Location: near the train station, has Hemkopp supermarket nearby. Staff: friendly and helpful, good English fluency. Hostel facilities (shared bathrooms and shower, kitchen): bathrooms and shower cleaned regularly; did not go to kitchen much, but seemed well equipped for utensils; the cupboard for extra pillows and fans were well stocked, although the ironing board and iron might not always be there. Breakfast: good sweet and savory selection, with DIY waffle and jaffle irons that are a bit challenging. Good value for money for a single hostel room with breakfast add on.

Location is very good. Hospility nice.

AMAZING STAFF! Booked this due to an emergency family stay at local hospital and nothing else available. From the moment I arrived the staff were excellent. The Hostel is situated across from the Central Station in the city centre with a supermarket across the street. You can walk everywhere within the historic centre and the more modern part of Uppsala. I was surprised on how clean the shared bathroom facilities were, since I arrived with very low expectations. I know my room would have no window like most of the rooms. It was perfectly dark to sleep but depressing if you wanted to be in your "cell", don't be claustrophobic if you book here. I did like that after the breakfast finished you could use the cafeteria for work/study or just hang out. I did a zoom course while I was there and was very impressed with the internet speed. The breakfast was good for what I wanted, but don't expect a "Hilton" style buffet - it's simple but very good. Staff was ALWAYS on hand day and through the night should you need anything. There is actually a fully fitted kitchen you can use to make your own meals - I did not. You also have access to a washing machine should you feel inclined to do your laundry while travelling. I brought my own snack and wine and used a quiet corner in the cafeteria, which the staff said was fine and they encourage you to use the place as your "home from home".

First of all I would never normally book a hostel nor a room with no window but on this occasion I had no other option. I didn't like that there was no "night lighting" in the corridor. Since you room is pitch black and should you need to visit the bathroom in the middle of the night, the light in on full blast - that could have been set to a more softer light during night hours. Staff were very receptive to my suggestions. Also there could have been hair dryers in the shared bathrooms and some more information on what you could ask for. Staff receptive to investigate some sort of information sheet to stick to back of room door. I didn't like the singel bed. I am a slim person and felt on occasions I would fall out of bed - it's tiny! Less than three feet wide. I managed. It can be noisy due to all the room back on to each other in three corridors of sorts. IF you are unlucky and there are noisy guests, you will be disturbed. I must have been lucky, it was quiet during my week's stay.

Stay was ok. Nice bed and quiet room location.

Breakfast need to be fixed. Pancakes and toast were the only hot things among coffee and tea.

the room

Breakfast was good. It serves the purpose. Short stays are fine. Bathrooms, even though shared, were clean. Near to the central station

The rooms are suffocating. Too small, I am claustrophobic and the room dint help. one of the staffs was not friendly - giving all the info so fast and behaving like she has no time to attend to the customer. For short day- one night its just find to crash but dont plan anything more. Family is a big no.
