City Backpackers Hostel

Good hostel, rooms are a little small, but there is a lot of common space. There is also a free sauna, which is nice to use. Location is pretty good, about 10 minutes from the main station. Not very social

Great location and affordable price close to central station. My only complaint was that my bed in the 8 bed dorm was on an exterior wall by the street and not soundproof at all- the hostel itself has quiet hours but I didn’t sleep well because of noise from the street and random drunk men talking loudly outside at midnight. Only stayed one night so didn’t explore much of the communal spaces beyond the kitchen and common rooms, but what I did see was pretty nice and well maintained.

It was an amazing stay. The bedrooms were nice and clean. The hostel big, with more than one common room where you can socialize, play games, have dinner... The kitchen is big and you have basic food for free to cook. The staff was kind and attentive and they had plans and recommendations for everybody to experience in Stockholm. The people in the hostel was friendly, you can make new friends easily. They also rented ice-skates for free!

The staff here are generally quite helpful, but the hidden costs and lack of basic amenities ruined the experience. It feels like this hostel nickel-and-dimes you for absolutely everything. No Amenities: You have to provide all your own toiletries. No shampoo or shower gel is provided at all. Expensive Laundry: It costs a steep 50 SEK just to wash clothes. Luggage Trap: To top it off, they charge an outrageous 98 SEK just to store your luggage. The helpful staff is the only reason this isn’t a 1-star review. Look elsewhere if you don't want to be constantly paying extra fees.

Stayed here multiple times over the last year. One of the best hostels I stayed in! Everything is very clean and tidy. Kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Staff is very kind and can usually help you within minutes. Even after the reception is closed, there is usually a person available. The atmosphere is very friendly and I got to know quite a few good peeps staying here. The hostel organizes every now and then group events, quizzes or pub crawls. Even has a sauna area. Worth every penny!
