Archipelago Hostel Old Town Reviews

It had a bad smell, from the bathroom. The shower was broken and the water was often cold. Some of the other guest smoked in the bathrooms, eventhoug it was a no smoking hostel. And the room was cold. But the beds was good, the room was nice and we loved the building and location.

It would be nice to have some sort of kitchen or at least a water cooker.

Thanks for an awesome time! Definately a great place with great people and in a great city... great great great! :D The lady friend at the desk and her dog are great! :D

excellent value and great location for this hostel. It's located in the old town, 1 min walk from the subway station, nice pubs with live music on the same street. The Inn keeper is really nice also. Highly recommended!

Great location & the staff were really nice! The only thing that could be improved were the beds as they were a bit cold & uncomfy, but this was a very minor detail. Thankyou we really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent location, great value for money, clean and comfortable rooms.

I love the family like atmosphere and the air banding area! Ways to go!

The hostel had a great location! Which is the main positive thing. I would recommend it. The only thing is that reception never seemed to be open. In the 2 days I was there I was saw a receptionist when I checked in and when I checked out. If you needed something in between there was no one to help.

Very poor Hostel overall...only worth for the location

A wonderful location and everything you need from hostel. We arrived after 6pm so had to make a phone call to get in, but once we had access we found the key to our room which had been left out for us. In terms of staff, there was a younger lady and a man who were absolutely lovely and really obliging, but an older lady who seemed a bit abrupt and quite obviously wanted us out when it came to the morning we were leaving and made us feel unwelcome. This was a shame as everything else was so good!

The hostel is very nice, with excellent location in the old town and a very nice lady at the reception, the only problems we had was that the room was quite cold (the blankets were however very warm) and we had windows over a noisy bar next door that was full on Friday night and thus it was hard to sleep. Otherwise everything was very lovely, clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend this hostel for future visitors of Stockholm :)

It was a very nice stay. If you could do something for the clothes when we are taking a shower, it would be excellent: they get wet very easily, unfortunately.

The hostel was in a convenient part of the city, if you wanted to spend all your time in Gamla Stan. Otherwise it was not the most convenient location. It's also on a street that was fairly noisy during the weekend nights. It was clean enough and just like any hostel. Nothing special about it.

- very friendly and helpful staff (+) - showers and toilets are a bit dirty (-) - very VERY tiny rooms!! We were staying in a kind of chamber (-)

we stayed at the room right next to reception, so when going to bathroom, we had to cross area almost always full of people. There was space only for beds and 2 mini tables. other than that - there were hot water in the showers, no noisy neighbours, and clean linen (which we had to pay separately for). location was fantastic and we came to explore Stockholm and not to stay at the hostel :) overall - 7/10.

Excellent staff , extremely clean and good facilities .

To close to a party district

Very good hostel that's fairy cheap but still very nice.

WE had very squeaky beds. Those made sleeping a little more challenging than usual. To improve the room I'd look at the quality of the bunks.

I thought the reception lady had character when i arrived but I wasn't particularly happy that I was being suspected by her to have apparently dirtied the kitchen and ate someone else's bread. I wasn't overly comfortable about that.
