For nearly twenty years an old express train from the thirties has been parked on a side track and receiving guests from near and far.
This unique hostel has a total of 36 traditional-style compartments: the sleeping carriages are in their original condition.
The train is centrally situated and surrounded by beautiful parks and former allotment gardens. Lund is well known as a university town, and it’s easy to mingle and enjoy the vibrant street life of its many parks and cafés. There’s a lot to see in Lund, including the town’s culture, cathedral and botanical gardens. Renting a bicycle is a perfect way to explore Lund and its surroundings.

| We are very sad to know this hostel will be close at the end of the summer because of the construction nearby the train station. We really appreciated the staff and the location...just perfect. | ||

| I enjoyed my stay here. The staff were very kind and helpful, and the place was meticulously clean. I wouldn't recommend it for business travelers, however. I was attending a conference and found some of the hostel policies to be inconvenient. For example, check in only occurs from 5-7pm. Since I arrived on an early morning flight, I wasn't able to get into my room and rest/prepare for the conference for over 10 hours.
Also, all guests must leave the hostel between 10am and 2 pm, which means that it isn't possible to stop back at lunch time to catch a nap or grab a computer. | ||

| I did not like at all this hostel. The beds are eally small, there is not enough place for 2 people in each room (if it can be called like that) and it is extremely expensive for such a bad hostel. Besides, hot water is not included!! I will never recomend it, moreover, I will advice people not to go there.
Please, to the stuff of the hostel, change it!!! You will run out of clients | ||

Wifi and normal electricity only in the public area.
1 SEK for 2 min hot shower. | ||

| The check-in time was from 5pm till 7pm. We arrived at 4.55 and weren't allowed to check-in. We had to wait outside till it was 5 o'clock. The rest of the stay was fine. It was kind of funny to sleep in a train. | ||

| All these categoreis are not suitable for this special kind of youth hostel. It is an old railway train - and it is really extraordinary and gorgeous.
It is such a pitty that it is planed to close next autumn.
Hope, there can be found a solution to extend it. It is worth to be protected. The town would loose one of its highlights!!
A very cosy and pleasurable place to stay. And the staff is extremely friendly!! | ||

| OK and fun for younger guests - but railway carriages a bit cramped for us older ones! | ||
