Castanea Old Town Hostel, hotel in Stockholm

Located in the center of Stockholm’s Old Town, this hostel is 3 minutes’ walk from the Gamla Stan Metro Station. It features a communal, fully equipped kitchen, along with bright, fresh rooms.

Superb location in the heart of Gamla Stan - 3 minute walk to the main plaza Stortorget. You can have the whole plaza (and Gamla Stan!) to yourself in the early morning or late night; 8 min walk to Gamla Stan Subway Station. The hostel has two common spaces with lots of tables and seating. Nice kitchen with stove, frig. Friendly, helpful staff as well. Bathrooms are soooo clean!! My roomies were great, too; fun and considerate. Definitely one of my favorite places I stayed at during my one month traveling in Scandinavia. (p.s. The other one is Giljanes Hostel in the Faroe Islands!).

    The room was beautifully designed and very comfy. I had a little reading nook by my window and considering I booked one of the cheaper options available it did not feel like a budget room at all. It really felt like a lot of care was put into everything. Activities were always available, almost like a hostel atmosphere but with ten times the luxury. Honestly, it felt like the hotel itself could be a tourist attraction! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location is a two minute walk away from T-centralen so super handy!

    great value for money, the location is superb - one bridge away from the old town, on beautiful Sodermälm island. for a price of two bunk beds in big hostel room you get a cosy private cabin for two right in the heart of the city 😍 also there is a kitchen, which is a salvation for budget tourist

    I hesitated writing a good review, because it feels like I discovered a well-kept secret. Totally worth the cheap price, set in a wonderful location, close to the center, in peaceful surroundings, and a standard that is worthy of upmarket hotels, yet with the affordable price of a youth hostel. Friendly staff too. We'll definitely be back.

    Great hostel, with a really convenient location, 5 min walk from the Central station and Arlanda express and not far from the touristic spots. . The 4 people room is basic but clean, with two bunk beds and 4 lockers. The hostel is mostly quiet and in a safe zone (had no issue walking alone at night as a girl). I loved also the sauna that is perfect after a full day walking in the cold weather! The staff are always available 9am-8pm or via Whatsapp.

    Great location, ambience, beds had mini shelves and curtains for privacy. WC and showers were clean, hairdryer provided, Wi-Fi included and good speed, kitchen facilities were good, luggage storage was very convenient. Hostel is on third floor with each room having key code. There was elevator so going up or down wasn't a problem. Rooms felt safe and secure.
