Nice hostel, clean, friendly staff. A bit far from Stockholm old town - 30 minutes on foot. Kitchen and free pasta :)

We've really enjoyed our stay! Clean room,nice beds and an amazing shower! It was quite expensive though... But so is Stockholm. The only thing we didn't like were the two seperate beds that drifted apart the whole night.

Wonderful stay at Skanstulls! It's like living in an IKEA catalogue. A bit far from historical city centre, but if you're more interested in cafes, bars, and shopping, Skanstulls is in the perfect location. Would stay again!

Perfect location in Södermalm, very close to subway station and walk distance to nice pubs. Too expensive for a very small double room without window but it seems that it is a normal price for Stockholm. Free internet! Nice common area with free pasta though also without daylight. For a weekend a good option to stay.

IT was quiet calm,and good to stay to sleep for one night, but i think not longer. Because I do not know what about other rooms, but room where I and my coleaguses stayed - the colour was so heavy and poor - like in the prison:)Other staff - like possible pay by credit card, smily administrator in reception, equipment in the kitchen and everything else - was fine.

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...

Add SMS notification with the code, please. We could not get in when we arrived in the late check in. Other guests help us open the door and give us wifi password. And only then we checked by e-mail own code for safe-box and get the keys...

Hi! That's a really good idea! We should learn how to do that =) Usually we give the guest who hasn't checked in before closing time a telephone call + of course an e-mail since lot's of people have smartphones these days.. Oh, and there are signs around the entrance with the number of our night-time telephone to reach the staff at any hour. Anyways - We're glad we had other guests who could help you =) And that you had a great time in winterwonderland-Stockholm, haha. Bye!

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.
