The helpful staff and big enough kitchen and free pasta! Close to the city centre but still quite a long walk away to the old town. Also very close to the central bus terminal...beautiful reception area and quite clean room.. Clogged toilet bowls and water heater was uncontrollable. It gets too hot... Need to pay for bed linen and lockers are old and dirty..

I only recommend this place in case you have to get to the airport or to the rail station, early in the morning, since it is situated at less than 10 min from the bus shuttle to airport. Otherwise avoid this place if you can. The place stinks with a bad atmosphere. The inside configuration sucks. My room was on underground level. There was a mechanical air flow making noise. The room was really awfull visually, with no window, an horible system of fire extinction on the ceiling, the quality of the bed was bad. The reception desk is really like a 5 star hotel, not like a hostel. But inside the accomodation are bad, the configuration is bad. Shame on the architect. At the underground floor, a common room, with tv and computers is surrouned by the rooms. Which mean you enter or exit you room directly in front of many people, that could be best concerning privacy. Also the entrance of toilets is directly on this common room. This is silly.

The good - Price for 2 person/2 night (sek 1,040) in a six-bed dormitory room. Fee wi-fi Free internet computers for those who dont have their own laptop Free pasta. All you have to purchase is the sauce at nearby market Microwave and fully equipped kitchen (to include plates, forks, pans, etc)! Free sauna use (but I never used it as I was always out) Supermarket 4 blocks away. Shopping and nightlife at Old Town or Sodermalm is a sek100 taxi fare away. THE BAD - Nothing. THE VERDICT - This is a great headquarters. My perfect location would have been around Sodermalm but room prices were not backpackers-friendly.

Great facilities, helpful staff and little extras that make it special like a departures board for flights so you know if yours is on time! Would definitely reccommend.

It is very modern and clean. There are plenty of chances to meet other travellers in the common room. The free pasta is an added bonus. Also there is a fridge for each dorm, so there is plenty of space there. Also, flexible with check out time and allowing guests to hang out in the common area until they need to be at their next destination.

I realy liked this hotel. A pleasant friendly atmosphere. There were a lot of youth people. Rooms were clean and cosy. It locate near to the centre and all sights in Stockholm are not far from each other and centre of cause. And certainly free internet. Sauna is not free all day. The price for breakfast is too expensive. Not every bed is big and comfortable. (But my bed was so)

Cheap and central. Great Internet access and computer access. Tiny tiny shower space. A rabbit Warren of passages and doors, each with a 4-digit code, which changes a lot. Staff were informative, but you have to know the right questions. All guests were young. Need slip-on shoes for moving between parts of the building - no internal access to the kitchen, living area or cafe.

Spacious room with a big window which is a luxury in Stockholm. Comfortable and cozy common areas. I could not sleep at all due to the very thin walls.

Central location receptionists were helpful and cheerful. Although one of them gave me the wrong code to open the door, was easily sorted :) free but unsecure internet They definitely need more cleaning staff. I'm sure everyone hate soiled toillet seats :(.Hostel could do with some repairs - couple of the WC's flush didnt work, latches on toilet doors seemed about to comeoff. False ceiling in room had holes in it , draft of air come through. Window glazing sub par , they day was not too cold but at night the room was a chiller.You have to pay extra for breakfast - but it is not all you can eat , just one sandwidch , juice and a tea for sek 50.

Nice and clean hostel with friendly staff. Location is excellent, as is the big kitchen and free internet. Didn't try the sauna because it's only free one hour in the afternoon (not a time to do it). The organised bike tour was fun, yet we dind't get very far because the tour guide had so much to say at every place we stopped. Why not make the sauna free all day?

The staff are really nice, it is quite well located and it isn't very expensive for Sweden. It has a very nice kitchen and lounge room. I had a hard time to do the laundry (too many people and not enough washing machines). The toilets didn't seem as clean as I have seen in other hostels. The bunk beds are also very noisy.
