Great value for money and a really comfortable stay! I don’t speak Swedish, so I found it a bit tricky to understand the instructions on the intercom system—especially since the English audio wasn’t very clear. It would’ve been helpful if the messages were also available in Swedish. The double room was bright and fresh, with two large windows and deep window niches that doubled as extra storage space—such a clever design touch. The bedding was clean and crisp, adding to the overall pleasant vibe. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better—right in the heart of Gamla Stan, just steps away from Nygatan, where you’ll find cafes, shops, and local charm at every corner. A few small things could be improved: the room could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly, and there was no refill of liquid hand soap in the bathroom. Also, paper towels were completely missing—had to dry my hands on the thin toilet paper, which was a bit awkward. Still, these are minor issues in an otherwise excellent experience. If you’re looking to explore Stockholm’s historic old town without breaking the bank, this hostel is definitely worth considering.
