One of the best options to stay in Stockholm on a low budget! The hostel is small and it makes the atmosphere of the place. I had a dormitory with four beds. It was large enough to move. There were some chairs inside, as well as a mirror and hangs on a wall. You may use Internet for free in... More

This is the first time I've stayed in a hostel and I thought it was a great place, I was there with myself and two other friends in a four bed dorm; the fourth bed was used by two people on different nights both of whom were friendly. During our four night stay we paid around £100 each (slightly under... More

After being forced to try and cut down my travel budget , I've decided to try and book hostels instead of hotels. I must say I booked a single room ( shared bathroom ) and it was perfectly ok for my needs. Pros Cost ( approx £60 pn ) Very clean ( including shared showers / toilets ) Location -... More

We found 2 bed bugs in our room (9) the morning of 10/15/11 and one of the travelers in our party is covered in bites. Be careful if you're staying here! We let the manager know but she was not responsive and first accused us of lying and then accused us of bringing them. We have never seen a bed... More

We have owned the hostel for 5 years and it has been around for 8 years We have never had this problem The day when you were checking out we found you in the stairwell and packed your bags, but none of you said something to us. We asked several times why you were on the stairs because we thought... More

Me and my friends have enjoyed staying a night in this wonderful cosy hostel right in the middle of Old town in Stockholm. The bathroom was as clean as my own! More

We stayed in a private room at Archipelago. The price included free internet which was a bit off and on and there was a tv in the room with cable. The location was great on Gamla Stan, close to the metro and buses. A short walk to shops, cafes and restaurants. The staff were really friendly and made us feel... More

No hassle place, just a simple nice place with the necessary things. Short opening hours at the reception, but very welcoming people. Good for experienced travellers. More

I was surprised by the negative reviews. Perhaps it was before the bathrooms were renovated. It is basic as far as hostels go. Beds, private toilets, stall showers. All very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. There's a PC for some internet surfing in the check-in room. The location truly could NOT be better. It's in the heart of... More
