Lovely stay in a nice hostel room!
We had a fantastic stay at Gudhjem Hostel! The rooms were clean and cozy, and the location couldn’t have been better. Right by the harbor and close to the heart of the town. The large courtyard was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Highly recommended for both families and groups of friends!

A great hostel for the A great hostel for the price!price!
The hostel was the perfect base for our holiday on Bornholm. We stayed in a family room with a sea view, and it was wonderful to wake up to the beautiful scenery. The shared facilities were great, and we enjoyed cooking in the communal kitchen. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back!
