The af Chapman boat hostel, centrally located near Stockholm's Old Town, is run by the owners of the Skeppsholmen hostel, located just in front of the Chapman. Together, the two hostels offer over 100 beds and cater to a diverse crowd. Dorm rooms, singles, and doubles provide plenty of options for backpackers, families, and older travelers alike.

The bedrooms in Skeppsholmen—also the name of the island on which the hostels can be found—were recently renovated. Some rooms offer views of the Royal Castle, and all rooms have a private sink. Bathroom facilities are shared with other rooms.

Bedrooms on the af Chapman boat, are currently being renovated. Beds are placed at odd angles in order to provide more open space. The toilets and showers are, in most cases, shared, although two rooms offer private bathrooms (ask ahead).

Common spaces are located in the Skeppsholmen hostel, so if you're staying on the boat, you'll have to come ashore to use the kitchen, pool table, and TV lounge.

Gamla Stan

Dating back to the 13th century, Gamla Stan is the original Stockholm. Grand baroque architecture, winding cobblestone streets, a former royal residence, a cathedral, and some tremendous waterfront views make this small area a don't-miss sightseeing zone.

It's also fairly convenient, as Gamla Stan bridges bustling Norrmalm to the north and hip Södermalm south. Staying in perfectly preserved Gamla Stan isn't easy. There are a limited number of hotels, which are either very upscale or backpacker-oriented.

The bulk of Gamla Stan is on the island Stadsholmen, Riddarholmen, the tiny island just to the west, is usually seen as part of Gamla Stan.
