At the hostel, rooms have a desk and a patio with a garden view. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Snickaren Vandrarhem i Grästorp - Egen Lägenhet - Own apartments also boast a city view. The rooms will provide guests with a fridge. Good value for money. Very well equipped kitchen with everything you need. A nice yard with many fruit plants and toys to have fun with. We were free to pick some berries and apples. A little bit drive about one and half hour to almost all popular sites on the west coast, but considering the price and difficulties finding accommodations on west coast during peak season, it is surely a good choice. We travel as a family of 4 adults and 1 kid. The rooms are very well prepared with 4 single beds and surprisingly an extra folding bed which isn't shown on the room pictures. So none of us need to share a bed. Beds are very comfortable for a good sleep. Definitely come back again.

This hostel is in Karlstad, 5 minutes’ drive from the city centre. It offers functional rooms with access to a common room with kitchen and TV. Wi-Fi and on-site parking are free. Bed linen and towels are not included. It’s a really cosy and quiet place to stay in Carlstad. The lady at the reception is the kindest person I've met in Sweden. The breakfast that she prepared was quite filling as well. The place has a big kitchen and lots of utensils at your disposal. The rooms and lavatories were extremely clean. You can use the public transport or you can just walk to reach the hostel. I personally walked and it’s a walkable distance from the city center. Make sure to bring your own sheets or you can just rent them at the reception. Overall 10/10
