    Good hostel,kind stuff but we found 2 bed bugs in our room. Also the hostel didnt seem very hygienic. Shared bathrooms were often dirty and stinky. The kitchen was in reconstruction so we didnt have full access to the kitchen. And the stuff should wear some uniforms or tshirt with name "stuff" because we didnt know who it was. When i was laying in the top bed i felt like the bed was falling apart.

    Reception desk is only open 9-15 (9 AM to 3 PM), so if you show up late, pray they sent the self-check in information to the right person. The showers are in rooms with unprotected wood doors that get soaked, so... health hazard, the wifi is on and off, and there are no privacy curtains on the beds, and the beds are also very noisy, so pray your bedmate is a heavy sleeper who doesn't move in their sleep. It's a great two night place, due to the fantastic location, but any longer and you'll go insane. Also the lockers to store your personal items are small, so don't bring anything larger than a carry-on bag in here, unless it's a lockable suitcase you're comfortable with it being out in a room with strangers TL;DR No privacy curtains on noisy beds Poor wifi Showers that are likely a health hazard Small lockers for valuables storage Great location, 2/5 stars overall

    The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is within 20 minutes of most things in the center of town as well as the Central Station.

    tl;dr Not really thought out but a good value for a short stay in nice location. First the good stuff. The location is conveniently close to the central station, there are many food options on Vasagatan. The Wi-Fi causes no problems no at all. The property is rather clean including bathrooms/restrooms. The interior is neat and pleasant. The value is above expectations. Then the bad stuff. The property is kinda hard to find. There are several entrances to the building and the "Crafoord Place" sign just blends in with the environment. I found myself trying for the wrong door for quite some time. Also, the streets are laid out on a hill, so you might have to go uphill with your backpack quite a bit. The hostel is not properly thought out: many improvements could be made which do not require large investments. First off, a shoes off policy is a disaster. Stockholm is a clean city and there's absolutely no need to require people to take their shoes off. Make sure to bring your own cheapest slippers, otherwise you'll have to wear the used ones which are torn and dirty. Moreover, the smell you get from that shoe rack near the entrance is terrible. Let people wear their damn shoes inside, nothing bad is going to happen. The lockers in the room are narrow and tall, practically useless. The proper ones are in the corridor, so you have to walk back and forth to put your stuff. Make sure to bring your own padlock, otherwise you'll have to buy it. The reception people are gone after 17:00, you'll have to self check-in. If you need to rent a towel, tough luck. There are many other little things like no paper towels in the kitchen, strangely fixed sockets on the bed shelf making it hard to use them, or certain showers which provide absolutely no place to put your stuff if you don't want it to be wet.

    Regarding the extraordinary high price for a hostel, I expect that my sleeping place is ready when I arrive. No it's not! Even though you pay a high price for this accommodation you still have to do the work of the employees. You have to make your bed yourself and return your bed sheets etc. when you check out. Location is alright.

    We had great time in this hostel. The communication was really good and friendly. The ambiance was good at the hostel and we felt in security as 2 girls travelling. The rooms are okay, but the beds are quite cheap and noisy. There is no good WiFi in the rooms, you can only have it in the common areas. The kitchen was well furnished, so as the bathrooms. The location was also really good! 10-15 minutes by foot from the center. For the price we paid, we were really happy with it.

    Stayed here in June for the second time. For a hostel it is very chilled and quiet most of the time. Clean and homely. The location is ideal and the communication from the staff is excellent. I didn't see any of them due to my times of arrival and departure but they sent me messages with instructions, updates and left an envelope at reception for me. I hope to visit again next year and would always check the availability here before anywhere else.

    easy place to find, on the top floor with the view of the city and small but cozy place. I only didn't like the pink/purple light in the hallway. receptionist were friendly, all the necessary items present in the kitchen and bathroom were fine.

    I had a good time at the hostel, good value for money, the room was clean, bed comfortable, friendly staff, pretty close to the train station. But the shower wasn't great and the common area isn't really nice to hang out and meet people

    I am the owner of Crafoord Place and would like to inform what happened with Flame! She booked for someone else that did not have an id or passport. This is not allowed in any hostel or hotel! For everybodies safety!!! We did pay her back for our part and explained she has to turn to Booking for their part.

    The location is by far the best thing about this place. And the facilities are what you pay for, the bare minimum, but very functional. Due to the pandemic a lot of guests here are permanent residence who work in Stockholm, they're very nice, but it doesn't make for a great holiday experience. We didn't like going back to the hostel and would stay out for as long as possible. In the end we ended up booking a hotel and turning our back on this place.

    The location and facilities of this hostel were great. The receptionist was helpful and friendly. However, during the pandemic, certain protocols are essential for industries to follow, even if clients choose to stay with them. We got paired in a room with a guy who was heavily sick and was coughing the entire night and day. This made us uncomfortable, as we also noticed that they did not check anyone's COVID-passport or their tests. After calling them about this, hoping to get moved to another room, they told us that the guy coughs regularly and not to worry. This negligence shows that they still paired us with him even though they knew he was ill. They then told us that it was our choice that we booked a shared room, still not concerned about their client's well-being. We had to rebook another hotel late at night, and ended up getting sick as well. Testing in Sweden for COVID is quite expensive and travellers do not want to be stuck in a foreign country. This hostel needs to emplace further protocols to adapt to this instead of letting the guests use their own discretion and stay in shared rooms when they could be carriers.

    The best choice if you want to stay in the center of Stockholm in low budget.The only thing you could consider changing would be to have women only rooms as well.

    Das Hostel war sehr sauber und ist in einer guten Location. Die Besitzer sind sehr sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Gemeinschaftsräume sind gemütlich und alles in allem war es Preis-Leistungsmässig komplett perfekt. Ich würde immer wieder kommen. Liebe Grüße Lea

    Nice hostel with a good kitchen and kind staff. The showers were not very clean.

  • 1/5 Froggy 2 years ago on Google
    Rude staff in the reception, there’s not even a code to enter the hostel so feels unsafe. The common area looked like a hospital waiting room and the whole feeling of the hostel was very uninviting.

  • 4/5 Candelaria C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice hostel a little fare away from the city center. You can’t drink alcohol inside

  • 4/5 Nolwenn J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean, kitchen well equipped, quiet... really worth the price

  • 5/5 Carina M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice comfy cozy clean hostel with chill staff! No stove but small ovens and a rice cooker/crock pot so you can actually cook like everything from pasta to roast chicken to curries and more.

  • 3/5 Bebe R. 1 year ago on Google
    As someone said it before,the smell of the shoe rack is... If you ask for guests to drop off their shoes before the entrance at least supply some clean slippers or ask them to bring their own. Also is better to have your own towel(instead of paying).I do recommend microfibre travel towel to gain space. Also the atmosphere inside the hostel was pretty boring.Not the kind of hostel to have a chat with other guests. Room was pretty full of luggages.The lockers inside the room are quite narrow so you cant actually drop your backpack inside,only if its almost empty. The good thing is that accommodation is 15 minutes walking from Stockholm main bus and train station.(Stockholm centralstation). Also is on a quiet area .

    There was a mistake with the administration of the hotel and I couldn’t sleep in the same room with my husband. We couldn’t use any common area to rearrange our luggage. The kitchen had old stoves (electric ones, not induction) so it took a lot of time to cook and prepare any food. The showers and bathroom smelled very ugly. And the wasn’t proper lighting in the common areas. The administration only works in the morning so when you arrive late you have to discover everything for yourself or ask to the other guest and if you have a problem they don’t solve it until the next morning…

    Had room 6. Big windows, nice bunk beds, bed sheets in price. Very friendly people overall, you can feel welcoming atmosphere :) Showers and toilets are fine. Great specious kitchen with nice view on the city. Wi-fi works well. Would come here again!

    Decent place, but if you have time and a little flexibility in your budget, find a better one. Not great or good hostel, just OK. Service was meh and overall place was relatively clean. While there is a pretty view here, the location is just plain bad. No social life whatsoever within the hostel, so I do not recommend this place for solo travelers - especially if you’re a woman. Upon trying to leave the hostel, I asked for them to print out my boarding pass (which cost 10 sek) to which I was told they were out of ink. Loved Stockholm, but I’m more than happy to leave this hostel.

  • 1/5 Dorota K. 2 years ago on Google
    Dirty, smelly and incredibly small. They asked extra 50SK per person for bed clothes that they haven't even deliver - i have no pillow cover. Don't recommend.

    I stayed at this place for over a week, rooms were okay, bathrooms were okay but very tight space-wise. The lady staff members were friendly and nice as well as being helpful. They also disinfected the entire hostel every morning which put my mind at ease with Covid, however the place is a little too crowded at times so social-distancing was almost impossible.

    I spent two weeks here on and off, while finding a more permanent place, and I could not be happier. The facilities are clean, the rooms are comfortable and the atmosphere within the hostel was very positive al throughout my stay! Especially the staff (during operating hours but usually even earlier and later) were extremely friendly and welcoming! The location and views front be rooms are exceptional! I will definitely recommend it to anyone who may come visit Stockholm, and will definitely come back if I need a bed in Stockholm for a few days!
