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!

Hidden cost like cleaning fees and linen (must have) fees are only mentioned when checking in. Would be better if they are already included at the start to prevent confusion.
Location is far off in a island that has no public transport access to, hence you need to walk quite a long distance. On the other hand, it makes it super quite to stay there.
Please have curtains/ blinds/ something that could block off the light from the sun outside. Sunrises very early during my stay on end May. Not the best slee

Really nice setting on a small island within the city area .
The rooms are converted prison cells but very well done and clean and tidy with ensuite bathrooms.
Very friendly staff and quality buffet breakfast.
Top tip , rent a bicycle from reception as its only 15 minutes to central stockholm on dedicated cycle path.

Overall excellent hostel. Easy to get to, great amounts of parking. Though the breakfast isn't included in the price it is totally worth it for the money. Only complaint is that the property is massive, as such it is difficult to find specific things within and the bar didn't seem to have been open during my stay. Otherwise will definitely stay here again. Rooms were very comfortable and super clean.
