Archipelago Hostel Old Town

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.

Very good communal area and clean. Check in is swift and easy ring buzzer and have a envelope waiting for you upstairs through the secured coded door. Great location 2 minute walk to metro and ferry 5 minute walk highly recommend

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

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.

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!

Buen ubicado pero mi habitación pequeñita y olía mucho a cigarro !

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.

The room was located INSIDE the shared bathroom. I mean, you must cross the bathroom to get it. Terrible.

It was a good hostel to stay for one night. But the heather was not really working , so the place was a little bit cold. There was

Mycket nöjd, sköna sängar, varmt och skönt rum

Bra utrustat och mysig köksdel.

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).

Det var et fint ophold - ligger et dejligt sted...

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.

The bed sheets with additional cost were unpleasant surprise

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

Klart nöjd!

Fantastiskt läge. Rent och fräscht.

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.

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!!

Ottima posizione. Struttura confortevole e pulita.

Very convenient location

The Hostel was so centrally locates that one could walk to most of the places . The old town has best restaurants to eat .

Erinomainen sijainti. Huoneet perussiistiä hostelli tasoa. Hinta-laatusuhteeltaan erinomainen vaihtoehto.

Sehr sauber, unkomplizierter Check-in, tolle Lage, wenn der nächtliche Trubel nicht stört

Прекрасный хостел в центре старого города. Главный минус - окна выходят на бары-рестораны. Громковато. На кухне не хватает плиты и острых ножей. В остальном все отлично. Удобства на этаже. За 5 дней ни разу не пришлось стоять в очереди или еще как-то ждать.

Hostel muito bem localizado, no coração de Ganla Stan, com varios cafés,lojas e restaurantes ao redor O prédio é antigo, mas a área do Hostel é reformada e em boas condições. Fiquei em um quarto bem tranquilo e silencioso, mas existem quartos ao lado da recepção e em frente ao banheiro compartilhado ( todos gêneros) que devem ser mais barulhentos. A funcionária Natalia é super comunicativa e agradavel e fornece varias dicas.!

The property is situated in the heart of Old Town Gamla Stan.It is about 5 minutes from the nearest train station. It is in an old building which means that you have to carry your suitcase up a long flight of stairs. The rooms are warm. The kitchen has a microwave, kettle and fridge, and tables to sit at. The lady at the front office is very helpful.

- Don't except anything more than small room with a bed. - Be prepared for lots of rules and that you have to pay extra money for bedsheets. - There are signs everywhere with things you cant do. You will find the same things in your room. - I was surprised that there is even a sign which says you cant drink or eat in your room. - There are two rooms which are right next to the common bathrooms. (You open a door from the bedroom and you are right inside of the bathroom). I wish you good luck to not stay in these. There has to be lot of noise. - The wifi connection was really great. - Everything was really clear. I didn't see any dirt.

La ubicación es inmejorable, pubs y restaurantes al lado. El lugar en sí es bastante aseado y tranquilo. El trato del personal podría mejorar y ser más amables en el trato

Near miss check in

Hôtel très bien situé proche du palais royal et du Stockholm historique, très bon accueil, chambre petite mais très propre, sanitaires très propres, qualité prix très correct, à recommander

Ubicado en pleno casco viejo de Estocolmo. Muy bien para el precio que tiene

올드타운을 걸어서 모두 돌아볼 수 있는 위치라서 좋고 샤워장과 세면실의 청결도가 좋습니다

Great accomodation in the centre of Gamla Stan, Stockholm's Old Town. Personally I strongly recommend this Hostel, mostly because od the great location.

Our twin room was ready just after 10.am so no problem booking in early. Room, bedding and bathrooms all very clean. Close to restaurants, supermarket and station. Thought it was a great place to stay in the old town.

Das Haus liegt mitten in der Altstadt, nah dran an den Feiernden der Bars rundum. Schön, wenn man selbst den Trubel genießt, ansonsten ist Geduld bis nach Mitternacht gefordert. Das Hostel ist gut geführt, die Chefin sehr freundlich. Die Bäder sind neu, alles ist sauber. Die Räume in dem alten Haus sind klein, aber hell und ausreichend. Die Wände sind nicht sehr dick, die Fenster aber super - Straßenlärm am frühen Morgen dringt kaum durch (dicke Trucks liefern dann gern neues Bier an etc.) Ich habe hier fünf gute Nächte verlebt und komme gerne wieder.

L'ostello è in una posizione spettacolare, proprio alla fine della via principale Stora Nygatan, baricentrico rispetto a tutta la città. La nostra era una camera privata con due letti singoli che però possono essere uniti all'occorrenza con un pò di praticità. Lo spazio in camera è molto poco, ci stanno i due letti, un mini comodino, due valigie e lo spazio per aprire la porta, ma non ci aspettavamo altro visto il prezzo basso. La camera era comunque molto pulita e i bagni comuni erano anch'essi puliti. Le tre doccie erano pulite e abbastanza comode, l'area lavandino prevede due lavandini grandi con 4 rubinetti in tutto. In generale se si vuole soggiornare in posizione centralissima a basso prezzo si deve rinunciare a un pò di comfort, quindi per noi la scelta è stata molto azzeccata e il nostro parere è molto positivo. Siccome la zona è centrale e piena di ristoranti e pub può capitare che la sera tardi si sentono un pò di schiamazzi e la mattina si sentono un pò di rumori di gente che parla mentre passeggia, ma nel nostro caso è stato tutto accettabile.

Natalia is the best! Accommodating, caring and very helpful. She made our staying enjoyable by helping to plan, understanding our needs and interests. Bravo to Natalia!

das Hostel ist perfekt in Gamla Stan gelegen, ist sehr ruhig und sauber und das Team ist sehr nett. Schade ist, dass es kein Kochfeld in der Küche gibt, nur eine Mikrowelle und einen Wasserkocher

Fräscht hotell med bra läge. Dock väldigt enkelt, så man får precis vad man betalar för.

Rummen var fina och välstädade. Tyvärr fick vi ett rum precis vid toalett/dusch vilket var lite störande.

The hostel was excellent. All the facilities were clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Von dem Hostel aus erreicht man fast jede insel innerhalb von 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Unser Zimmer war sehr schön, ruhig gelegen, hatte eine eigene Küche inklusive allem was benötigt wird. Nur die Dame an der Rezeption war auf Ärger aus.

Lovely hostel, more like a simple hotel really, in the heart of the old town. Everything is either within walking distance or can be easily reached by metro/ferry. The rooms are very clean, as is the shared bathroom which is cleaned daily. The receptionist from Romania who works most days is really nice and makes sure everything is perfect for 'her' guests (she serves coffee every morning from behind the desk, shares tips and tricks, checks whether you need anything, always up for a chat). The door system is very easy and provides safety. Nice and warm inside with comfortable beds, wonderful persian carpets in every room.

Det jag saknade var att det inte fanns handfat på toaletterna ifall man ville svabba av sig lite privat.

perfect stay. it was good and very pleasent and easy check in. the receptionist was not only beautiful but also kind person . I do recommend this place. perfect location to go around.

OK. Hyvä kokemus. Siisti hostelli edulliseen huntaan loistavalla paikalla. Voiko enempää toivoa?

Ideal location, for seeing Stockholm. Staff at Hotel friendly and helpful. Found the kitchen useful, to prepare breakfast and snacks. Not far to walk from Central station.

I have been in this hostel for four nights and it was nice and quiet. I recommend this hostel as it is situated in central Stockholm, close to tube station. The staff were very friendly and they gave me details about how to use the amenities and reach some places around the city . It’s also a good value for money .

Good budget place with great location.

I loved this hostel! Very clean rooms, comfy beds, clean bathrooms, cute kitchen, and close to the metro!

Staff was so informative since it’s my first time to be in europe. Room was fine, clean. The only thing was the shower was on the head part only so i had a hard time cleaning my bums. But overall, it is recommendable place to stay

The facilities are fine , especially what you pay for , they do not however explicitly speak on their policy on bed linen where its not included and you have to pay for linen and towels, which is a silly policy really. The staff are not good , especially the young lady who checked me in during the daytime , quite rude and moody. Personally i wouldn't recommend it but if you want cheap and convenient it just may suffice.

Mycket centralt och bra då det är närhet till allt.

The place charges you for sheets and pillowcases but will not tell you on the website, you need to purchase it there or you will be fined. Was promised a room that would only have 3 other hostile beds but my room had 6 individuals instead.

With it area but a bit noisey at night.

Not too social of a hostel but good for adjusting to jet lag, having a quiet atmosphere. Quiet, tidy, helpful staff. Kitchen area was on second floor and difficult to find but helpful once the staff helped me locate it. There are better, but I would still recommend this place.

The location is brilliant. The rooms are clean, as is the bathroom. The lady who works there is very friendly and helpful. No complaints at all!

The place couldn't be in a better location. Right in the middle of Gamla Stan. It's a bit outdated, but if you are not fussy, this is the perfect spot. The staff member we saw, was really nice. They are only there for a few hours during the day. it has a common kitchen with microwave (not stove) and a fridge were you can keep your food. Very quiet at night. Guests of all ages. Everyone seemed to be VERY respectful.

We arrived and we're greeted by friendly hostel staff, shown to our room - basic but really clean and tidy. Showers and bathrooms were again immaculate. Kitchen was a little limited but again very clean and tidy. Great place over all

Very easy to walk to from Central Station if tou take the bus from the airport. 24/7 door codes are quite convenient. Kitchen and bathrooms are exceptional. For the price, convenience to Soder and Normlmalm and atmosphere, it's about the best deal for a budget traveller.

When you book the cheapest hostel in Stockholm I don't think you expect to be waited on hand and foot... Everything was great value for money and the location especially is really great.

Good

Ok, it's a hostel but a good hostel...convenient, reasonable and really well run. There is no present staff, they come in part of the day, cleaning, answering questions etc. Otherwise, they are a buzz or call away. The place is not big, on the second floor in the center of Old Town. It is very quiet, mostly young people and we are not. The neighborhood is a little noisy but we keep the window open. We liked it and would stay again.

in the heart of pretty Gamla stan, its the PERFECT location for Stockholm. Walking distance to all the bars in trendy Soder, to the clubs in Oster and even a small very handy late opening (till 10pm) grocery store just around the corner. it IS a hostel and NOT 24 hours. There are rooms near the toilets (avoid rooms 110 onwards.)the beds are comfy and the rooms are tiny but given the prices of hotel in Stockholm ..this will do.

Nice warm hostel, with decent lodging and pricing with good location. Hostel staff is a bit unfriendly, and would not let me in the door at first despite having a reservation.

The front desk clerk will not help me contact the U.S. Embassy and the police after I was victimized by pickpockets shortly after I dropped off my luggage. Hotel clerk pretty much told me I was on my own since the hostel has full wifi connections. Did'n help me call the police or help me with direction to the nearest police station. Hotel clerk was openly hostile.

Wonderful location and staff. Entire building was clean and charming. Definitely the best bang for your buck in the Old Town area. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Seamless and flexible experience, I expected less! Will consider again if i need to stay central and cheap.

Amazing location - right in the heart of Gamla Stan (Old Town) and easy access to everything. The hostel is located in an old building and hasn't been renovated in quite a while. LOTS of stairs to get in and no lift, so suitcases are a struggle. Room was fine - we had 3 people and the private room had 3 single beds. The worst thing about this hostel is the staff and 'feeling' there - everything is incredibly rude/threatening... there is no "welcome!"... it's ALL worded "if you don't... we will charge you". Must bring your own sheet set (they require bed sheet, dun cover, and pillow case - no sleeping bags). You can rent the set for 65 sek (~8 US dollars) per day, but they say that if you don't use the proper set, they will charge you 1000 sek (~130 US dollars)... ridiculous! The posters all say that they will randomly check your room to ensure proper sheets 3 times during your stay... please! We checked in late (~10pm) and just spoke to someone over the phone, and then checked out early (~7am) and dropped the key in the key drop, never saw a staff in person. Again, it was a great location and a quiet, private room but definitely the most unwelcoming hostel i've stayed in. There are much better hostels for same price in Gamla Stan that I would recommend (Old Town Lodge was our favorite).

no staff at reception , no kitchen facilities, no PCs, nobody to ask for help or advise

Got the worst room at the hostel, our closest neighbor was the shared bathroom-toilet We were also forced to buy bed linen, NOT something Hotels.com wrote anything about, we didn't see it anyhow before arrival
