Rut & Ragnars Vandrarhem

There are 2 kitchens! The beds have curtains which add lots of privacy and minimises noise. The location, although a little dodgy, is very quiet and not too hard to get to from the central station (bus goes door to door) The layout of the hostel is quite nice, it has some nice decorations and the furniture (including the beds) looks quite new

The man at reception was very unfriendly when I checked in. He tried to charge me for my booking even though I had already paid (no apologies for making the "mistake" either). Paying an extra 50SEK for bedding seems a little bit much. The bathrooms were questionable, one of them had someone's shavings all over the sink and ground, and in another someone had vomited in the sink. They did clean it up pretty quickly though. There was nowhere next to the beds to store the bags (no space under bed) and some of the lockers (not very big) were broken. Also the light above my bed didnt have a lightbulb lol.

I got BED BUGS bites at this place and the staff was extremely unconcerned with the well-being of their guests. Don't stay here! You also have to pay for sheets +50 which is ridiculous.

Bug alert! I got numerous insect bites during my stay here. I suspect bedbugs - they were far worse than mosquito bites. Won't stay here again!

It is really cheap in Scandinavian terms, but if you stay more than one night, an airbnb room would be a better choice. The price should be calculated with extra 50 SEK to be payed on the spot, if you do not have your own bedsheets.

In London, very close to the main railway stations, this kind of dinginess is pretty common at the cheapest B&Bs, but this is the first time that I have seen something like this anywhere else in the world. I am not a MrProper, but here I really felt like touching anything would stick me there for the eternity and beyond.
