"One of the most beautiful youth hostels anywhere in the world offering beds on board a classic ship permanently moored across from the Royal Palace or in Hantverkshuset."

"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."

"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

"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
