REALLY EXPENSIVE, do not worth the money.. not good for meeting people, looks more like an hotel. They charge you that much and even the internet is paid! 6 euro an hour!

Such a cute little hostel!! The rooms have a TV which is nice for a little noise while you get ready. The breakfast nook is very comfortable and they always have out coffee and tee all day long! The staff is very helpful with giving info and directions.

Very good and romantic place to stay. It is like a hotel but the breakfast is not included (90 SEK) and you have to clean the room if do not pay for it. I recomend to rent the bikes (150 SEK/DAY). We will come back.

Neighbourhood is interesting as more Swedish than tourist.I would stay here again.close

Die "Zellen" sind sehr hübsch und sauber und verfügen über ein großes, eigenes Bad! Auch das Frühstück (Aufpreis 90.-SEK) war sehr reichlich und lecker. Leider hatten wir nicht genug Zeit den Strand, der direkt vor der Tür liegt zu genießen, werden das aber auf jeden Fall beim nächsten Mal nachholen. Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Hostel!close

This is a great place to stay and it's very nicely done. The staff always go above and beyond to help you with travel information etc. Breakfast is 90Skr so I'd use the guest kitchen and make your own breakfast. Very clean and a beautiful location. Never have I seen a hostel as nice as this....

The BRUNCH was great, lots of variety...only wish you had Norwegian brown cheese. Was nice to have bikes to rent and nice break from all the walking we did. The location is quiet and secluded and the walk from town along the river with all the old boats is interesting as well. Thanks for a nice stay..will definitley recommend to othersclose

The location for this was really neat. Staying in a converted prison was different. Its not got the feel you would expect from an old prison, yet still seems a bit historic as there is also a museum inside

Instead of going to a museum, you can just sleep IN a museum! Staff was great, very professional, and location isnt a huge problem- just 2 blocks from the metro. We easily rented bikes and toured the trendy areas. I would definitely recommend this place!

I very highly recommend this hostel. Its quaint, on a nice island, close to a subway stop, and just an all around great place to stay. Our last night in Stockholm we had to switch to another hostel because they were fully booked, and we were all sad to leave Langholmen

Signage to find hostel could've been better...a couple of english translations would have been useful. Food excellent - fantastic choice at breakfast. Room small but comfortable and very clean. Quiet. Not what I'd expect from the word 'hostel' - hidden gem!

My conference was at Stockholm U (on the same underground line as the hostel), and I enjoyed my short walks to and from the Hornstull station. My teenager got up on her own time and explored the city. She had no problems and loved the freedom...in fact, she's probably spoiled by the experience seeing as there aren't many hostels I can recall being as convenient and comfortable.close

Clean, the prison theme was nice. Staff was a bit unclear about certain things, and I was charged for something before I knew it. Certain things are different than hostels in other cities but nonetheless a good stay. Not too close to metro but within walking distance.Definitely not that much fun.
