    I’ve traveled all over the world - New York, Poland, India for example - and I’ve never been to a hostel this bad. The walls are paper thin, you hear EVERYTHING the other guests are doing - snoring, shouting, walking. Bathrooms smelt like urine. People were shouting random things in the middle of the night (3AM, 5AM) and a lot of the guests seemed to be either high and/or in desperate need of mental health services. The location’s good, but is it worth being close to the central station if you won’t be able to sleep at night due to all the noise?

    Bedbugs, beer cans, smelly mattress, burn marks and alcohol “forbidden”. I have lived in multiple budget hostels across Asia, Europe and South America, but never have I experienced a hostel this bad. Firstly, the room was extremely dirty. A cabinet was filled with beer cans and food that smelled horrible, even though alcohol supposedly is forbidden. The walls are paper thin so forget about sleeping, since people are constantly running up the stairs or making noise. My mattress smelled like pee, and had a bunch of stains. Luckily, the hostel provided sheets. I’m pretty sure the hostel had bedbugs, because I have a bunch of small red bite marks on my body. Secondly, the shared showers were disgusting. I was supposed to take a shower in the morning but chose not to. The toilets are also unclean and a bunch of sheets were laying on the floor outside. If you are able I would highly recommend spending the extra cash for better accommodation. This is NOT worth being cheap for. The only reason they receive one star is because the friendly receptionist and good location.

    A terrible experience in almost every way. Room full of bedbugs, dirt everywhere and mold in the shower. The staff were very rude and didn't take the bedbug sitiation seriously. We didn't get a refund for the room and they tried to make us pay for usimg the washer/dryer. (Which we were using because of the bedbugs) We had to stay the night in the hostels dirty lobby (other places were booked because of the harry styles concert) The only good rhing about the hostel is its location.

    Keep away from at all costs ! If you want fleas and bedbugs for freinds then this place is for you! I arrived, and an ambulance was taking a drugged up individual away on a stretcher. The toilet was covered in sick and excrement, and the corridors were full of homeless people during the day. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

    Don't recommend you have to share room with strangers and you have to pay for your own sheets

    We had a lot of challenges with this spot. It's arguably not worth it. The staff was chill n helpful. No negative energy. But the spot isn't well maintained. And you have to pay for sheets. Which should be included in the price instead of being a surprise. Saw a few dodgy people on drugs fighting imaginary bugs. !!! It's an option. But it's an option you might wanna consider not taking. !!!

    Wow, the reviews were not wrong. I wanted to leave my luggage for the day, since I didn’t stay in Stockholm (arrived at 7 am, departing at 5 pm) I had arranged in advance but there appeared to be no one who worked there so I went elsewhere after waiting about 30 minutes. The experience of staying there for 30 minutes: Good WiFi, strong (bad) smell, everything I saw seemed dirty. If I had booked a night, I would have gone elsewhere and lost the money for it. Would not recommend this for any traveler

    Hostel was very dirty, our room had bedbugs and they tried to put us in a completely different room that we had paid for. After we told them our room had bedbugs, they didn’t clean the room properly, they only took the sheets. Also bathrooms were really dirty, there were no toilet paper and the showers had mold.

    worst hostel experience ever for me, the rooms were dirty and stinky and there was no ventilation. It looked like some people lived there which is okay but they should still keep their things clean. Host hardly spoke any english and overcharged us. the beds were really hard and the shower i had was cold. will not return x

    Don't stay there. This "hostel" is in reality a shelter for homeless. Rooms in the basement, no windows, bed bugs and not super clean bathrooms. There was a fight near the reception, people screaming and saying they got robbed. One of the worst hostels I've ever been in my life and one of the worst experiences I had as a traveler.

    Worst experience someone can ever have. Words cannot describe entirely how bad it was. Just horrible. The front door is made out of glass which is completely broken. Huge risk of shattering over you when you touch it. The receptionist does not speak a single word in English. It is very hard to understand what he is trying to say. He is not welcoming at all. The whole place is unsafe. They do not provide even bed sheets and the beds are dirty. The room strongly smells like urine, it is disgusting. Everything is filthy. It is like in a horror movie. I swear I have never experienced something worse. I came to sleep during the night in the room and all the beds were unavailable, so I had to get out in the cold on the street and try to survive while being so exhausted. Please, if you care about yourself, never chose this place, even though it is cheap.

    The room is not a good value for the price, 2250KR for 3 night is expensive for what it is. Our reservation hasn't been taken in account. There is no wifi, no mobile networks, no 4G. Plus, the place is noisy (said no noises between 10 pm and 10 am, but it was always noisy during bed time). The beds were not comfortable, to get a linen, we had to pay more, no windows. The service was unpleasant / impolite.

    The other reviews are TRUE!!! READ THEM AND BEWARE! This hostel has BED BUGS. Smoking INSIDE the hostel. There was either a very angry or mentally unstable woman yelling every 15-20minutes at the top of her lungs. STAY AWAY. Hostel REFUSED to give me a refund, but booking.com customer service issued me a refund and I also issued a complaint fraudulent charge with my credit card company.

    If you want to live your hostal themed nightmare in Europe, this is the place. Filled with sketchy and mentally unwell people humming or praying in their beds through the night. The bathrooms are so disgusting that if you shower there you will never feel clean again. As a girl you get the extra experience of having the Old men from reception hitting on you. Terrible does not cover how bad it is. Please do not stay there.

    Actually the worst place I’ve even been in my whole entire life. Room I stayed in must of had a mob spawner in it because the other residents where making noises akin to Minecraft zombies. Almost like there own language. The room has little to know security, no windows and smelt like a mixture of dead people and crack. Bed bugs litter the beds and were stained with all sorts of fluids. This place felt completely unsafe and if your a women do not come here. Would never sleep here again if you paid me.

    BED BUGS! And incredibly dirty. The receptionist is rude and unfriendly, it’s absolutely filthy everywhere and you can literally see the bedbugs running over your mattress. I would not worship this hostel upon my worst enemy.

    The hostel was terrible. The room was ready to fall apart. Bad quality mattress and dirty ( probably never was changed or cleaned). Lack of pillow.60 sek for bedsheet which was dirty as well. The toilet was disgusting. Just to give you an idea. The sink had no pipe and all the water was falling on a bin which once full the water was flowing down. Trully recommend if your bugdet is low, still skip this place.

    Majorly unclean and unsafe. Bed bug infestation to the point of where you can see eggs and bugs crawling on the divider curtains. Blocked drains. Completely avoid.

    Whatever you do, don't stay there! The room was one of the most disgusting things I've seen so far! Bedbugs, dirty floor, more hair on the bed than I have on my head, indefinable spots on everything (we decided we simply don't want to know). We left the hostel immediately and decided to rather spend more money for another place to stay than having to sleep there.

    Stayed at the largest dorm in the hostel. The dorm smelled terribly, to the point that my girlfriend was unable to sleep in her bed as the person in the bunk below her had caused an almost permanent stink. One of the top bunk beds had a broken frame and they still allowed it to be used by a guest, instead of repairing it. One of the two toilets available for the 28 bedded room was clogged for almost an entire day, severely limiting possible bathroom use. There is a kitchen for use, but the plates and cutlery (which are washed by guests) were usually put back while still dirty. Also, please do not come to this hostel expecting anything close to a social atmosphere. The guests all keep to themselves and many times have an almost cautious approach to each other. It's a very cold atmosphere. Bedsheets and the locker room are only available if you pay which, while it is not an uncommon practice, always comes off to be as being sort of cheap. There are other hostels in Stockholm with a similar price range that are much more likely to satisfy your needs. One really good benefit, though, is that it is well located. Very close to the city center and the Old Town.

    Tl;Dr : bed bugs and borderline unsanitary bathrooms The place is very central and reasonably cheap. It was a great hostel in a pinch since a booking issue meant we couldn't stay in our previous one. And to be honest, I would have looked beyond the worn out ... Everything, the dingy atmosphere, and the noise. And I wasn't that bothered by the absence of windows, room in Stockholm is expensive, I get it. But the state of the sanitaries was borderline criminal and we found bedbugs crawling on the bedsheets and that is just unacceptable. I have no intention to bring bedbugs back home and I do *not* look forward to having to treat all my clothe.

    worst of the worst.. this place even with the lowest price in the area its not worth it.. the dorm room REEKS all time. and most who stays are local Hobos who are taking all your stuff in the fridge. NO Kitchen as well and the environment is just dead. NOT RECOMMENDING this place.

  • 1/5 Violaine T. 1 year ago on Google

    Do not stay here. The rooms are dark and smelly, the beds and bathroom were filthy. Felt unsafe travelling as a single lady.

  • 1/5 İrem �. 10 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Disgusting in every way. You can literally see the bedbugs running over your mattress. The whole place was dirty and smelled really bad. Receptionists dont speak english. But speaking absolutely perfect when they wants money for something. I only stayed for 1 day but it felt like 1 year. Just dont stayed there. stay in the airports or streets. WORST EXPERİENCE EVERRR!!!

    Stay away at all costs. Trust all the reviews. The place is gross, has a nasty smell to it, and a really cold atmosphere. The 1st night I stayed here, they randomly decided they are replacing 2 toilets at the same time, leaving only 1 toilet for the entire upstairs for the 3 days I was there. One look at the shower had me change my mind on taking one. Only plus side is the location and decent wifi. Would not return.
