room and TV. Towels, sheets and cleaning are included in the price; breakfast can be had
for an extra Skr80, and 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 re-
frigerators). Reception is open 24 hours.
Södermalm
The Södermalm district is only a 15-minute walk or quick subway ride from Viking Line
boats and Centralstationen; it's also the most happening section of Stockholm and is your
best bet for interesting budget or midrange accommodation.

Guests at this hotel-hostel, in a former prison on Långholmen island, sleep on bunks in a
cell, with either shared or private baths. (The friendly, efficient staff promise they will not

ation about the prison's history scattered throughout the rooms and common areas. If
you're really keen on the prison idea, you can also book a 'prisoner for a day' package - a
two-hour competitive game that ends in a three-course meal (Skr886 per person).
