Lock in a great price for Castanea Old Town Hostel - rated 9.1 by recent guests.

to get started.

Good to stay in Gamla stan but it difficult to bring the large luggage into the paving road.

Jakrawadee, Japan

Loved the location in Gamla Stan! Beautiful hostel! Staff was especially helpful!

Henrik, Sweden

Staff were lovely and even let me check in at 10am as there was a bed free already. The hostel is in a lovely area and it's a really nice old building but they've set it up very well as a hostel. The staff have also put so much effort in to develop some tips and advice (best restaurants etc) for the area which is always helpful.

Lauren, United Kingdom

The kitchen was pretty nice. Showers and bathrooms seemed to be pretty clean. Lockers were easily available, with a possibility of renting locks for 30kr. All doors had passcode locks. It was generally clean and cozy

Green, Sweden

Very nice hostel! Super cozy， people all friendly!

Ching, United Kingdom

The location is just perfect, right in the middle of the old town. Bedrooms, bathrooms and showers are fine, clean and warm.

Laura, Argentina

This hostel was quiet, clean and more spacious than other hostels. Elevator was good for luggage. People were very helpful.

Andria, USA

This was an easy and convenient place to stay. It was super close to everything and we walked almost everywhere. Would definitely stay there again!

Indyanna, Australia

Very well located on the cutest island downtown Stokholm. The hostel is clean and well organized. The kitchen is fully equipped and the staff is friendly.

Sarah, France

It was an amazing stay here. Friendly staff, extremely cosy environment and good beds! We arrived early and they were so friendly to give us our beds already.
