PRISVÄRT BOENDE !!!

Pratar ingen svenska ? Svårt att höra i porttelefonen instruktionen på engelska! Hade uppskattat om den också togs på svenska ! Dubbelrummet ljust och fräscht med 2stora fönster med djup nisch som man kunde använda som extra hylla. Sköna fräscha sängkläderna Perfekt läge i gamla stan med alla uteställen direkt på Nygatan ! Hade önskat bättre städat och koll på t.ex den flytande handtvålen på toaletten. Pappershanddukar saknades ! Blev att man torka händerna med det tunna toapappret !Pris

Trevliga men små rum mitt i gamla stan. Tag med öronproppar då det hörs tydligt upp från Stora Nygatan. Små toaletter och duschrum som kunde vara i bättre skick.

Sijainti 5/5

Siisti paikka. Lakanat, pyyhkeet, yms hyvässä kunnossa. Talo on aika vanha joten miten kiiltävän puhdasta en odottanutkaan. Sijainti ja hinta ovat erittäin hyviä.

Liked it compared to the price

It was quite hard to bring a 23kg carrier to the hostel as the road was full of bricks and there was no elevator. However, the service was good, the kitchen was find without the fact that the trashcan is only being cleaned on Mondays. Also, don't forget to remember the key numbers to the front door and floor door. I almost forgot to write that there were people yelling outside the hostel over midnight saying "Wake up" and it was very annoying. Overall I liked the hostel compared to the price.

Läget bra, rum ok men ogästvänligt.

Priset och läget gjorde det ok! Vi stannade bara en natt kom vid 20.00 och skulle vidare med tåg tidigt morgonen efter. Svårt att höra i porttelefonen som kort person när det var livligt på gatan utanför. Ingen personal på plats. Fick gå ut till porttelefonen för fråga om utcheckning. Lyhörda rum. Skulle försöka hitta ett gästvänligare ställe nästa gång!

Ömsom vin, ömsom vatten

Kändes inte speciellt gästvänligt. Porttelefon men ingen fanns i receptionen trots att personal då borde finnas. Mycket rop och skrik på Stora Nygatan så inte lätt höra vad som sades i telefonen. Rummet mot Stora Nygatan var ok. Inte stort dock. Bra toalett- och duschutrymmen. Har bott på bättre ställen i Stockholm till samma pris. Men läget är ju superbt!! Bättre kan det inte bli, mitt i Gamla stan.

Ej riktigt nöjd

Bas sängkläderna var smutsiga/ofräscha o fick bytas. Rummets utseende motsvarade inte reklambilden. Mkt lyhört kunde utan vidare följa ett telefonsamtal i rummet intill. Trevlig man som bytte sängkläderna ( kudde,täcke o madrassöverdrag).

Trevligt att bo så billigt mitt inne i stan. Snyggt och rent. Tyvärr tog toapappret på vån 2 slut redan under kvällen och fylldes inte på. Men finns fler toaletter på 1.a våningen. Läs infopapprena man får om frukostställen i närheten med rabatt, det missade vi.

Prisvärt boende, i Gamla stan. Läget är kanon. Hjälpsam, trevlig personal. Inget kök att kunna laga egen mat i är ett minus.

Trevligt mitt i gamla stan! Väldigt tyst från de andra gästerna, lite mer liv utifrån som enkelt stängdes ute med öronproppar. Sängen var skön men väldigt smal och något nerlegad.

You get what you pay for, and that is fine!

Absolutely fine place at that low price. Comfortable beds in a clean room, clean common bath and toilet. No personel present (but a hotline if need be). Very central, 10 minutes from the station. I will certainly come back if I simply need a decent sleepover.

Super Lage auch direkt neben der Metro und in der Altstadt also hätte nicht besser sein können ! Zimmer sauber und sehr schön, auch das gemeinschaftsbad war sehr sauber ! Leider konnte man die Zimmer nicht richtig verdunkeln, sodass es die ganze Nacht durch die Straßenlaternen sehr hell war ! Und man konnte nach dem Auschecken das Gepäck nicht im Hostel lassen! Aber ansonsten nur zu empfehlen!!
