Castanea Old Town Hostel

Perfectly located for Gamla Stan and access to other parts of the city. So easy to walk! If using Uber, there are a couple of drop off points in Gamla Stan, so you have to walk to or from one of those. One dropoff is by the castle and very close to Castanea.||We were on the bottom floor. The outside door has a code, and then there is another locked door with a code to enter where the rooms are. Our room was very comfortable, and we enjoyed being able to have the window open. Quiet prevailed the entire time we were there. The room, the bathroom, and the shower room were all very clean.||The hostel staff helped us get the room we needed by contacting them directly, and because we had troubles, the towel fee was dropped! They were also willing to help with an encounter we had. I appreciated how kind and helpful they were.||The restaurant next door no longer gives hostel guests a discount for breakfast, and they have a very limited menu for breakfast. Panem is just a few blocks away and has many options though.||I highly recommend this hostel and its staff.

Perfect location in the middle of Galma Stan and public transportation. Professional friendly staff and everything was prepared for my late arrival; location directions, access codes, amenities, and everything was spotless. Recommended!

Location! Location! Location! No other can beat this. It’s an old building (in old town ) but everything is neat and clean. Really enjoyed the staying, plus reception staff was helpful and nice.

Very old style beautiful building in old town, helpfull staff, a good information board, alot of showers and toilet. Kitchen is well kept with clear rules. Mattresses could be softer tho. Overall a very pleasant stay, thank you!

A really cute and well equipped hostel in the heart of Gamla Stan. The room was extremely clean, as were the hostel’s public spaces. They staff were very friendly, kind, and helpful as well. Would definitely book again!

Lovely hostel. Felt really homely and welcoming. Fantastic location with so much to do nearby. Staff really friendly and helpful with tips. Thank you!

The hostel is located in the middle of the old part of the city, which has many nice buildings and streets. It's within walking distance of the central station and shopping centre (+-20 minutes). The personnel is very kind and considerate. The rooms, toilets, showers and kitchen are clean. Overall, it's a well organized hostel.

The hostel is located in the middle of Stockholm, giving you good access to the old town, Södermalm, Östermalm and basically all the rest of the tourist attractions. We were nicely greeted at the check in and provided with all the info you need. We stayed in a shared 4 bedroom, it’s rather small and the mattresses are thin. I was having back pain and I’m a small person. With the other rooms you get thicker mattresses though. Everything, bedding, shower and kitchen seemed very clean, which was nice. Also the kitchen is a really nice addition to have. There’s also free leftovers that you can use, which is very nice. One more downside is that on the toilets there’s no paper towels to dry your hands after washing, only the thing recycling toilet paper. I feel like that’s something that should be improved as soon as possible! Overall we enjoyed our stay very much! And despite the downsides the hostels is overexceeding my expectations of a hostel, that’s why I’m giving 5 stars.
