I have been in this hostel few days, was really cool meeting other people, the place was clean and well organised(free coffee internet, tea, pasta), the location great, just rooms were small but for the rest I will definitely go back here in my next visit. I felt really confortable...

No 24 hour reception, dont take euro as payment but will take it as a means to hold deposit for key. Had to leave before reception opened at 8AM and their solution to getting my money back was for me to write my credit card number down on a piece of paper and put it with the key in the mailbox. You have to be kidding me! Would not recommend this hostel!

Hello and thanks for your feedback! We are sorry that you feel dissapointed with our service :I Always when guests check-in, we ask if you need to leave early and in that case we don't take a deposit. In this case there must have been a missunderstanding. We asked if you would prefer us to post the deposit instead of refunding it to your credit card number. We are not able to accept euro as payment because we don't have that currency in Sweden.. We apologize if you feel dissapointed, again. Anyways, really hope you have a great day, and had a fun time in Stockholm!

Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und helfen einem gerne weiter. Eine späte Anreise (23Uhr) war überhaupt kein Problem.

This was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. The lockers included a lock so it wasn't a problem that I forgot my own. There is a supermarket right across the street which was very convenient, and the metro only two blocks away. Everything was very clean, except the shower drains but that could have been from that morning and they hadn't been cleaned yet. The common area was just some tables near the kitchen but that didn't bother me since I didn't spend so much time in the hostel.

The hostel is very nice, calm after 10pm and very clean. The only thing is that the walls are very thin so you may heard the neigthbour.

Very clean and well organised hostel. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are new modern, well kept and I found the bed very comfortable. Sodermalm is a really cool part of Stockholm, so if you plan on spending some time checking out this part of town, then the location of this hostel is great. However, if you are going into Gamla Stan or the center everyday then you will end up spending a bit on metro passes each day. Great hostel. Thanks for the stay!!

I liked the hostel very much. The staff was friendly and had good tips for what to visit. The location is a bit far from the city centre, but no problem at all.

A very nice hostel to stay in. A bit far out of the centre, but in a nice area. We hired bikes using the city bike scheme, so we could get around quickly, which compensated for not being central.

A clean, well run hostel in an interesting section of Stockholm. There were lots of cafes nearby where we could mix in with the locals. However traffic noise in the night was quite annoying. Also, since the rooms are in the basement our window was at street level, and it was pretty warm we needed to have the window open. Since there was no screen in the window we think a mouse got into our room and we could hear it scurrying in the night.
