Liked it compared to the price

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.

PRISVÄRT BOENDE !!!

Pratar ingen svenska ? SvÄrt att höra i porttelefonen instruktionen pÄ engelska! Hade uppskattat om den ocksÄ togs pÄ svenska ! Dubbelrummet ljust och frÀscht med 2stora fönster med djup nisch som man kunde anvÀnda som extra hylla. Sköna frÀscha sÀngklÀderna Perfekt lÀge i gamla stan med alla utestÀllen direkt pÄ Nygatan ! Hade önskat bÀttre stÀdat och koll pÄ t.ex den flytande handtvÄlen pÄ toaletten. Pappershanddukar saknades ! Blev att man torka hÀnderna med det tunna toapappret !Pris

Trevliga men smÄ rum mitt i gamla stan. Tag med öronproppar dÄ det hörs tydligt upp frÄn Stora Nygatan. SmÄ toaletter och duschrum som kunde vara i bÀttre skick.

Sijainti 5/5

Siisti paikka. Lakanat, pyyhkeet, yms hyvÀssÀ kunnossa. Talo on aika vanha joten miten kiiltÀvÀn puhdasta en odottanutkaan. Sijainti ja hinta ovat erittÀin hyviÀ.

LÀget bra, rum ok men ogÀstvÀnligt.

Priset och lÀget gjorde det ok! Vi stannade bara en natt kom vid 20.00 och skulle vidare med tÄg tidigt morgonen efter. SvÄrt att höra i porttelefonen som kort person nÀr det var livligt pÄ gatan utanför. Ingen personal pÄ plats. Fick gÄ ut till porttelefonen för frÄga om utcheckning. Lyhörda rum. Skulle försöka hitta ett gÀstvÀnligare stÀlle nÀsta gÄng!

Ömsom vin, ömsom vatten

KÀndes inte speciellt gÀstvÀnligt. Porttelefon men ingen fanns i receptionen trots att personal dÄ borde finnas. Mycket rop och skrik pÄ Stora Nygatan sÄ inte lÀtt höra vad som sades i telefonen. Rummet mot Stora Nygatan var ok. Inte stort dock. Bra toalett- och duschutrymmen. Har bott pÄ bÀttre stÀllen i Stockholm till samma pris. Men lÀget Àr ju superbt!! BÀttre kan det inte bli, mitt i Gamla stan.
