Skansen Hostel

Great location and price for a private room. You get what you pay for, facilities are run down, and i was checked into a completely uncleaned room (was moved to a clean room without any issue)

Dårlig standard men billigst i byen

Wonderful, comfortable beds.

The hotel is what it is, to a point where it's almost comically charming. Toilets seat strapped with cable ties and graffiti on the bedroom wall. However, for at least two days one of the hallways that also serves as an emergency exit was blocked by a large trolley and different building materials that were stored on the floor. In the (likely) case of an evacuation that's just dangerous and unforgivable.

Rein seng og rein vask på badet. Sentral beliggenhet for oss. Vi har ledd i fire dager av pussige løsninger. Kommer aldri til å glemme disse dagene på dette rimelige overnattings stedet. Med humor innabords og lavhelte sko var det en opplevelse å entre korridorene. Koffertene ble båret opp til rommene av personalet. Nøkkelsystemet var enkelt å forstå. Kommer gjerne igjen.

Nothing worked properly. Dirty room with no or only very little clearing. The Windows almost fell out of the frames. The staff was unfriendly/arrogant. No service what so ever. A really bad experience.

Skittent og nedslitt.

Dårlig renhold - glassbiter i sengen - ingen som helst såpe -løse fliser på badet - oppheng dusj var knekt og TV virket ikke osv.

Heilt ok, billigst i byen så forventer ikke så mye. Litt skittent gammalt å nedslitt

There is no wi fi. There is a TV in the room but it does not work. Why is it there? There was someone’s garbage (tampon and q tips) left in the toilet bin when we checked in. The place was not cleaned thoroughly. The showerhead was messed up, it just spewed water at you. Again, no wifi in the rooms. In one of the hallways it smelled like sewage. The building is pretty decrepit itself from the outside and needs to be torn down. Not suitable for a even a hostel. Nobody at the bar when check in supposedly is, at 5pm. I had to go to a neighbouring hotel and ask to call the hostel as I did not have cell service for someone to come to the next door bar where check in is supposed to be. There is no reception except the bar next door that doubled as reception but they do not seem to know much about the hotel or the surrounding area. The toilet flusher button was a nail in the wall that you had to push to flush, there was no button. If you need anything extra you have to call a specific phone number and as I did not have cell service this meant that I could not request anything. Like I said, this place needs to be torn down as it is not suitable for even a hostel. The photo of the hostel on the website is not the building that the rooms are in. The rooms are in the white building adjacent, with the paint coming off, next to the Victoria hotel. Do not be fooled by the false advertisement. The photo of the red brick building is the top of the bar where the check in is, not the hostel.
