The bright guest rooms at Hostel Göteborg have wooden floors and are furnished with a table and chairs. Some rooms have bunk beds, while others have spring mattresses. All rooms feature windows and a quiet location.

For that price I was afraid there would be too much compromises. But the only drawback for low price was a toilet/shower located outside of room (lot of them available in common area) and also maybe room size (really tiny). But if you are outside whole day and only need place to sleep and place to eat your own food - nothing is missing here for that purpose.

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.

    Had a lovely little stay here for two nights. It’s in a great location, less than 10 minute walk from the bus and train station with a direct bus to the airport. The room was comfortable, warm, nice hot showers and the included breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of hot and cold food, pastries, juice and hot drinks. All the staff I encountered were lovely and helpful. I felt safe here as a solo traveller. There is a Co op on the corner just a couple minutes walk away which was really convenient to get some snacks.

    The hotel was spotless and cosy. Room was a little small for 4 adults as it had bunk beds but it was clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and helpful, especially Magdalena she was amazing. Super friendly and welcoming and provided us with local information. Breakfast was also very tasty with a good selection. Overall would definitely recommend for a budget hotel in a great location.

    cleanliness and the location of stay. Also accessibility at any time made things better for us. I chose the dormitory kind of room which was though cheap, were less privacy were maintained since unknown persons can be occupied in the same room.

    - Great location and the area seems safe. - Very quiet at night. It's a small hostel. - Willys supermarket is right across the street from the hostel, open until 9pm. - This place is probably best for a stay of just one or two nights, in my opinion.

    We really enjoyed the beds, they were extremely comfortable. Moreover, the hostel and the showers were very clean. The common area and the kitchen were really quiet. We stayed in a room of 4 people and it was very well isolated of sound. Best hostel I have ever been to! Thank you Backpackers Göteborg!!
