Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I’ve stayed at a few hostels in Stockholm, and this one has definitely been the best. The location is perfect, right in Old Town and close to everything. The atmosphere felt more like a family home, with communal rooms, a kitchen, and everything you might need. The staff were very helpful, and Petra and Klara (if I remember their names correctly) were especially friendly and even showed me around the hostel. They really made me feel welcome. Overall, it was a perfect stay.
Negative: The only small downside is that towels and sheets aren’t included in the rent, but this was clearly mentioned beforehand, so it wasn’t a problem.
Summary: Perfect hostel!

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location
Negative: Someone, likely housekeeping, mistakenly assumed I had checked out and removed the sheets from my bed, discarding my belongings from the nightstand. I only found out through an email from the staff, casually asking if I had left early and informing me that all my things were gone. That message alone was deeply stressful. I immediately rushed back to the hostel, interrupting my plans, because they hadn’t responded to my question about the whereabouts of my bag. When I arrived, I was told it was an honest mistake and offered a pair of cheap earplugs as compensation, since mine had been, among the items, thrown away. This kind of oversight is not just inconvenient, it’s distressing. I hope the hostel takes steps to ensure this doesn’t happen to other guests.
Summary: Disappointed by my recent experience

Positive: Everything, specially the amazing kitchen with extremely good quality appliances, the best table wear I've seen in any hostel in my life! Perfect plates, bowls, cups and glasses. The place was immaculate, extremely clean and cosy, the kitchen was the best ever with everything you could wish for at a hostel and Petra was so kind, patient and friendly. The beds were also the best beds in any hostel, including great pillows, bedding and towels. Simply a great experience =D
Negative: The only thing I would add; a very comfortable chunky sofa or 2 of them in different areas of the hostel, that would make my stay an 11* instead of a 10!!
