Guest sentiment

  • Cleanliness8.3

    Multiple guests praise very clean bathrooms, kitchen and common areas (some even note shoe removal at entrance). One guest reported not having sheets placed on arrival (despite paying extra) and others noted lack of bed curtains, lowering the score slightly.

  • Service8.2

    Staff provided clear late check-in instructions and reacted quickly to requests; luggage drop-off on arrival was sometimes free but extended storage may be charged. Some guests reported limited travel advice and minor check-in miscommunications.

  • Location9.5

    Consistently highlighted as a major positive: very close (walking distance) to the central station, Arlanda Express, and within 20–25 minutes to Gamla Stan — convenient for travelers.

  • Room Quality7.8

    Mixed feedback: some found beds comfortable and rooms adequate for short stays; others were surprised/unhappy to find capsule-style beds with no extra storage or curtains, and small room sizes for some bookings.

  • Amenities9.0

    Strong amenities presence: sauna, well-equipped shared kitchen, multiple relaxation areas, adequate number of bathrooms/showers, plus an on-site bar/restaurant (Nomad) — all frequently mentioned positively.

  • Value for Money9.0

    Several guests describe the property as convenient and inexpensive while still comfortable and clean, indicating high perceived value for money.

  • Food and Beverage8.5

    An on-site bar/restaurant (Nomad) is present and noted by guests, but reviewers did not comment in detail on food quality; presence is a positive factor.

  • Overall Experience7.7

    Overall impressions are positive (clean, convenient, comfortable common spaces), but isolated negatives — unexpected capsule beds, missing bed linen on arrival, and small service annoyances (changing codes, luggage fees) temper the top score.

Close to the center, comfortable bed

One sink in the kitchen was not working, but it's a minor issue:)

I have stayed here before, I love this place. Nice neighborhood - about 10 mins walk from Central station. Lots of food and drink options nearby. Also the staff were able to accommodate me needing to do some last minute work.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Very easy access to transport and has a nice atmosphere created by other travelers. The rooms are nice and spacious and plenty of shared areas to hang out.

Additional cost of bedsheets and using the luggage room does add up, but everything else is great.

Very good location, close to airport connection and central bus / train station. Various shops (and theaters) around, quiet courtyard with its own bar (I don't know how they manage to combine those, but still...) The premises are very clean, the kitchen is very well equipped and clean, the personnel are simply wonderful! Will definitely be my first choice in Stockholm.

The "no-shoes-inside" might cause some colds in the winter. It would be nice to mention it in the profile, so that those who care come prepared. Or sell disposable slippers.
