The apartment is very big but the bathroom is not very equipped to many people and 2 beds are in front of bathroom. The kitchen was clean and functionnable. And the apartment is close to underground : 10 mins to walk. The sauna is very appreciable.
the layout of the apartment.

I stayed here during New Year's Eve with four other people. We booked a private apartment for a cheap price. The location is in a quiet place near the center of Stockholm.
Once arrived at the structure it was mandatory to buy bed linen. It would be easier to directly include this expense in the price of the room. There were no bath towels in the apartment.

I loved the vibe of the place! So much that it was actually my second stay there, after 5 years :) Itâs also one of the most beautiful hostels Iâve ever stayed in. The place is clean, with great common spaces, but not a party type, so you can hang out with people but also get a good sleep. Staff was super nice and helpful. Kitchen is fully equipped - I find it important to not have to eat all meals outside, especially in an expensive city like Stockholm. The game changer was an option to join a group chat for guests - super cool for solo travellers to find a company for some activities (this way I got a companion to the amusement park)! Also even though the reception isnât open 24h, thereâs a solution if you arrive late. And the location is perfect, a couple of minutes from the metro and central bus station.
Two weak points for me: âą the beds - they are comfy, but a bit squeeky and Iâd love a curtain for some more comfort in the dorm âą no windows / a very small ones in some rooms - it is written in the description of the rooms, so I was aware, but still I missed the natural light inside ;)

We like the vibe and the general concept. We like how lively it is, and that overall it was quite clean and nice. This hostel was very communal, it had a shared kitchen that had everything you need, social spaces, games and computers, so many people hanged around. Sauna was amazing! Its also in a Very convenient location, near the central station, and also a pretty live-music place called Fasching (We recommend!). Lastly, the spatial organisation of the hostel is original and interesting, see for yourself^^
Maybe for people who have solid sleep it s not such a problem, but for those of us who sleep lightly, it s hard to get a good rest. Especially in the shared rooms. The doors are also very loud and you canât leave the room or come back without making lots of noise. Also, it would be super cool to have some little shelves to hold toiletries in the shower. Lastly, sometimes there was no toilet paper in the toilets on the ground floor (especially in the evenings).

Nice location, close to the station. Lots of facilities at walking distance like restaurants, supermarkets etc. Staff is friendly and helpful. Kitchen facility is availble which is great but it can get crowded at dinner time so you may have to wait a little. Lobby is very lively and there is coffee facility in the lobby. You can get lot of information about the city from the reception staff, they are really helpful. you can store your luggage also in case you are early for check-in, which is great. Overall i had a comfortable stay here.
I think it is a bit pricey, the value for money is not great.

This truly has been my favourite hostel across Europe following months of travel. The location was perfect, just outside of the mayhem of the central area but everything within walking distance including shops and restaurants and cafes. The room was clean, and I shared it with lovely girls. Kitchen also well stocked and had individual fridges each room. This hostel was large and sometimes they feel overwhelming and isolating but there was the perfect balance of cosy and intimate hang out areas to make it feel small and fun.
I guess the downside of being near a train station and in somewhere like Stockholm most nights there was guests coming in late and leaving early in the morning without even seeing them.

Had a really good time as a solo traveller. The common areas are spacious and facilitate social interactions with other travelers really well. All the spaces were really clean and well furnished. The free ice skate rental and the free pasta were a nice addition as well. The location was pretty good too, close to the central station and most hotspots were walkable.
A sink in the room would have been nice, but there were honestly enough sinks, toilets and showers close to every room. Also, half of the rooms are below ground so they donât have windows, so if you donât like that sort of room itâs good to know or to ask for one with a window.

The premises are very clean and safe. Thereâs free coffee from 11. The dormitory is comfortable with crispy perfect sheets for 35 SEK. The kitchen gets crowded at peak times, but since everyone was very kind, courteous and trying to help others here it was no problem. They also have surprisingly accommodating and professional volunteers here who I felt very safe and comfortable asking them to help me. All in all a very well run hostel which is well worth the money in central Stockholm âïžđžđȘ The high points of my stay was the Swedish reception girl with the cap (name unknown) and most of all Gustav, the complete star âïž at reception who every time I wanted assistance went above and beyond his way to make sure my stay was comfortable. I also repeatedly saw him doing this for other guests. He could easily work in a 5 star hotel with his natural and genuine ability for service and his extra touch to make the guestsâ stay unforgettable đ All in all a great budget option for Stockholm.

Location is super good and convenient. Staff is super nice and very helpful. You have everything you need within the property. They have free luggage room to keep your stuff while you are away, which has own security system for protection. They also have a sauna room which is very cool. They have a common kitchen area, you can cook food or store your food in fridge/freezer.
The rooms are scattered in multiple floors and bathrooms are only located in the Basement. If you stay on ground floor level, then you need to go to basement to take a shower. They do have a laundry room however, they do not have an iron to iron the cloths.
