Affordable, bed was comfortable, easy access to the showers and toilet. I also like how near it is to the ferry terminal. I am just disappointed the lamp by the lower bunk in Cell 27 was not working, and the wall outlet is a bit far from the beds.

Bra i sin helhet, men utslag är inte okej.
Dålig ventilation på rummet , men man får väl såklart vad man betalar för och det gäller de allra mesta. Men att det känns som att det är nå djur eller liknande i täcket och både jag och min partner vaknade upp med konstiga röda märken på fötter och ben .

Cool place
Location on harbor was perfect since we took a boat out of Gotland. Cool place with interesting history. We actually never stay at hostels and we’re pleasantly surprised about the nice people we met in the kitchen. Well equipped kitchen and ICA grocery store was very near.
Only bad thing was their nonexistent communication and others seem to share the opinion. We tried to confirm that our linen order was ok and ask for the door code since office is manned only 10 am -2 pm and check in starts at 3 pm. We tried to call several times on check in day during the office hours, but no one answered. Our friends in Sweden also kept on trying since we had to go to the airport. That was unnecessary excitement and could be easily corrected. I still recommend it tho.

Intressant miljö! Väldigt varmt i stugorna och svårt (omöjligt) att få tag i personal efter 15.
Ligger perfekt!
