Archipelago Hostel Old Town Reviews

Mycket bra hostel, kommer att rekommendera det till vänner och bekanta. Kommer troligtvis boka rum i framtiden, igen.

As Stockholm offers a wide amount of hostels, this is not the one I would recommend. Although it is a nice and clean place, it's facilities are very limited. For example, some of the rooms open directly into the washroom, there is a constant shortage of dishes in the kitchen, the kitchen/social room is very small, and there is no place to get dressed/undressed at the shower room. The hostel's central location also means that the noise often goes on through to the early hours of the morning

Especially the location of this hostel is great, it's located right in the middle of Gamla Stan, the old city centre. Rooms are not big but have every thing you need. Shower was partly broaken however. If you stay for a longer time, facilities to cook your own meal come in handy. Staff is very friendly.

I get now why reviews vary so much. Hostel offers all the basic amenities and the staff are nice and friendly, but hardly there (very limited hours; the payment computers were shut off 30min early), so you're on your own with noisy guests. Location is excellent, but the direction to get there are horrible, especially given the construction on the way. There are only three showers and three toilets, all super small, for all of the dorm rooms. Stay here for the location, not the experience.

Needs to be renovated. Location excellent.

Very nice place with a great location,make sure to ring the door outside because they don't have a bell for their door.we came there early and didn't know where to knock to leave our baggages,and the shower one the upper floor got cold water we had to use the one in the lower floor...but still the place is very nice and good price for its location.ull enjoy it there:)

The dorm was a dorm, not much to add. The private superior room was a little on the grotty side, and had two single beds pushed together rather than a double bed - it also had two seperate mattresses that you had to put the hostel's own covers on, same with pillowcases - why do hostels in Scandinavia not provide clean sheets automatically rather than charging you $10 to rent them??? There was a TV in the room though, which while I didn't use it, could have come in handy had I needed it.

good. but the twin bed was actually two single. and the matress was quiet old. plus be careful to your fragile clothes there is some bugs making holes in it.

Fantastic hostel in a great central location - friendly and helpful staff, very clean! You could not ask for more...We would highly recommend it!

Smallest superior room ever seen!!!!!!!

The hostel is in a great location right in the center of old town Gamla Stan. There is a hostel policy not allowing any kind of noise after 10 pm but unfortunately there is no one to complain to (no one in the front desk at night) in case there is any sort of partying going on, which happened to us the second night we we're there. Our room was right next door to the kitchen and a group of people decided to have a loud party until 4 am. But overall it is a great hostel, I recommend.

Generally the Hostel was really nice, clean and tidy. The location is excellent, the walk from the central station is really easy and it is close to every attraction there are in the city. But there were two really annoying problems that was interfered our stay: 1. there was no services at the hostel from 18:00 pm. 2. inside the showers there was a press button which you had to press every 5 seconds to get water. it was really annoying! beside that, it was cool.

Everything was ok, the room was clean, no problems with the door codes (because we arrived later than 6pm) nor the people in there. The bathroom was ok too. Kitchen clean and with enought things to cook, it is small but no many people used it so it was ok. One of the things I didn't like much was the no existence of a common area. Location was ok, very sure area. Subway and byses 3 minutes away. Central station very near too.

The hostel is in a great location, close to everything, easy to find. The sheets were clean and the bedding was fresh, the kitchen was well stocked. There was a drippy faucet and the shower head holder was broken so we had to hold it. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the offer to watch our luggage for an hour between check out and train departure time was...well, we saw other luggage that was left alone while being watched, so we decided to put ours in a locker at the train station.

Very nice staff and nice location. Poor value for money though.

The place is nice and had a great location but the lady that owns it is some what demeaning and makes you feel really stupid for asking questions. She's not very helpful and just ends up being kind of rude. But the place is nice its a good location and clean. So you decide if Its worth it!

A really nice place to stay at! Nice place to meet new people, friendly staff, beautiful location in the middle of Old Town, Stockholm, close to nice pubs and cheap!

I was there for 3 Nights with 3 other friends. We had a really good time there. Everything is new in the hostel (bed, WC, showers). The lady at the desk was really nice and helpful and funny. The younger girl working the morning and WE was also nice. It's a bit loud if you face the Gamla stan pub street. And some people were really noisy the last eve around 3AM. But I can warmly recommend it!

Clean, situated in the heart of Stockholm.

nice place to stay, but no room to meet together!
