The 6 bed room was not particularly nice, it was very stuffy and not a lot of fresh air circulation. The one bed cabin was really lovely, a really lovely room.

Staff were excellent, spoke perfect English and always happy to help. Free internet usage in the room made planning nights out so much easier. Given the price there could be no complaints whatsoever, absolute bargain! I would recommend this hostel to anyone planning a trip to Stockholm.

GREAT place to stay! very comfortable doubles, very good kitchen in the basement, very good breakfast! It was wonderful to have TV/PC in the room. Staff really friendly and helpful. I recommend it to everyone - Young and not so young! the four of us LOVED it!

No yelling in the floors or so. You got a chance to rest properly if you feel like it, but at the same time you are close to the centre to experience the vibrating citylife. For a reasonable amount of money you get a good breakfast which I can truly recommend as it is way better than an average "hostel breakfast".close

Breakfast was poor. For less than what've paid I got it much better breakfast in Oslo at Thon. Ventilation was bad, I was in the down floors,which means .. no windows. I will never come back again to that place.

When you ask for an extra bed, you're just given a mattress on the very floor, which is really discusting... Breakfast costs 60 Kr. If you take a taxi from the airport, they have the fixed price printed on them, depending on the quality and size. We found one for 450 Kr. ( 4people)

Depending on which type of room you choose a little expensive, but considering high prices in general in Sweden and the perfect location, the price is quite fair. All in all: I love the location. Walk 10 minutes south and you've reached a very big park at the water with nice and big beach. Next supermarket two minutes away. Next t-bana 5 minutes away and from there on direct connection to two of three t-bana and only two stops away from central station. Great place, if you want to see a lot of Stockholm. Also the free kitchen is quite nice and big enough (even though I wouldn't recommend eating dinner at 8 pm, because that's the only time the kitchen was full) Renting a fridge is very nice and only 2€ per stay. I'm sure you'll like it.close
