This family-run property offers cottages and rooms with free WiFi and parking. It is a 10-minute tram ride from Gothenburg Central Station. Liseberg Theme Park is within 15 minutes’ drive.

The Kviberg Tram Stop is just 150 metres from Kvibergs Vandrarhem - Hostel. The scenic area around the property provides opportunities for jogging, cycling and relaxing walks.

Everything was absolutely perfect, cozyness, closeness to the center, lovely staff, superclean, and there was awesome music (pop and rock classics) in the shared bathroom. I thought that was a nice touch.

The bright guest rooms at Hostel Göteborg have wooden floors and are furnished with a table and chairs. Some rooms have bunk beds, while others have spring mattresses. All rooms feature windows and a quiet location.

The price of the place was very modest and for the purposes of my visit to the city, I was surprised that the location was not far from a Coop or Willy's and also the distance to the city center was great! The staff was also very polite, cordial, and did facilitate my friend and I very gracefully. It is also near some very good restaurants of various cuisines, so it helped make finding food options much easier.

    Had a lovely little stay here for two nights. It’s in a great location, less than 10 minute walk from the bus and train station with a direct bus to the airport. The room was comfortable, warm, nice hot showers and the included breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of hot and cold food, pastries, juice and hot drinks. All the staff I encountered were lovely and helpful. I felt safe here as a solo traveller. There is a Co op on the corner just a couple minutes walk away which was really convenient to get some snacks.

    The hotel was spotless and cosy. Room was a little small for 4 adults as it had bunk beds but it was clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and helpful, especially Magdalena she was amazing. Super friendly and welcoming and provided us with local information. Breakfast was also very tasty with a good selection. Overall would definitely recommend for a budget hotel in a great location.

    cleanliness and the location of stay. Also accessibility at any time made things better for us. I chose the dormitory kind of room which was though cheap, were less privacy were maintained since unknown persons can be occupied in the same room.

    - Great location and the area seems safe. - Very quiet at night. It's a small hostel. - Willys supermarket is right across the street from the hostel, open until 9pm. - This place is probably best for a stay of just one or two nights, in my opinion.

    We really enjoyed the beds, they were extremely comfortable. Moreover, the hostel and the showers were very clean. The common area and the kitchen were really quiet. We stayed in a room of 4 people and it was very well isolated of sound. Best hostel I have ever been to! Thank you Backpackers Göteborg!!
