Reviews
Convenient location and great hostel. You can book a room or take a dorm depending on your budget. The kitchen is a brilliant utility and makes an expensive city much more affordable. They have laundry facilities and an iron if you need it. There are hobs and a microwave and kettle and filter coffee maker. 3 fridges. Most kitchen utensils are available. Great place to stay.
For the price, this is about as good as it gets. My single room was cosy, clean and spacious enough. The kitchen/dining area was nice, and had a friendly atmosphere with the other guests. The shared toilets and showers were very clean. The location is pretty much perfect for any tourist, Soderdalm is a cool area and you can get to central station in 15-20 minutes. The staff were very friendly as well. Thanks again to Diana, who was kind enough to let me use her phone when I had to call my airline.
In April 2026, my husband and I stayed at Skanstull's Hostel and the experience was very positive. The place is quite large, with a wide variety of rooms; we stayed in a private room without a window (which was fine for us!). The place is very clean and organized. The location is wonderful, close to many bars and restaurants and the metro, but we were also able to walk quite a bit and go to other islands on foot, which was great for us! I highly recommend it; excellent value for money!
Great location, just 4 stations from T-Central and close to the city center. The room was a bit small : we were 3 people staying in a private 4-bed bunk room. Unfortunately, there was no fridge in the room. We stayed for 2 nights, and overall, for the price and quality, it was excellent. The people here are friendly. There is also a shared kitchen, which is very convenient. Everything works with key cards, and the place is very clean and well organized. It actually reminded me a bit of my university days—in a good (and slightly funny) way 🙂 The only downside is that the windows face an outdoor area where people usually smoke, so the smell sometimes comes into the room.
Had a good experience in this hostel, met some great people who happened to be in my room! Went for a concert in Stockholm, good location for travellers who need a place near! Check in was straightforward once I read the instructions, but no staff to be seen my entire stay (besides cleaning staff). Rooms were nice with good lockers with locks provided and good plug outlets beside bed. Negatives are that you had to put your own bedsheets on, which is fine but not ideal if arriving late as it can be noisy/ a bit of an ordeal if you have a top bunk. Also wifi code was never provided so had no wifi my entire stay and nobody to contact regarding this. Overall good value decent hostel and I would return on my next trip to stockholm!
