Archipelago Hostel Old Town Reviews

Awesome location couldnt be better. Small but nice rooms

Excellent location, staff very friendly and kind. Nice room. WiFi poor signal.

Excellent location, very secure, and staff were friendly. The internet went in and out. The showers only had a 5-second push button so you had to push it over and over again to stay on.

I stayed at Castanea Hostel down the street as well as this one - Castanea was the better experience. GOOD: good central location. Nice staff - went out of their way for me! THE BAD: No atmosphere - no real common areas other than a sparsely decorated small kitchen. No in-room wifi although it claims to have it. Can only check in between 3pm and 6pm - didn't receive an email with instructions for getting in earlier. Wouldn't let me stick around in the common room till my train came.

Our beds were infested with bedbugs. We had hundred of bites on our bodies.

We had a great time in Stockholm and in this hostel. However few remarks: Wifi not strong on second Floor where the old part is situated. Shower cold when lots of people shower on second Floor. Solution: shower on first Floor.

Great hostel in a superb location. Highly recommended.

Rooms are tiny. My parents in the next room woke up itchy and actually saw some bedbugs. Staff was only available for a few hours a day... So you can't really check in/out late or early without really planning ahead. On our last night there was a group of younger guys that were extremely noisy all night and there was no staff to do anything about it. I'm pretty sure no one in that hostel got any sleep that night. It's in a good location but I'm not sure I'd go back if I didn't have to.

There were bed bugs in the room! Room interior and facilities were nice. The staff was not friendly and not supportive.

Reception staff were very helpful, polite and friendly.

Very friendly staff, best location in central Stockholm, very clean rooms an kitchen

I really enjoyed being in this area, it's convenient - close to hip sodermalm, central station (10 min walk) and close to the subway. Although I've stayed in better hostels ...the internet worked half the time. The showers are tiny and there is no where to dry off/dress. No lights at the beds so you should bring one if in a shared dorm. No common area = no character, and the reception is only open a few hours a day - make sure to arrive during open hours because we spent an hour trying to call.

Excellent location.

Excellent location, very clean, pleasant staff, wonderful city. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay in Archipelago. The staff was really helpful. The room and lavatories were clean. It was a bit noisy at night but I guess it is the downside of staying right in the center on the old town. Overall, we were really satisfied. Thanks Archipelago!

It's an a great location in the old town buy its very small and very bland which from what we've seen is pretty typical for Scandinavian hostels. It cost us about $150 US for a private room (shared bathroom) which is ridiculous for what you get. Sheets and towels cost extra, crappy pillows ( I mean actually laughed when I saw them) and zero atmosphere. No communal areas or anything, just a small hallway and rooms coming off it. Rip off.

Great locality of a hostel in a middle of the old town, close to most of attractions in Stockholm and also close to the central station. Quiet atmosphere, well equipped kitchen, small but clean bathroom.

At our arrival we received the keys (as we were already informed) into an envelope near the main door, unfortunately if you need help hope they answer the emergency number + reception schedule is very loose. Honestly the Hostel is very clean and well organized even if nobody really cares about customers needs, we stayed 5 nights and 3 times we showered with cold water, informed reception Team but nothing changed! It worths the money you spend but hope you will not need any support!!!!!

My wife and I had a private room (#11), so we didn't have to deal with anyone else in our room, but we were awakened a few times as people arrived home and got ready for bed. Fantastic staff (did not get her name, but she is from Romania) & location, and the hostel itself was very clean and convenient. Even though we arrived quite late, the pin codes and our room keys were all waiting exactly as we had been told they would be.

extremely helpful staff .One staff staff member gave me a loan of her own phone charger and said to hold it overnight . Another member of staff charger went the extra mile in seeking out directions for us.
