    Distance to the city center.

    A beautiful building in a quiet and green area, close to the station but a bit further away from the city's center. So I think the hostel prices were correct. Not everything is up to the latest standards but I did not see that as an important issue.

    The building was on the river in an isolated spot - I wouldn't want go walk there alone at night. It was quite institutionalised and notices about trashing rooms. Facilities were jaded and not very nice. My room had full size fridge freezer next to the bed - also something ws dripping from the ceiling onto the bed. Overall - if you can get a cheap price and want a hostel type experience - then not too bad.

    The bed was comfortable and I had someone gret sleep.

    For the entire floor, there was only 1 toilet, and 1 shower and toilet combo. I was lucky it wasn't too busy because otherwise there would have been such a large wait for the shower. The building was old, and things like the window sills really needed some maintainence. The room felt like a shoebox, literally just the bed and a desk with just enough space to open your suitcase before you reached the door

    Great location not too far from the centre. The bathrooms were tidy. It's a charming but rather old building.

    clean, nice, sufficient.. though overpriced for a dorm room advertised as a private bedroom
    • Leisure trip

    • Single Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    My room was advertised as a single bedroom, however when I got there it included three beds and one of them was prepped with linen just like mine which led me to wonder whether someone else would be sharing this room with me. It was late at night, no staff around, and the building though nice was large and eery.. so even though I'm comfortable sharing rooms when I intend to, this time I expected privacy and did end up having it, yet spent the entire time wondering if someone else might enter the room at any moment.

    Only met one staff member, but she was exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful as we navigated google translate together.

    It was low season (end of August). No reception, self check-in and all by myself. I havent seen anyone. The ambiance was off but everything was clean. Make sure to get the wifi password before arriving there in case you need to contact the host and like me, you travel without any network to make phonecalls. They expect you to phone them upon arrival, but I travel without any network so it took 2 locals to help me phone the owner with the phone of someone local, and finally understand how to get in. There is also only one bathroom for the entire level, so I assume it must be busy during peak season.

    Other guests slamming doors or children running the floor up and down early in the morning, but hey, that's people not the Hostels mistake.

    - price and location is good - staff is very friendly and helpful, thanks again to Johanna - breakfast with waffles - rent a bike for 150 SEK per day is fair

    found dirty and wet hostel information sheets left on the table. weird room design - a step inside the room, shaky walls, electric outlets behind the bed.

    Nice looking house. Good location, good kitchen, decent wc and showers. close to the harbor and walking distance to center.

    No reception nor the possibility to have some meals or something to drink. For that you have to go to Halmstad city center, ca. 1km away (but no show stopper at all!).

    Bed sheets and towel were provided, everything was tidy and clean.
