The room was located INSIDE the shared bathroom. I mean, you must cross the bathroom to get it. Terrible.

The property is situated in the heart of Old Town Gamla Stan.It is about 5 minutes from the nearest train station. It is in an old building which means that you have to carry your suitcase up a long flight of stairs. The rooms are warm. The kitchen has a microwave, kettle and fridge, and tables to sit at. The lady at the front office is very helpful.

Twin room small but good value.
Our twin room was ready just after 10.am so no problem booking in early. Room, bedding and bathrooms all very clean. Close to restaurants, supermarket and station. Thought it was a great place to stay in the old town.

In the heart of the Stockholm city
I have been in this hostel for four nights and it was nice and quiet. I recommend this hostel as it is situated in central Stockholm, close to tube station. The staff were very friendly and they gave me details about how to use the amenities and reach some places around the city . It’s also a good value for money .

Close to transport
Staff was so informative since it’s my first time to be in europe. Room was fine, clean. The only thing was the shower was on the head part only so i had a hard time cleaning my bums. But overall, it is recommendable place to stay

4/10 Fair

Just adequate,really needs better customer service
The facilities are fine , especially what you pay for , they do not however explicitly speak on their policy on bed linen where its not included and you have to pay for linen and towels, which is a silly policy really. The staff are not good , especially the young lady who checked me in during the daytime , quite rude and moody. Personally i wouldn't recommend it but if you want cheap and convenient it just may suffice.

Go somewhere else
The place charges you for sheets and pillowcases but will not tell you on the website, you need to purchase it there or you will be fined. Was promised a room that would only have 3 other hostile beds but my room had 6 individuals instead.
