- on the water, close to everything
- Nice view from the room. Clean shower room. Nice friendly staff. Well equipped kitchen.
Cons -
- NOT suggest if you looking for a good rest. It's wood made and room is under the deck. The young people back to their room during the sleeptime, with their extremely loud noise and footsteps. It's just like a live show, although live in a diffrerent room.
- Slow checkin due to outdated system

Nice view from the room. Clean shower room. Nice friendly staff. Well equipped kitchen.
Slow checkin due to outdated system
Kind and helpful staff, cleanliness and location
We had a long layover on New Year's Eve so we stayed as a family of four with two teens and everything was great. Beds and room were very comfortable, the showers, bathrooms and common areas are kept very clean. Couldn't beat the location, we could just hop outside to see the fireworks at midnight and come back in to the warmth.
Perfect location. Clean and functional. Very enjoyable

Amazing location beautiful views. Family of five. We had our own room.
Right next to the National Gallary. Grogous views at night also.
Breakfast was good, but I will do something else next time.
Perfect location! Lovely atmosphere, clean spaces, cozy room, friendly and helpful staff
I skipped the breakfast, the look of it didn’t impress me
Location is amazingly central, just a short walk from the Gamla Stan touristic center.
The hostel dormitory I was in had no privacy: the beds were arranged like common hospital wards in old films, or military basic-training barracks. Everyone, from any point in the room, could see everyone else.
Convenient if location , it is do vibrant easily close to majorvtourist aztractions
I dont like the mixed dorm room in terms of comfortable and privacy .but the other point is all goods
The location was absolutely perfect - right in central Stockholm with easy walking access to all the major sights. The shared amenities were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Great value for money, especially considering the prime location and welcoming atmosphere.
The only minor thing was that the shared bathroom could get a bit busy during peak morning hours. However, this is totally expected and understandable in a hostel setting, and it was always kept clean.
I loved the location most: Skeppsholmen is a virtually car-free museum island, with several museums like the Moderna Museet all located on the island within a very short walking distance from the property. Gamla Stan (the Old Town) is also a short ferry ride away (but you can walk there, too). The property is very well maintained, totally clean, and well-run with friendly staff.
The location is a big magnet to those who want to have a glimpse of Stockholm's past. The view is stunning and conducive for walking.
There were only few toilets and showers. I am not comfortable with the toilet since it can be both used by male and female. There should be a designated toilet for men and women just like the shower rooms.
Only the location is great. Although you can walk here in 10 minutes from other hostels.
You stay with many weirdos at a military style hallroom. Everyone can see every bed of 16 beds. Go there if you want to experience how uncomfortable military service feels like.
The location is fantastic and the view from our window was glorious. The beds were super comfortable, and though shared, the bathrooms and showers were convenient and clean. The shared kitchen as well as the café downstairs provided options for breakfast depending on our mood/budget. Overall, a fabulous stay.
The only thing I thought could have been provided was hand soap in the rooms and shampoo/shower gel in the showers. I feel the cost of a stay could cover those basics.
The best place to stay in Stockholm, this was our 4th time there. Great location, kind staff, good kitchen, very nice breakfast buffet and Cafe Skeppsholmen downstairs.

I loved the location and the surroundings. It was clean and guests and staff courteous.
Buy a membership in the org.save cashTaxis will rip you off getting therestf is located at the bridge basically to the island.Breakfast was good.I was in the dorm. Good value. Yet no privacy
People in dorm really fart a lot! .get near a window .no soap in the showers..Website could have better info on transport there Taxis will rip you off. Be very specific I was charged 40 dollars to go to the Viking terminal 1km away...he did an elaborate run.around. a real jerk. He also said. ,"Buy uber its cheaper." He also drove uber! Really horrible creep. He just laughed Super jerk from Nigeria.in stockholm for 15 years.
Excelent location. I stayed in the 16-bed room. I thought I was going to be uncomfortable, but it was actually very good. They're all single beds. No bunk beds. During my stay, everybody was quiet and respectful. I had to do my bed on arrival, and it wasn't a big deal. Some people complain about it in their reviews. The bathrooms were super clean, and you had to push the bottom every 30 seconds in the shower to get water. Again, it wasn't a big deal. Some people also complain about this. The wifi was great, and the kitchen facilities were good. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.
