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.

Wonderful hostel that is more like a hotel. Perfect location right by the central station and just a short walk from Umea downtown. The breakfast was always fresh and extensive. I especially enjoyed the warm bread rolls and fresh apple juice. When you have to leave early in the morning, they even provide you with a take-away breakfast bag.

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.

    The breakfast was really delicious with a variety of local ingredients. The cleaning of the facilities was one of the best that we met for a hostel. The instructions of how to get in and check in/out were simple and helpful. Totally worth the stay here and it value for money. Lastly, it is located only approx 10min from the bus station which is really helpful.

    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.
