Hostel STF af Chapman & Skeppsholmen, Stockholm
Expert reviews
“The af Chapman is a storied vessel that has done plenty of travelling of its own. It’s anchored in a superb location, swaying gently off Skeppsholmen. Bunks are in dorms below deck. Apart from showers and toilets, all facilities are on dry land in the Skeppsholmen hostel.”

Fabulous
This hostel is perfect for a short staying in Stockholm. I stayed in the girls only room and it is a typical dorm room. It was clean and they provide a towel and bed sheets. In the room there are lockers but you have to bring your own lock. Like in every dorm room, you have to make your own bed. There are showers and toilets for girls. The location is fine, you have to walk a bridge to go to the city centre, but it is close. I was travelling solo and I felt safe. For 45€ per day it's value for money. And the view from Skeppsholmen island was worth it.

Location, views, staff, cleanliness - all perfect
The location is unbelievable, the secluded island is so peaceful yet just a few minutes walk from the centre. Staff helpful, rooms nice, amazing view.

Very good
Cozy location on an island, with metro 10 minutes away. Very good pricing considering the location, especially if you're visiting for sightseeing. Has a nice cafe on premises. Spacious WC/showering cubicles.
No curtains available on beds. Only micro USB ports instead of sockets next to beds, all my chargers are already USB C so I was out of luck and had to charge my items in the middle of the room. Only 2 normal sockets per 6 person room.

Very clean and nice hostel. If the ship had been (it's was being renovated) it would have been even better.
Very few bathrooms and showers available. As not many other people were there when I was in the hostel this wasn't an issue. However, if more people were present this might be an issue.

Family of 5 friendly central location
The central location that could fit our family of 5 in one room.
It says that there are bikes for hire but this is only seasonally. Also that there are no flat irons available. Our room had a radiator that constantly made the noise of running water....this didn't bother us enough to mention at the time but other people might.

Very good
Very nice that there's a kitchen, so you can make microwave meals if you're in a hurry. Also the ability to park the car (at a cost) outside.

Very good sound isolation.

Pleasant
Possibility to use the luggage room, many places to work in the different floors.
Showers too cold and hot handy. Lack of mirrors in the showers and rooms (dormitory). No possibility of using the bathroom once checked out.

Great location but a little bit expensive considering those cons
The location was amazing! Waterfront and city views all around the hotel. Close to many historical places and museums.
Shared bathrooms are not so comfortable. Literally you can be showering with other people in the toilets. Shared bathroom shouldn’t be necessarily in the same place. We have been in other places with shared bathrooms but they have independent entrances so everyone can have their own privacy even being shared.

Wonderful location and views of the old city, quiet neighborhood, kitchen facilities. Overall the best price/value ratio.
Shared toilet a bit too small

Superb place to stay
The hostel is in a park like environment. The 12 dorm room is spacious, comfortable bed, clean, good wi-fi, sheets and towel are provided. It reminds me of what a hostel used to be. Highly recommended.
The hostel has a small cafeteria shop. Other than that and some shops in the nearby museums, there aren't any shops nearby.

Excellent location and great value.
Great location and such nice staff. A good little cafe on site. Basic menu but perfect for our needs.
A shared bathroom but was fine for one night.

The location is close to the centre and the old town (Gamla Stan). It's easy to go anywhere from the hotel with the bus, subway etc. There's a lot of things to see around. The room was clean and very comfortable. It was also very quiet. I highly recommend the place. The showers were clean but very basic. Too bad we couldn't book a double bed instead of two separate beds.
The restaurant was a bit expensive for the quality of the service and food. The showers were clean but very basic.

The location is the best one. Nice and friendly personal. You can have a breakfast and there is a bar open until 20 o'clock. The petsonal ìs available 24 hours. I really like this hostel. Im coming back again.
The last night I was in a big room. I wish there are a lot of space that customers can be another sites of that room. I was thinking we overnight in the ship.

Everything was great! It was clean, next to the old town, beautiful view from my window. The breakfast was good and the breakfast room was so quiet and peaceful.
Nothing bad to say about this place, I would come back any time.
