Reviews of STF Långholmen Hostel 2 stars

Interesting venue jail house cells

Small cells low ventilation

Building with a lot of history, very good renovation of a jail, rooms are cells so bit small but that is part of the experience, breakfast is really good worth for the extra cost but also there is a shared kitchen with fridge. Location is 10 min walking from the metro to the center. Free parking.

It is really fun to live in a museum! And the surroundings at Långholmen island was worth the visit itself.

It was a bit to walk to the nearest public transport, but really not that long if the weather was fine.

Very helpful staff :)

A little tight on space.

The decor and the setting of the former prison are excellent, great value for money. Well equipped kitchen for guests. P.S. If anyone needed that information, the bathrooms have hair dryers, which is not mentioned in the facilities part of the hotel description. It's

Its location. It’s a little peaceful enclave in the heart of a city. I loved walking out and having a swimming spot on my doorstep. A nice restaurant on site. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was very comfortable.

The room became bright very early. I was grateful for my eyemask.

I loved everything about it. The staff, the room, the breakfast (was amazing!), the location…all of it.

Nothing. If I could change one thing, it would be to have a made bed, instead of just having the sheets on the bed for me to make. They take the prison theme very seriously. 🙂

It was amazing to sleep in an old prison. There is an incredible attention to details that make your staying a unique experience. The breakfast was delicious and served in a nice place, with also a terrace to enjoy sunny mornings.

The location is nice. The breakfast is excellent.

Be aware that when booking this accommodation it may be a hotel room or a hostel room. Pay attention otherwise you may be penalised financially for not having a towel as not necessarily provided. Also the blind can't be closed while the window is open. So on hot summer nights you can either have a dark hot room or a cooler room with the sun shining in - no fan or AC is available.

Langholmen is a tranquil Oasis. It's perfect setting for a getaway. Public transportation and all the amenities that a big city has to offer are a 5 to 8-minute walk away. We will be back

I didn't realize that the facility had a hostel and hotel. The three-person accommodation was a little claustrophobic. The staff were extremely accommodating and we moved to a bunk room that accommodated two people which was perfect for us.

Långholmen Hostel offers a unique experience combined with comfort, friendly atmosphere and a historical setting. My friends and I stayed for four nights, and we were absolutely delighted with our choice for our first trip to Sweden. The entire building is beautifully refurnished while also keeping the original style and historical elements accurate. The rooms are cozy (the 4-beds apartment that we stayed at was quite spacious) and well-equipped. Shared bathrooms and showers were always clean and restocked everyday. We also used the common kitchen to cook bigger dinners and it was also a great experience! We also made use of the common kitchen for bigger dinners, and it was a great experience! The kitchen had everything we needed - plenty of utensils, a large fridge with individual compartments, coffee makers, and even board games for a relaxing night in. One of the highlights of the hostel is the beautiful outdoor area along the shore, with seating and a stunning viewpoint over Stockholm - perfect for a morning coffee or an evening chat. The location is also excellent. It’s well-connected by public transport with about a 10–15 minute walk to Hornstull metro stations well as buses just outside the island. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. They gave us great tips for midsummer activities and really made us feel at home. We also chose to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant twice, and it was fantastic - fresh, with a variety of choices and many alternatives for individual dietary preferences. Overall, I highly recommend Långholmen Hostel for your stay in Stockholm. It’s a special place with character, great facilities, and wonderful people. I’ll definitely be back as soon as possible. 😊
