Pros +
- The receptionist is really kind and friendly. The lounge is comfy.
- Price/performance ratio was good. Friendly staff. In General, Hostel was clean.
- They are really good at their proposition. Small and cheap but really good and clean. The couple that runs it is really nice ?
Cons -
- There's a poor sound insulation, and the shower room is with curtains, not with doors.We need to pay for bedding, it's not included.
- No windows, a little bit cold. Linens and towels was in charge as extra
- They gave me the smallest room I’ce ever seen in my life, with a 3 bed! No table, no space at all. I slept my phone under my pillow, because theres nowhere I can put it. My backpack was in the bed with me. Nowhere to lock it, just small locks. And how many beds in the room wasn’t mentioned, the staff didn’t even told me, I had to see it.

The location is right in front of the metro but..

Staff was outstanding and friendly very helpful. Working hard to make sure you have what you needed and keeping it clean and comfortable
Rooms small, dirty, and so on. Weird people around, I don't know, I didn't like.
We didn't like the hostel. We left the hostel after one night with no sleep and found another place
Extra fees for sheets that did not look clean, had old spots. The room has no windows, and that is not specified on booking.com. The size of the room is small and the ventilation works very badly.
Very friendly and helpful staff, good central location, spacious showers and you can do laundry there too. It's also nice that it's very calm and you can actually get some rest there which is great during sometimes stressful travels.
Everyone we met was pleasant, and the common space was useful. Everything was clean. The location was terrific for our sightseeing plans.
I understood the bathroom was not in the room, and I've had accommodations like that before, but in this case it would have been helpful to know that if you're in a triple room, the bathrooms are down a hall, down and up steps, through the common space.
The hostel is conveniently located near train stations and basic grocery stores. There’s a Thai food street right outside, along with plenty of cafés and restaurants in the area. The cleanliness exceeded my expectations, and even the shared bathroom spaces were well-maintained and not an issue at all.
The rooms are quite compact, and we occasionally found ourselves bumping into each other. However, since we stayed for just two nights, it wasn’t much of a problem.
The nr 1 hostel in Stockholm! The manager is so sweet, hostel is new, fresh and clean. Safe and calm. Window to corridor, TV in room.
Not much to be honest.
I saw several bedbuggs in my room. I closed my bag and left as soon as I noticed. I did not like the way you got you door code - in an old already opened envelope, where anyone living there could know the code. It felt very unsafe. The place was very dirty.
Dirtiest place ever. Many bedbugs in the bed.
The bed had so many bedbugs. Unbelievable. I didn't stay and immediately left the hostel after complaining about it to the reception.
Friendly and helpful manager.
Unfortunately when you sleep in a dormitory there's always a chance one of the guests will be a snorer. I struck one of the worst here and I spent much of the night out in the lounge.
The manager was very nice, he was the only redeeming part
The hostel was infested with bed bugs. They were in the room got bitten to ....... tou can add the missing word. They were even in the sofas. The manager did give me a refund. And did wash a set of clothes over night (I arrived too late to go anywhere else ) and bagged them so I had a bug free set of clothes in the morning then washed everything else for me including bags the next day. He said the owner will only do a few rooms at a time so it will never get rid of the problem. It needs shutting down and doing properly. Don't stay here it is extremely bad.
Staff was nice and greeted me well. Location is quaint.
Room was full of bed bugs, so I had to solve some other accommodation on my own as I was not going to stay in that room.
Passable
A lot of the other guests didnt clean dishes and left the kitchen filthy. When I arrived there was no sign indicating how to get linens and so I didnt have any until my last night.
No thing
There is no park, I couldn't sleep I, was bok days but I slept one night and it was crazy. I couldn't sleep until kl 2 because people opened the door.
NOTHING, everything is bad at this place.
THE BED BUGS WERE JUST RUNNING DURING THE NIGHT, and I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. WHENEVER I WAS TURNING ON THE LIGHTER, THE BED BUGS WERE JUST RUNNING AND I WAS SCARED, COULD NOT SLEEP FOR 3 NIGHT IN THE RAW, AT THE END I ASKED THE RECEPTIONIST TO GIVE MY MONEY BACK FOR THE LAST FORTH DAY SINCE I DID NOT STAY, AND HE REFUSED, SO THEY ARE JUST TAKING MONEY AND NO COMPENSATION, AND THAT IS WHY IT IS A NON REFUNDABLE ROOM. IT IS DISGUSTING, A PLACE FULL OF WEIRD STAFF, PEOPLE WHO WERE LIVING THERE ALSO SEEMED QUITE WEIRD AND NOT EVEN A TOURIST. I WENT THERE JUST BECAUSE I DID NOT IMAGINE THAT THE BEF BUGS WOULD RUN ON ME, BUT I KNEW IT IS NOT THE CLEANEST PLACE EVER. AWFUL I WOULD SAY, JUST DO NOT BOOK ANY ROOM HERE. I REMEMBER AND I WANT TO VOMIT.
Location
I wasn't provided info for the door code.When I got there I had to call someone as the reception was closed. This person told me that he couldn't find my booking and didn't have a room for me. After pressuring him, he allocated me in a room that wasn't even for guests, very messed up and unorganised. As I didn't have an option, I ended up spending my worse night in many, many years yeara.
