Archipelago Hostel Old Town Reviews

bitten by bed bugs all over arms and face

The staff were rude and not helpful at all especially when talking about areas to eat out and best way to get to sights. The average age was around 40!!!!!!!! It was within walking distance to Main Street but wouldn't recommend 2 girls stung there and have to walk at night. No single sex dorms ether.

Clean room and warm showers. Kitchen hours were very flexible so we saved money that way. The location could not be any more perfect! Friendly staff and very safe/secure hostel. Rooms were rather small which is fine unless you're traveling with a lot of luggage, we had almost no walking room. Wifi in room too!

The two women working there while I stayed were absolutely amazing. So sweet and plus they moved me to a more private room for free when they realized that they had the extra space. Great location but lacked some character.

Generally good, certainly great and beautiful location. Showers looked kinda old and not very inviting, and in the room it smelled like dust. Also, I am getting very tired of hostels who can't get their wifi to work in every room. It's 2013. I book hostels / hotels based on availability of wifi in the room, and it's very annoying if it only works in the bathroom or hallway...

We failed to use our own padlock because the hole in the locker appeared to be too small for it.

First if all I'd like to say that location of the hostel is great-a few minutes of walking to the main sights of Stockholm. Stuff is really good, helpful and friendly! Another good thing is that this hostel has windows in suits and that can't be said about majority of other hostels coz most part of them located in basements. The room was really clean and there was everything what you need. So it's really good value for money!

Very good location and friendly staff. It was rather noisy, don't forget your ear plugs

Not really a nice hostel. The situation and the staff is realy good. But there is not a really comun area to stay and konw people, and i was bitten for fleas in my bed.

The location of the Hostel is the best, the check in hours could be better and the renting of bed cheats took me by surprise else everything seems to work nicely in the hostel.

i stayed just one night, and it wasn't bad. but city tax, i dont know what it is. it will be charged. 2€ for each person.

Small nice room with window. A bit too much money for what they give. I do not think towels and sheets should be paid. But guys! location is perfect! and the girl at the reception was very nice and polite.

Just a huge problem; the noise ! There"s a musical pub just on the other side of the little street, with music, songs, shouts in the pub and outside, until 2 in the mornig. I could'nt sleep ! My daugther (21 ans) could'nt sleep !

As good as any one would need for a short visit to the capitol. Got the same room as last time :) and if I had forgotten to take something with me I could have gotten it there for the night. Really good first and secound impression all in all.

Great great location, but weird opening hours of the reception could cause problems.. we managed to check in easily after 18 though. Small lockers in the rooms (bring your own padlock), enough for a laptop but not for a backpack etc. Oh and LINEN AND TOWELS NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE, that sucks. It's bring your own or pay like 7 eur. Wifi internet in the rooms. Too bad there is not really proper social lounge.
