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. www.salsapower.com has the best information about salsa dance clubs.

The travel cost below was estimated for 2012.
RyanAir release their tickets about 7 months before departure. 419 SEK each way was the lowest price we found on their web site for direct flight from Gothenburg. It makes 838 SEK but with taxes it becomes 1.256 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. You most likely need 20 kg on a bath holiday. There is also an extra administration cost including booking on Internet with a credit card. The total cost after all additional costs is 2.013 SEK, or in other words approximately 2.4 times the original flight cost.
There isn't unfortunately any good alternatives to RyanAir's direct flights.
Another alternative is AirBerlin but then you have one stop on your way there and another stop on your way home. Each way has a total flight time of 7-8 hours and the total cost is 1.849 SEK. You get the best price if you book your tickets well in advance. They release their tickets 10-11 months before departure.
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.

Double room ensuite (cost per person): 324 SEK
( Price for July from Hostel World 2012-02-23 )
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.
Couple: 2.013 + 200 + 7x324 SEK = 4.481 SEK
