Very nice hostel, possibility to leave the luggage in a room to be able to easily enjoy Stockholm
The red boat is really to refresh ..... !! Arriving flood with impregnated hallway carpets and soaking cabin carpet too. Smell of sewage infects during our 3 days. It can happen, but we could have had a commercial gesture. Very nice living room well decorated with charm but very disappointed with the cabin. We did not see on the site that the fenestrons of 20 cm on 80 cm were in height thus no view. Naughty cabin finishes with silicone between boards and tinkering under the window. Very confined atmosphere because not much air by the fenestron ..... Fortunately the bedding is very clean and the toilets too but evacuation problems in the showers or wades. Staff very friendly and atmosphere, we can not say because with the smells, we did not stay much on the boat. The location is top! because near the neighborhood that moves in the evening and near the center to visit.
I do not recommend this hostel because I got bitten by bedbugs (and I'm not the only one) The staff didn't even apologize and didn't offer any discount. They were not really friendly. Besides, the rooms are very very small and there are not enough showers for all. So except for the location, this hostel is quite expensive and not so much worth it.
Near the tourist center, totally accessible on foot, the situation of this accommodation is perfect for a tourist. In addition, there is a great calm. And the panorama of the bridge is most pleasant. The subway is nearby for those who want to get away from the historic center. The staff are very pleasant and go out of their way to please the traveler. I highly recommend.
