This month I have stayed in all the low-cost youth hostels in Gothenburg, so I take this opportunity to comment on them all. It is just my personal opinion, so it is for reference only.
But there are two things they have in common, that is, none of them are really close to the University of Gothenburg, and none of them have lockers with locks.
1. The most cost-effective youth hostel is STF. (The most important thing is that they open the door directly during working hours and do not lock the door. You can check in manually on the left hand side after entering. This is the only one like this. For others, you need to get the access code or password in advance. You have to ask through the intercom at the door, which is very troublesome) Although the price is occasionally not the lowest, the rooms may be allocated for at least four people and up to eight people. It shows that men and women live in mixed rooms, but when there are not many people, they are basically separated. Only when the room is full It is possible to live together only if you have one, and the kitchen is small but well-equipped. There is a lounge to watch TV. The toilet is a toilet, and there are separate showers and a three-person shower room separated by a curtain. The nearby supermarket is very close. Look at the Santa ship, and behind it is the Gothenburg Church. It takes five minutes to walk there. Stand high and overlook the scenery. Finally, they are free sheets and linens.
2. Gothenburg Backpacker Hotel and Slottsskogens are two brands of the same company, that is, check-in and check-out are done at the same counter, but the floor and room type are different. The breakfast and kitchen are the same. The kitchen is okay, a little It's big, but not tidy, and it's also a mix of eight or six people. Because there are so many people, it's uneven. The toilet and shower are in the same room. The two youth hostels go out and walk north to the Linne Hotel. Opposite the hotel is Linneplatsens. These four families are all together. The only advantage is that it is very close to the back mountain of Gothenburg, a five-minute walk, and the Gothenburg Natural Museum is free. Finally, their bed linens are also free.
3. The Gothenburg Hotel is on the east side of the city, one stop south of Lisboa Playground. The access control is on the first floor. If you have no way to enter, you can only wait for others to open the door and follow. The only shopping around is the expensive Co-op supermarket, and there is nothing around except an amusement park, but two or three stops north is the Gothenburg Museum of Art, which contains Van Gogh's paintings. There is a charge for bed sheets here, because there are so many rooms, and a curtain is provided on the lower bunk, which is quite private, but there are many people, and there are many eight-person rooms, with separate toilets and separate bathrooms. The kitchen is okay, small and messy.
4. This Linnaeus Hotel is owned by a private owner. It feels similar to a youth hostel and a small train station hotel. Unless its single rooms are so cheap that they are the same price as the youth hostel shops, otherwise, I really don’t recommend it. Otherwise you might not even be able to get in. There's a reason they have low ratings. The single room I stayed in was cheap, even cheaper than a bunk room, so I had to endure it for two nights. The kitchen was completely unusable, there were not enough kitchen utensils, the toilet was poor, and the bathroom was okay.
5. Gothenburg Mini Hotel, it feels somewhere between a train station hotel and Home Inn. The oven in the kitchen is basically broken, and the kitchen utensils are almost only plates. If you can't live with it, don't live there. Because toilets and bathrooms are also shared.
Of course, in addition to the above youth hostels and hotels, I also stayed in a hotel, which is a hotel in our domestic sense. It provides a rich breakfast and has all kinds of things, except for some without a refrigerator. There is no public kitchen in the hotel. Of course, there are no public toilets and bathrooms. They are all in your own room. Because after all, the price is there.
So to sum up, if you want a low budget and have trouble-free communication, and you are bold and careful, stay in a youth hostel. Of course, some people will chat, and some will not. If you think you have some budget for a trip and want to be comfortable and eat well, choose a cheap hotel.
The writing is a bit messy, if you have any questions I will answer them separately.
