The 2kroner Hostel Old Town, just across the street from the waterfront, offers 50 beds on the western edge of history-packed Gamla Stan. The building's grand old exterior has little to do with the hostel's Spartan interior, particularly since many of the dorm rooms are subterranean. But what a location! And it certainly is affordable for those who don't mind sharing a room.
Appealing to a mix of guests, from backpackers to older travelers, the Old Town is not party central. But it is a clean, safe place offering rooms that sleep four to six people. Furnishings consist of plain, wooden bunk or twin beds, track lighting, and a table with chair or two. Pillows and duvets are included; sheets and towels are not, though you can rent them at reception. Bathrooms are equally simple, but all the fixtures are new. There are also a few extra sinks in the hall, which help during the morning rush.
Note: The Old Town was formerly an Abbes hostel.
