“Close to Central station, Very convenience area, Clean and easy to use kitchen. I’m sure I will stay here again when I came to Stockholm again.”

“The female room was really big! I actually had a good sleep and found the beds pretty comfy. Unfortunate there are 2 bunkbeds that are built into the wall that are hard to get in and out of but you can choose your own bed so just be cautious....”
