Skanstulls Boutique Hostel

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

I got the solo room w/ shared bathroom. Pros - bathroom allocated for male & female - bathrooms are regularly cleaned - shared kitchen is huge & has 2 fridges, stove, microwave - there are free snacks & drinks at the kitchen - small library Cons - leaving your luggage after checkout is only allowed until 3 pm - walls are too thin, you can hear people snoring - people just leave their shoes outside the door, at the hallway
