    There is shared bathroom which is not ideal. Also the breakfast was super basic.

    The location inside the central train station was perfect. Also there is a kitchen which was very useful when travelling with kids. There is a TV room with some toys also.

    You are expected to clean the room before you leave. Dust, vacuum, wash the floors etc. That’s odd but also doesn’t feel hygenic because you’re not really sure if people before you did it or how thoroughly… Many, many cameras in all the shared spaces.

    Location is great for train nerds. Funny breakfast system with timer locked kitchen cabinets and fridge. Colour of the cabinet lights change when locked/unlocked (breakfast time).

    Unfortunately there were lots of construction around, which complicated moving around a bit, but that was only temporary and not to blame on the hostel. The bed was perhaps the only thing I thought could have been slightly more comfortable, but all in all was really positive experience.

    The place was really well located and the rooms were clean, nicely decorated and cozy. Also the breakfast room was really nice and will supplied. The proximity to transportation was also great when arriving late at night. Talking about that, I was arriving at 1h30am and the directions provided were good enough for a half asleep guy to get in easily.

    Other guests behaved like pigs: hair in the shower, dirty plates and food scraps in the sink etc. Sad when it happens in such a nice place.

    Nice historical building, spacious rooms, atmosphere. There are toys and books in the common room, and a balcony to enjoy morning coffee. Room 216 faces the railway, kids enjoyed watching trains.

    What surprised me is the WiFi being so low and the breakfast tea selection being black tea or black tea. Don't get me wrong I do love caffeinated drinks but not all the time. Maybe I expected the hostel to do something nice after making the error with the room and not being able to fix it before morning but naaah. They said I am sorry and pretended nothing happened.

    The location of the hostel is great. Being at the train stations first floor gives you direct connection for further traveling. The breakfast was decent and the facilities very clean. WiFi was not as strong and even if you need better connection for work there is Espresso house on the ground floor. They don't allow you to leave luggage but there are rentable lockers at the stations entrance. I was expecting the noise from the train arrivals to be bigger but it was ok. There is additional soundproofing window. Rooms are small but have everything you need. Shared toilets and shower sparking clean. It is explained that you need to clean your room before checking out and if not there is an additional charge of 100kr. When we arrived there was a mix-up with single room and double room and I didn't get the double set of bedding and towels even though I booked for 2 people. I have contacted the reception and they have apologized and corrected it in the morning. My arrival was late so I didn't mind it. Self checking in went smooth and easy. Instructions were sent on the day of arrival. I had a really good sleep there. Recommended!

    Tthe only two cons might be 1. It is mandatory to clean the room with vacuum cleaner by yourself 2. There is no lock and no place to put your clothes and towels in woman’s shower room But overall it is still manageable and I’m quite satisfied!

    As a one night stay in Norkopping, I would recommend this hostel for sure! The reason why I chose this was the distance to the train station and the price (490kr), which is definitely the cheapest options in the surrounding cities. The breakfast is fine and all the space is clean and satisfactory

    Because it's located right inside the central station, the walls shook a fair bit when trains rolled past in the night. Also, not all guests seem to respect other people's property in the guest fridge.

    The room was very comfortable and beautiful, the host was very friendly. The communal kitchen is well-equipped and there are many comfortable seating opportunities and a nice terrace/balcony. Centrally located next to great bike and public transit facilities.

    Excellent location, nice hostel.

    The double bed was two singles pushed together - useful to have the flexibility but could have used a locking mechanism to stop them accidentally being pushed apart. The showers could have used more dry places to put clothes as the floor was quite wet. For a one night stay, the cleaning list was a bit much (mopping floors etc), and we didn't have time to clean.

    Very convenient location in the station building, perfect for an early train! Very helpful to get a code to check in any time. Breakfast was a bit limited but adequate. The layout was a little bit odd, but worked, and the whole place felt cosy. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated. Fairly expensive for what it was, but since we booked last minute that was ok, especially given the location.

    There are many things to be improved but thanks to the very nice and helpful lady who works there, everything worked very well at the end.

    Install more toilet facilities, waiting was nothing not nice.

    I did not have any breakfast as it was too complicated. I went to a local coffee shop. It would be better to either organise breakfast or remove it and reduce the cost of the room.
