City Backpackers Hostel, Stockholm

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.

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.

everything is clean. The location is close to the central station

I loved everything. It was cozy and super comfy. They offer free pasta, coffee, tea etc. decoration was super nice. They even have a sauna. Late check in is available. Kitchen is one of the best equiped kitchen I have ever seen (maybe even the best) I will definitely stayed there again.

Towels and sheets were charged. That part is a bit buzz kill.

Good location !

Everything was good !

Everything, nice environment, nice location and good commodities.

Great service, so cosy and just really easy

Perfect Location, funny atmosphere.

Every single second was vital for us since we had just one day in Stockholm to travel but check in delayed. We arrived at 1 afternoon and we waited until 15.00 to get our room.

Sauna and kitchen, basically everything. And they need to take off the shoes which is awesome bcz you don’t smell someone’s shoes at night.

Hope they can equip shampoo and shower gel

This hostel is so so awesome. Clean. Big kitchen. Super social/fun travelers. Free coffee and tea after 11am. A free Fika gathering on Tuesday afternoon. Free pasta ALWAYS.

One of two dryers was broken so had to take more time to get an available one. Was monitoring my clothes to move them every 15-20 minutes, but kept getting skipped. In the and, someone kindly flipped it for me. Love the people here!

Small and cosy hostel. Great common facilities making it very easy to socialise. Would definitely stay again

A little noisy bunks and the surcharge for sheets and towels seemed a little unnecessary when they could just be included in the price as it’s mandatory

Had a great stay at this hostel. Excellent location, the staff were fantastic and the check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. The free luggage storage was a plus, making it easy to explore after check-out. A great spot for both groups of friends and solo travellers.

The only downside was that a towel wasn’t provided with my late check-in even though I asked for it.

Very clean and quiet; very good location; good value.

Too many numeric codes to open the doors. If you forget one of them you are in trouble.

almost everything

that scammy message from you on booking.com

Very clean , quiet,comfy,good vibe!

great location. has a sauna which I loved.

too many door codes to remember.

Very friendly stuff and nice vibe . Easy to connect and everything was clean. Even they offer past, coffee and tea for free :)

Nothing

Perfect location. Great value for money. Big area where you can meet people

Lockers are not big, but they have a collective luggage place (free) that you need a code to get in

Great experience, friendly and helpfull staff, cool feel to the place. nice location. lots of activities.

nothing worth mentioning.

The staff are so friendly, the vibe inside is very cool and vintage. The place encourages socialisation through common rooms and kitchens etc and overall I had a lovely time there, I met some great people and I felt completely safe!

-

Clean and easy night check in. Very informative and fast-replying service, I basically did not meet any of personel due to my late check in and early check out but they were very communicative and available in chat.

Very friendly receptionist, and a very clean room with great facilities. We rented a private room, which was great for our purpose

Nothing, everything was good

The hostel is very cozy, clean and central.

To open every door you need a code that change everyday! I got mad! And for the people that arrive late in the night, it’s so hard to prepare the bed (since you have to prepare it by yourself with mandatory linen that you have to book in the hostel!) And since the plan of the hostel is very hard to remember they should put more floor plan around the hostel. I got lost a lot of Times.

The staff, the beds, the vibes

coming back to the same hostel because good price, nice location , sauna! and nice people stay there and nice staff . Definitely coming back

was some temporary issues probably with the toilets some of them were out of order, and storage room wasnt free like last time charged a little bit. comfortable beds but veeery loud in some rooms. there could be a general bin in the kitchen area not just recycling bins. would be nice to have hooks somewhere in the room to hang some wet towels or clothes

Best value in Stockholm. Located near the train station, but most everything is walkable in the city. Had a bit of common space plus free coffee available for a bit of the day.

Would be nice to have a little privacy around the beds as they were just bunks, but it was workable.

Location very central, quiet and friendly hostel

I was surprised that coffee & tea were offered for free, the hostel has a sauna and group activities twice a week! :)

The sauna , everyone was so nice and helpful . !!!

The location is near at the station.
