pleasant stay overall, toilets could be cleaner

I had a very pleasant stay overall, the only thing was that some of the toilets had a very bad smell and weren’t always too clean which is probably due to the high number of people using it on a daily basis but this could still be improved in the future

Niceplace in the heart of Uppsala.

Walking distance from Central station, the hostel is close to the city centre and market. Rooms and toilets are clean. Although the toilets are not attached to the dorm, they are adequate. No linen is provided but you can hire them at an additional cost. If you bring your own, you need to show it at the reception.

Expensive, but relative to Sweden, a bargain.

Uppsala is a very small town, but it's quite beautiful. However, I was there for work, so I didn't see much. The hostel is in a very central area, relatively close to the train station, although it'll feel longer depending on the size of your suitcase. The only fault really was the fact that my room was really warm and I couldn't find a way to fix it and the window didn't open. Two of the showers were in the Eastern European style, so you had to hold them, which I find uncomfortable.
