Great hostel, comfy dorms close to transport links
Really easy to find right next to the tram stop. The dorm rooms were great, the bunks built in so no wobbling, and each with a curtain across for privacy, individual reading lights and sockets. Ladder was a little uncomfortable/fiddly. The option to rent sheets/towel is good, but not obligatory. Check-in is via key-pad & lock-box but very simple and easy to use. I was able to drop my luggage off ahead of check-in and also leave my luggage during the day after checkout. The lounge and balcony were a nice area to sit in in the evening. I didn't use the kitchen but it seemed well equipped. Communal toilets and showers were clean and only had to queue once. One of the best hostels I've stayed in for a while.

The hostel had a comfortable feel to it. The 15 mins tram ride from the train station was a nice ride where you could see some of the sights to be seen. The kitchen was spacious n opened for long hours. Other guests were co-operative in keeping the kitchen clean n tidy. Check in n out were easy enough.

Quiet Dorm
It's in a nice area of Gothenburg. Nice rooms. I stayed in a dorm room with 7 other guys. Pleasantly surprised that it was quiet and not a party crowd. The bathrooms were okay for a hostel. Check-in is not 24/7.

Would recommend!
Really nice hostel, more like a hotel. Beds were super comfortable and rooms were a decent size. One of the best hostel kitchens I’ve seen, although maybe a bit small if the hostel was full. The bathrooms were nice and clean, there are separate toilet/sink and shower rooms. Location is convinient and near a tram stop. Only negative for me was that the room doors closed super loudly. Overall great stay!

Super easy after-hours checkin process. Common areas including toilets and showers are extremely clean and regularly maintained. The kitchen is spacious well-equipped. The property is within 5 min walk from various bars, restaurants, a good supermarket and the Natural History Museum. This is definitely one of the best properties I have stayed at.

Far from city centre but worth it for quality
The hotel/hostel itself is lovely, very comfortable and quite upmarket for the price. Bit of a distance to a lot of the main city centre, (around 40 mins walk from station) however the area of Haga nearby has some lovely restaurants and cafes. Would recommend if you enjoy walking or if you are confident getting the tram (tram station right across the road)

Waste of my money. Awful stay run by liars.
After booking and paying for a private double room, the room we were given was a 4 bed, bunk bed room! The owners said that the private rooms were full, but we were put in there on our own so it was still "private" so we had to pay the same amount as the double room (which had a TV whereas our bunk room did not). The WiFi was essentially non-existent. The owners were never there apart from when we checked in and checked out. There was no air conditioning which isn't a big deal if you can open windows, which you can't here, so the rooms are extremely hot. Also when we arrived we were greeted with an extra 156kr we were not told was needed to be spent in order to buy BED LINENS and towels. There was also no question of how the stay was when we left. All in all. I would not stay here again.

You have to pay extra for towels and linens. Wifi is not great. Comfortable and clean bed. Atmosphere is bad; feels more like a hotel.

Stayed for three nights - out-of-hours check-in was easily arranged, there are bars a short walk away and the staff were friendly and helpful. Despite being quite small, there is lift access to all floors, plenty of showers and toilets and despite being near a major road, it was quiet too

Clean, Practical, Convenient; Good for All-Ages
I enjoyed my four-nights stay at Linnéplatsens. The botanical gardens and natural history museum are practically steps away. The nearby tram and bus stop will allow you to get anywhere in the city with ease. The hostel is quiet, clean and comfortable. The kitchen facilities are practical and adequate. I saw people of all ages stay here, which I appreciated. I even made a new friend! I recommend Linnéplatsens Hostel.

Happy Stay
Before going had read reviews and the hostel was exactly as described. It was clean reasonably priced. Sheets and breakfast were extra.If your'e not travelling Ryan air then not a problem to bring your own.Breakfast was typically continental it was adequate but should be ordered in advance. Showers spotlessly clean and never had to wait. I would highly recommend this hostel, it is in a very safe part of the city. Beautiful park close by. Thanks for a great stay.

Clean, convenient and cheap
Clean, convenient and comfortable stay had by myself and three friends. The man at reception was possibly the nicest I have ever encountered and very helpful. Beds really comfy, shared bathrooms clean and breakfast basic but sufficient and convenient. For a low cost trip to a gray city I dint think you could do any better. The walk to the centre/bars is safe, easy and about 15-25 minutes depending on route.

We booked a standard quadruple room for 2 of us. When we arrived there was no problem adding our daughter to the booking. They came and made up the sofa bed for her. The room was lovely with views over the park. The balcony was too cold to use but added to the look of the room and made a good fridge. There wasn't any storage in the room other than 3 hooks but when we asked for a hanger, they brought up a hanging rail and hangers. I had previously been put off booking this hotel because of the shared bathrooms, however it really wasn't an issue, there were plenty of toilets and showers on each floor all of which were clean. The hotel was very quiet and we hardly noticed the other guests in the hotel. At breakfast I asked if the muesli contained nuts, which it did. The next day they provided a special nut free muesli for me and soya milk and yoghurt for my husband. The staff were all very helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble. We definitely plan to stay at this hotel again when we are in Gothenburg .
