Liked: The breakfast was amazing and it was also very accomidating to people with allergies, namely my girlfriend. I also really liked the idea of cleaning up after yourself, it is completely unnecessary for our society to have people working to simply clean up after others. Lastly, it was nice that there was both a breakfast place and a common kitchen for those who did not want to pay for the breakfast and to cook meals at other times during the day.

Disliked: There was a large group of children being intiated into the relgious cult of christianity and they were running in the halls very loudly and screaming in the common room which we could hear in our room. Also I really did not enjoy having to listen to their prayers simply because I was sitting at the computer at the time. This was not so much the fault of the hostel though but they could have at least made some boundaries so that they did not bother other people.

Liked: I liked everything, there were a couple of reviews with complaints on them that I had seen, but theyr were just too exagerated apparently. I didn't find anything to complain about.

Disliked: Honestly the only thing I found I slightly disliked is barely anything to complain about, and that's that it is difficult to take a shower without flooding the floor, there should be something separating the shower floor from the rest of the bathroom. Asides from that, everything was perfect.

Liked: The kitchen was accessible to all, and there were really people there from all over the world. The internet service was great and it was close to a lot of supermarkets and restaurants. Many nice walks around the hostel as well. The staff were also very kind and helpful :)

Disliked: The bathrooms were sometimes extremely old, some in not too good condition. They couldn't offer breakfast earlier for people who absolutely had to leave earlier. There was also no curfew for the kitchen and social area meaning that it was hard to get to sleep or rest well at all.

Liked: Everything was great! There are people talking about the location in the reviews - it is not a central location, but it is very easy to get to and find! I wouldn't let that keep you from staying here; overall it's one of the best hostels I've stayed in.

Disliked: Nothing! I don't like having to pay for linens but that is pretty common in Sweden

Liked: I had a great stay here for two nights. This seems like a very environmentally conscious hostel. There is a full kitchen here, unlike many other hostels. The staff were very friendly. Even in the 12 bed dorm room there was a ton of space. The common area of the building I was in was also very spacey. The cafe in the main building close to the reception was also very nice. Nice area too... close to willys just up the stairs, or hemköp down the road.

Disliked: no complaints here... I had a great stay
