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.

    This place is definitely the best choice for someone who is visiting Uppsala. It’s located in the centre of the city with many bars and restaurants around. In addition, the hostel is small and very clean. The owner is a kind guy who is 100% willing to help. I was lucky enough to be alone in the 4-bed room, so I couldn’t know what it would be like with roomates here. The kitchen is well-equipped and clean as well. And also, the most important thing, I felt safe and secure all the time, considering that I was staying here alone.
