Best place to stay in Umeå.

It's the best place to stay if you are in Umeå. Clean, great breakfast, very comfortable. And the money you put in the room goes back to the kids. It's a win win.

Great value for the price

The hotel is very well located - close to the center and the central station. I stayed in a single room and it was very clean and nice, modern furniture and a comfortable bed. Very clean facilities overall! The staff was very helpful and friendly via email before and also at my arrival. Overall a great place, the only downside are the prices and even thus are quite good for what you get compared to other places. I would have liked a dorm room for those traveling on a lower budget.

Very noisy -- don't expect to be able to sleep

Excessive noise from cars in the street all night. The hotel's solution was to offer earplugs to their guests. Trust me, you are going to need them. But do not expect to be able to sleep since the noise is beyond any earplug on earth. And no breakfast for us, since the breakfast service didn't open until late in the morning -- and we couldn't wait that long before we had to leave, just as many other guests.

Hadde en natt med familien ifm gjennomreise. God service i forkant, og ryddig kommunikasjon. Vi hadde et firemannsrom med to enkeltsenger og en køyeseng. Svært god standard for et hostel å være, og fremstod som helt strøkent. Fellesbad og doer var rene og innbydende. Må få berømme en fantastisk frokostpakke som stod klare til hele familien tidlig neste morgen! Alt i alt et svært hyggelig bekjentskap med Hostelet og kommer garantert tilbake om muligheten skulle by seg. Kan varm anbefales 😊
