Stockholm Hostel

Check-in was flawless, we had a late arrival but that didn't matter due to the convenient door-code and key-lockers. Those last ones were perfect during our stay as well: never have to take the key with you! The room itself was very clean en the bed very comfortable. We were even lucky to have one of the rooms with kind of a window (as the mentioned: most rooms don't have this!). Locations is good, the tube/metro is one block away and if you feel like walking: the old centre is just a 30 min walk. Nice breakfast place right across the street.

One thing was a bit odd.. The reception is only occupied between 15:00 and 20:00, exactly the times that you're usually out and exploring the city. So we've never seen anyone. As everything was taken care of very well, this was not a real issue. However, it is still a hostel, incl. loud teenagers, the rules are very strict and the fines are very high for breaking them, but if nobody is there to check? So on Saturday night we had to ask people to be quiet when they were screaming in the hallways late at night. So they continued in their room, due the fact that there are no windows, the air-system really carries the sound and you can hear word by word what is discussed in the room connected to the same system. I feel like this wouldn't happen if someone would just be present at the hostel 24/7.
