    Sheets and a towel aren't included, so ensure that you bring your own, include this in your initial booking, or account for it when you arrive.

    Good location, accessible by different modes public transport. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were acceptable.

    I didn’t like the fact you need to rent your sheets and do yourself the bed. But the sheets were really comfortable and smelled good! We bought the breakfast at 10h15 at the reception. The receptionist was extremely nice and allowed us to compare the hostel and hotel breakfast before we buy it. We ended up buying the hostel breakfast, which looked good. When we started to get food and coffee (10h20), the waiter started to remove everything without even letting us know it was about to close. Only when I asked if she was removing everything (10h25) she answered in her non existing English only “closed!”. I tried to tell her that no one told us about the finish hours but she was just rude and kept on saying “closed” and taking everything away.

    The property was super cosy and clean. The shared areas were comfortable.

    Did not experience one instance of displeasure.

    Incredibly affordable, impeccably clean with a delightful staff. Really appreciated the guest kitchen. Spotlessly clean and a delight to prepare meals in. Perfectl location. In the city center but surrounded by peace and nature. Last but not least, there is a sauna available to have all to yourself for a very small fee. Many thanks for a brillant stay in Stockholm!

    Air is a bit too dry, would be great if there was an air humidifier. I usually visit hostels when travelling and the following never happened to me: you gotta pay for towels and bed sheets. Prices for that are average of a meal in Stockholm. So be prepared to pay some more for that.

    The location is like a fantasy place, very cool and quiet. Staff is very friendly.

    Very cute hotel but the paid sheets policy is absurd and looks like profiteering off tourists
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple

    You either need to bring your own bedsheets or pay for them on the spot and then put them on yourself. This is actually present in the "small print" part of the hotel page on Booking and I read it in the reviews so it didn't come as a surprise but... It is ABSURD. Especially that the hotel rooms look like kind of nice, you know? It is cozy and pretty stylish in its little romantic rustic way and... Having to dress your own bedding into linen (that is cheap, it has the corners cut out and you cannot close the end with pins or buttons...) is just absurd. Of course, doing this is not beyond me, as I do it all the time at home but on a holiday I'd prefer not to. If we were guests of the hostel part in a hostel room I'd be more understanding but why do this to the hotel guests who paid for a nice room? I don't really understand why they want to get my extra €10-20 this much. Of course all the people coming in with public transport will NOT have their own sheets with themselves, that's nonsense. We didn't go to a camping bungalow.

    A very cute, rustic elegant style hotel. The staff was super nice and the €9 breakfast was filling and had many options, even if a bit pricy - but you won't get anything cheaper nearby. You can get to the metro (tunnelbanan) Zinkensdamm with 10 min walking max but we literally walked all the way to the old town. It is located in a great residential area with lots of greenery so we really enjoyed walking around.

    The bed was not comfortable. Room and shared facilities are pretty old. There is no dishwasher in the kitchen.

    Pretty good location, not far from the metro station. A lot of shared facilities inside the hotel. Generally clean and convenient enough. Good that there's a sauna - it feels very appropriate after a long day of sightseeing.

    Most of the youth groups staying at the hostel were well-behaved, but some of the children were unsupervised and were running up and down the halls. Be aware that this is a hostel, and you can expect large youth groups.

    It is very clear that bedsheets are not included in the price, so no surprise there. It is still common in Sweden and Norway, but we think the price should reflect the service with the bedsheets, as most people will need them. Neither good or bad, the hostel reminded us the ones I stayed in 20 years ago.

    The staff is really nice and helpful. The breakfast is good. We arrived early and the room was ready, so they let us in our room right away, which was very appreciated.

    There was a buzzing of electricity in my room, but I’m exceptionally sensitive. It was better with earplugs

    Just gorgeous location, quiet in a park, a bit remote if you are on a budget and have a big suitcase, not easy to get there a/out a vehicle. If you don’t have a big suitcase to carry, then it’s fantastic. Nice cafe

    They made me pay for bedlinen, even being a STF member. Beds are a bit difficult to climb for adults and rooms a bit small of you share (we took the whole room so that was ok for us)

    Kitchen, good sizes and several toilets available. Several employees 24h cleaning so with that and very good community, I could not find an instante that was not clean. I like that it is NOT a student hostel but you see people all ages.

    Nice, old house. Very quiet neighborhood. Nice, big room, comfy bed and feather pillows. We didn't sleep at all, had problems with getting there, and were exhausted. The owner was super nice and let us check in earlier, so we finally got to sleep in the comfy bed. Fantastik bakery around the corner.
