Skanstulls Vandrarhem Reviews

nice and clean hostel, great kitchen, I stayed in on of the 6 bed dorms and they are great because the beds are not noisy! (which is very common and anoying in this kind of dorms) the room was quite big so it didn´t feel crowded. The bad point is the extra charge for the sheets, who travel around with sheets? A bit stingy don't you think? But besides that this is a great hostel

Too expansive for what you get. The information on the site about this hostel is far better than how it really is.The room was too small, too noisy. I knew I had to rent towels and bed linnen, but still I think that's overrated. Overall, to me, the worst hostel I've been to so far.

I loved this hostel so much! They allowed a late night check in for my friend and I and they were helpful with everything we needed and asked about. They have a great kitchen, seriously amazing. They had free pasta, coffee, and tea. We cooked almost every meal there. Great location right next to a metro stop so it was easy to get everywhere. The outside looks a little sketch but the inside is amazing. Loved everything and would highly recommend this hostel and I would go back myself!

Nice place to stay. Friendly staff, big and clean kitchen, BUT our room was very,very small (about 3*3m) and no window.

Really lovely hostel. The rooms were spacious, the kitchen was the best looking kitchen I have ever seen and also really big. The location was incredible, right in the middle of the part of Stockholm with cosy cafes and great second hand stores, little boutiques and trendy bars. It is situated away from the centre of the city, but was also a nice walk to to the city and sightseeing places. However, I think the part where the hostel is is much more ideal.

I have stayed in many hostels in many cities and this is by far my favorite! Big new kitchen (free pasta & coffee), an extensive book-exchange, private toilets, community showers, lockers provided with locks/key. Super friendly and helpful staff and a great location-- plenty of bars, food and shopping near by and very close to the subway. Would highly recommend!!

This hostel was a great location in walking distance to the bars in the young area of Sodermalm and lots of restaurants / shopping / bars nearby. The hostel was very clean but it was SO quiet. If this is what you are looking for in a hostel - peace and quiet and keeping to yourself then it is perfect for you. No one really spoke to each other, and tended to stay in their own groups. There's a lovely kitchen / dining area available and plenty of toilets & showers to use. Overall decent.

Good atmosphere, but the bed linen not included is definitely something that gives the hostel a less good rating... :\

Thanks to all of staff.

Our room definitely did not looked like one in the pictures on the webpage. There are two big baths with shower, which could be far away from your room. The worst thing for us was, that we booked 7 beds from an 8 bed room. One evening when we arrived back, my bed was occupied by someone else. The personnel was also not helpful by solving this issue. In rest location is good, we could reach the downtown by walk,

AMAZING! In every sense.

In the beginning I was a bit afraid with the "room without window" but after I was pleasantly surprised. It was very nice room and window was not needed - there was fresh air all the time.

The staff was so unfriendly, there are a lot of stairs ( 3 floors at least), the kitchen is really dirty !!! Too expensive for this poor space with none facilities. I would prefer to pay if I knew it before.

Best place to stay in Stockholm, especially if you are young and want to explore nightlife of the city.

Friendly staf, realy nice kitchen. Good location, good beds. Almost no windows and the room i was in was at the front so lots of street noise.

A nice place to stay, good location: 10 min to t-centralen, 2 min to a supermarket. Staff friendly and welcoming. Good kitchen with a lot of free food left by guests. Btw, besides free tea&coffee they offer free pasta)) Facilities are clean and plenty. However, it would be nice to have more storage space in the room.

I can absulutely recommend this hostel. We were staying in a 6bed dorm, which was very clean and comfortable. The Kitchen is a nice place to hang out and the free pasta, tea and filter coffee are a blast! Bathrooms and toilets are very clean and the staff was always friendly and eagerly to help. The location is pretty central, too. the tunelbana is just a few meters away but I also enjoyed straying through the side streets. We had a fantastic stay and a great start in 2013.

Maybe the rooms could be made more sound proof for that amount of money being paid. But overall its location was good, just 4 stops away from the central and a few stops away from old town.

We found it difficult in this windowless hostel. It was so dark that we never knew what the time was, we were always tired, the lights were very dim and we always had to leave the door open because it was so hot. Do not stay here for more than a couple of days or you will be tired and frustrated by the end. If the lights had been brighter this may have made a difference. You have to rent all sheets and towels (extra fee). There is no free/paid breakfast and the hostel is only staffed until 8pm.
