 25€ per night, and this is nothing for Scandinavia. And 25€ for the quality we got, is really nothing. Our dorm looked like a doll house: white wooden bunk beds, a table with a mirror and HAIRDRYER (... More

Stayed one night by myself, the lady at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. Its not super cheap but neither is sweden so its normal. They cant be blamed for that! The social areas of the hostel are well separated from the sleeping areas so you cant hear noise in the room. Breakfast was an extra 65 or... More

If your budget is limited, then this is the best place to stay in. Rooms are clean, reception people are cordial and helpful, reception people are very well versed with the territory of Gothenburg and help with directions in a precise manner, bathrooms are well maintained, and so on. To add to all this, they have an excellent kitchen. This... More

Stayed in a private room with my friend in july 2012. This hostel was overall good, nothing to complain about really. The location is pretty good, the room was clean, the price good compared to other hostels in Gothenburg, kitchen, free city map.

My friends and I stayed in a 4-person private dorm for one night. The receptionists were very helpful and took the time to map out the nearby sites, bars, and restaurants. Our room was in the rather grim looking "alternate" building (the hostel's rooms span two side-by-side buildings), but was comfortable and clean on the inside. The shared bathrooms were... More

I was on my 3rd visit to Gothenburg, to visit a former work colleague. Because she couldn't host me, I had to find emergency accommodation for 2 of my 3 days. It's clearly stated that if you have no bedlinen you "can" (read "MUST") rent from them. But if you just walk in, you have to add that on top... More
