Stockholm Hostel, hotel in Stockholm

The quiet Stockholm Hostel is located in the Kungsholmen district in central Stockholm, just 3-minute walk from Fridhemsplan Metro Station and very close to the Airport-bus at St Eriksplan.

Excellent location, clean and spacious hostel. Rooms are just adequate. Check-in took a while as it required using codes for door, key box etc. Kitchen is spacious and has all the amenities. Little more discipline would keep it more clean. Found free stuff clearly marked for use in the kitchen. Environment in the hostel is positive and clean.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The room was beautifully designed and very comfy. I had a little reading nook by my window and considering I booked one of the cheaper options available it did not feel like a budget room at all. It really felt like a lot of care was put into everything. Activities were always available, almost like a hostel atmosphere but with ten times the luxury. Honestly, it felt like the hotel itself could be a tourist attraction! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location is a two minute walk away from T-centralen so super handy!

    great value for money, the location is superb - one bridge away from the old town, on beautiful Sodermälm island. for a price of two bunk beds in big hostel room you get a cosy private cabin for two right in the heart of the city 😍 also there is a kitchen, which is a salvation for budget tourist

    I hesitated writing a good review, because it feels like I discovered a well-kept secret. Totally worth the cheap price, set in a wonderful location, close to the center, in peaceful surroundings, and a standard that is worthy of upmarket hotels, yet with the affordable price of a youth hostel. Friendly staff too. We'll definitely be back.

    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.

Hostel is on third floor with each room having key code. There was elevator so going up or down wasn't a problem. Rooms felt safe and secure.
