Nice but nothing special
The position is very central. The hostel is located in a building with elevator. The staff very kind. There are nice shared area where it is possible to meet some people.
The room was very small and with no window and also the private bathroom was very small. (but considering the price it can be more than accettable. Good for fast stops.
Poor
Cheap price.
This place has gotten a lot worse since I last stayed here in 2018.first of all the female receptionist has a horrible attitude. When I checked in their was a misunderstanding about payment nothing major and it was solved quickly but she was was extremely confrontational and aggressive .It was unpleasant to deal with someone who has such a bad attitude. the staff who worked here here a few years ago were much more professional This place is just not secure People sleeping in the hallways and lots of strange goings on . I would really not recommend it you are a solo female traveller
Cheap accommodation in good location,...
Location.
Staff ignored requests. Undesirable people 'hanging around' Loud at night. Police showed up on more than one occasion
Poor
Homeless shelter. Scary.
Amazing value for money
Really good value for money (we got the private 2 bed room). Clean. The bathroom floor was heated. The location is great, 10 minutes walking distance from the central train station. You can open the windows.
There was a client that kept lurking around our room, so we didn't feel safe leaving our belongings inside. One of the lamps was flickering and we had to plug it out.

The room is nice. It is very expensive, but all of Stockholm is expensive. It has a good location. When the receptionist was there, he was very helpful and nice.
The receptionist was not there a lot of the time. Please provide milk with the coffee
Recommend for short stay and...
Location was ideal and easily accessible by walk/metro/bus from central station. Dining area is good and big enough, you can also work they have charging facility beside each table. There was a kitchen facility, but with only one microwave and fridge. Coffee is available all time for free.
if you are budget/student traveller and you book room on sharing basis. It was quite small room with 14 bunker beds, you can have your locker but with extra payment and beds/mattress were not really clean. Moreover, I doubt if all the guests were visitor/tourist. Some of them staying for quite longer period, maybe they were homeless or drunk people (I really do not know exactly, but they looked like this).
Amazing location and staff!
The staff is AMAZING! So lovely and helpful and always at your service. I've stayed here a few times now and know that I will come back every time I'm in stockholm. The location is amazing.
The only thing I didn't like was the pillows.. haha. And It was very confusing to do the check-out as there was no staff available until lunch time.
Good
All its good, most inportant the place. Its amayzing my frends not beleving what for this price you can sleep in stockholm centrum
No drying place for clothes. And į thinking need one more microway. Need wait in the qu so long.
The world worst hostel, but...
Rien
Pathetic lazy incompetent staff... Receptionist are there when they have to use the internet connection for themselves, otherwise they are too much busy to help customers... Rooms are not really cleaned, and trash lays on the floors... It was like the "auberge espagnole" you got to bring everything you need yourself with yourself... Toilets are not clean with "foreigners guests" among the filthiest... No Breakfast! Just hot water. No kitchen really without anything except a microwave and a few plates (and I can understand, you don't want to offer a real kitchen with this sort of clientele)... Lack of dishes People smoking in front of the entrance... One only small public room for many residents ... Small bedrooms packed with bunk beds, odours and luggages... With people entering at any time, not following the basics rules of sharing the same space.. One toilet and one shower for the whole floor... Flowing air-conditioned that allow you to know if someone in the building, smoke, cook popcorn or open the windows, with minus 10 degrees Celsius outside... But don't open the windows, because they don't close... Just want to leave this place as fast as possible... My recommendation is to book elsewhere
Poor
Freezing in the room. They said they couldn't do anything about it.
Even if the price was...
We could switch the rooms as the heater in the initial room did not work and and bed linen was stinking like somebody was smoking 10 minutes ago... The second room was equally cold as the first one... anyway the price was cheap.
The heater did not work so it became freezing. The bed linen and the bathroom was stinking after cigarettes. Besides, I had hairs in my fresh towel.
Passable
For approximately 10€ per night facilities are good, location is good.
Communal areas and communal toilets not very clean. Beds not comfortable and room floor and skirting boards also area around door handles very dirty. No hand sanitizer available. Lack of cutlery in kitchen, no sugar or milk for tea and coffee which is provided.
Bad
Terrible laundry worker. He seemed to have specially crumpled up all the things. After that, the clothes made of delicate fabrics did not recover and they forever turned into rags. And he lost one sock.
I recommend it
Location. Clean bedrooms. You can pay by credit card And also Cash, which is Great.

Single room
It is close to city center I had my own room and own toilet and bath
Quite small bed and to hard pillow
Good
Clean, nice location. Easy check in-out.
I asked for late check-in, but they answered only after my stay. Couldn't reach them on the phone either.
For that price it was...
Excellent location, very nice staff, I felt safe during my stay, very good price
There were few drops of blood on the floor and on the furniture. So I think that my room wasn’t cleaned properly.
Good
Perfect location, good staff.
I think blankets and sheets are used for a long time.
Very good
We booked a twin room, the hostel is in very central area close to many shops, the old town and the main train station. The room was clean and comfortable with its own bathroom as requested. We could use the kitchen where you could find free coffee and tea machine.
The internet was weak at the 3rd floor where our room was. The kitchen didn't provide oven for cooking, only a microwave. Our bedsheets were not changed nor new toilet paper provided. We stayed there for 5 nights. Price could be better. But overall was ok.
Disappointing
Bathroom
Door lock with card doesn't work always. Bed linens. Mattress

Great location
Room Cleaning. They didn’t do it when we stay 5nights.
Good place
There’s only microwaves to use, and not an oven. Besides that, everything was perfect
Superb
Room was good
Toilet was very small even for an average person
Comfy stay in Stockholm
The dining room is good enough for working. The room has enough compartments for organising your stuff on long stays. They clean the room and private bathroom daily, they provide liquid soap/shampoo. Internet speed is good.
There was only 1 fork in the kitchen for all the guests (all other cutlery is ok). There are very thoughtless guests that leave the dining room and the kitchen very dirty during the night and nobody tell them anything
Exceptional
Everything was great, good location, clean room and kind stuff:)
Poor
If you risk renting the most expensive room for more than 2 days, get ready for this. The receptionist will not send cleaners even if you ask many times. When the cleaner comes, she will only clean the room and leave the bathroom dirty. Next time, she would only clean the bathroom and leave the room dirty. At the same time, the toilet bowl and sink she dosnt wash at all. Instead of clean linen, they bring shabby, torn and not washed after strangers.
Pleasant
Walking distance to city and metro nearby. Price is very affordable
Hygiene is poor, not that clean bathroom. Even during covid I have to prepare extra for sef hygiene. Some room didn’t have a wifi access and have to go to the kitchen or outside room

Birka hostel
The check in/out was very convenient! Kitchen with amenities available.
It was a bit small
never again
i was at this hostel before in an only girls room with our own bathroom and it was nice so i came back ... and it was terrible
this time i stayed in a shared room and the bathroom was outside, the bathroom was dirty, the bed broken and uncomfortable, the window broken, the air quality terrible, in the kitchen somebody stole my food although i followed the kitchen rules, the people in the kitchen looked like homeless people... i did not slept the whole night since i felt so unsecure and left for the airport 3 hours than when i planned to leave
Very good
Very friendly staff that is willing to help you with your problems. Clean rooms and dining area. Close to city center as well as a metro station that is one stop away from the central station.
The kitchen area could be improved on as there is no stove or any way to cook anything. Only basic equipment such as mugs, glasses, plates, bowls, utensils, 2 microwaves and a refrigerator are available to guests.
it was horrible
my room was occupied by an other guest. I had to sleep in the hallway.
Superb
Great location! Small but cosy single room with private bathroom.
Shootout in Birka Hostel
Guests of the hostel got into a fight in the kitchen, resulting in a shootout and a person was taken to the hospital. The entire kitchen was covered in blood. Police cordoned off the entire floor for the day. This was written in the newspaper. The hotel's fire alarm was activated periodically for no reason, and most likely it doesn't work correctly.
Good
Location is really good. The room was clean. We only stayed for one night but wouldn't mind staying longer it was comfortable overall.

The bed in a dorm had hairs on and looked dirty in general (without the bedding). The kitchen was filthy in the morning full of dirty dishes. No cups or spoons to use.
Ok
Close to the center, clean. Wifi
Aircon cannot be stopped.
Great! Will come again
Nice people Staff was very nice and accommodating. Meet cool people!
Great, Cheap, Central location
The property was centrally located, just around the corner from the metro and had extremely comfortable beds.
We couldn’t find the hot plate in the kitchen :(
I loved Stockholm
Quiet central location Clean common shower near my room
- the key instruction did not work from the first time, I could not receive key from the box. Luckily the personal was there and helped me out. - I stayed 4 nights in the same room by 2 reservations and the changing of the towel and cleaning happened only 1 time - above the bed there was a ventilation which made a wind and noise to me. The personnel meant it was obligatory by law and cannot be turned off. It felt like air conditioning.
Worst staff ever
Good location
Staff totally unprofessional and rude, a serious training is required. I’ve never seen this kind of customer service anywhere else.
Not recommend
Price (i could fin something at the same price in Copenhagen and much better, better location too), location it was fine.
Buliding old and not keep it in conditions, people homeless sleeping there, everything dirty, beds completely disgusting, take a shower is an non happy adventure, kitchen and dining room so tinny for all the hostel, everything dirty there and the lights were all day and night going down and up.
Affordable room in the center...
> Late check-in was very convenient with instructions and door code sent by SMS and a safe box to get the key. > Very nice location > Affordable price
The room was nice though very basic. It was rather clean overall, but there was dirty toilet paper on the bathroom floor when me and my friend arrived...
Good localisation but rooms can...
The location was good, 10 min walk to T-Centralstation and even less to Hötorget.
The ventilation of the room was really too noisy.
Very good
The 8 bed dormitory are very spacious, and most of them have private bathrooms, whiwh is very nice. The wifi is fast and you can have it everywhere. The location is perfect !
There is nothing to cook expect micro-wave. It is not the best place to have lunch/ dinner the the hostel.
Superb
The room was clean
Good.
The lamps/bulbs on thexsiee of the best, did not work this time (either).. The window in the bathroom was impossible to shut. The code in to the main entrance did not work the 20 first times.
Pleased overall! Would return.
Fantastic location, close to everything in the city center and steps away from the nearest subway stop. Easy check-in and check-out and clean facility. Very happy to use the ready-made coffee machine! My room was just as expected. Overall, a great choice for those traveling on an economy budget.
The kitchen area is a little tight and there was very little space for items in the refrigerator. Did not like that the noise from common areas carries far, so sound from other guests is heard inside rooms. There was a major disturbance under my stay so I would have wished for clearer communication from personnel (although all adequate safety precautions were taken).
Very good
Good location, friendly staff, hot water and coffee available at all times. Good choice for the money.

We thought we could cook something in the kitchen but all there was was a couple of microwave ovens. So unfortunately we could not cook anything.
Good
Good for this price. The localization is good.
There was only 1 shower in each floors.
Great place for one night...
Good place near the central station, very good and convenient for few hours sleep while waiting a flight and/or ferry. Price for single room was very cheap now during corona time. Staff is nice aswell and willing to help you if you have any inquiries. Would stay again just for sleep.
Its ok for one night
The location was excellent, just a few blocks away from the metro station and really close to the bus terminal. The rooms are really small if you have big lugagge it won’t fit. Its only ok for one or max. Two nights.
I arrived at 9:30 (the reception opens at 10am) and ring the doorbell and no one answered for a while despite staff being there... finally a guy that was staying at the hostel open the door for me.
Not a hostel for travelers
Personnel was kind, common showers and toilet were very clean, central location.
This isn't a hostel for travelers, but a permanent residence for inhabitants : students, families or grandpas with trolleys. Anyone who cannot find a place basically. No respect for others : loud conversations in dormitories in the middle of the night, leaving a mess in the kitchen, drunk people... Reception is opened for very short times (10-17), not really adapted for tourists who spend their days visiting town. But I assume it's enough for permanent residents. Sticky floor smelling beer in the kitchen for two evenings in a row, and lots of dust in the room.
Disappointing
We slept in the room with homeless guy.
Good
Nothing specific. It's a hostel. But it's clean, and good location. And extremely cheap.

Very good price-quality
- good price/quality for Sweden accomodations - place, near old town and central station - curtains in windows
- the doors automatic- close mechanism is very noisy. They should be adjusted to not slam the doors - Thin walls - Small kitchen
Very good
The location was really great, the hostel is situated almost in the city centre. The room was quite small but clean and comfortable.
Cheap and cheerful, nice staff,...
Quite a modern interior for the most part and everywhere was clean, bed was pretty comfortable also and the receptionist was super friendly and helpful, also specifically chose this hostel because they don't charge for linen or have sneaky extra charges like luggage storage.
-Not many toilets or if there were more then I didn't see them -Cramped bedrooms with small lockers, but I didn't feel like my stuff was unsafe outside of the lockers, there was a friendly vibe amongst people. -No privacy curtains, would pay extra for those.
Bad
Dirty kitchen, no possible to cook, thin mattress, at night warm, smoke through window and people talking loudly outside.
Very good
- Good price/quality for Sweden standards

The accommodation was very good and clean. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of windows in my tiny room. A little bit uncomfortable especially in a hot weather.(Had a single room)

The location and price are great
Staying with 7 other people was not easy. Especially during the Corona scare.

Excellent location. The rooms are a bit too small but for the price, it's not a huge issue. The beds were surprisingly comfy. Very close to Centralstation and the Hötorget SL(Metro) station. It has a large elevator so it's great for those who travel with slightly heavier luggage.
The internet is kinda slow in the rooms. Also the keypad at the door routinely fails to work even if the correct code is punched in.

maybe bathroom is a little bit small
The stuff was lovely. The girl in the reception that morning was really helpful, nice, kind, polite. Thanx so much.
Maybe due to coronavirus, the environment change a little bit than the typical travellers hostel environment. Or its just people living there permanently, so ive noticed two kinds of environment, With other kind of people. But everyone was nice, the place was clean, and
People are stealing others food from fridge. Laundry is expensive and taking more than 24 hours. Stuff is very friendly and good location.
People are just living there for a years.
Storage room is expensive and is only open until 6 p.m.
With a stay at Birka Hostel, you'll be centrally located in Stockholm, just a 3-minute walk from Stockholm Concert Hall and 13 minutes by foot from Royal Swedish Opera. Featured amenities include express check-out, luggage storage, and an elevator.
