Location was far from town, but it was quiet. The long walks were worth the novelty of staying in a converted prison. It was unlike any other hotel/hostel experience we've ever had, and I'd readily recommend it to anyone.

We visited in March, when there was still snow/ice on the ground and outside temperatures were at least -5ºC during the day. Heating in the hostel is fine though, and double doors at the entrance mean even the lobby was warm! The self-catering kitchen is well laid out and equipped (cookers, sinks, pans, cutlery, crockery, lockable fridges, shelving, microwaves, tables & chairs, tv, etc), although the induction hobs (cookers) are confusing and could do with instructions. Our bedroom was in the wing that houses the museum (have you ever done a museum in your pyjamas?!), and it was a little disconcerting to hear tour groups being guided round the corridor outside your room, while resting in your room late afternoon. Everyone we met in Sweden was very helpful and spoke excellent English. T-bana and museums all had signage in English as well as Swedish.

Sharing the building with the hotel gave the option of taking the hotel's meals as well as self cooking. A very useful option when you've just arrived & hadn't been able to do any shopping.

It was VERY hard to find the hostel at first, but I liked that it was a short walk from the T-bana station.

Be aware! It's a spetacular hotel. Yes, I mean hotel, not a HOSTEL. You pay a fair price for an hotel, not for a hostel. Because the place is fantastic. The rooms are inside their museum - yes, they have a museum. The price of the others services are also expensive too. It's a little bit far from the center, but it's fantastic. But not a hostel. Enjoy it!

Hostel Overview
Best hostel in Sweden 2008! Newly renovated luxury hostel in an old prison in central Stockholm. Stockholm 'Långholmen' hostel offers you a unique hostelling experience. Be inspired with one of HI's 'hostels with a difference' - a former jail hostel! This converted prison hostel is one of the HI network of hostels in Sweden, and one of five hostels in the Stockholm area. Inside this distinctive youth hostel visit the prison museum, illustrating 250 years of prison history. In contrast, take a relaxing stroll in the middle of Stockholm on Långholmen, a beautiful island rich in history. The island is a maze of paths ideal for walking and jogging.***Please Note*** The prices apply to members in IYHF. If you are not a member a fee of SEK 50 per person and night will be charged upon check-in. Membership cards can be purchased at hostel.
