Each simple room at the environmentally-friendly Castanea Old Town Hostel has wooden floors and access to shared bathroom facilities.

Paula was super nice and it was a wonderful welcome to Stockholm! The hostel is right in the center of Gamla Stan and it’s a 5 minute walk to any destination in old town. We stayed in a twin room and it was very cozy, and all of the common areas and bathrooms were well-kept. It was very clean and organized, and we never had to wait to use any facility. I absolutely loved this hostel and would definitely stay again if I were ever to return to Stockholm!

This hostel is housed in a refurbished 1800s prison building, on the central Stockholm island of Långholmen. Surrounded by greenery, it offers a restaurant, a shared kitchen and free Wi-Fi and parking.

It was definitely an interesting experience which I would recommend to anyone who is up for something a bit different! The entire place was very well renovated and well furnished, with a lot of different types of accommodation and different spaces both private and common. Each "cell" is vey clean and comfortable. The musem is available to all guests and has very interesting stories and exhibits. The location is also very beautiful and close to the station so you can get to the center in no time.

Just 10 minutes’ walk from Stockholm Central Station, this eco-friendly hostel offers free WiFi. Facilities include a guest lounge with a microwave and fridge.

Rådhuset Metro Station is 75 metres from Nomad Cave Hostel. Stockholm’s old town, Gamla Stan, is an 8-minute ride away.

A hostel in the best sense of the word. There are a lot of cheerful young guys, many communicate, eat together and watch movies. The person is kind and unobtrusive. It is very convenient that SMS comes with codes from the front door, the door to the room and from the room where you can leave things. I really liked that there are curtains, a lamp and a socket on the beds. And a locker for things.

Located on Skeppsholmen island in Stockholm, this STF hostel is split between a late 1800s ship called Af Chapman and former navy barracks called Hantverkshuset. Moderna Museum and East Asia Museum within walking distance.

It was a fantastic place to stay for a reasonable price in the heart of stockholm. I felt comfortable and enjoyed my time. I recommend bringing earplugs, for a silent sleep, as some of the other guests in the dorm might be snoring throughout the night.

incredible value for the money in Stockholm for a private room with a bathroom. the hostel is on a basement floor so there are no windows in most rooms, but we found it helpful for sleeping - it’s dark and quiet. the rest of the day we were out.

    I like everything in the hostel. This hostel is one of my top 3 best hostels for now. Excellent location - only 6 minutes walk from the train station. The cozy environment especially the reception first-floor seating area is so cute with the Christmas decor. It's a big room and the bed is comfy. Friendly and helpful staff. Everything is perfect! Thank you! :)

    Location was amazing, very close to the city centre as well as a metro station to reach other attractions. Generally it was surprisingly clean (our expectations are usually very low when staying overnight at cheap hotels/hostels) as we arrived they cleaned all the shared bathrooms (I think they did that daily)

    Great hostel, with a really convenient location, 5 min walk from the Central station and Arlanda express and not far from the touristic spots. . The 4 people room is basic but clean, with two bunk beds and 4 lockers. The hostel is mostly quiet and in a safe zone (had no issue walking alone at night as a girl). I loved also the sauna that is perfect after a full day walking in the cold weather! The staff are always available 9am-8pm or via Whatsapp.

    It's impossible to get a better deal in the Old Town of one of Europe's most expensive cities. If you're on a budget and you want to stay on the island of Gamla Stan, this is where you should stay. The shared bathrooms were very clean and called them "shared" is a bit of stretch. All the toilet/shower combos have locking doors in them. It was far more comfortable than a university dormitory.
