Security good and close to transport or simply to walk into town. Showers are shared, in a locker room setting.

The pictures on your webpage does not match the rooms. there are no double rooms/twin bedrooms matching the pictures. The lady behind the counter was very rude even though the mistake was theirs. It was atotal disaster. Also it says breakfast included but its not!

Clean hostel, but poor breakfast. Located outside the city center, which is not very comfortable to reach, especially in late hours. No remarkably good atmosphere, but OK for a short city trip.

The location is close to Gamla Stan by walk and different shops. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Free Internet access, which is convenient. Several showers, The only negative point could be the beds, they are rather uncomfortable.

Very good hostel! The only downside is that it's a bit far from the city center if you like to walk, but it's very easy to take the metro! I would stay there again!

No sufficient cleaning, we stay there for 1 week and our room wasn't cleaned for the entire period. Common toilets too weren't sufficintly cleaned. Some people of the staff were so closed and not sufficiently prepared about some touristic informations.

The showers could have been better with doors on them rather than curtains...

Very nice hostel. Cozy and comfortable. I booked a private room for 2 people but I got one for 4 instead, so that was great. If we had been 4 people, it was actually a bit small, but for 2 it was perfect. Very clean as well, fully-equipped kitchen, location is not central but it is quiet, and it's only 3 metro stations away from the city center. There are hair dryers in the bathrooms.

The reason why we book hostels is they are supposed to be fun. However, this one is definetely not a place to see other bacpackers as you and meet different people. Therefore, we are quite disappointed about that. Other than that it is a clean and nice hostel.

Excelent staff, always nice and ready to help. For the first time it seems that the Hostel is so far away from the city centre but after you get into the Metro map you will notice that in a couple of stations you are in Gamla stan. Hostel is located in a nice place, near to a city park and away from the traffic noises from the city. Excellent breakfast also :) Willing to be back in IYHF Youth Hostel Zinkensdamm if i go to Stockholm again.

The Hostel is great for location, just 5 min of walk from the main Tunnelbana station. The rooms are good, maybe just a bit small, but it's fair for a hostel. Just one spot: the toilets are a bit small, and the showers cannot be closed. It's a good place to stay if you want to save some money and don't have problems in showing your butt during a shower !!!

Agree with other reviewers about the showers but the big issue for me was the room size and the lack of space.

Great hostel, clean, well-run and relatively central.


60%

the soap in the bathrooms was not refilled. and alltogether the bathrooms were very dirty. the rooms were okay, but the guests were completely unfriendly ( no greeting on the floor).

Good experience overall. The 4-person private room is small for the price, even in an expensive city. Nice homey feel. Location requires some walking but it's fine in nice weather. There's an indoor and outdoor bar and cafe area for food bought there only. Prices are comparable to other places in Stockholm. TV and WiFi in rooms. Would not be opposed to staying here again but would probably look around for other options first.

The hostel is situated in a very nice area. The metro station is appr. a 10 minutes walk away (not very close by but absolutely no problem to walk). The room (double bed room with bathroom) was clean and newly equipped (big lcd screen). Overall the hostel is very fine and I would highly recommend it.
