Slottsskogen Vandrarhem Hostel

Overview

For a stay in Gothenburg that’s both lively and laid-back, try staying at Slottsskogens Youth Hostel. There’s something going on almost every day and night, from pub crawls, BBQs and quiz nights to walking tours and picnics. To get involved, chat to our friendly staff at reception (it’s open 24 hours a day). Plus, be sure to pick up a free city map from us to get your bearings when you arrive. When you want a little rest and relaxation (we know travelling can be tiring!), head to our luxurious on-site spa to get your zen on.

Location

We’re in a popular part of the city, with lots going on in our neighbourhood. It’ll take you just over five minutes on foot to get to Slottsskogens Park, where you’ll find museums and cute cafés. The nearest tram stop, Olivedalsgatan, is four minutes’ walk away, and there’s a bus stop two minutes from our front door. It’ll take you just under an hour via public transport (a bus then a tram) to get to us from Landvetter Airport, and Gothenburg Central train station is just over a 10-minute tram journey away.

Rooms and Dorms

All of our mixed dorms and private rooms are accessible by elevator. Our dorms aren’t your average backpacker hang-outs: all of them come with TVs, hairdryers, complimentary bed linen and, of course, free Wi-Fi. There are also storage drawers for your valuables – just bring along a padlock to keep them safe.

Extras and activities

You’ll have access to a fully equipped kitchen, where you could try challenging other guests to a Swedish food cook-off and see who can master the local delicacies first. Another great way to meet people is to head over to our games room or common room. You’ll find a pool table, a vending machine, or your next favourite read in our book exchange.
