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. 😊

Spotlessly clean. Great staff. Brilliant conversion of space, quirky to stay in a prison. Well equipped shared kitchen. You don’t hear noise in your room as very thick walls….apart from the birds in the morning if you open the windows.

Nothing it was all great! If I’m pushed then one of the beds wasn’t as comfortable as the other beds but this is only because we asked for an extra bed rather than one of the party having to sleep up high, so it was more of a pop up bed so not unexpected! My bed was very comfortable!

It was an interesting experience to stay in a prison. The hotel is in a lovely, green area, with river and parkland. Staff were helpful and polite. The hotel was very clean. The room was cute, very small of course. Breakfast buffet was nice, in a lovely room. It was very quiet at night. A really fun experience.

Our room, as expected, was tiny, and had single beds. It was a little cold and I did not understand how the old fashioned metal heater worked. There are no shops close by and at night there is no one around when you walk back from the bus or train. But it does feel like a safe area. You do need to walk quite a bit to get there, through parklands and streets, but it was ok.

room was well fitted, with club chair, desk and chair and smaller TV, a short taxi or Uber ride from train station, lovely park like setting with swimming. Because it is a former prison, doors and walls are thick so very quiet. I got my days mixed up and didn't get my things packed up; I was supposed to move to another room because I booked late. Staff left things in room and arranged for me to stay there that night. Because the hostel is also a hotel has exceptional dinning room. A bit pricey for a hostel but great food. They do have sandwiches etc available in frig a reception. There is a reading room space if you wish to hang out someplace rather than your room or the bar. I am looking forward to going back

window was hard to access if you are older. I used my cane to open and shut.

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.

Every now and again I stay somewhere that exceeds my expectations...this place was one of those times. A very friendly man at reception, a spacious shower room with natural window light, and a room with everything I needed including a comfortable bed. All this in an ex-prison! I had a better night's sleep here than I had in a Hilton hotel in Rome a few weeks earlier. During the night is was so quiet, not surprising when you see how thick the walls are! I would definitely stay here again.

For the price I paid, nothing could have been better, it exceeded my expectations by far. The location might be a problem for some people, but for me it was fine.

The staff is fantastic, they were very friendly and understanding. I come in late night and they are still quite energetic and welcoming, especially after a long travel. There's a museum you can go during your visit! And its certainly a cultural experience since the place have a history behind it. The room is also very clean. But still compared to other hostel

The location is sooooo hard to find, could be great if there's an instruction on how to get there for non-locals. 20 mins to the centrals using trains, and 1 hour using the bus. Uses bus more because its closer to the locations. I also got lost one time as well loses 2 hours of my time to find the locations or maybe its just me who is bad with maps :"). But still the staff that welcomes us really make the whole trip worth it.

The staff was really nice and helpful. The whole place was very clean and quite, including the room. There are lots of nice spaces for sitting and hanging out. The rooms are also comfy and the atmosphere is special, which of course was expected. The area was nice and easy to get to and just want I needed.

I must have missed the information about brining your own bed sheets and towels, but I could rent these things at the property and it was not too expensive. Given this fact, maybe it was more expensive than I expected. The bed was also not super comfortable, but okay for a night or two.

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.

The room was small, but it felt just the right size for a solo traveler, it was clean and had good facilities. The breakfast was amazing, very varied, well worth the money. The whole hotel is big and lovely decorated. And the museum onsite is worth a look.

Although i do understand the reasoning, i didn't quite appreciated having to pay for sheets and towels.
