The worst thing in this hostal is the lack of toilets. That's really a desaster. Beside that, it is old but clean and the location is perfect! Best regards Carmen Germann

We booked a 10 bed dorm and got a 14 bed dorm. The worst thing was that people from the other dorm had to go through our room.

The worst thing was that people from the other dorm had to go through our room. So you could actually never sleep and were more or less in one room with 24 people. Hostel is not safe because people can come the whole night.so you never know who belongs to your room or not. Many things stolen durring our stay. BUT: absloute fantastic location which makes the other points less grave.close

Very bad sanitary conditions: 2 WCs for 43 people, no WC in the basement, where most rooms are located, room absolute substandard.

Only one toilet per gender is not enough,could make one of the showers in to another one. Door to small dorm could easily be fixed to a quieter one.Very friendly staff !

very loud and only one Toilet for all guests! The 3-bed-rooms are placed downstairs with windows you don't have a view outside which is shown on the www differently. It's too expensive for such bad comfort!

The staff were great but reception is only open during the day. The worst thing was that the doors in the hostel tend to slam very loudly all night long. We were also annoyed that a school group of 33 young girls were staying there at the same time, as they were noisy. The Hostel should not book regular guests when they are having school groups! It is not fair to either group. We wouldn't stay there again.close

Great location, especially with the Stockholm city bike hire right outside the front door and the ferries to the Archipelago. We enjoyed our stay here despite the noisy dorm room.

The location of the hostel was fine, but it is narrow everywhere and when being in the 2 bed room (cellar) we felt like being in an dungeon. The hostel 2Kronor claims the same prices as the Castanea Hostel, but offers less and the price is not justified at all.

The rooms are quiet small and rather reminded us of a former prison cell, but the location is very good and its a clean, calm and nice place to stay for several nights.

They're cool with you arriving in the middle of the night, as and there's no warden to spoil your parties you can make all the noise you like. Downsides; only one toilet for each gender. This is woefully inadequate. Oh, and if you're looking for a quiet stay, this is not the place. There are two dorms, but they interconnect, so all 24 people in dorms come through one very loud door. Probably right next to your bed. Even if your fellow guests are more reasonable than ours, it's still impossible to close this quietly. This, combined with the lack of warden to keep groups under control probably means you'll average about 2 or 3 hours of sleep per night. And, if you tell the warden that your life is a living nightmare they still won't do anything about the problem. Poor service all round. Kitchen facilities aren't bad though.close

Also there is no staff there after 6pm, we didn't have a problem with other people partying in the hostel but imagine it could be since there were numerous signs asking people not to party in the hostel. There was a security guard who I saw once after reception closed at 6pm.close

A hostel jó helyen van, közel a belvároshoz. Mi a pincéjében kaptunk egy 6 ágyas szobát, ami szörnyű volt, szűk és levegőtlen. A konyha kicsi. Mindig sorba kellett állni ha valamit akartál főzni, melegíteni. Ja és kb. 50 emberre 2 WC van egy női és egy férfi...:)kicsit durva.... more A hostel jó helyen van, közel a belvároshoz.
