Hostelworld says
If you're looking for an unusual place to stay in central Stockholm, Langholmens Vandrarhem STF/HI is in a former prison built in the 1800s. Hostelworld guests have said this is a "friendly hostel with character in a beautiful location" with "very clean and comfortable" rooms in the former cells. There's a restaurant and pub in the old prison hospital, while the hostel is surrounded by lush greenery and beaches. Reviewers frequently tell us how much they enjoyed their "lovely" morning swim; it's little wonder this hostel was voted the best in Sweden in 2008 by Hostelworld users!
