I stayed in the large room (28 beds or so) and it wasn't a complete nightmare as you might imagine. Although I will say that everyone in the room usually appeared to be sleeping or uninterested in talking with you if they are in a group. It was annoying though how there was only one immediate shower location in the... More

This is my first review on a hostel (or a hotel): This hostel is so bad that I had to write this review... I stayed in different variety of hostels and hotels around world with different quality ranges. Even the worst hostel (among almost a hundred) that I stayed up to now was at least bearable, but this is just... More

If I could rate this hostel, 0 out of 5, I would. This is hostel in a fantastic location, but is probably not worth your money. When I arrived at 7 in the morning, at had to wait 2 hours for the receptionist to arrive, just so I could get into the hostel. But the receptionist decided she should be... More

My friend and I booked a double room for two nights but soon ran into trouble. After a day of sightseeing we came back to our hostel to find out that our keycards no longer worked. Since we only returned after office hours (9am-5pm), there was no one at reception to help us reprogram the card. Calling any of the... More

The hostel is at a good location, with Swedish chocolate store nearby and lots of tourist attractions around. However, the service is not that good. The machines always have problems (EX: The credit card machine is broken, the public computer can't connect to the Internet...). If you booked this room on-line, still remember to bring the cash because their machine... More

Great hostel with a friendly staff, very clean and plenty (shared) bathrooms and toilets, free to use computers everywhere, comfy beds (literally everything was from ikea, even the fake flowers, but what would you expect, it's Sweden ;D), free pasta (bought a pot of sauce for 20SEK). It was -15°C outside which was pretty cold on our first night, even... More

Best Hostel Old Town is kind of like Hogwart's. It has lots of passages and a complicated structure :) . It is truly in Old Town. When you go out you have an awesome view! It is close to Katerina Hissen (great platform overlooking the city) and it's 5 minutes walk from Alfred Nobel's museum and Royal Palace. In the... More

I choosed this hostel because it fulfilled my requirements: 1) Location in Gamla Stan and with views of the water. My room, however, overlooked a narrow street but it was good anyway because the area is nice. And from the kitchen where breakfast is served (the one near reception) the view is great. 2) Breakfast included. It was basic (coffee,... More
