Klara Hostel Stockholm

Central location

On on

My friend and I checked in here and immediately felt the vibes were off. We thought it was odd you had to rent sheets (in previous hostels we only had to rent towels). The man at the front desk led us to our room but he essentially put us in an occupied room and we walked in on another guest, which was awkward to say the least. We were promptly led to a different room but we had already seen enough. After looking at a few reviews, we decided to check out a day earlier than intended. The check out process was essentially non-existent. Clientele basically acted as spokespeople when the front desk man was nowhere to be seen. We returned later (with difficulty entering due to the fact that the front door code changes every day and the front desk man was not there in the morning) and were told we do not need to check out. What a strange experience, and do not recommend especially for female travellers.

The whole place smelled like old, wet carpet. The TV in the room did not work. There were no lamps or pictures in the room like the listing suggests. The sheets are for rent and stained. The check-in time was not accurate and the reception says open at 9 but it is not. The lock on my room didn't work unless I forcefullly lifted the door to make sure it latched. There is no vent in the room so it is stuffy. It is a very convenient location and the staff is helpful but I have paid less for better conditions.

This was just sad. Bed Bugs in the bed and room. Stayed for 2 night, but it was worse than I thought. Service was good, but not the little pets sucking blood. Cheap, but not worth the money when you know that you will wake up in the night with them crawling around you in the bed..
