The best youth hostels Sweden

The hostel is located on the mezzanine floor, which reminds us of a ship's hold, where we feel strangely comfortable. The atmosphere is friendly thanks to the small decorative elements and the practical arrangements. The books run along the water pipes, the walls of the kitchen are blackboards where little words accumulate, etc. The living room is very friendly and easy to meet people. Ask at the reception before booking your room, as some of them do not have windows. Atypical experience, and a more than central address!
