Star Service "One of Scandic's more enthusiastic group stops, a centrally located full-service operation with a fresh modern look that is perhaps the most sophisticated of the half-dozen or so siblings in the city." Full review

Rough Guide "Right in the centre and immensely popular, this former craftsman’s workshop is of a similar standard to Af Chapman, at the foot of whose gangplank it lies."
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick
"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." Full review
Time Out "The Swedish word for a hostel, ‘vandrarhem’ (literally, a wanderer’s home), evokes images of coming home from a country walk to a warm fire." Full review
Afar Magazine "Built in 1888 as a trading ship, the visually impressive af Chapman, with its tall flagged masts, was re-purposed into a hostel that is centrally located on the island of Skeppsholmen." Full review

"The af Chapman is a storied vessel that has done plenty of travelling of its own." Full review
