City Backpackers Hostel, Stockholm

The place is authentic, clean and nice

Place is amazing! Really close to the C central so you can get to the hostel just by walking. People are so welcome, everything looks so nice, rooms are big enough and beds are comfortable. There is really enough place for everyone in common rooms, vibes are really welcoming. Had some great time there event tho it was short visit. Also, as a solo female traveler, I felt really safe and sound there! Definitely recommend this place and i’ll come back next time visitig Stockholm! 🫶🏻

I really like the building and the facilities. Very comfortable and you get all you need to have a nice stay.

We like the vibe and the general concept. We like how lively it is, and that overall it was quite clean and nice. This hostel was very communal, it had a shared kitchen that had everything you need, social spaces, games and computers, so many people hanged around. Sauna was amazing! Its also in a Very convenient location, near the central station, and also a pretty live-music place called Fasching (We recommend!). Lastly, the spatial organisation of the hostel is original and interesting, see for yourself^^

Maybe for people who have solid sleep it s not such a problem, but for those of us who sleep lightly, it s hard to get a good rest. Especially in the shared rooms. The doors are also very loud and you can’t leave the room or come back without making lots of noise. Also, it would be super cool to have some little shelves to hold toiletries in the shower. Lastly, sometimes there was no toilet paper in the toilets on the ground floor (especially in the evenings).

The premises are very clean and safe. There’s free coffee from 11. The dormitory is comfortable with crispy perfect sheets for 35 SEK. The kitchen gets crowded at peak times, but since everyone was very kind, courteous and trying to help others here it was no problem. They also have surprisingly accommodating and professional volunteers here who I felt very safe and comfortable asking them to help me. All in all a very well run hostel which is well worth the money in central Stockholm ☀️🇸🇪 The high points of my stay was the Swedish reception girl with the cap (name unknown) and most of all Gustav, the complete star ⭐️ at reception who every time I wanted assistance went above and beyond his way to make sure my stay was comfortable. I also repeatedly saw him doing this for other guests. He could easily work in a 5 star hotel with his natural and genuine ability for service and his extra touch to make the guests’ stay unforgettable 🙂 All in all a great budget option for Stockholm.

Best and most popular hostel among travellers, i heard. fantastic kind service, very beautiful place, best kitchen ever, best beds, and a sauna ! Loved it.

Only slight problem, not enough showers and toilets, but considering the massive positives, don't mind the wait !

Well located and very clean!

Bunks don't have curtains. If others turn on their bed light, it's pretty bright.

the place was really great, really clean, the people were very sociable and respectful, the staff was super helpful, there is strong security for the rooms, the location is close to the central station, totally recommend it and would gladly come back. also super safe and a good option if you travel alone (i say that as a young woman)

nothing to complain about

Nice

Nice location, close to the station. Lots of facilities at walking distance like restaurants, supermarkets etc. Staff is friendly and helpful. Kitchen facility is availble which is great but it can get crowded at dinner time so you may have to wait a little. Lobby is very lively and there is coffee facility in the lobby. You can get lot of information about the city from the reception staff, they are really helpful. you can store your luggage also in case you are early for check-in, which is great. Overall i had a comfortable stay here.

I think it is a bit pricey, the value for money is not great.

I feel good in this hostel , people very kinds

Clean ... showers any where

Very cozy and nice spaces! Super organized

Unfortunately the night I stayed here, some people had a little party until midnight and there was a lot of chaos. But after that time, they stopped, although the time to stay quiet should be from 11 pm.

Great staff and lovely spot in the city

Great Hostel! Very friendly people, nice and clean room, bathroom and kitchen, free pasta and free coffee and tea after 11am. You can even rent a bike

In the city centre, close to the Cityterminal station. The Room was clean and comfortable

This is probably the 4th time I’ve stayed here. The location of this hostel is fantastic. It’s within walking distance of train, metro, and bus stations. Also, there are plenty of options for eating, shopping, and groceries nearby, with a 7Eleven just 2 blocks away. The internet is fast and reliable (I could work and have my meetings without any issue). The staff is super nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. I’ll keep recommending this place every time I stay.

Its location! Some people from the staff were great and friendly! I liked that we made Christmas ornaments too! Clean bathrooms!

That the reception isn’t 24/7.

The property has a sauna you can use for free as well as a large kitchen and common area to relax. They have free games and also free ice skates. The rooms were very spacious and well equipped.

The kitchen doesn’t have an oven which would have been nice. Also the drains in the shower in our room were really bad at draining so you had to turn the shower off a few times to let the water go so you didn’t flood the room. Beside from that the water pressure was great and hot.

Location is super good and convenient. Staff is super nice and very helpful. You have everything you need within the property. They have free luggage room to keep your stuff while you are away, which has own security system for protection. They also have a sauna room which is very cool. They have a common kitchen area, you can cook food or store your food in fridge/freezer.

The rooms are scattered in multiple floors and bathrooms are only located in the Basement. If you stay on ground floor level, then you need to go to basement to take a shower. They do have a laundry room however, they do not have an iron to iron the cloths.

The staff is very friendly.

There’s a smell in the lobby because all the shoes have to be left in the entrance 😅

I loved the environment of the stay plenty of social areas, free pasta, board games and an outdoor area that was shut down but I imagine is fantastic in summer.

Accommodation is close to the bus and train station for transport but further away from the main attractions. Still in great walking distance to everything but not right on the doorstep. You also have to pay additional for sheets and a towel on arrival.

Very cool design, warm welcome, many facilities - you might not even want to leave the hostel to explore the city! :D highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a hostel environment!

Good location and beautiful place, nice staff, ... everything ok!

So many diferents codes for entry in the zones

The rooms were very comfortable. I enjoyed the free Sauna on site and liked all the amenities on offer. I didn't get a chance to use the kitchen but I could see it was well stocked for individual and group cooking

The communal showers next to the Sauna were not very good. The water pressure felt like a dribbling tap and I couldn't get the termperature to play nice. There also wasn't suitable changing areas for the Sauna as the only closed of place was the toilet which was extremely small.

Good location and easy to find

Wish you could pre book a bottom bunk as have a knee problem so it made it hard to climb into the top bunk

Really comfortable and sociable space. Always clean - good showers and great staff.

All good !

Had a really good time as a solo traveller. The common areas are spacious and facilitate social interactions with other travelers really well. All the spaces were really clean and well furnished. The free ice skate rental and the free pasta were a nice addition as well. The location was pretty good too, close to the central station and most hotspots were walkable.

A sink in the room would have been nice, but there were honestly enough sinks, toilets and showers close to every room. Also, half of the rooms are below ground so they don’t have windows, so if you don’t like that sort of room it’s good to know or to ask for one with a window.

Everything. The satff, the guests, the free things provided, the rooms, the decoration, the kitchen, the common areas...

I can't think of anything I didn't like

Location was amazing!!!

I don’t understand why the property couldn’t just add the cost of bed/pillow linens to the booking itself. Stayed in many hostels in Europe but it was my first time having to pay for it and also put it on and remove it upon departure. The pillow was small n flat, the bed was also super soft n bad. =( my back didn’t feel good after 2 nights

Beautiful and cozy common spaces, lots of chances of interaction with other travellers. The spaces were kept very clean

It's a really cool place for a couple of nights, free pasta como one that's awesome.

N/A

This truly has been my favourite hostel across Europe following months of travel. The location was perfect, just outside of the mayhem of the central area but everything within walking distance including shops and restaurants and cafes. The room was clean, and I shared it with lovely girls. Kitchen also well stocked and had individual fridges each room. This hostel was large and sometimes they feel overwhelming and isolating but there was the perfect balance of cosy and intimate hang out areas to make it feel small and fun.

I guess the downside of being near a train station and in somewhere like Stockholm most nights there was guests coming in late and leaving early in the morning without even seeing them.

The society

Luggage room is scam! “For free” after this bullshit i pay 5€ with out this bullshit was the hostel great ! Top hostel!

Central location, near the train station. Comfortable beds. Shared kitchen. Free pasta.

Cozy common room (but without windows)

The kitchen was not clean

everything was perfect except the soft bed

bed too soft (for me)

The sauna!!! So nice. The location is great and the kitchen’s well equipped

Bedrooms are super small and don’t have curtains or very big lockers

1.) Personal washroom, even if not attached to the dorm 2.) Spacious kitchen and common rooms 3.) Pasta on the house, and tea/coffee at certain hours, although I did not have any 4.) Clear instructions for late check in, if one arrives late 4.) VERY helpful staff

Rooms could be a bit bigger

The staff are all kind, and most things are excellent. There is a sauna and kitchen. And, if you want to take a break, there is complimentary hot tea and coffee in the reception.

During check-in, the staff told me I had to pay for bed sheets. This is okay, but I got a dirty one, so I felt disappointed. Remember to bring your keys and locks, as the lockers in the room do not include locks.

Made friends and was super welcomed from the staff. The location was also 10/10.

The bathroom was a little nasty.

Apartment in a hostel. Superb location to both shopping and train station.

Need more space for shoes.

Staff are so kind and very helpful.

The vibe was awesome - amazingly friendly staff with very spacious common areas and activities to enjoy so that you can make friends and have a great time in Stockholm!

Literally nothing.

Staff, location, cleaning, services

Choosing this hostel not for the first time, the location is just amazing and for the money we paid we've got great value. Stuff is super friendly, helped with everything. The community is really great. Will definitely stay again.

We stayed in the female only room with the private bathroom, which is separated from the main block of rooms. The doors, wooden beds and floors in our room were very noisy and it was impossible not to bother each other. In this case the rooms without private bathrooms are much better in my experience, the beds/floors/doors are much less noisy. We could also use the common bathrooms ofc to reduce the noise, but they are too far away and to go there we need to go out and then enter through a different entrance. So this is the only disadvantage we found which was not really the case while staying in simple mixed rooms.

Location of the hostel is great! Everything is close by, Central station, supermarkets, bakeries... The room was nice, it was clean and quiet! Very kind and friendly staff!

The room was a bit cold, you could feel the cold coming from the windows.

The location is amazing, so close to the Central station for trains and busses to the airport. Just a 30-40 min walk away from all the big attractions. Anything you could need is close by, shops, bakeries, restaurants... The kitchen is equipped very well. The staff is kind and friendly!

The room was a bit cold, so sleeping in a hoodie was necessary for a couple of nights.

Price, location, staff, atmosphere

Not enough the bathroom. Toilets were not clean

Great location, all base facilities (shower, kitchen etc), sauna (for free!!). A lot of toilet rooms so you don’t need to wait for a long time (especially at mornings). Very kind and friendly staff❤️ There is a possibility to store you luggage for free up to 24 hours after checkout

The dormitory and relaxation facilities should have been warmer.
