excellent location only minutes away from central station and major tourist attractions. a safe and charming neighborhood in the heart of gamla stan made it easy to enjoy the streets at all hours. the staff are friendly and helpful. a perfect hostel if you want a quiet place to sleep.

Location is perfect, but the hostel seems to be more suitable for +50 year-old-people. However we enjoyed our stay. If having fun is not your priority, this hostel is one of the best places to stay in Stockholm.

The location of the hostel was excellent, in the middle of old town, between many restaurants and bars.

Excellent location - short (15min) walk from the train / bus station and right in the middle of the old town. Very clean. Note that the reception hours are very, very limited. If you're going to stay here - irrespective of what time you're getting in - ask for the door codes!!!

good hostel. we were 4 in the room, it was a bit small, and we had washbowls just outside our door, really noisy. the guy at the reception is great though. it's a bit expensive, you can find cheaper hostels jut a bit further. otherwise the location is great, just in the middle of the old city,...

The staff were friendly and the location was great. Free internet is a definite plus in such an expensive city. A common room of some sort may have made it easier to meet other travelers or hang out after a day in the city.

The streets were just a bit noisy at night and sleep difficult to find. Normal for a saturday night, I guess.

The location was unbeatable. This place is exactly what I think of when I think of a hostel, nothing too nice but not gross, just average. No room to hang out in really, but great for the location and maneuvering the city.

The only thing we would have needed was longer opening hours of the reception. However the staff was very flexible and accomodating in all other aspects but the registration time.

I'm not sure where the photos on the website were taken but our group had 4 rooms between us and none of ours looked anything like the photos! The location was great but it was extremely noisy as there was a nightclub under the hostel. Not only was there the noise of people leaving the club but then the next morning there was the noise of the rubbish and bottles being collected.close

A single female traveller, I wanted somewhere to stay that was secure and safe, and this place was perfect. The location is fantastic, with everything within walking distance. A great hostel, which I would definitely recommend.

Putting the envelopes in the hostel for the late comers to check in is very clever, but there should be more instructions for the visitors (i.e the door code and the location of the envelope containing the keys)
