The woman checking us in was very personable. There is a small communal kitchen with refrigerator and stove/sink, seating. We had two rooms, one with two twin beds, and one with a twin bed, and bunk beds. Rooms were small, but each had at least one chair. Shared bathroom with sink/toilet, and then a shower with toilet. It worked for us five adults.

North MacedoniaCentrally located, comfortable beds, well organized check-in
AustriaThe location couldn'n be better. It's very easy to get main attractions.
VietnamThe hostel is in the heart of Gamla Stan, which means it's an excellent place to stay as a tourist, with a quick walk to the Royal Palace, excellent cafes, and bars nearby, and a ride on the T subway system from the Central station (though you may just as well walk there if you aren't overburdened with luggage). Multiple other sites can be reached by bike/scooter/foot from there including the National Museum and the Riksdag building. There are many eateries/cafes places with live music nearby if you like that. The hostel itself was clean, bathroom/WC included, with a decent security system built into it. All the rooms had safes you could use (bring your own lock though) in case you felt you needed to store your personal documents in safe place. Room had enough space for everyone to store their belongings (max occupancy was 5 beds in my room, though only 4 were ever filled at one time).

The area in the Old Town where Archipelago Hostel is located dates back to the middle ages. The actual building is several hundred years old and set in the very centre the Old Town, surrounded by narrow streets and tiny alleys. Restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bakeries, shops and boutiques are found en masse just outside the hostel. The atmosphere is unique and you may actually feel how a thousand years of history tells stories of fascinating past.
