Book hostel FIRST in Abisko.net
I share how to enjoy Abisko in my last post
What to do in Arctic Circle-Abisko, Sweden? Dog sledding/ Ice Fall/ Lake Torneträsk
This time I will tell you how to manage the accommodation and transportation from Stockholm to Abisko.
Order of Booking
Accommodation » Stockholm-Abisko Östra train ticket Sweden SJ » Flight
The reasons to do so because the accommodation is not quite enough and there are only 2 trains per day.

In my experience, the advantages of it are
(1) 3 share kitchens: Kitchen utensils are well prepared such as oven, microwave, kettle, plates, bowls, and even salt. I heard some of my friends living in Mountain Lodge say that it is expensive but they even couldn’t use the microwave.
(2) Sauna: It is free to enjoy the sauna from 8 pm to 9 pm every day.
(3)Skiing/warm equipment: Free to use it if sign up for any trip provided by the hostel.
(4)Cheap: about 30 euros/per night
(5)Easy to sign up: if you wanna join in any activities, just go direct to the reception.
The disadvantages are
(1)No shower: it is situated in the other building. Need a walk for 30 sec.
(2)No partition in the shower: you might take a shower with strangers. I was a bit embarrassed but in the end, it seemed to be normal.
(3)No key for the room: I was surprised there was no key for the room. If you are worried about this, bring a lock with you.
