Perfect location and such a low cost eliminate most of the negatives. Everything you need is near, a few meters and you are in a bus stop, metro, or grocery store.

Andrei Belarus

Quite clean and check-in was quite efficient. Linen was provided free of cost.

Srujita Finland

It is centrally located in the old Town, within walking distance from most sites - our room even had a view onto the street. You feel safe there and we could even walk to our performance at the Opera House and return late at night. The shared bathrooms was very clean with hot water. A shared kitchen provided all the amenities, you just need to bring your own coffee or tea.

Maya United States of America

We really enjoyed how central this hostel was. Very nice concept with nice staff. they were flexible about our check-in and didn’t give us a hard time for not being able to make it on time. The location was the highlight of our stay. The Hostel was clean and the price was great for Stockholm.

Pierre Germany

Room was clean, new sheets. Location is good- 15 minutes walk from the metro station. Officially, check in ends at 21.00, the staff were kind enough to extend check by 2 hours since my flight was delayed. I think this was a good gesture

Caroline Kenya

Super central, clean and well organized. Basic but perfect for a stay on low budget.

Eliana Denmark

Very nice location, right in the center of the city which helps visitors explore the central area by walking or renting a scouter.

Poupi Sweden

The hostel was the same on the pictures. We received clean sheets and towels. The bathroom was shared but you have your privacy. Very clean! Good value for money, so if you get here to see Stockholm this is the perfect choice. The location is in the heart of the old town.

Robert Germany

Very friendly staff, great location, room was very clean. We will definitely come back next time we visit Stockholm.
