Rut & Ragnars Hostel AB

This hostel is pretty good and the lowest price I could find in Malmö. It’s 30 minutes walking from the Central train station. The two managers are absolutely lovely people and this place has the essentials (two kitchens, clean bedding, a laundry room, and multiple bathrooms and showers). However, the hostel is a bit grungy and outdated. For example, my bed’s curtain had fallen off and never been replaced and some shower heads had been unscrewed from the wall making you hold them in your hand to shower. My biggest problem is that there’s no age limit on the guests they accept. I was rooming with people 3x my age who weren’t courteous to the other guests trying to sleep. I was uncomfortable being the only young adult in a room full of 50-60 year olds.  This is not the place for young travelers to meet new people and socialize. However, for a few nights, the wifi is reliable, the beds are comfortable, and the managers are lovely so I could stay here again.

The place deserves better rating, maybe they did some changes because during my visit everything was super clean and well maintained. The stuff were super friendly and helpful and made me feel home.

With limited options of inexpensive accommodation I came here. This hostel was not hard to find from the central station which was nice. To walk every day to find something 'interesting' was a bit of a drag. About 20 minutes from the city centre. The area felt empty, and quiet. The hostel has 2 relatively well-equipped kitchens and small congregation areas in both. The people staying there were very mixed in age, mostly male, but friendly if you wanted to have a conversation or small-chat . The beds were comfortable and the linens were basic. They had lockers that were sufficient if you had smaller luggage, otherwise lock up your belongings. The bedroom (18bed) door was propped open all day every day which was kind of weird. I think I used my pin-code 3 times? Showers were decent as well. I had booked 4 nights well in advance and ended up cutting my losses and left Malmö after 3 nights. It probably would have been more fun with a travel buddy.

Since the price for bunker bed is as low as 220 SEK and my experience of most of the guests has been very good, the cleaning of toilets, showers etc are done each day, the staff is friendly and serviceminded I am happy to give this hostel highest grades.
