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.

Rummet er kun til EN person!!!! - Ingen plads mellem sengene - Man skal ud på gangen for at få plads til at tage tøj på. Her forkert at kalde rummet for dobbelt rum. Utætte vinduer og der kommer regn ind . Der er ingen kroge til tøj på baderummet/toilettet + ingen hylder eller kroge. Køkkenet ekstremt beskidt, køleskab kan ikke lukkes ordentligt. Generelt meget nedslidt og det må være meget utilfredsstillende for personalet at stædda/ rengøre. Måske en trend men alle flader burde males og vinduer pudses.

Undermåligt boende för ett acceptabelt pris.

Okej för att stanna en sen natt till en tidig morgon, men det finns tyvärr flera faktorer som drar ner betyget, främst att faciliteten känns ofräsch och behöver upprustas. Ytterst lite ansträngning hade krävts för att uppgradera faciliteten. Priset kompenserar något, men borde ärligt talat vara ännu billigare med tanke på nästintill obefintligt underhåll/ omkostnader. In/ utcheckning är smidigt, vilket är tacksamt om man endast sover här en natt, vilket är det enda jag skulle rekommendera om man anländer sent med färjan. Kontakt med personalen brukar vara väldigt svårt, fick svar på 1/2 mail. Oklart ang. parkeringsplats. Sängarna är dåliga och madrasserna har fläckar/ bör ersättas eller rengöras med textilvårdsmaskin.

安く済ませるならよし、クオリティ重視ならなし

とにかく安く済ませたい方以外にはおすすめできません。 まず、宿泊日当日にメッセージが来なかったため建物のコードが分かりませんでした。 建物に入った後、鍵を手にしましたが、部屋のドアが鍵を使っても空きませんでした。 そのため、スタッフ不在の時間だったので電話をかけましたがかからず、このアプリでオペレーターに相談しました。その後また同じ番号にかけるように指示をされたので、かけるとかかりました。事情を伝えるとスタッフの方が駆けつけてくださり、ドアを開けてくださいました。 (結局ドアの建て付けが悪かっただけで、力強く押せば開きました) 水場が違う建物にあるため、トイレやシャワーの時は雨の中移動しなければなりませんでした。
