overall a very good experience!

Good place to sleep over. Very friendly and helpful staff (top!), an interesting area with an artisan bakery with the best bread I have ever eaten in Sweden (which does not say much, granted, but it is an exceptional bakery), good and free parking just outside the door. The bed could have been better (squaking), but overall a very good experience.

Expensive for what it was, strange area in distant location from the train station. Nice people working the front desk, but compared to other hostels it seems strange to make someone pay for their sheets and towels.
