Affordable, bed was comfortable, easy access to the showers and toilet. I also like how near it is to the ferry terminal. I am just disappointed the lamp by the lower bunk in Cell 27 was not working, and the wall outlet is a bit far from the beds.

I liked that it was very close to the ferry and the only few things I didn't like was that the bed made very loud creaking noises and the last thing is something a little more personal and that is that I would have liked to have some more directions for where the baggage room was and which way to find the rooms that one was given. But otherwise I had a very good last night sleep in Visby.

Solid hostel in Visby
Overall a good stay. Kitchen felt a bit run down. And if you are tall you will for sure bounce your head in the door damper in the low cell doors. They are mounted so there is a peace of meral sticking out a foot into the room. Luckily i wasnt so tall that I got them in the eye but my forehead took some beatings. But what I couldnt understand is why they have motorbikes inside the halls and saloons as decoration. They take up space, and hinder walking, and the space could be used much better. In addition they look ugly and out of the place. The decision to put them there is the dumbest thing I have seen in any hostel. Otherwise the establishment delivered to expectations.

Korzystałem z kwatery w pòźnym okresie jesiennym. Niestety to już nie europejskie standardy. Zimno. Na materacach włosy. Na parterze jedno wc. Jedno nieczynne. Brak obsługi. Zapraszam do Polski. Zobaczycie dzielacą przepaść jakosci usług hotelowych.

Sämre än att sova på en parkbänk
Billigt sunk ställe med pundare och hemlösa. Hittade insekter i rummet som gick runt på golvet.

Boendet var helt ok. Men borde renoveras lite. Det var lite skabbit på sina ställen. B.l.a köket.
