I loved the convenient location of the hotel in the center of town, made exploring so easy! The rooms were cozy with a bunk bed for 3 adults, and I appreciated having a washroom right by every bunk bed. The service was excellent, especially when I requested a room change. The chopped salads in the dining area were a delightful surprise, though I wish there were more included options.

The hotel is in a prime location in the heart of Stockholm, making it convenient to explore the city. The rooms are impeccably clean and offer the comfort of a bunk bed for three adults, ideal for group travelers. The service was prompt and accommodating, even helping with room changes upon request. However, the dining options were limited, offering only homemade jams for breakfast. Despite this, the on-site facilities provided a pleasant stay.

The hostel is conveniently located in the center of Stockholm, right beside the train station, making it very convenient for travelers. The rooms are clean and comfortable but having a single washroom with a private bathroom located downstairs can be a bit inconvenient. The service was excellent, especially when I requested to change rooms. The dining experience was pleasant with freshly made sandwiches available. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I loved the hotel's central location, making it easy for me to explore the city on foot. The rooms, although without windows, were surprisingly clean and maintained. The service was exceptional, especially when I requested a room change. I appreciated the bonus of laundry services and helpful tour/ticket assistance. The dining experience was satisfying, with fresh fruits a nice touch. On the downside, the lack of a window in the rooms and the compact bunk bed for three adults were slight inconveniences. Overall, a great value for the prime location and service quality.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag: the location was superb, right beside the train station in the city center, making it convenient to meet people and explore the area.
