STF Vandrarhem Gärdet

Stockholm


Surrounded by forested trails and open fields in quiet Gärdet, this efficient hostel works more like a no-frills hotel. Rooms are tiny but well planned, and all have their own bathroom and TV. Towels, sheets and cleaning are included in the prices of some rooms. There’s a good guest kitchen.

Everything is sleek and modern with an office feel, though the lobby has some designer touches: red pin chairs, sheepskins, flat-screen TVs. There are no dorms, just private rooms of varying configurations (some lack windows, some have sofa beds, most have refrigerators). Reception is open 24 hours.
