Skanstulls Boutique Hostel

I stayed in this hostel because a friend (male friend) had recommended it to me. He said it was a nice hostel, where he met nice people, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Well, I would recomend it to another friend, but I would say different things. It is an average building for a hostel, I didn't met many interesting people (if compared to others hostels stays in my life) and I wouldn't say the staff is helpful because I barely saw anyone who worked there, and I didn't need help during my stay. I would recommend Skanstulls hostel for the quality of the beds and the girls bathroom. The rooms and the kitchen are small, but the girls bathroom is big enough to be used by 4 or 5 girls at the same time (this was the maximum I saw), and we have enough space to put our things and hang our towels. There are 2 hairdryers too, and they are good. I am used to stay in hostels, and I miss hairdryer frequently... Some friends told me to buy a small travel hairdryer, but I am so lazy to carry one with me.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Skanstulls Hostel for 2 nights at the end of March in a 12 person shared room for our first ever visit to Sweden. As we are both students, we were looking for somewhere cheap to stay and came across this hostel whilst searching online. The pictures looked lovely, and I can confirm that the hostel itself does live up to the pictures it posts. The layout is almost maze-like, predominantly below ground level, giving it a very personal feel, once you know your way around that is! We arrived at 3 am, having warned them of this and they stated that the beds would be premade. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case and we may have woken up others in our shared room as we were moving around to get the beds sorted. Apart from this the late arrive process is very smooth and hassle-free, although they did not include a second key and a member of staff was rather rude about this the next morning. But apart from this, our stay was great. Location-wise, it is about a 15-20 minute walk to the centre of the city, keeping it cheaper but also easily accessible. If we were to come back to Stockholm, I would not hesitate in staying at Skanstulls again

My husband and I stayed in a private room, which was clean and fairly roomy. We enjoyed the breakfast which was perfect to get us through until lunchtime. There is a well equipped kitchen and common area, for drinks in the evening. Will stay again when we come to Stockholm.

Booked a private room for myself. Skanstulls hostel is a straight way down the road from Skanstulls station. Hostel is like half a level underground so there's just a few steps down from the entrance. The room is darker than photos but still at a pleasant temperature. Spacious bathroom with good running hot water adjustable to your liking. Very pleasant staff, and if you can't check in early, they have a locked area for luggage storage right in front of the counter. Common areas are very charmingly decorated! There are eateries along the way from train station to hostel that you can buy food or coffee from. A very good experience for my first hostel stay, glad to have chosen Skanstulls!
