This hostel is across the street from Umeå Central Station, 100 metres from Norrland Opera House. Guests have access to free WIFI, multiple well-equipped kitchens, a laundry room, common living room as well as a bicycle storage room.

Nice and clean structure. Rational spaces, including many common areas. Due to early departure breakfast was prepared in a bag for easy pick up at 4.30am :-) Kind staff

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.

    Great location. The room was small but cozy and the view was stunning. For breakfast, expected more vegan options, but big + that they had vegan waffles so I gave them big 10/10.

    It was clean, easy to manage all spaces. I got the room just outside the room, comfy sofas, good location. It was over-all a high standard place. I have never been at a hostel before. Just great.

    Highly recommended. Very friendly and helpful owner who does everything for his customers. Breakfast and dinner were included during our stay which was good. Great location, right beside highway E4, convenient for commuters to have a stopover.

    I liked the small gym. For obvious safety reasons there weren’t any heavy weights but I made it work with what was there. The breakfast was good and there was plenty of it and I didn’t feel like it was going to run out. The room and bathroom were very clean.
