Location is good, but would definitely not recommend staying here. Rooms are way too small and don’t have any ventilation. There are multiple (older) people staying there long term (read: basically living there) and not leaving the small and crowded rooms. Decided we didn’t want to stay there any longer but didn’t get any money back nor a good solution. Beds were small and uncomfortable, bedlinen was broken, zippers wouldn’t close. Bathroom was not cleaned well.

Everything written before me is true. Tiny rooms, no ventilation. Very smelly all night. No staff to provide sheets/towels when needed. Old men living in the rooms perminantly. I should add that only of them one was unfriendly, but he was quite unpleasant and thus the vibe was off/bad. I really dislike how they chose to clean at 9/10am, an hour before chechout and during prime breakfast cooking time. This meant that guests had to dance around the vacuum and move out of the way for table wiping while trying to eat. This also means were done cleaning before we were done cooking / checked out, leaving the place still messy for another 24 hours. I think this cleaning schedule was theatrical, so we could "see" how clean the hostel is and then would write a good review? Location is good and kitchen is large. Not worth. Avoid if you can smell.

Absolutely terrible. This is NOT an accomodation for Tourists. Its overcrowded with shady people (mostly men) that seem to live here permanently. They often do not behave respectfully, so sleeping is nearly impossible. The sleeping rooms are way to small. They put 10 beds together in a 15 sqare meter room without a window. The air is really bad there and it is very smelly. The sleeping rooms are located in the basement and so are partly contaminated with fungus. Turn immediately around, when you find yourself here. Probably every alternative would be better. Hostels like Generator Hostel, Af Chapman or the castanea old town hostel offer multiple bedrooms for cheap prices as well. Unfortunaly they were full as i was in Stockholm, otherwise i would have left this hell of an accomodation called Dalagatan.

Hostel dalagatan has nice kitchen will all equipmentincluding microwave, fridge and dishwasher. Opposite side of the road there is the ICA supermarket to get the ready-to-cook foods and some fruits. Beds are good but the rooms are small. Rents are low. Ventilation can be improved. Don't expect cosy stay but a decent one worth the price.

The hostel is in good condition but unfortunately we didn't have a great stay here. The rooms were very small, so we were lucky to get a small upgrade to the side room of the 11-bed dorm. Even though there was cleaning staff around, the rooms weren't very clean, and neither was the bathroom. Cleaning was done only very superficially, and easy to reach but out of sight areas were full of dust and dirt. Although i saw the bathroom be cleaned it never really felt clean. The cleaning staff also quite uncomfortably tried cleaning around me instead of waiting for a little until I was done, or just asking me to move for a minute. The most pressing issue though, was just the vibes. There were quite a few older people just permanently living there, and very few young people. I never truly felt unsafe (but my travel partner did, both male) but they weren't the friendliest people either. There was one incident where we were sitting and snacking in the reception area late at night, and the guy sitting next to us (working and eating) just threw his plate across the room and smashed it loudly. I would consider that a slight safety hazard... Good points are a clean kitchen, that is properly equipped, working facilities in the bathroom, beds were quite nice, the room lacked any ventilation but was dark and quiet and could be separately locked so it felt more than safe enough and I slept very comfortably.

I booked a "girls only" 4 bed room and was placed in a room with two men who lived there somewhat-permanently, and the 4th bed was male guests on rotation. There was no staff to talk to in the first time of my trip (even during the times when they were supposed to be there) so I eventually accepted my fate and hoped for a safe stay. All went well regarding my safety (eventhough one room mate ended up hitting on me and trying for a kiss...), however it took away a lot of my mental comfort. I had booked specific gender separations for personal reasons, and I ended up being the only woman in a room that was nearly always full. I disliked this a lot. And when I finally asked about it, I was told that the women's rooms were full already and there was nothing to do about it. The room was extremely tiny. Two bunk beds in an L-shape and maybe 1×0,5m space from the door.. can't recommend for people who feel stressed from tony spaces. I felt like Harry Potter in his stair room.. Because these rooms are half underground, the ceilings and corners were shaped roundly and the windows were tiny. In summer the exchange of air was terrible. Lots of damp air. The bathrooms were taken care of regularly, however other guests would sometimes practice poor hygiene in them (e.g. not flush and mess around). The kitchen was amazingly clean. It had dish washers, which helped a lot. There was enough space in the fridge. Wifi worked well. Location was great, near the center, the central station, and shops. I think the price was okay and if you have low expectations you may like it here. Some things are depending on the other guests staying here. Others should be improved. I think they shouldn't offer seperated genders if they can't provide it. There's people with religious reasons, people with fears and traumas, and when they book this seperation, they rely on it. This was also one of the reasons why I chose this place.

Horrible… Rooms are dirty and I didn’t feel safe. Weird people who looked like living in this hostel were chilling in the kitchen all time. They treated me like it was there own. I felt like I could not let my stuff out of my eyes. The rooms don’t have windows and it gives you prison vibes. Do yourself a favour and look for another place to stay!!

Worst hostel ever. Do not book your stay here! Not clean, not safe, tiny rooms and not good vibes. There are some people that look like they live here since ever and are so rude during the night, no respect at all. The new young ones feel like we were disturbing them, it looks like this is their home. Feeling not safe and could not sleep. There are no controls, safety of people is last of the priorities. I stayed only one night and that was awful.

i DO NOT recommend this hostel to anyone. the room was dirty and the AC didn’t work apart from making the room smell of cigarettes. the room was tiny and the lack of windows and personal space made me feel super claustrophobic. also, every person, guest or staff, were rude. reception is only open for like 1 hour a day and the wifi NEVER worked. the only positive thing about this hostel is the great supermarket across the street… i met several people that considered moving hostels as they felt unhappy staying there.

Airless, depressing, windowless room and 8-10 beds in it. I had trouble breathing at night. Beds and pillows smelled bad. Also, the room smelled of sweat. I do not recommend!

I stayed at this property back in 2019 the last time. It was not good back then. It was actually pretty bad and I can understand the bad reviews from past. However, happy to report that they have done a real face-lift and made everything so much better by now (April 2021) Stayed at a 4-bed dorm (for females only) for over a week. Was only planning to stay for a night or two to check it out and possibly move forward but the place was nice so decided to stay. Location - the best; close to Odenplan and Vasaparken, huge plus is the supermarket just across the street Amenities - well equipped kitchen with TV. Clientele - respectful and quiet during my stay. I felt safe. Staff - helpful and really nice. They seemed to have a really good knowledge what is going on and who is staying at the property. Cleanliness - apart from some quests who left their dishes undone, the property was generally well-kept and cleaned on daily basis. The bed-linen is included in the price so it’s real value for your money, compared to some other Hostels that can charge up to 75kr one-time cost for the linen. I respect the fact that this hostel has no hidden costs like that. Also the code-system is well-planned compared to some other facilities I’ve stayed at. No key needed, just your individual code. Would def recommend for anyone and everyone who has the respect of living together with strangers and respecting their space and privacy if they want to. Good place to be 👍

Die Lage des Hostels ist für einen Städtetrip optimal. 10 min Fußweg vom Bahnhof. Auch die Altstadt und andere Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig erreichbar. Supermarkt und großer Park gegenüber. Der Self-Check-In and -Out ist praktisch, in unserem Fall war die Rezension aber nicht wie angekündigt ab 10:00 Uhr, sondern erst ab ca.10:40 besetzt, sodass ich Gepäckraum und Toilette bei anderen Hostelgästen in der Küche erfragen musste. Diese ist gut ausgestattet, allerdings läuft 24/7 der Fernseher und die sehr unangenehmen, teils unhygienischen, älteren Dauergäste hüten die Fernbedienung. Allgemein fragwürdiges Klientel. Im Zimmer gab es - wie angekündigt- kein Fenster, im Raum nur einen kleinen Ventilator und keine Möglichkeit zu lüften. Dadurch auch nachts sehr stickig und heiß. Hygiene ist weitgehend in Ordnung. Dusche befindet sich mitten im Bad, es gibt keine Duschwanne, sodass das ganze Bad, auch Ablagen für Klamotten etc. geflutet wird. Wer eine günstige, einfache Übernachtungsmöglichkeit sucht, ist hier richtig. Als (weibliche) Solo-Traveller würde ich mich woanders umschauen.

Very near to Metro Station and Airport Bus Stop. Clean sheets provided to each customer, clean washrooms. Definitely recommend.

Everything was good, the hostel is clean with proper arrangements of cooking etc but the beds are too soft, i had back pain because of that!

Disgusting place. Bed bugs all over. "Cleaning every day", yet our room had food on the floor under the bed. Only good thing is its location but everything inside the building is poor. Just go to Scandic or something instead

If you don't have a big budget for staying in Stockholm, this is one of the small hostels in the city where you can book a bed in a shared room for less than $40. In my experience, the rooms were not clean enough, but that may have been because some people were staying for many days. My first and only night there was a nightmare for me because I think the person in the next bed had a cold. The room where I stayed was not ventilated.

staff is really nice and helpful, room are small, bathroom not very clean, for the price its fine, good location

the structure was terribly uncomfortable but the worst thing about the whole stay was the complete indifference of the staff and my roommate who on several occasions treated me badly and insulted me and gave me more than a slap without motivation and when I said this to the reception said they can't help it and to bear the situation

Please respond to my email. I forgot my hiking shoes and I really want them back. I hope we can arrange something 🙏

The room was not cleaned, the bed was really hard to get into and there was next to no air ventilation in the room, no wibdow, so I got pretty hot in there.

The hostel is super dirty, I was very worried to stay there, because of the weird people, who live there permanentny, especially one guy who made an impression that he hates me and was shouting at me when I was turning the light on during the day, the beds do not have any railing so if you sleep at the upper one, you can easily fall. I know it’s cheap but I would rather pay more now, than to sleep there ever again.

Worst experience ever! It wasnt even a room, more like a basement storage facility with no Windows and no ventilation.. Sleeping 8 in a space smaller than 10 square meter.. Spend a little extra and go somewhere else.

Actually really good. Very cheap. OK its small and tightly packed but very clean and comfortable. Plus a code gets emailed to you so you can get access anytime. Personally I loved a private shower and sink and toilet. The kitchen area is excellent too. All of it is really modern. Wish I had stayed here all week!

Good quality for a cheap price.The attention was really nice,it was my first time in a hostel and the girl in reception explain me all about the codes and those things. The bathroom was clean all the days,and they have shower also. The kitchen is in the common room,and you have all stuff there( plates, glasses, pans, cutlery,etc) and also a free machine of tea and coffee. The only problem was that my friend have a room with a very thin box office,and she couldn't but anything there,but in my room i had one big box office,and we put our personal stuff there. I recommend it.

April 2021 Very, very nice experience again. Nice relaxed people, super safe environment, great location. I am a pro traveler and I definitely love this place. Absolutely safe hostel with lockers for your stuff. Super clean kitchen etc. In the heart of Stockholm Sweden.

Stayed at this place few nights back in 2019 and that was not so pleasant visit. Really happy to say they have done a clear facelift and this is really good value for money now. (April 2021) Stayed at a 4-bed dorm (for females only) for over a week. Was only planning to stay for a night or two to check it out and possibly move forward but the place was nice so decided to stay.

Also the code-system is well-planned compared to some other facilities I’ve stayed at. No key needed, just your individual code. Would recommend!

Our room was a bit dirty, and we were stolen from the common fridge. I absolutely do not recommend it.

Good hostel but better when you are coming as a group ! Not the cleanest common rooms but still a great place to stay because it’s really cheap !

Me and my friends were supposed to stay at Hostel Dalagatan for two nights, but had to check out after a couple hours because everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. One of our sheets had yellow stains on it and one of them had brown stains as well… later on when we were about to go to sleep, my friend felt something crawling on her pillow. It was a bed lice.. we quickly packed our things and stayed in the lobby for a couple hours before catching the morning train home. Note : we called the “urgent matters” number when we saw the stains on the sheets several times, no answer. We called at 8 PM roughly. At 12 AM when the bed lices were discovered we called several times again, no answer. They promised service on this line between 3 PM - 1 AM, which wasn’t given to us when we really needed them. Such bad service making promises and then not even picking up the phone when a guest calls urgently several times. This was my worst experience at a hostel ever and I do not recommend anyone a stay at Hostel Dalagatan…

We stayed at the room for two with separate bathroom for 3 nights. Small, clean room, very quiet and calm, we had great sleep there given the fact that there are no windows and it is really dark. Perfect location. 4 out of 5 as no shared salt/sugar/vinegar etc. available and you need to buy a big package for cooking one meal. Also, the working hours of the staff is weird, luckily we did need their assistance
