Review of Castanea Old Town Hostel

Reviewed February 11, 2013

A clear service, always friendly people at the front desk, very eager to help you. My stay there was very comfortable. After checking in, you get a short but thorough guide through the hostel. I would recommend this hostel to anyone. The location in a beautiful part of Gamla Stan, makes it even better. I found the other guests to have lots of respect to the rules of the hostel. Castanea, see you next time!

Simply the best!
Fantastic! I would go back in a heartbeat! Friendly helpful staff, warm beds, clean showers and a wealth of travel information about the city. Not to mention you can not beat the location. If you are searching for a hostel in Stockholm, look no further!

Would stay there again
Clean, friendly staff, great location,choice of rooms and unlike your typical hostel no weird food smells or could it be that my usual bad luck there failed me this time?
Nice breakfast in a cafe downstairs. Discount for hostel guests.
Located in theheart of the old town close to all the interesting spots.Would stay there again.

We would definitely come back again!!
I loved my trip to Stockholm and this hostel had really helped in making it a great & comfortable experience. The staff are very friendly, there is plenty of space in the common rooms, everything is quite new and very Ikea! The showers seem new and even had heated floor boards! We travelled in December and I was worried of being cold in the hostel(as some places have really terrible heating) and this place was toasty warm. The big benefit of this hostel also is the good sized kitchen. As eating in restaurants is pretty expensive in Stockholm, it helped a lot to have access to a nice clean kitchen. Also the location is right in Gamla Stan which is such a nice part of Stockholm! I would definitely recommend this hostel. The only down side is the size of the rooms - we have a twin bed room, and it was relatively small. We were happy with it and since there are big common rooms it was no issue, but it might be worth noting.

Excellent hostel
We only stayed here one night, but will certainly be back. The location, price and staff are brilliant. The twin rooms are small, but cosy and quiet with everything you need, and there are nice public areas to spend time in. The staff were very helpful in checking us in early, booking a taxi and advising on the weather, and it was a warm welcome.
I almost don't want to share this review as I would rather keep this excellent budget Stockholm option a secret!
