Zinkensdamm is a very conveniently located hostel with plenty of thoughtful touches, such as free pasta in the communal kitchen and access to a lockable fridge.
The communal showers and toilets were very clean. It is located right next to a beautiful park and a small beach.
You are within close walking distance and it's only a 30 minutes walk to Gamla Stan.

We had a wonderful stay. What we appreciated the most were the commun kitchen and lounge, the restaurant that is offering yummy and affordable dinner option and a nice patio area and also the location. It was wonderful to be walking distance to the city center and most attractions but in a super calm and green area. The park and the water front make this place such a paradise. We had a private room with 2 bunk beds. The only downside was the metal bunk bed as it wasn’t as comfortable and the ladder was rough on the feet and not conveniently located for the lower bed. Other than that, you can’t have a better deal for your $ than this amazing place!

The best Hostel I have ever been to!
10/10 Clean (washroom and kitchen are always so clean) despite sometimes the place is little crowded.
Hostel has so many lobby or sitting areas.
The people at reception were also amazing and helpful!

The good thing about this hostel was it has so many alleyways or corridors so you might always end up to some new place.

Central location. 3 minute walk to bus stop, 10 minute walk to metro. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice dining area. Clean linen and towels available (for extra cost). Shared toilet and shower that were all clean.
The room was very small for 1 adult and 3 teenagers and two of the beds were fold down and narrow, no view from the window, just the back stairs.

Nice Rooms, But Watch the Price During Check-in

We stayed in the hotel part, not the hostel. Nice private room with private toilet & shower.
Check-in was problematic. The price I was expected to pay---in Swedish crowns---seemed high.
Fortunately, my accountant son caught the discrepancy. I had told him the Hotels.com price in U.S. dollars.
It turned out that STF was trying to charge us a price $300 higher than the Hotels.com price!
It took her awhile, but the check-in clerk eventually found the error (we had to show her the Hotels.com reservation confirmation).
She said that someone had neglected to press a button to give us the Hotels.com price.
But we had booked it on Hotels.com!!!!

Lovely hotel / hostel in Södermalm

My friend and I spent a long weekend here in late September 2018 (3 nights). The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Shared facilities such as the WC and showers were very clean and never very busy. There is even a shared kitchen with excellent cooking facilities. We were also very happy with our room which was just the right size (and the mattress was comfy enough!). Overall I was very impressed as customer experience was top notch although the room was affordable.
The area is lovely and green and about 5 minutes' walk to Hornsgatan, a large road with several shops, bars and restaurants which seem to be popular with locals and tourists alike. We walked everywhere from the hotel but if you prefer using the subway there is a T-stop about 4 minutes from the hotel.
I will definitely be returning to Zinkensdamm Hotel in the future! Thanks for a great stay.

Basic but clean hotel near to playgrounds

We were on a budget trip.

The room was very small but clean.

Staff were very pleasant.

There was a shared kitchen and eating space. You can use a private space in the fridge. Sweden can be expensive so we cooked some meals ourselves. It felt like student days but actually quite pleasant to be surrounded by lots of lovely languages and my children made friends.

Just a few metres away is an excellent play park. A little further and you reach the water. In good weather you can swim there.

The tube was easy to use. We caught the commuter boat to sightsee on the water - much cheaper and arguably better than the sightseeing version as we got to sit outside in lovely weather.

Great value but beware of what you are getting

A cool location in a park, but down a lot of steps so not so easy if you don't take a taxi and have luggage. The rooms are very basic, but you are staying here because you're on a budget. You can save the linen fee if you being a sheet and towel. There is a shared kitchen with free pasta and cooking facilities and a secure fridge to hold your stuff. Not a ton of restaurants very nearby, but the hotel restaurant is decent but limited menu, others are about a 15 minute walk. A very good value in Stockholm if you are ok with the shared bathroom, which is kind of like camping.

A few words about Zinkensdamm ...

The hostel accommodation is great and in a very good location for exploring this beautiful city. The staff were always courteous and professional and have very useful local knowledge which is a great help. The facilities are good and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. We only took breakfast at the hostel, which was good and offered a wide range of foods to suit different tastes. The ambiance seems to rub off on the travelling community and we enjoyed a few brilliant days mixing with people from all walks of life. A fantastic break and we would not hesitate to visit again or to recommend the accommodation to others.

Jeg fik en opgradering til med privat badeværelse.
Som andre skriver er sengene gode at sove i, men hovedpuderne lader meget tilbage at ønske og giver nærmest ingen støtte til nakken.
På badeværelset havde badeforhænget skjolder og trængte til en udskiftning. Bortset fra det var der rent og pænt.
Der er to slags morgenmadsbuffet at vælge imellem. Jeg valgte den dyre af dem henvendt til hotellets gæster, og den er lækker med røræg, bacon, pølser, pandekager, græsk yoghurt, hjemmelavet müsli og marmelade.
