Hotel M S Birger Jarl (Stockholm, Sweden)

Hostel guests reported welcoming and helpful staff on reception and some of them were excited by the novelty of being on the water, and also enjoyed great views out over the islands of Stockholm. It apparently offers decent prices for basic accommodation, especially if you only need the room to sleep in.

The breakfast buffet offering was said to have a wide selection of nicely presented fare, the food on the cruise lunches was also deemed good and the Skybar thoroughly entertaining.

Those who stayed thought the location on the shore of Södermalm Island was fantastic, meaning you can easily walk into the Stockholm Old Town. On top of this, you are right next to the Fotografiska museum and within an easy walk of great restaurants.

The rooms here can apparently get very hot due to a lack of ventilation, but on the flip side, this was appreciated by some guests in the winter. On top of this, the rooms were considered tiny, only offering enough space for sleeping.

Guests have reported sometimes experiencing noise through the seemingly thin walls, thanks to their neighbours, the bar and engines and also what little ventilation there is.On top of this, some made sure to mention there is no internet in the vast majority of rooms, which was instead only available in the common areas.

A small number of those who stayed said Ånedin Hostel's carpets could have been refreshed and seemed rather dirty. Furthermore, some people said the shared bathrooms could also have been cleaner.
