STF Långholmen Hostel

Had a wonderful 3 night stay here. Originally a prison, it has been converted into a quirky, comfortable hotel retaining many of the features. The bedrooms were cells, small but well equipped with ensuite bathrooms. The position is slightly outside the centre of Stockholm but all the better. Situated on a lovely peaceful island within walking distance to Gamla Stan and the museums. The breakfast is amazing with an enormous variety of choices. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here and would love to return. The in house museum is a must.

Långholmen hotel and hostel is a truly wonderful place to stay! The hostel room we booked, however, was a bit claustrophobic and the mattresses were thin and rather uncomfortable. We ended up upgrading on-site to one of their hotel rooms. As this was a special trip, it was worth it to us. If it were just me, traveling solo, the hostel would have been just fine. Breakfast is 5-stars. Staff is 5-stars. There is a restaurant on site with a limited menu but is quite good and reasonable in price. It is a bit of a walk, about 10 min, to any transit. If you don't have a car, this may be a problem. However, we walked or rented bikes and it was fine for us. I have been to Stockholm before and hands down Langholmen is one of the most beautiful places in the city. 10/10 recommend! Maybe choose the Hotel room though if you want a more comfortable stay.

What a fantastic stay! I was nervous about staying in a former prison, but everything about the experience was fantastic. An excellent option with a delicious breakfast and wonderful employees. I'd definitely stay here again!
