I was surprised by the negative reviews. Perhaps it was before the bathrooms were renovated. It is basic as far as hostels go. Beds, private toilets, stall showers. All very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. There's a PC for some internet surfing in the check-in room. The location truly could NOT be better. It's in the heart of... more

We booked this hostel in dec. 08 for a stay in late aug. 09 ie. nearly 9 month prior the stay. 20 days before our stay, the hostel cancel our booking due to overbooking.

So pleased to have stayed here, so central in the old town. Marianne, the efficient, friendly receptionist was always available. She helped everyone feel comfortable at the hostel.

We booked this hostel knowing that it would be a cheap and basic option for an expensive city but nothing prepared us for what was in store! When we arrived to the stench of sewage in the corridor things didn't look good but it just got worse when we realised our rooms were off the main wash and toilet area... more

a nice, clean hostel on a quiet street right in the middle of Gamla Stan. Close to cafes, shops, and subway. Cant ask for more, can you?? BUT.. HERE IS THE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW!...everyone complains how they couldnt find the main reception desk to check in. It took some time for us to find it too..even though we... more
