Nicr place to stay, pretty clean and frienly staff. Good social in the courtyard, but thats more to do with the people than the hostel. Breakfast and Internet is a rip-off, better off going to a 7-11. Would stay again.

The hostel was in a great location and lots of fun, but the showers were cold and didn't drain well.

Security-nothing was locked, entry point not secure..There are small lockers, which you can rent a lock for, but can't fit more than a few things in--not possible to put a bag.

I mean face it, it's not made to be a hostel. Pretty close to underground and supermarket. In a good area, but far from main sites. Breakfast is not worth the 55 SEK unless you take an extra sandwich for lunch.close

It's suitable to travellers who just need space to lay down. Beds and rooms were clean but the bathroom was not good indeed. Only one bathroom was for ladies. The internet was available.

This is not really a hostel at all. It was a lace to sleep, but they are way understaffed, I never saw anyone clean anything. IT was really kinda of gross, and Ive stayed in hostels in some rough places....

The rooms don't lock, so if you're carrying valuables keep them in the lockers in the hallway. It's a school, so the atmosphere is quite different, but it's a really cool idea. If you want to use the lockers you have to bring your own lock though, and sheets are not included, although you can...

Cold water in showers one day. The bed above me almost fell on me while I was sleeping when a boy climbed up to go to sleep. I was a bit awake so I held it and we both left. Quite an unhappy and scaring episode... Kitchen for guests a bit dirty Check-in at 16h and check-out at 10h for me is...

A bit far from the center, best if you take the subway. The hostel is located in a school but very clean, the staff was helpful, open 24h. Ability to put our backpacks into the locker room on departure day while exploring Stockholm was a big help!

We had an ok time here. The shool is in a residential area though and there are not many places to get food. There is a supermarket nearby but the kitchen facility in the hostel consists of 2 microwaves, a kettle and a fridge.

Quite fun sleeping in bunk beds in school classrooms. The showers were in portable units in the playground which felt a bit like a festival. There was a baby sea gull trapped in the front courtyard - We called him "Thor". I hope he's learnt to fly now?

It's in a school, and it's good. Free wireless, but you have to pay for using the Internet machines. The showers are in the yard, but are good.

The staff is not very bright (sent me to the other side of town to wash my clothes while there was a place in the hostel to do so). The showers are outside and once there was no hot water left. There were 40 kids from Africa (spoke French only) who ate all the breakfast buffet if you weren't up... more The staff is not very bright (sent me to the other side of town to wash my clothes while there was a place in the hostel to do so).

Be careful! When you book this hostel at hostelworld, you pay 10% of total cost in advance. When you pay the rest at reception, they would say they didn't get the 10% form hostelworld and tell you to pay the full price! I belived them and paid.

Today when I checked my bank account, both the 10% and the "full price" are gone! Someone try to trick me, either the website or the hostel. Where did my money go? ! About this hostel, you can just expect there is a bed. If you stay in dorm, the door is open the whole day. There are only four ladys shower in a container outside the building. The water was warm though. There were only two microwave oven and a fridge in the kitchen, so you cannot cook. If you want to wash something, either ask the stuff or go to the toilet! Toilet is basicly the only place you can get water. Luckily, swedish tap water is very clean.close
