Helsingborg Hostel

Clean and dirty. Broken beds, untidy in the room and a public kitchen that was dirty and lacked cutlery, plates and glasses (what was available was dirty), surfaces that had not been cleaned in a long time, lamp buttons brown with dirt and a microwave that was so dirty that it could not be used. The elevator was broken and the stairwell was shabby and dirty. Lamps that did not work in the common areas. Would not recommend this Hostel to anyone.

In this case the well known saying is true. Cheap price means cheap facilities and even more cheap service. Awkvard layout with few and far between showers and even less toilets is one thing. After all, that is partially evident from the description on the web-site and kind what can be expected from a hostel set-up. But poor cleaning - and even poorer service from management could not. Unfortunately I had to complain to the managers about disturbing noice from the old used fridge/cooler in my room. It started making noice during the night and prevented me from sleep. Sleep which is essentially what you pay for and at least expect to get. The response was rude and no appology given. Stay here if you like. But you should know its not comfortable, walls are paper-thin between the small rooms. And if your sleep is disturbed by screeming ventilation or squeeking coolers? Tough luck - ” thats your probem not ours” is the reply you’ll have! I for one will never return.

This hostel was located not too far from the train station. I had some instructions on how to access the keys and the codes for doors. The instructions were easy to follow. The bed was really comfortable. The room had a table and a chair, which was ideal for working on. There was also a small fridge which was perfect! I went to bed late, and found that there wasn’t any bedding on the duvet, however it was too late and I was too tired to do anything about it. There were plenty of bathrooms to use. The kitchen was busy, but there was enough space for everyone. There was also plenty of seating. The staff were really friendly, and gave me a map and told me where to go. However, they could only store luggage for a few hours which was a slight inconvenience. Maybe they could get a room for luggage in future?
