Hostels have different accommodation alternatives such as private rooms for one, two or several persons beside the dormitories with different number of beds. Many hostels have special dormitories only for females. Some rooms are specified as 'ensuite' which means that they have their own bathroom and not a shared bathroom.
Travel Help has only specified one or two of the accommodation alternatives the hostels have. We use hostels since we think that it is a much nicer alternative compared to hotels. The hostels we use have high ranking and many reviews so you will feel at home and it is easy to get to know people from all around the world. We think that, if available, 8-bed mixed dormitories are nice if you want to get to know other people. Use the Hostel World link if you prefer other alternatives.

The location of the hostel or hotel is very important. The ideal location is of course within walking distance to nightlife, close to tourist attractions, close to shopping, close to the beach and easy to reach from the airport. Many times you have to prioritize since there are no hostels or hotels with high ratings which are close to all of them. Travel Help prioritize high rating hostels which are within walking distance to nightlife. The reason is of course that during the day you can always travel by bus or subway. After midnight you usually have to walk or take an expensive taxi.
Extensive information about nightlife areas and nightclubs will be published here in the future. You will have a map where you can see the locations of all the interesting places, addresses to the good nightclubs with a little information about each of them. We will inform you about the clubs which are most popular and also some information about clubs for people over 30. Nightclubs open and close and it is therefore difficult to have all information up to date. You will therefore get web addresses to the clubs so you can check if they still are alive.
While waiting for the information to be published here you have to find it yourself on Internet. Search for ‘cityname’ and ‘nightlife’ on www.google.com.

A really good site is www.londonsalsa.co.uk. They have also a map.
The travel cost below was estimated for Month in 2012.
It is not possible to keep all costs up to date. The source and date are therefore specified in parentheses for each cost.
( Internet YYYY-MM-DD / Guidebook name & publish date / Travel YYYY-MM-DD )
Be aware of the fact that real prices can be almost twice as much as those specified in guide books.
RyanAir release their tickets about 7 months before departure. 139 SEK each way was the lowest price we found on their web site for direct flight from Gothenburg. It makes 278 SEK but with taxes it becomes 451 SEK. You have to pay 421 SEK extra if you want to check in a 15 kg suitcase and 631 SEK if you want to check in a 20 kg suitcase. 15 kg will probably be enough for a long-weekend without bath. There is also an extra administration cost including booking on Internet with a credit card. The total cost after all additional costs is 998 SEK, or in other words approximately 3.6 times the original flight cost.
Norwegian has also direct flights from Gothenburg to London-Gatwick. They fly from Landvetter and the total price is 821 SEK.
Palmers Lodge
8-bed mixed dorm ensuite: 264 SEK, 352 SEK (Friday and Saturday)
9-bed mixed dorm: 550 SEK, 616 SEK (Thursday), 726 SEK (Friday-Sunday)
The 9-bed mixed dorm is probably the very nice double beds. Check with hostel. Price is then probably for two persons.
( Price from Hostel World 2012-01-XX )
We have calculated with a maximum cost of 200 SEK as a general transfer cost between airport and hostel for all our weekend journeys. It is more or less always correct unless you take a taxi which are more expensive.
Activity, for instance tour:

1 XXX = ??? SEK
Single person: ??? SEK
Couple: ??? SEK
