Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It is as Swedish it can be. Close to the hostel is a homestead farm (museum) with a café, though even the hostel didn't serve breakfast, the café dit. It was also not too far away from supermarkets

    Great location, quite and not noisy, though in the very heart of the town, nice to have a terrace. Very good breakfast - almost everything you can imagine, very good bread, just may be more fruit could be a good idea.
