Liked: Location was absolutely perfect; two minute walk to the palace and ten minutes in either direction to both Sodermalm and Sergelstorg. The staff were excellent, especially the blonde lady in her mid 30's, i forget her name. We were made to feel very welcome and chatted with her about how we were enjoying Stockholm and what life was like back home. The rooms, yeah they were very basic but the beds were really comfy and I actually liked that I was sleeping on my own sheets. And our window looked into the Acne office across the street where a gorgeous guy worked! No problems with the communal showers; we were in room 11 and the showers were right outside. The kitchen upstairs was great, we had it to ourselves most mornings and it felt more like our own little apartment than a hostel, The free internet terminals in reception were great as well. Overall, if you're looking for a clean, basic place to sleep then you can't do much better than this place. In fact we've already booked up for a return trip in May.

Liked: Clean, not too noisy and friendly staff. Right in the middle of Gamla stan so you can move around easily, tho all the little shops were for tourists so they were all selling the same stuff. You couldn't meet many locals.

Disliked: I would have liked the showers a bit more private.

Liked: The staff were very helpful and the facilities were clean and well presented.

Disliked: The one small criticism is that the hostel is on a main street, so it can be noisy at night - although this is also proves that it's in a good location!

Liked: Briljante locatie in Gamla Stan!Schuin tegenover op de hoek een heerlijke zaak voor ontbijt, koffie, lunch, etc.Geen auto's in de straat waardoor het rustig is 's, ook nachts.Boven is een keuken, hebben we "medebewoners" ontmoet, erg gezellig.Ook de gastvrouw- en heer hebben echt plezier in het ontvangen van gasten, zijn oprecht geïnteresseerd in wat je doet, hebt gedaan etc.Wat mij betreft een aanrader als je gewoon functioneel voor niet teveel wilt overnachten op een mooie en strategisch gelegen plek.

Leonie van der Kolk

08 February 2010 Leonie would recommend this property

Liked: I stayed here with three friends. We stayed in a room next to the reception. We thought it would be noisy, but it wasn't noisy at all. The hostel was very quiet. It was right in the middle of the old town, which was great. The showers and toilets were clean. I like to have a shower and toilet in my room, so I was wondering what it would be like not having it in the room, but they were all very clean. I worried for nothing. Opposite the hostel was a medieval bar where people walked around in medieval clothing, played music and ate medieval food. Absolutely brilliant. I would definitely reccomend this hostel and I will certainly stay there again.
