Nice place, pretty laidback, kitchen and common spaces are nice. Food is very expensive to buy near hostel, so plan ahead. They have good tips about saving money and seeing the city.

Castanea is pretty much at the center of the Old Town at a beautiful location, with more than enough amenities nearby. The staff are super friendly and the rooms are clean. Never once have I felt uncomfortable even staying at a 16 bed dorm. Met some great people there. To have had my first solo hostel experience in such a nice one was certainly a bit of luck. Thanks guys once more!

The location and staff can’t be beat. There is a reason why this hostel has won ‘Best Hostel in Sweden’ multiple years.

+ 整個青旅很可愛也很乾淨! 共用衛浴的浴室和洗手間都很乾淨~浴室是用布簾做乾濕分離,裡面有小洗手台 服務人員很友善! 房間整體都很乾淨,床好睡,房間空間夠無異味 不過床單枕頭套需要另外支付費用或自備,毛巾拖鞋等也需要自備 整體來說位置還不錯(拖行李箱會走的有點辛苦) 乾淨可愛整潔!

+ 観光に便利な場所にある。

- スウェーデンは、石畳。スーツケースの移動が大変。駅前や、街中の方がいいかも。

+ The location was amazing. The people at the desk very friendly and helpful. The communal space was also very nice, with a lovely little kitchen with everything you need.

- Only after booking it became clear that bed covers were not included in the price and you were not allowed to bring a sleeping bag. Maybe my own oversight and not that big of a deal in the end.

+ Excellent location and clean amenities. Fully equipped shared kitchen if you want to cook your own meals to save $$. Plenty of showers and hot water. Quiet in the late evenings making it easy to sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere.

- Room was quite small but nonetheless comfortable and warm.
