TL;DR:
It's
a
great
hostel
but
not
as
comfortable
as
a
hotel
would
be.
Great
location,
right
in
the
middle
of
old
town/
Gamla
Stan
area
-
basically
you're
a
5
min
walk
from
anything
on
that
island,
including
the
subway.
Helpful
and
friendly
staff.
Good
prices
for
the
money.
Felt
very
safe
-
private
rooms
have
their
own
keys,
dorm
rooms
have
individual
keypads,
plus
the
building
&
hostel
have
codes
to
get
in
the
door.
If
you're
looking
for
a
hostel
this
is
a
great
option.
Some
downsides/points
to
note
-
the
rooms
do
not
have
any
fans
(let
alone
AC)
so
on
hot
nights
it
can
be
hard
to
fall
asleep
-
although
you
can
open
windows,
that's
about
it.
I
think
the
single
biggest
thing
they
could
do
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
staying
there
would
be
to
add
fans
in
the
rooms.
The
mattresses
are
also
foam
and
thus
stay
warm
which
also
isn't
great
in
the
summer.
You
do
have
to
rent
towels
and
sheets
-
it
was
50
krona
(about
$5)
for
just
sheets
or
65
kr
for
sheets
and
towels
-
totally
fine.
The
shower
room
could
use
more
ventilation,
it
was
always
a
bit
warm
and
damp
in
there.
There's
no
breakfast,
but
there's
a
cafe
around
the
corner
that's
pretty
good.
Laundry
is
another
big
downside
-
they
offer
laundry
service,
but
it's
about
$20
to
have
them
do
the
laundry
and
drying
for
you,
there's
no
self-service
options.
You
have
to
bring
the
laundry
to
them
in
the
morning,
but
what's
nice
is
they
deliver
it
to
your
room
during
the
day
so
you
don't
have
to
wait
around.
Since
Stockholm
(and
Sweden)
don't
seem
to
have
laundromats,
this
is
a
good
option
to
have,
but
it
is
expensive
so
you
don't
want
to
do
it
too
often.
Overall,
it's
a
really
great
hostel
and
none
of
the
above
downsides
really
detract
from
that,
but
it's
good
to
know
going
in.
