"Guests at this hotel-hostel, in a former prison on Långholmen island, sleep on bunks in a cell, with either shared or private baths (it's much nicer than that sounds; there's a playful vibe throughout." Full review
Frommer's "Visitors enjoy greenery, theater, wine-tasting...rooms are in the former cells and so many are quite narrow. They're surprisingly light-filled, with contemporary if quite simple furnishings" Full review

If you visit on a Thursday night, be sure to catch the live jazz in the bar.
Frommer's "The mood and décor is less icy Scandinavian and more hot-blooded African and Asian...78 rooms are individually kitted out—all romantic, personal, odd, and lovely, with jewel-toned walls" Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Hip Hellsten is owned by anthropologist Per Hellsten, whose slick slumber number features objects from his travels and life." Full review
Michelin Guide "Rooms that mix bold colors with heavy antique woodwork and an assortment of interesting objects. It’s the sort of place that feels curated, rather than designed" Full review
