Generator Stockholm is part of the design-led hostel brand and sits at Torsgatan 10, near Norra Bantorget park in Norrmalm, about a ten-minute walk from Central Station and the Arlanda Express. It mixes private rooms, for couples, friends and families, with shared dorms, and the public spaces, a bar, lounge and social areas, are stylish and busy. In a city where hotel rates are high, it offers a clean, central and sociable option at a fraction of the price. The surroundings are practical rather than pretty, but Vasastan's cafes and restaurants are close, and the metro connects you quickly to Gamla Stan and Södermalm.
Location: walk to Central Station in ten minutes and to the shops of Drottninggatan in a few; Gamla Stan is a short metro ride or a pleasant walk.
Who it suits: budget travellers, groups and young travellers. Choose a private room if you want quiet, and book early for summer weekends, when the private rooms go first. The bar is busy in the evenings, so rooms away from the public spaces are calmer.
