Hostelworld says:
STF/IYHF af Chapman is spread across a ship and a nearby house, with both dating back to the 19th century, offering a uniquely historical experience which Hostelworld customers have praised repeatedly, from the surprisingly spacious rooms on deck to the 'free Internet, city maps and the nice view on the old town from the [deck] of the ship'. Our guests say this hostel is 'great for a city break', and is particularly 'excellent for families - very central and near to lots of places suitable for kids'.
Property Information:
STF Youth Hostel af Chapman is located in Stockholm's city centre on the island Skeppsholmen.
The af Chapman sailing ship has recently been renovated from keel to mast, and is one of city's most famous landmarks. It overlooks Gamla Stan (the Old Town) and the Royal Palace.
Our reception is located in a beautiful yellow 19th-century building next to the boat. It's open 24 hours and also houses further accommodation.
Our ecological breakfast buffet is very popular.
Stay in comfortable cabins on the ship - some of which have been restored back to their original style - or in regular rooms in the 19th-century building on Skeppsholmen. This location also has an unusual history - the original building used to serve as firewood storage space for the royal castle in the 18th century. All rooms have bunkbeds. Bed linen and towels are included.
From the hostel you are close to Stockholm's museum, restaurants and entertainment.
A ferry provides easy access to the nearby island of Djurgården, where the popular Skansen open-air museum and the Vasa Museum are located. Other attractions located on Djurgården are the amusement park Gröna Lund, the Aquaria water museum and the Nordic museum. You can also visit the wonderful world of Astrid Lindgren at Junibacken. From the hostel it is only a few minutes' walk to boats to the Stockholm Archipelago.
Our hostel is a meeting place for people from near and far, including global travellers, inter-railers and families with children. Many of our guests return to enjoy the pleasant environment and to take advantage of the superb location again.
Please note that af Chapman/Skeppsholmen Youth Hostel is a IYHF-hostel. All prices are for IYHF-members. Adult non-members will be charged an additional fee of 50SEK/night and children 25SEK/night on arrival.

“A very nice location and beds in dormitories are good. If you want to sleep in an original hostel, you have to try this. It is very funny to wake up on a boat. The only little bad point is that it is still expensive to what it is really, a cabin ...”
