Big hostel that you reach through a big street and muddy pathway. Showers not clean, and some mattresses blood spotted. Showers and rooms need refresh. Kitchen is nice and clean. Internet is 10 sek for 10 minutes. Breakfast is an additional 70 sek. ++ sauna is great, and the hostel is just at... more Big hostel that you reach through a big street and muddy pathway.

Breakfast is an additional 70 sek. ++ sauna is great, and the hostel is just at the beginning of a large park along the water with garden houses in the hills, perfect for a morning walk or jogging, weather permitting.close

We had a simple room but it was clean. Only the price was high. (i stayed in a Youth hostel in Belgium for 14 eur and breakfest 3 euro ( 4persons in one room) There was no more price for not-members.

It wasn't clear that only members with a youth hosteling inernational card paid the price on internet.We had to buy the card or pay more for the room.. There were a lot of extra costs, like sheets, towels. we had a bunk bed!! we couldn't find that on internet either.. very very small room

Not a bad set up really, but alot of hidden costs, like sheets and a ridiculous cleaning deposit. Not much of an atmosphere, or alot of information about where to go in Stockholm for tourists or even a decent drink. Would not recommand it for people on a short visit, because you'll spend most...

We had a wonderful stay in this hostel, especially the staff was very polite and helpful. The only thing to improve is the cleanliness in the showers and toilets.

Calm and quiet, location nevertheless far from the old center. Good breakfast buffet for 70k. There's a nice pub cafe too, where you can meet others people. Showers unlockable, just with a shower curtain. You don't have to be shy!

It was a great hostel, just a little further out of town than most backpackers want maybe? But it was quiet, secure and clean, I'd stay again! Lots of extra facilities as well (kitchen, lockers, internet, laundry, cafe, bike hire...)

Very nice and clean. It's not a party hostel but with nice and friendly people. Has a big kitchen and clean bathrooms. The distance to the underground is acceptable, around 400 mts, which is around 2 stops to the center.

This hostel was very family and school group orientated (as have been a lot of YHA hostels we have stayed at). It lacked the atmosphere of a hostel and felt more like a family getaway. Also they made you pay extra for EVEYRYTHING... breakfast, sheets, a key to the fridge!!! The rooms were small... more This hostel was very family and school group orientated (as have been a lot of YHA hostels we have stayed at).

The Hostel is quite nice. The dissappointing things were extra payment if you are not a member of smth, + payment for linens, towels and especially for breakfast.The breakfast is poor and isn't worth of payed money. Conclusions is that you have to pay more than you expect from the Hostel.

Hey there, I loved my stay in your hostel, clean, friendly etc. Only thing is the bar was a little expensive for drinks. Also, I have never been charged for bed lined before, every other country supplies linen. So I was a bit shocked at that. But I did enjoy my stay and staff were most helpful... more Hey there, I loved my stay in your hostel, clean, friendly etc. Only thing is the bar was a little expensive for drinks.

Describing the location of the hostel via 103 Hornsgatan makes it hard to find because of the distribution of street numbers there. When you come from the Tunnelban, you are directly at no 104, so you wouldn't directly imagnie no 103 to be 10 minutes walk at the other side of the road.
