It can hardly be more central than this. It was from this small island and its royal castle the capital began to grow in the 13th century. Today Castanea Hostel welcomes you to stay within its centuries-old walls, right in the middle of Old Town’s myriad of small cosy shops, galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants. With all public transport and many of the city’s main attractions within just a short walk, it’s a perfect starting point to explore Stockholm – City on Water.
