Svea Hostel AB

Location is great, you have access to transportation very easily, and from there you can get anywhere. The rooms and the shared areas are good. There are machines to do your laundry and dry it for a reasonable price. The owner is really nice. Good money for value overall. So, there is an issue with bedbugs. I found one on my bed. It's not related to the place's cleanliness; it's just a plague that seems to be everywhere in Europe. After staying here, I encountered this problem in Abisko (thank God, I've been traveling for 6 weeks so far and have been able to avoid them, but it's challenging because most places have this problem). Now, I'm trying to book in Madrid, and places with a 9.2 score and 13,000 reviews have negative reviews and pictures of people bitten by bedbugs. So, yes, this ruined my trip for a week because I'm allergic. The positive side is that the owner gave me a full refund. To clarify, only 5% of people bitten by bedbugs have problems, and those who are allergic are the ones who do. So if you're allergic, I'd recommend avoiding booking any place that has this issue. Otherwise, you could give it a try because the price is reasonable and the place is fine! It's sad to leave this review because the owner is really nice, but I have to be honest with other travelers because I don't want this to happen to anyone who is allergic.

I have been bitten by bedbugs on a whole body.

Very good location Not worth the money, for 80 euros you get a small twin bedroom without bed sheets or towels. Very basic conditions, no shower gel or anything. So really a hostel vibe, but overpriced. I read on google maps they had problems with bedbugs so maybe thats why now you have to pay for the bed linen, but cmon
