Liked: Although the Langholmen Hostel was a nice and clean place, it was a little bit too far from the city centre.

Liked: It was a quirky, very well presented and clean hostel. The rooms were lovely, a tad small but that is to be expected. Big power shower, free wi fi, tv, a safe and various plug sockets.The staff were wonderful. They upgraded me and my boyfriend on arrival and also helped my boyfrind order flowers for my birthday. When they arrived they also gave us some champagne and glasses and a birthday card!Walking distance from Galma Stan but also close to buses and tubes.A really lovely place to stay.

17 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place is harder to get to than others as it involves more walking, but it is located on a very peaceful island. Excellent restuarant and help from staff. The "prison" theme is well-maintained without sacrificing comfort. Overall, one of the 2 best places that I have stayed at while travelling Europe.

27 August 2009 Jennifer would recommend this property

Liked: This is a very unique place to stay - you actually ARE in a prison cell, it's tiny, but pretty fun. The staff is VERY helpful, they answered about 50 of our questions about everything from the kroner to the airport. On our last morning there, I missed breakfast, but when I went to the cafe, the host was incredibly generous and asked the kitchen to make me a sandwich, even though they were closed. I ended up with a DELICIOUS sandwich for free for breakfast. It's a little bit loud - my friend had trouble every night because she could hear the heavy cell doors slamming and people walking. We have a theory that it might be ghosts - but in any case, it's not the quietest place to stay. It was also a little bit far from the metro, Overall, I liked it though.

18 August 2009 Tarnya would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel had so much character and was surrounded by a beautiful lake and nature park. It was also close to the Metro which made it very easy to get around Stockholm. The atmosphere was fantastic! I would never stay on a hotel in the city when i could stay at the Langholmen.

17 August 2009 Zoe would recommend this property

Liked: The dorm room was very well furnished with sturdy beds and comfy mattress toppers and pillows. The dorms did feel a bit 'separate' from the main prison bit, it seemed only the full paying guests got the rooms in the old cells, the dorms are in an adjoining annex. The staff were friendly and helpful, apart from one guy who kept trying to make things difficult. The kitchen was really well stocked, but not a very sociable place. The breakfast was very varied, but I thought a little expensive, and catered to the more 'hotel' guests.

11 August 2009

Liked: Twin room was bunkbeds, 6m2, and located in the prison museum. Weird. Linen and towels costs extra (60 SEK plus 20 SEK) and non-membership of Hostel (50 SEK). Consider this when booking. It IS a prison.
