   DON‘T GO THERE (unless you wanna live in a dirt pile with people with addiction issues). The pictures are a lie, nothing looks like them at all. Everything is dirty, it stinks and there is even blood on the wall. While we were trying to take a shower a drunk man opened the door 3 times. We didn’t feel safe at all.

   Was assaulted on several occasions by drunk men, aggressive women and druggies. Most of the people staying here are old, homeless and drunks. Manager does not care. They allow aggressive residents to stay as long as there is no physical assault. I have approached them on more than one occasion but they don’t seem to be concerned. The ladies bathroom has been used on more than one occasion by men, the ladies bathroom either smells of urine or cannabis and on more than one occasion, the plumbing failed and all the waste and excrement from god knows how long ago all came floating onto the floor and flooded the bathroom. Management locked the ladies bathroom for more than 3 days . I have seen rats scurrying the kitchen floor on several occasions and drunk men who trespass the hostel and sleep in the lounge for free.

   SCAM ALERT! They took money from my card without my permission before I got there, and then completely ignored me when I tried to contact them to ask for explanation. They never responded to me! Do yourself a favor and stay away form this place.

   This establishment falls far short of acceptable standards, it is worst hostel I ever been. From a cleanliness standpoint, the conditions were profoundly disappointing. The rooms exhibited a clear lack of attention to hygiene, A persistent, unpleasant odor permeated the space, further contributing to the overall unwelcoming environment. However, the most alarming aspect was the compromised safety and security. It was deeply disturbing to witness an attempted drug transaction openly taking place within the hostel's premises. This place is characterized by its terrible dirtyness and, more critically, its deeply concerning lack of security. I strongly advise against choosing this accommodation. Avoid it entirely.

   AVOID! Especially if you are a woman! I came here with my friends for one night and we had to find somewhere else to stay in the night because of how unsafe and uncomfortable we felt. The hostel is gross: dirty sheets and fridges full of old food, but the unbearable part was the atmosphere. The only people were old men who seemed to be living at the hostel and stared and said uncomfortable things. Us 19 yo girls were put in a room with a similar old man and felt very unsafe. It’s not worth it.

   As all reviews have stated the only redeeming quality of this hostel is its location. Upon entering the scent of hostel assaulted my nose, the smell developed and grew when I got to the common area, with deep undertones of spoiled food and garbage. Walking towards the washroom this scent again shifted in its nature to all the scents you’d expect from a dirty bathroom. The sheets that I was given (which I had to pay 100 SEK for) were dirty, not stained, but just straight up dirty. Like I’m talking covered in dirt that I brushed off with my hands as if they’d been dropped in the street. I’m all for sustainable linens, I don’t mind a stained sheet that has been laundered since it’s last use, but this is definitely where I draw the line. A lot of the other guests were quite nice, but a select few stood out and made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe, and I’m a 6’ tall man. As I’m writing this review two of these said guests are in a full blown screaming match/fistfight outside the room I’m staying in. Please do not stay here. Do yourself a favour and stay anywhere else. I’m not a picky dude, and don’t mind sleeping on floors, in dingy rooms, but this place is past my tolerance. It’s cheap, but you pay the price I’m feeling unsafe in your room, and anxiety/disgust every time you come back in to the hostel.

   My friend and I booked a room and couldn't even enter the hostel, despite being on time (before 18). The entrance was locked, no answer on the phone. Total waste of money and time. Do not book this place, total scam.

   This hostel, which I hesitate to dignify with the term, presented an alarming convergence of discomfort and disarray. It wasn't merely a place to rest; it was an unsettling odyssey through the worst facets of hospitality. The initial shock manifested itself in the form of a bed tainted with blood, a grotesque introduction that set the tone for the nightmarish stay that followed. The olfactory assault was relentless—an amalgamation of foul scents that greeted us upon every return, triggering an immediate sense of dread and prompting involuntary panic. Sleep became a distant prospect as the acrid stench permeated the air, an almost tangible presence that clung to every surface. In a twist that surpassed mere metaphor, the presence of a "panic button" in the rooms served as an unsettling acknowledgment of the hostel's inherent dangers. The stark reality of needing an emergency measure within these walls underscored a profound lack of security, compounding the already palpable sense of vulnerability. Our roommates, if they can be called that, defied the conventions of communal living. One was a prisoner of his bed, ensconced for an eerie 72 hours without apparent respite. The others seemed to have transcended the transient nature of hostel living, exhibiting a disconcerting permanence that raised questions about the place's occupants. This is not a mere cautionary tale; it's a fervent plea to spare yourself the anguish of a stay in this hostel. The combination of unsanitary conditions, pervasive discomfort, and eerie roommates transforms it into a place that transcends the ordinary and ventures into the realm of the truly nightmarish. Choose your accommodations wisely, for the haunting memories of this ill-fated stay linger long after the departure.

    Do NOT stay here!! It’s not a safe place to stay, especially for girls. We left after 2 hours and saw drug addicted, drunk and weird people. We needed to share our room with someone who actually lives there!? He was naked under his blanket and 40+. Random guys, not even Hostel guests, sat in the girls bathroom taking/making drugs. A guy followed our friend down the hallway and tried to catch her. Everything is dirty. It is a basement. The receptionist started being mean after we explained our situation. Earlier the day he told us, it’s a safe place to stay for girls. That’s a lie. Roommates offered Cocaine without asking. The common kitchen is a mess. There’s dirt and random stuff everywhere. We got no money back, but at least we ended up staying at a place where we felt comfortable.

    Very dirty horrible hostel. My pillow was stained yellow with sweat and there was bugs in the kitchen. The showers didn’t have cubicle doors so there was nothing but a curtain between you and everyone else using the toilets. There’s a horrible unsafe atmosphere there. The place is full of creepy strange men in the hallways and common room at night and I had strangers coming in and out of my dorm all through the night. Didn’t stay any longer than I had to and quickly went to another hostel.
