There’s no laundry service & strictly no luggage storage so you must pay for luggage storage at Central Station or airport.
3 mins walking distance from metro station, in the middle of Gamla Stan area make it easy to explore the Old Town.

There is no locker in the room that fit a backpack or any kind of luggage, only fit small things and the hostel don’t offer any place to leave the luggage before, during and after the staying. There is no breakfast or space to cook properly in the property. I saw one member of the staff almost ordering a girl in my room to make her bed or she would pay a tax. However, in the profile of the hostel didn’t say that bedding is mandatory and with punishment of high rates.
The location is great, in the middle of the old city. Very convenient to walk to a lot of touristic places. The price is very good comparing to other hostels in Stockholm, but it is a place only to sleep.

Notice that this hostel doesn’t store your luggage and they charge for bed sheets, towels and stuff. I received an email saying I can check-in at 2pm. So I waited somewhere else four hours after getting off the train. But actually there was no one there at the reception at 2pm. Waited 15 mins more. I was super tired at that time. And when checking-out, they kick you out right at 11am. I was running back on a taxi at 10:40am and the staff called me when I was like 100 meters away from the hostel. When I got back to my room, picking up my suitcases, which are already packed, the staff came in and said that I needed to get out in 5 mins, very rude. I was late about only 7-8 mins checking out. I understand their policy, but they can be more polite when kicking out their guests. The private room I stayed is super small that I couldn’t really put my suitcase out. I stayed in an other hostel called Castle House Inn earlier in Stockholm. About the same price, I got a much bigger room-more than twice big. Plus, Castle House Inn doesn’t charge for bed sheets and towels, and they store your luggage after you checked out. The all-gender shower room is pretty weird. You hung your clothes and towel right cross the shower head (no shower curtain and tiny space), so 100% they will get wet. And there is a gap between the door and the frame, which means people outside will see you naked inside. There is a full bathroom on the third floor next to my room, but since there was no sign on the door (but there is a sign for the toilet only bathroom), I didn’t know that I didn’t need to go to the all-gender shower room to take a shower. Overall, very nice location and very clean. But the service they provide is bad. I won’t choose this hostel again, since there are more options that provides better services in Stockholm.
The hostel is clean and located in the old town. Very convenient location.

There was no personnel to talk to, only instructions over phone and envelope with details. No common area except of kitchen, if you're looking for a backpacker vibe, this is not your place.

Would have been great to have some common space in the hostel to socialize with other backpackers-if you're looking to socialize with people it's not ideal as the property is pretty small.

Doorman let us in at 7am. There was no one at reception so we left our stuff with a note. When we came back at check in time the people at the desk were very rude. Apparently we weren't allowed to leave our stuff. Then the doorman shouldn't have left us in. Up until checkout the host was not nice. No thank you/you're welcome/have a nice saty. If not for price and location I wouldn't go here
Very good location. Inside city centre
