“A no fuss functional place to stay if you don't spend long at the premises.”
It was a functional place to stay. Clean and streamlined. Almost everything worked. Kitchen facilities were good enabling self-catering and food storage. Beneath my window was a small patch of greenery with buttercup flowers in full bloom!

“It was fine”
Great location if you're a history nerd like me and want to go to Gammla Uppsala, nice couple hour walk, and close to the centre of Uppsala center. Had hair dryer and towels and kitchen to cook.

“Great location for a short stay in Uppsala”
The hostel is located about a 10-minute walk from the city center, which was very convenient. Free parking was available right in front of the entrance, and there were plenty of spots. Everything was clean. The interior is quite minimalistic – not very cozy, but if you prefer a more practical and straightforward style, this is the place for you. The kitchen was decently equipped, and there was even a coffee machine with coffee provided. Overall, it's a good choice for a stopover or to explore the lovely city of Uppsala.

Good hostel, comfortable, rooms clean and large enough. Large shared kitchen. Bathrooms shared in corridors, accessible without problems. Distance from Uppsala city centre about 15-20 minutes walk. Quiet, peaceful location in a residential area.

“Good place to stay in Uppsala”
The location was good. The bus No 2 stops nearby. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was spacious. There are different room types - the ones that are like studious including the WC, fridge and kitchen, and the rooms that have bed and table and other facilities are shared.

Rooms are small but it's all I really needed, the location is decent and really within walking distance of most things anyone would want to see, state of the building and facilities was good and clean.

“Don't be lured by the relatively low price. The location is terrible.”
1) Terrible view of a parked car directly in front of the window. 2) Loud music from people in the neighbour block partying the whole night. 3) Air conditioning too cold. It can neither be turned off nor reduced. 4) Located far away from Uppsala Centralstation and the city centre.
