The fact that nobody is on duty at night is a problem vis à vis quietness of the hostel. This does not work when you have a bunch of drunk and loud people who have decided to party in the hostel rather than in the surrounding bars.

We had a short, but nice stay at the hostel and we could really imagine coming back next time we are in Stockholm. One small minus though - in our room it was pretty cold, and since it was cold outside too we never got really warm..

We felt the hostel has a very feminine atmosphere, which was very nice and comfortable to stay. Just one thing - it could have been more comfortable if you could prepare our room a little far away from another one with guests (a couple), when there is a vacancy :-)

Location is findable, and it is along the street, so I could went back to hostel from restaurant at night even though I was alone. the kitchen was clean and we can use clean cups and dishes. coffee and tea are free, and they served us pepperkake since it was Christmas season. Stuff was nice, if you ask anything, they will answer kindly. I enjoyed my stay. thank you.

Bizarre set up (showers in the basement, and only two toilets for a whole hostel) but the staff were lovely and the place, although small, was charming and clean.

Quite nice. Nothing bad, but the layout of the showerrooms was a bit weird.

Good hostel with the perfect location just in 5 min. from the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan. The best variant for students. its kitchen quite small, but anyway, I enjoyed living there.

The good: the location. Wifi. The bad: Not much of a hostel, feels more like a hotel. Receptionist is part time the hostel is unstaffed after 6pm. Only 2 toilets in the entire place which is painful. Bathroom sink partly blocked so full of gross toothpaste residue. Shower floor cleanliness poor. You are charged extra for sheets (although that might be common in Sweden but not in the rest of the world).

A nice homely atmosfere, but absolutely no sound proofing, could hear everything spoken in room next to us. Ensuite rooms would be so much nicer, though. Would come again, inspite of the critique. Tackar så hjärtligt!

The rooms are a bit over backed (6 bed dorms). The kitchen is excellent but there should be more toilets and common space.

Small Hostel in Gamla Stan, probably noisy if get one of the rooms heading towards the street, otherwiae really no problem, otherwise small, spartanic but clean rooms. Due to the small building there is no real commom room (only some tables in the hall, which serve well for breakfast or so). In total if you search for a place mainly (if not only) to sleep near Stockholm Centre, it's a good call.

Something has obviously not met your requirements or went completely wrong and whatever it was I apolgize sincerly. However, with regards to the web photos I don't understand your comment. Photos are correctly showing our rooms and the interior, nothing has been changed or manipulated.
