I loved this place.  I read the negative reviews and, yeah, I can kinda see where they’re coming from…..but it’s missing the point.  It’s a three century old building.  It’s a cheap place to nest while you explore what’s outside its door.  It’s a communal experience, because it’s small.  Expect to talk, expect to make friends.  The manager is a terrific fellow, but it’s not the Hilton:  you mostly have to fend for yourself.  Write down the door code— there’s no 24 hr front desk.  All the guests are assumed to be grownups.  I loved it.  

I loved it.  Great place, great location.  

Location is incredible, its just right next to the water. A few minutes walk to many great spots, pub-crawling and tourist sightseeing. It has a kitchen and it can be messy at time. Bed and shower rooms are ok but a bit pricey for its quality. I still had a pleasant stay at the hostel.

Location is incredible

Its in the old town gamla stan.   Rooms and kitchen and toilet are very small. Its clean and well maintained.   Hostel staff was helpful. We stayed over there only one night. So close to hop on hop off bus stop 

Great location 

Dockside hostel was a good place to stay. I had no issues with cleanliness while I was there. They had plenty of showers (not many toilets) and didn’t have any problems waiting for others. The beds were comfortable enough and the location was right in the center of the city. Would stay again/ 10

Overall I was happy

I have stayed in more than 150 hostels around the world. This one is actually ok. However, after 6 in the evening the place has no staff! Don’t leave your room without knowing the code!! Even if it is just to take a shower. Otherwise you are stranded!!!!

Worth a stay

The best part of this hostel is absolutely its location in the old town close to the water. In a few minutes you can walk to the subway station and explore the city. Because of the age of the building you have to press the doors like really hard to get in! 

Best location in old town, basic rooms.

A friend and I (both 22 years old) were meeting for a girls weekend and stayed here because we were on a budget and didn't want to spend too much on accommodation. Dockside was in a good location in the Old Town and you can walk to a lot from there! It was one of the cheaper ones and the rooms were pretty clean. The staff were friendly. However, it was pretty quiet and probably not the place for younger people to stay (everyone in our room was 35+ and went to bed very early which made it awkward to come in after being out at night). Overall we don't regret staying there.

Cheap and quiet in a good location.

This hostel was not the most comfortable with small rooms, but location was great. Also very well-organized for late arrivals. The girl at the reception was not very talkative, but she helpen us book a taxi. Showers not luxurious, but clean enough for my standards.

Cheap bed, great location

Came to the hostel really early in the morning together with my girlfriend, check-in wasn't until 09:00 but we came in with a code that we'd got earlier in the email. A pretty small place, only two toilets in the whole building, and three pretty small showers in cubicles down in the basement. We didn't get our room until 14 o' clock but we knew that beforehand, the guy in the reception was very nice and had no problems with us leaving our bags for the whole day. Do mind though, the hostel is in a very nice but busy location, and it can get rowdy in the evenings outside the hostel. Woke up a couple of times to people shouting outside and people showering and not feeling too good due to a night out since our room was just next to the showers. Didn't use the kitchen or any of the facilities there, but the coffee and tea were well stocked when I checked.

Pros:
- Good location, 40 meters and you're in old town and on the other side of the street was a stop for the boat traffic that took you to Skeppsholmen and Gröna Lund/Skansen.
- Very nice and accomodating receptionist.
- Comfortable beds.
- Cheap for the location.
- Free wifi.

Cons:
- Very thin doors and windows, you could hear everything..
- Only two toilets, and the toilet paper ran out in the morning. Got restocked as soon as the reception opened though.
- Shower cubicles were very small and a bit dirty.
- Wifi didn't work in the basement.

All in all a decent place. For the price we paid it was okay. Wouldn't stay here more than a night though.

Good location, but some problems.

We arrived at 11 a Friday. We hade got the code, so we could go inside and leave our bags, just under the stairs. B.a.m. no safety. We came back 15 for check in. Nice girl at the reception..I asked for a room at the same level, but hade no answer..all booked up, We had  a room downstairs ..we made our beds..men then I felt I can't take this!! Small and a tiny window not reachable..so I went up to the very nice girl and said I booked a room with ordinary windows! And a miracle happens..She went and took some other guest bag out from a nice room and whoops so were we in room nr 9.So it might happens! But it was no cheeting from our side.
Still I won't book this again. It was to small all over and only 2 toilets  The kitchen worked for breakfast 3 people in there and it was crowded 
The beds were absolutely OK and also the light. The showers were very hot and one of them was very big. Had a nice shower! Thanks for the nice girl in the reception
And the wifi..down in the celler bad working, better upstairs
