This Stockholm hostel is in a quiet area by Tantolunden Park, in the vibrant district of Södermalm. It offers a restaurant, 2 communal kitchens, as well as free pasta and a free public internet computer.

The hostel was surprisingly really nice and it exceeded our expectations. We had a really nice stay there. It does not feel like an hostel and the location by the sea is amazing. We were 3 friends in a bedroom of 4 and we did not have anyone else in the room. The hostel offer 2 options for breakfast and the outside terraces are really peaceful to eat. The kitchen is big and have everything you need inside.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The room was beautifully designed and very comfy. I had a little reading nook by my window and considering I booked one of the cheaper options available it did not feel like a budget room at all. It really felt like a lot of care was put into everything. Activities were always available, almost like a hostel atmosphere but with ten times the luxury. Honestly, it felt like the hotel itself could be a tourist attraction! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location is a two minute walk away from T-centralen so super handy!

    great value for money, the location is superb - one bridge away from the old town, on beautiful Sodermälm island. for a price of two bunk beds in big hostel room you get a cosy private cabin for two right in the heart of the city 😍 also there is a kitchen, which is a salvation for budget tourist

    I hesitated writing a good review, because it feels like I discovered a well-kept secret. Totally worth the cheap price, set in a wonderful location, close to the center, in peaceful surroundings, and a standard that is worthy of upmarket hotels, yet with the affordable price of a youth hostel. Friendly staff too. We'll definitely be back.

    Great hostel, with a really convenient location, 5 min walk from the Central station and Arlanda express and not far from the touristic spots. . The 4 people room is basic but clean, with two bunk beds and 4 lockers. The hostel is mostly quiet and in a safe zone (had no issue walking alone at night as a girl). I loved also the sauna that is perfect after a full day walking in the cold weather! The staff are always available 9am-8pm or via Whatsapp.

    I had an amazing stay at this youth hostel in the heart of Stockholm. The location was perfect, right in the city center, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The hostel itself was clean and cozy, with a great atmosphere for meeting fellow travelers. I especially enjoyed the common area, which had a warm and welcoming vibe. If you're looking for a budget-friendly and enjoyable place to stay in Stockholm, this hostel is a fantastic choice!

    Great location, ambience, beds had mini shelves and curtains for privacy. WC and showers were clean, hairdryer provided, Wi-Fi included and good speed, kitchen facilities were good, luggage storage was very convenient. Hostel is on third floor with each room having key code. There was elevator so going up or down wasn't a problem. Rooms felt safe and secure.

    Hostel rooms are inside the museum part of the complex. I had booked one bed in the dorm, but got a small room with one bunk bed so it was private 👍. Everything was clean and good. Really original atmosphere and Långholmen island is a nice break from city noise. I recommend to include the hotel breakfast. It was fairly cheap and very good.
