Summary: Best hostel with sauna on a budget 😄 Definitely will comeback when visit Stockholm

Positive: The staff was kind and the beds were comfy. The location is good, walking distance from the center and the train station. It's nice that you can be social if you want, but don't need to.
Negative: The place was like a maze, hard to find nearby toilets and showers. The rooms next to the court yard have very loud music on some nights. While luckily people seem to stick to the 23:00 silent rule, some nights it's impossible to fall asleep before that.
Summary: Comfortable, nothing crazy

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great location (near train station and shopping street, but quiet), clean, comfortable, free pasta, coffee and tea, beautiful interior
Negative: Loud doors, have to pay for bedsheets (can't bring your own), with the way bunk beds are arranged, you feel everything not only from the person you share yours with, but also the others on the same side of the room
