I was really happy I ended up booking Golden hostel. The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. Even I was arriving quite late in the evening, later than the actual reception hours, it was easy to arrange a later time for check-in via email. Reception person was really welcoming and helpful - he even offered to give me a ride to closest 24h restaurant as there was none open in the walking distance as I arrived so late. What i really liked the place was the attention to details. Everything was clean and nice - not luxurious, but it was clear to me that cleaning and all important aspects were taken seriously in this place. I liked many details about my room as well. The windows were to the quiet inner court and the windows had also good soundproofing, so I was never bothered by the sounds coming outdoors. I think the closest highways just caused some distance humming sounds, but thanks to soundproofed windows, the humming was more like a pleasent and calming than bothering. And what was almost excepionally great, was that there was also sunblocking curtains that you could pull over to windows to block most of the light coming indoors. Soundproofing between the rooms were not that great, but the overrall ambience in the place was quiet and people were respectful to others and did not cause any problems during night and thus it did not bother at all in the end. The shared bathtrooms were very clean and always available when I happened to need them. I really liked this place because it made me feel that the people running this place really cared about their customers by having the most important things right in this place. Also, the area is quite interesting in a sense that it is a classic Stockholm immigrant suburb but felt really safe and peaceful to me. Connections to stockholm city center were superb though, and the train station was less than 5minutes walk from the hostel and it took only like 20 minutes to be in the center so not that bad either.
