Castanea Old Town Hostel Reviews

This place was great but it did have its flaws. The doorway on the street was a bit easy to miss. On entering we were greeted by a very friendly member of staff who diligently showed us around all the facilities and to our room. The downside was the size of the room, a 6 ft by 8 ft box which just squeezed in two single beds and enough room to store two bags. However, it was very clean and reasonably warm. The shower room and kitchen were great and there was ample toilet facilities for everyone.

staff is very friendly facilities is very good it is just that it would be good if hostel can provide breakfast. overall is good

Coming to castanea is like coming home

This is a great place to stay! The staff is warm and friendly, the hostel clean and well-located. I loved it here and plan to come back!

This hostel is the best i`ve ever used! Location? Best! Faciliti? Best! And very very clean.

We had realy great time there therefore it was only 2 nights. The hostel is located in a beautiful area of the old town with lots of small shops and nice pubs. Fantastic common area and kitchen where you can cook your breakfast or lunch. Nobody is wasting food there so you will always find something interesting in the refrigerator. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Great Hostel, Staff were very friendly, Location is perfect.

Good place, very quite and clean. Visitors should mention that bed clothes and lockers are charged.

I liked this hostel a lot, very cozy atmosphere, usefull baskets on beds, your floor will be free of mess),

The Staff was nice to combine my booking with a friend's so we could stay in a private booking, but neglected to cancel my old booking, meaning that I had to pay for a late cancellation fee. This was surely the error of the staff, as this was done by the other party before I had arrived, and the hostel admitted to but refused to accommodate for this clerical error. That was frustrating, but otherwise it was a perfect hostel, very comfortable, clean, good location, and a great value :!

Best hostel i´ve ever been to! It´s small, but has so much character! The small twin rooms are really small, but nevertheless still worth the money! The staff was incredible! They were friendly, helpful and always had great tips and time for you! The location was incredible, in the middle of ol town! I am definitely coming back!

Ill always remember it as my first hostel I've ever stayed in and it was perfect for my first time!

I have visited many times before, for the above reasons, Something else which needs to be mentioned is the friendliness displayed by other guests. I arrived late as notified but was not given the luggage room PIN, which was not a big problem. Warm, cheap, comfortable and secure, what more do you want.

We have been here before, and we will come back! ( just remember earplugs becource of the churc bells every 15 minutes)

A good hostel.

We had a geat time at Castanea. It is an authentisch place, very frienend and helpful staff, everything was cleanen up regularly. Additionally, the hostel is locaded in the heart of Gamla Stan - the Old Town - a lovely city district in Stockholm's city center.
