Castanea Old Town 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.
