Welcome to Castanea Old Town Hostel, one of the most central hostels in Stockholm.

This is a small, personal hostel, located in the middle of the Old Town (Gamla Stan), one of the best-preserved medieval city centres in the world. Castanea is a modern hostel in a charming building from 1747 with a beautiful horse chestnut tree at a small square just outside.

In our hostel there are 55 beds. You can stay in dorms or private rooms; we have single, twin, four- or six-bed private rooms. All rooms have shared shower and toilet. In our dormitory we have lockers; bring your own padlock or rent from us. There's also a popular guest kitchen for your own cooking.

We have a free guest computer as well as free Wi-Fi in most rooms.

Our surroundings have stories to tell. To stroll through the streets is to travel through history. We're only 200 meters from the Royal Palace in Gamla Stan and near tourist attractions, shops, cafés and restaurants. Castanea is also close to Central Station, only one stop with the underground.
