This hostel is housed in a refurbished 1800s prison building, on the central Stockholm island of Långholmen. Surrounded by greenery, it offers a restaurant, a shared kitchen and free Wi-Fi and parking.

I like its uniqueness. I think it is perfect and because it is what it is, it feels super safe. Despite other comments, i didn't mind the walk to the subway station, didn't think it was that far. A rather nice walk actually.

They were really helpful whenever I needed something, like iron for example. Rooms and bathrooms are clean so is kitchen and generally the whole place.

This Stockholm hostel is in a quiet area by Tantolunden Park, in the vibrant district of Södermalm. It offers a restaurant, 2 communal kitchens, as well as free pasta and a free public internet computer.

The hostel was surprisingly really nice and it exceeded our expectations. We had a really nice stay there. It does not feel like an hostel and the location by the sea is amazing. We were 3 friends in a bedroom of 4 and we did not have anyone else in the room. The hostel offer 2 options for breakfast and the outside terraces are really peaceful to eat. The kitchen is big and have everything you need inside.

Featuring a shared lounge, the 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The property is 2.3 km from Vasa Museum, and within 2.3 km of the city centre.

I was blown away at the aesthetic and cleanliness of the property! Definitely exceed my hostel expectations and I most especially loved the social vibe that created in the common room (where there is free tea, coffee and snacks) as we conversed with Marko and Gena. They honestly care and are so passionate about maintaining good hospitable relations with their guests. The rooms are accessed via your phone which made check-in seamless and convenient, Also very convenient with the 1 minute walk to the bus stop. Would definitely come back again if I ever return to Stockholm!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The room was beautifully designed and very comfy. I had a little reading nook by my window and considering I booked one of the cheaper options available it did not feel like a budget room at all. It really felt like a lot of care was put into everything. Activities were always available, almost like a hostel atmosphere but with ten times the luxury. Honestly, it felt like the hotel itself could be a tourist attraction! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location is a two minute walk away from T-centralen so super handy!

    great value for money, the location is superb - one bridge away from the old town, on beautiful Sodermälm island. for a price of two bunk beds in big hostel room you get a cosy private cabin for two right in the heart of the city 😍 also there is a kitchen, which is a salvation for budget tourist

    I hesitated writing a good review, because it feels like I discovered a well-kept secret. Totally worth the cheap price, set in a wonderful location, close to the center, in peaceful surroundings, and a standard that is worthy of upmarket hotels, yet with the affordable price of a youth hostel. Friendly staff too. We'll definitely be back.

    Great hostel, with a really convenient location, 5 min walk from the Central station and Arlanda express and not far from the touristic spots. . The 4 people room is basic but clean, with two bunk beds and 4 lockers. The hostel is mostly quiet and in a safe zone (had no issue walking alone at night as a girl). I loved also the sauna that is perfect after a full day walking in the cold weather! The staff are always available 9am-8pm or via Whatsapp.

WC and showers were clean, hairdryer provided, Wi-Fi included and good speed, kitchen facilities were good, luggage storage was very convenient. Hostel is on third floor with each room having key code. There was elevator so going up or down wasn't a problem. Rooms felt safe and secure.
