Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location within walking distance to Central Station and most attractions. Many restaurants and cafes nearby. The room is spacious, comfortable, clean, and safe. Staff are very friendly and responsive, great team. Free flow of coffee and tea all day long. The breakfast was great with adequate choices. Definitely value for money and highly recommended.

    Incredibly friendly staff, let me check in 2h before official Check In hours, and helped me find a supermarket also up for a chat- very friendly and helpful over all. Free ear plugs in the dormitory were also great. Kitchen is all right and the bathrooms are very clean though there is a slight smell of chlorine after cleaning. Overall a cool hostel that I‘d be happy to stay again at :)

    I stayed at this hostel for a total of four nights as part of my solo trip to Sweden. The location was quite convenient and the staff were very friendly, but the rooms and toilets could be slightly better. Although without no doubt, the value for money for the stay was definitely reflected in the price and very much above the average. I'd highly recommend this place if you are looking for a budget option to stay in Malmö, this is very much a solid alternative to a pricier hotel stay.

    Great location just near the station (you can actually exit the platforms on the quayside nearest the hote). Lovely rooms. Great view. Comfy beds. We loved it. Easy to visit Copenhagen for the day on the train. Costs around 25% cheaper in Sweden than Denmark.

    Affordable accommodation and only proper hostel in Malmo, located not so far away from the city centre than it looks like on the map. Safe to go on foot at night. The co-owner Rut was very kind and attentive. The 18-bed dormitory is huge and has separating curtains every 4 beds, so it has more intimacy and does not feel crowded. Free coffee and tea
