At the time I reserved a private room from Skanstulls, the only room available was a 3 person room for my husband and myself. For the price of around US$80/night, I thought the triple was perfectly sized for the two of us as the third bed gave us room to store our luggage, ready our clothes for the next day, and gave us that extra needed breathing room. When I reserved my room, the website said that bed sheets and towels were an extra charge, but when I received the confirmation a few days before my trip, the email indicated that bed sheets and towels were already in my room which meant less for me to carry in my suitcase. Although Skanstulls does not serve breakfast, they do offer a nice selection of loose leaf tea and tea bags to make-your-own tea bag, several refrigerators to store your food, a microwave, a kitchen work center with three stoves, two sinks, drain rack, and storage area for pots and pans, and plenty of dishes. Without a doubt, the kitchen is busy during meal times, but we found that if we had our breakfast before 8am, there was less competition. Were there people who did not clean up after themselves? Of course. But if there were dirty dishes that were in my way or the counter needed cleaning, it was easy to do. If you need to do laundry, there was a washer and dryer, but you must make a reservation for around US$10. As for WCs and showers, there were plenty. As for the women's showers, there was a dip in the floor that caused me to loose my balance because I would forget that it was there and the showers operated by motion sensor which was terribly annoying. I never did figure out how to keep the shower from stopping every couple seconds. Conveniently located near the Skanstulls metro and bus stops (across the street), ICA and Coop grocery stores, restaurants and walking distance to Fotografiska, I wouldn't hesitate to reserve a place here again.
