    Please note that this picture of my room was taken just before 2pm during the day. Unfortunately that’s the reality which contrasts with the online pics. Even in a room with a window twice as large since it is all basement level, I could hear not only passers by but even traffic lights beeping. I found myself unable to sleep and with reception only working 2.5 hours during the weekdays (4 hours on Sat and Sun) there’s nowhere I could go apart from another hotel. Obviously no refund or anything like this. Guess I am just another victim of yet another hostel/hotel in a capital where money trumps maybe even construction norms?

    The room had enough space for one person. The shared shower and toilets were also not a problem, because their were plenty of them! One huge advantage: The receptionist. I forgot my key inside the room and the reception was already closed, so I contacted the receptionist, who was already at home, and he came just because of my to the hostel. He said he would be there in one hour, but he managed to come already in 30 minutes. He saved my evening! I really love Stockholm and also this hostel, I would book anytime a room at his hostel again!

    I didn´t like the place and the manager was quite arrogant and not very helpfull when I asked thhem for help. They ended helping me after begging them for keeping my touringbike inside for 2 ninght (but made me feel really bad inside and intimidated me a bit). I really thought they would accept bikes inside but apparently it was a big issue for them to keep a bicycle from a traveller in an empty room. (They could inform the people in the description that bikes are not allowed and everything would be easier). They told me to put it outside without a lock (I didnt have one). The place is claustrophobic and the vibe is quite wear. I would never go back again.

    Great hostel. The setup f the room I was in offered more privacy than most. The locked in room storage was very spacious and held all my belongings easily. All their rooms are co-ed. Didn't use the kitchen, but it looked very well stocked. The bed was comfortable, you have to rent linens (including towel) if you don't bring your own. My room had a window which brought in noise from the street, but it wasn't overly bothersome. The lady who checked me in was very friendly and knowledgeable along with the other staff I encountered. It's not really set up to be a party hostel, so if that's you're intention another place may be better. The location is great, close to the metro, food shops, grocery and many services. Rate was good, didn't try the breakfast.

    I was really pleased with this hostel. I stayed here 10 nights in August and don't have any complaints, even after such a lengthy stay. I felt safe, even though I was in a mixed gender 8-bed room as a young woman with mainly only men as roommates. It was clean and our individual cubbies have locks. The bed was also super comfy! I was a little sad to be leaving it to be honest. The women's shower room was really modern with fancy showers and I never had to wait to use a shower. The kitchen is large with plenty of fridge space (there are 3 massive fridges and 1 freezer) and there were stove tops (no ovens) and free pasta. It was a great communal space and a nice place to eat meals, and I was surprised by how good everyone was about cleaning up after themselves, for the most part. It was the cheapest hostel I could find in Stockholm with good ratings and I would definitely stay here again as I loved the environment, it had all the necessary facilities, it was clean, the staff were friendly, and I had zero issues. Amazing!

    Bit of a strange vibe in this hostel. Not much contact with other guests, who were quite anti-social actually. Feels more like a hotel, but then with shared bathrooms… rooms were clean and simple. Bathrooms were okay.

  • 5/5 Edward M. 5 months ago on Google • 57 reviews
    This hostel is definitely a great value experience. They have some very affordable private rooms, either with or without private bathrooms; as well as bunks in shared dormitories. There is a shared library, as well as cooking facilities and a communal fridge should you wish to use it.

    I stayed 4 nights in a private room. Everything was very clean and nice. The bathrooms are particularly good. Kitchen is excellent as well. Everything is really nicely decorated which helps give it all a cozy feel. The little room I had was well equipped, it even had a TV! Only thing I would say is that reception isn’t open very often. This wasn’t a problem at all for the private room (and they have a very good system for check in when reception is closed). But, this would probably put me off staying in one of the dorms with no one on hand to deal with more disruptive individuals.

    I got the solo room w/ shared bathroom. Pros - bathroom allocated for male & female - bathrooms are regularly cleaned - shared kitchen is huge & has 2 fridges, stove, microwave - there are free snacks & drinks at the kitchen - small library - close to public transpo & grocery Cons - leaving your luggage after checkout is only allowed until 3 pm - walls are too thin, you can hear people snoring - people just leave their shoes outside the door, at the hallway

    Great place for a long and short term stay. The rooms were clean, bathrooms and showers as well. There is also a kitchen, a little library and a café inside. The walls are pretty thick so not much noise was heard during the night. The room I stayed in also had a smart TV! All in all fantastic stay.

    Great Hostel in a good location.Metro station at 3 min. walk. Our room wasn't the largest but more than enough for a couple of days. Very tidy everywhere. Grat Price!

    Amazing hostel - great kitchen and bathroom facilities, extremely convenient check in, friendly staff. Can walk to both old town and nature. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Customer R. 1 year ago on Google
    This hostel is one of the best I've stayed at. It is clean, cozy, and reasonably priced. The staff are considerate, knowledgable, and professional. It is very well managed. The design is unique and creative. The location is good and walkable to many places. They modified operations during the pandemic, but are back up and running again.

    My boyfriend and I were in a private room. Private bathroom attached. Access to the kitchen and laundry. TV in the room. Everything was very clean. Room was cute and unique. Very accessible, the nearest subway is a block away. With easy access to the rest of the city. Our five night stay was very enjoyable. Would stay there again.

    My bed had an adjacent locker with a lock. Still it's always good to bring your own locks. Good interior Beds do not make noise Free Wifi Showers with blow dryers Kitchen has all sorts of utensils, and electric kettle, microwave as well as induction stage. They provide towels, but safe to have your own as well.

    Decent hostel, good kitchen service

  • 5/5 Franziska E. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I stayed in the twin room for 3 nights. The room as well as the entire hostel is very clean. The bathroom is luxurious (incl. Hair dryer) and the kitchen has everything you need. They can be flexible with the check in and check out times which is a great help. While the place is very clean and professional, it also feels very low key and easy to meet people. They have books and games and a washing machine and an iron board. I can highly recommend this place.

    A friend and I stayed here for 3 nights in one of their double rooms with private bathroom. Starting with the positives, the location is quite good with skanstull station 3 mins walk from the hostel and many restaurants and grocery stores in the vicinity. Ofcourse the price is also more affordable vs hotels in an expensive city like Stockholm. The room comes equipped with a big tv where u can watch netflix, youtube etc. the shower is small but adequate. The overall hostel atleast during our stay was tidy and not so noisy. Checkin and out was fairy simple even if the reception isnt working. The negatives… The room is actually smaller than the photos depict and the ceilings are quite low. The cleanliness was not great ; When you arrive to the room you have to put down the bedsheets provided to you and we found quite a few hairs on these “fresh” sheets. The floors also were dusty and we came across a few insects in the room and bathroom. The lighting in the room, in our opinion, was not enough with just a few lamps leaving lots of areas in the room (like the mirror) dark therefore difficult to get dressed. On the flip side when these lights are switched off its absolutely dark.. the room mentions it has no windows but we were not expecting it to be this dark without even a night light or something to be able to orient yourself in the darkness…. Fair warning it makes you feel quite uncomfortable to be in this much absolute darkness. Overall for the price its ok… it gets the job done! but i cant say i would recommend it to anyone either.

    One of the best hostel, where I stayed. It has its soul, its style and concept. Nice open / kitchen space. Great realization of hostel conception. Clever security. Good client approach.

    I had the Covid19 and I asked them if there is a solution for exemple change the dates of the réservation, the only answer they give me It’s : It’s not refundable !

  • 5/5 Christine K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoined my stay in the Skanstull’s Hostel. Everything was clean and comfortable. Thank you!!

  • 2/5 Grazia Jennifer G. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice location. The room was ok, what I didn't like was that the hostel is actually quite dirty: dust is everywhere and the girls toilet was without toilet paper for a few days. Right, you can ask for it, but don’t they see it when they clean the toilets? (If they clean them...?) Also, not many young people staying at the hostel, so the whole experience was different from what a backpacker would expect.

  • 5/5 Célia F. 5 years ago on Google
    The hostel was great! The common kitchen was very handy, and made it easy to exchange with other people. Nice staff, comfy beds (12 beds-room), fantastic showers, and the overall facilities were clean. It was very well decorated too! It is located 2 min walk from the Skanstull metro station, which is 4 stops away from the center. Very easy to travel around! Definitely recommend the place, very good value for money!

  • 4/5 Annapurna M. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice hostel in a great area of Stockholm. Staff are very friendly and helpful. But kitchen area but it's quite understocked - I couldn't find any chipping knives. The female bathroom was really big with plenty of showers but wasn't cleaned very well - and always had pools of water on the floor. Otherwise a nice place to stay and love this area of the city!

  • 5/5 Marie E. 4 years ago on Google
    Overall very clean and modern. Very nice showers and bathrooms and friendly staff. Sheets+towels cost extra, but it is very transparent on their website. Good location close to the center and a subway stop. Late check-in was no problem, everything is explained very well.
