Dream - Luxury Hostel

Perfect location and the room was nice

Dream Hostel is located at walking distance of Helsingborg railway station and offers different rooms, all with shared bathroom. The establishment has had it best days long ago. Dream Hostel claims to be a luxury hostel. This is a chutzpa. The owner compares the hostel with an abandoned hut on an inhabitable island. Free Wi-Fi. Service is helpful and friendly. Hostel Dream is popular with low budget travellers. We had a small room at the fifth floor at the yard. The spartan furnished & decorated room had a resonable single bed, desk & chair, fridge, and TV on the wall. No tea & coffee facility, no decent wardrobe, no safe. The shared bathroom had washbasin, shower and toilet. The bathroom was worn-out and not very clean. At ground floor you find the common kitchen and the lounge with breakfast. An acceptable buffet breakfast is served with an OK variety: boiled & scramble eggs, bacon & tomato, bread & toast, butter, yoghurt, juice, preserves, fruit-salad, tea & coffee. We found Hostel Dream a middle-of-the-road accommodation and far from value-for-money. The website is brushed up.

We visited for single night on our trip through Sweden and read general fine reviews for this place which was the reason we booked a room despite the shared baths and rest rooms. The room was fine enough but the toilets were unacceptably filthy. From what I could see they had not been cleaned for days, smelling of old urine. Sprayed on the floors and outside the bowl. Even our 5 year old son refused to go in there. I find it unacceptable that the status of rest room are not somehow supervised and cleaned regularly - COVID or not. We ended up leaving brushing our teeth in a cafè instead. We would never stay here again. It is not that cheap.
