Disliked: There was a beer walking tour. Me and two friends couldn't join the group, because there is a limit for 15 persons and they were already 13... This was absolut inflexible and not customer-friendly...

18 August 2011 Jimmy would recommend this property

Liked: Very much liked the friendly staff and the clean rooms and bathrooms. Also liked the kitchen and the lounge room. Everything was very light and painted in very relaxing colours, which made it fun to sit or walk anywhere. Also liked the initiatives taken by the hostel to make the guest meet each other.

Disliked: Disliked the noise during the night: the walls were very thin, so you could almost hear every word when someone in an other room was talking. Also didn't like the the fact that the central staircase was right underneath our room: again very noisy during the night. There was also a lot of noise outside of the building, which kept some people awake at night.

Liked: Great common areas, TV room, computer, outdoor area, and a café. The kitchen is full of fridges with enougth space for everyone and with free pasta to help yourself.

03 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Computers free of use, internet is fairly quick, book exchange, we had good sleep here, good location, refridgerator system is good - each room is assigned their own and they have a refridgerator and dry goods bins clearly labelled with items that are free for the taking. They brought out a barbecue into the courtyard one night which was a nice change to the foods you can normally cook in a hostel. Nice common areas. Coded entry to hostel area as well as to the rooms - felt very safe.

Disliked: Our room was near the entry door which was being slammed all night - they should put up a sign for people to close it nicely after midnight. Also, the alarm system was constantly making a long beep. In the kitchen there were very few bowls and silverware which made it quite frustrating. Even more frustrating was that out of two stovetops - only one worked and on that one only 3 out of 4 burners worked. Pricey as far as hostels go - but that seems to be the norm for the area. They should include the cost of linens in price since even if you have a sleeping back you still have to rent half of the set...

Disliked: Nothing.

06 July 2011 Patrick would recommend this property

Liked: This Hostel is sure one of the best I've ever been. Even thought is not a party hostel itself, they got some communal areas that makes really easy to meet other travelers, especially when you are traveling alone. There is a free internet room with some Macs, alongside with free Wi-Fi that works really good. Rooms are clean, safe and there's a bunch of toilets with showers all over the hostel. I would definitively stay here again.

Disliked: Nothing, just be careful with Stockholm prices. Alcohol is overpriced, so if you wanna drink just buy some stuff on a alcohol shop during the stay (supermarkets don't sell strong alcohol drinks, only some beers) and drink them on the evening.
