STF af Chapman & Skeppsholmen Vandrarhem
What the experts agree on
Stay aboard an 1888 trading ship turned hostel in central Stockholm, steps from Gamla Stan and the Royal Palace. Experts praise its unique charm and prime location, though expect basic budget accommodations with shared facilities.
“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.”
– EuroCheapo
DK Eyewitness "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."
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."
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
