Skansen Hostel

Worst, super expensive, no service staff available when needed, unkind, no elevator, loud bar music at night. Absolutely not recommendable.

When I arrived, the provided PIN code did not work on the door panel, and no one responded to the doorbell. A note on the entrance door directed me to the bar next door, but the bar was closed and had no staff present. When I tried calling the phone number listed, I reached a voicemail that referred me to the hostel’s website. Due to the situation, I had to book accommodation at another location. Approximately 40 minutes later, I received a call from a representative of the hostel. I explained the circumstances, and the person apologized, assured me that the issue would be resolved, and stated that my payment would be refunded. However, to date, I have not received the refund.

This hotel is in a great location- walking distance to port, restaurants/shops, etc. It is not a fancy hotel, as evidenced by the good price. It was clean, they changed our towels daily, and took out our trash. I know others complained of noise, but we did not experience that. Check-in was simple- how to enter the hotel and get our key was texted to me and it was super easy. It’s a small room with 2 twin beds, tv, 2 chairs, and a desk/table where I was able to work. There are plenty of outlets for charging electronics. You will need to bring your own hair dryer and shampoo/ conditioner. There is bar next door. We were happy with our stay, especially for the price!
