STF Östersund Ledkrysset hostel

Kitchen especially the ovens and fridge was pretty dirty. Women toilet, showers full of mold on the walls and curtains. But you could also see how no deep cleaning has been done in a while. The reception closes very early There also seems to be people living there which is very awkward. No dorms for women only which makes it very uncomfortable. I was the only one and 4 men, which made sleep with an eye open and an emergency whistle in my hand. No one is at the hostel at night from the administration either.

Very comfy hostel near downtown Östersund, with close access to lots of restaurants and things to do and see. Bookended my recent trip to SE with stays there at the beginning and end of my trip. Will definitely go back in the future!

No bedsheet or towel is given. Need to top up 100SEK per person for it. For short stay it more worth it to stay at a hotel in the towm center Location: About 10 mins walk uphill from town center. Only have 2 shower cubicles with flimy cartain as door. Is does not feel like a hostel but more like a collage dorm. Plus point. It have a well equip kitchen

The hostel has a really nice vibe and the room (no. 7) was very spacious. Lots of locks between the outside and your room. Even though we only stayed here one night, I really enjoyed how well-equipped the kitchen was, as well as there being lots of common rooms to hang out in. Toilets and showers were clean and good, although it would've been better if there was a little more room in the (men's) shower for your clothes and a little more privacy than a flimsy shower curtain too. The staff was very friendly, and I really enjoyed my night here!

Great location with nice staff! Huge well equipped kitchen. Every room has its own space in the fridge. We could use the washing machine for free. Nice TV and play/living room. Big terrace. Also great with kids! Everything was very clean. Great place to stay in Östersund!

Brilliant large youth hostel! Clean, big family room, dogs welcome. Well equipped kitchen with lockers to store food and large fridges with sections per room, Nice shared dining room & living room area. Well decorated. Reasonably priced. What's not to like?

I´ve stayed here once a year for the last 4 years. The place used to be the living quarters for the former fire station in Östersund. It is located two blocks from down town, easy walkable distance. Plenty of parking on the streets around (the hostel has a few spaces on the court yard for parking, but I´ve never managed to snag one, not even once, during four stays... ). If arriving by train the stop Östersund Västra is closest, and the bus station is also close by. ||Since this has been the dormitory for the fire fighters the layout of the place is very good. Some rooms have private bathrooms, others do not. Some rooms have access to the patio straight from the room, some do not. Some with bunkbeds, some with IKEA-beds. Just ask when booking to make sure you get the kind of room and layout you like. ||The common rooms are functional and well equipped, with a dining room, a TV-room and a library/social area as well as two patios, a big kitchen with three separate stove-sets, two zinks and a huge fridge with labeled small shelves for each room. ||Shared baths are gender specific, there is a washing machine and during staffed opening hours a small shop in the reception.||The wifi used to be good, this last visit it was horrendous! I had better service from the free wifi from the 24-hour gym in the basement of the building...and even that was poor. Also, the type of guests that stay here have changed. It used to be a quiet, family oriented place, this last time it was more like party central. Sadly the young staffers never seem to get the nerve to ask the loud guests to shut up. ||The bathrooms have seen some wear, and bunk beds with thin foam mattresses does not make for a great night´s sleep.||Still, the price is unbeatable for this standard in Östersund, so I´ll probably be back next year again.

We were on a road trip to photograph the northern lights and after sleeping in the car for one night we decided to have a better night sleep by having a real bed. Was no problem find a free room in the end of November on some hours notice. Really central, heated garage (80kr / night), downside was that they just had two spots available but we were lucky to get one. Can just repeat what I said in the title yet again - the staff was really nice and the whole place was really clean but it felt a bit old - but I'll add that to the "why it was charming"-list.
