Convenient, cheap, clean, and fun. Near Slussen subway, McDonald's, a huge supermarket, delicious herring stand, reindeer sandwich truck, and many buses. Beautiful views from everywhere on the boat. Nice staff who let me eat my own food at a waterside table at night, a great way to wind down. Steps from Old Town and cool Soder. Good breakfast with caviar from a tube, decent coffee, and toast. Waves will rock you to sleep like a baby.

The location of this hostel is just fine, very central, Between the Old Town island and Södermalm.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my friends in a 4 bed room in the hostel part. The room was ok, just enough place for the beds and 2 small closets for bags and coats. The showers were in the corridor, very basic, but with nothing wrong and with good warm water.

Breakfast can be bought for 50SEK and had all the basics. I think this is worth to buy because you would probably spend more eating out, even if buying stuff at a supermarket.

The only minus is that it didn’t smell really great in the room (nothing unbearable) and you could see its not that kilts mattresses and that stuff are clean every day or so. Anyway have to bring your own sheets or hire at the reception.

There’s also a bar in were you can seat and drink beer while watching the Nobel dinner as we did. In summer the place must be really nice because you can be at the open-air deck just above and even have breakfast there.

This was the cheapest 4-bed room I could find in Stockholm and having that in mind it was definitely worth it!

I stayed at the Gustaf af Klint in late June 2005. I was in the hotel section which gave me a small room with a sink and a rather large TV. The toilet and shower were just a few feet down the hall. I also got breakfast as part of the deal. Breakfast consists of cereal,yogurt,coffee,tea,juice,milk,bread,cheese,cold cuts,and hard boiled eggs. You can eat as much as you like but can't take any back to your room which you wouldn't want to do because the view was so beautiful from the breakfast room.
The location is a short walk to the Old Town and there is a metro station just across the street if need but you probably won't. The down sides to this hotel are that it is a boat and if you don't have your sea legs then you will bounce around a little and that the top deck is a restaurant and you will hear people walking if you are back before 19,00. Also because of the restaurant you have to keep your door locked whenever it is open for there are at times people walking around.
All and all for $70 a night you get alot. A friend of mine stayed in the hostel side for a night for $30. But she brought her own sheets and didn't buy the breakfast. This is a good hotel for those on a strict budget, travelling alone or who want something a bit different.
My first choice would be the Chapman if you can get in it but if not then the Klint is a very good second choice.

This is a boat, moored very near to the Gamla Stan (old town), which can be viewed from your porthole. The cabins are basic, and you have to share the bathroom, but the position, price, and views make up for this. We had a triple cabin (for 2 of us), but budget travellers can book into the dormitories. Breakfast, which is fine, is optional. We will definitely use it again.
