Slottsskogens Hostel

Stayed here during the Obstacle Course Racing World Champs and it was very close to the park and tram lines. The breakfast was great and good value. The staff were friendly and helpful. There were a number of good places to eat nearby as well as a supermarket.

I really enjoyed my two night stay at Slottsskogens hostel! The location is good, ~30 mins to walk to the city centre. The room was clean and my roommates were friendly but quiet and respectful. Your experience probably depends a lot on who you’re in a room with! The showers/bathrooms were generally clean and there are plenty around to access. The man at reception (I didn’t catch his name but he had long white hair/a beard from what I remember?) was really kind and spoke to me for about 20 mins when he found out I was from Scotland! The social area always seemed to have people hanging around and there were social activities on during the weekend, so if you’re willing to put yourself out there it would be pretty easy to meet some friends. I came solo and got on really well with my roommates :) Overall I really enjoyed this and would definitely return if i’m back in Gothenburg

I stayed in a private room and can't really comment and the social aspect of the hostel. The private room was in a separate building on the other side of the street to the main hostel. The room was quite grimey (stains on the walls and a very old and thin mattress). You have to clean your own room, including hoovering the floor which in my many experiences of staying in hostels I've never had to do before. I think that explains why it doesn't feel very clean. I'm not sure the bathrooms are cleaned very often, they don't have windows, and the shower curtains smell terrible and could do with being changed. It's definitely a budget friendly option, and if you don't mind it being a bit dirty, I think it's a good option for a solo trip. But I think it could be cleaner.

Great spot to stay, 2 bars opposite the hostel...even though they do shut at 10pm, but there are other places to go..the park is about a 2 min walk with great views and a nice sights to see. Would recommend staying here, staff are great and do what they can for you

Very disappointing. Paid €220 for two nights and didn’t even get towels. Breakfast had no fruit, we had to put on dirty bedding ourselves, and there was a bloody tissue in the bed. Bathrooms were filthy and water leaked everywhere. On top of that, you have to pay extra for room cleaning when you leave – otherwise, they don’t clean it at all and you’re expected to vacuum the room yourself. Terrible quality for a high price – not recommended.

Clean. Usable free sauna from 4-7pm. Friendly staffs, large kitchen. The guests were pretty cool too

amazing hostel, lovely staff, great free sauna, but please honestly why do some hostels make you change your bed surely get a cleaner to do it

Very nice location, super good price I just wish I had more space for the luggage My roommates had very big bags and I literally could not get down from the bunk bed bc they were on the way Very convenient overall and would stay there again Went to midsommar together with the guys there and it was super fun!

Super easy stay! I was backpacking around Sweden and Denmark with 2 friends and we stayed one night here in Gothenburg. We had a whole room (4 beds) to the 3 of us so there was plenty of space and even had a TV in the room to watch some Swedish TV. I'm specifically writing this review to say thanks to the super helpful hostel staff who shipped me my apple watch that I forgot in the room overseas to Chicago. I was worried that I'd never get it back because you know how things can go when you're backpacking around hostels but the staff was honest, nice and helpful in sending it back to me! Specifically, Linda, who I was exchanging info over email with trying to get the watch back. I couldn't be more grateful and satisfied with my stay here, 5/5 stars. Felt like it was easy to get all over the city from there and there was even a park a short walk away that had a really cool free-to-enter zoo inside that had a bunch of animals native to the area. Thank you so much to the people who work here, again!

Good hostel! We stayed here for two nights, and enjoyed the place. Friendly staff, clean and comfy rooms, key-cards and big lockers, luggage storage, well equipped & clean kitchen, many toilets/showers in the corridor. Linen or breakfast are not included. Housekeeping before leaving. Location was ok, quite far from the central station (we traveled by train), but it was fine. Cafés and shops nearby.

It was a bit far from the city center but close to the ferry. It's quite expensive for a hostel, because we didn't even have our own toilet and had to clean our own room. But then again, Sweden is expensive.

"Vandrarhem": Cheap hotel without your own shower and linen. Very good for its kind, fresh room, fresh toilet and shower, quiet and very good position in town (between Järntorget and Linnéstaden) and also good price.
