City Backpackers Hostel, Stockholm

Clean comfortable great location extremely friendly and helpful staff

Nothing

The location was perfect; close to the Terminal train and bus stations, and very close to the centre of the city and Gamla Stan. The kitchen is fully equipped. All in all, for the price you pay, it's pretty adequate.

Firstly, i didn't like that you have to pay extra for bed sheets. It is not overtly expensive but it's the principle. Also, the cleanliness and the state of the rooms left a bit to be desired. Finally, my room happened to be the furthest away from the showers and it was annoying. I would appreciate if they had more showers spread out over the building.

This place feels like home. Super clean, in the middle of everything. Very close to central sitation and the main street, has own lovely bar, big enough kitchen with every tools you need and social area.

Well As the hotel's name clearly suggests if you're only traveling with a backpack, the rooms have small lockers with power outlets. However there're only a few lockers downstairs for storing luggage which isn't enough. I hadn't been informed about that either I found it myself. I had placed my suitcase under the bed and someone from my room stole my name tag on the on it which I had carefully bought in NY as a very memory. I know who it was but by the time I realized they were gone. I've never had anything like this happen to me anywhere. It's very surprising.

"Everything about this stay was exceptional! The hostel has a fantastic, modern Scandi design that feels both stylish and cozy. The facilities were spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable with plenty of privacy, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. The staff were welcoming and provided great local tips that made my trip even better. It’s easily one of the best hostel experiences I’ve had."

"Honestly, there was nothing to complain about. If I had to pick one thing, it would only be that I wish I could have stayed longer! Everything met or exceeded my expectations."

The energy of the staff was amazing. The sauna is really good advantage you can meet and talk to new persons there. amd there was even free pasta which you can make your own food with.

extra prices were a bit disturbing. not too much but i think they could have given locks for free to use maybe with some deposits.

Great location and very kind staff.

The bed did not have curtains or separation things. Privacy coud be improved in that sense.

Very nice location with good security. People were very friendly and nice. Would comeback if I have a chance to go Stockholm and would recommend others.

Everything

Amazing place...Good location and café...

All was good...

Social and fun clientele.

Your sleep depends on you roommate's, Friday & Saturday if you are planing an easy calm weekend, then City backpackers might be the wrong spot. Might as well just roll back the years and enjoy the moment.

everything was super clean, the facilities were great, and there were plenty of sinks and bathrooms so you never had to wait for ages to get ready. the fact there is a sauna was an amazing bonus. beds super comfy with super fresh new white sheets - felt like I should've been paying way more. Location is great - most places in the city walkable within 30mins, and a five minute walk away from central station so really easy to use public transport

Very clean. Lots of bathrooms and showers.

It felt very homey. I loved that everyone has to take their shoes off at the front, that the hard wood floors were creaky, and that it was old school themed in the common area.

The warmth of the environment and the location

The sauna could be bigger The bathrooms close to the sauna could be better The bathrooms in the resting area are no needed

Staff was so nice Everything was so clean

Nothing Everything was beyond perfection

Comfortable beds and beautiful interiors. The access to sauna was the best part. Very well maintained sauna and shower rooms.

The fact to remove the shoes outside and go barefoot inside the rooms.

Everything was great! Clean, staff is lovely, lots of stuff to do and ways to meet people

Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay 10/10

Just a little throw off by having to pay for bedding.

Everything was great. Absolutely perfect for the price. Good location. Comfortable bed, clean room (woman) and common spaces. The kitchen is big enough for everyone, and you also have the chance to wash clothes if you would like to. In the “living room” you can find card and board games. For me this place was 10/10.

Everything!!!!! Hospitality was exceptional.all Staff were super friendly.

Nothing

The cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed in probably, super cosy and warm despite the cold Swedish February outside! The kitchen and chill out areas were great and spacious, the sauna was hot and super clean, the staff were helpful, the hostel felt very safe with the secure key codes for the rooms and external door, and the perfect location too

It would be great if towels were included and not an extra charge

The hostel has successfully turned around every disadvantage it has. So well done! 1. Confusing building structure → Draw the map and label every corner and space. Equip electric locks at every exit to ensure safety. 2. Cold basement → Provide wool blankets and cushions. And don’t forget the sauna is a necessity. 3. Depressing winter days → Add colorful designs and lend skate shoes for free. Other lovely advantages: provide free pasta, kind and dynamic staffs speak perfect English and multi-languages, free luggage storage within 24 hours.

It's close to the train station

Highly recommended! Excellent location. Great kitchen: Large space with a huge fridge and complete kitchenware. Work-friendly: The desks in the public area are perfect for laptop use. Comfortable shower: Hot water was consistent and relaxing. Convenient: Big shared sinks that are great for hand-washing clothes. I would definitely stay here again when I return to Stockholm!

everything. lovely staff. very social people

It felt so homey and the communal spaces felt comfortable and easy to meet people

On the positive side, the hostel features excellent common areas and a sauna, which created a nice social atmosphere. However, the experience was dampened by the linen policy. Guests are required to make and strip their own beds, even during late-night hours, which inevitably disturbs others in the room. When I brought this up, the staff’s response was disappointing; they noted that the policy 'makes their job easier'. While the facilities are okay, the service philosophy needs significant improvement.

I was disappointed to find that guests are required to both make and strip their own beds, regardless of their check-in or check-out time. Performing these tasks during late-night hours inevitably disturbs other sleeping guests. When I raised this concern, the staff’s response was quite unprofessional; they stated that this policy 'makes their job easier' and suggested I simply move slower to avoid noise. I found this lack of service and disregard for guest comfort unacceptable.

Location location location c/b 10/10

Number of showers should be more

Location, enough sharing space, free sauna, many showers and toilets, laundromat, nice kitchen, enough space in the room, price

Self bed making, no curtain on the bed

The room is decorated really cute with all wooden interior. There’s a big sofa and a locker inside as well, and the room it self is big, providing lots of space for 6 girls. The bathroom is small but comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped

I just think it’s a bit weird to not include the bed sheet fees in the hotel price from the start, since it’s mandatory to rent a bed sheet anyway

It was cold at night

Tutto

No one thing

Great that they have a sauna in the hostel. Rooms were clean and comfortable. It had a big kitchen and lots of fridge space.

You have to put your on sheets on in the middle of the night waking everyone up as we arrived at 3am. The hostel is a bit of a maze and hard to find the rooms. You have to pay extra for sheets which should be included in the price. It’s a little far from the old town Gamla Stan.

The workers were very friendly and helpful. Common areas were clean. They offered coffee and pasta.

The lockers were small and only fit large padlocks. There are no curtains to provide more privacy in the shared rooms.

Reception helpfulness, clarity information, and politeness

Locker inside room, it cannot fix a proper locking

Everything worked and for an amazing price!

Not their fault but the disrespect among the many people during night… i was barely asleep because the loud door and lights disturbing caused by a traveler… Bathrooms could me renovated but worked 👍🏻

It was class

The Americans

Everything is just perfect: the location, the kitchen,bathrooms,sauna,friendly staff

Everything, one of the best hostels I have ever been

/

Great location, warm and cozy room with a window. Very comfortable bed with a good mattress and pillow. Lockers are available; having your own lock is a plus. Guests walk around without shoes — in socks or slippers — and the hostel is very clean. There is an excellent sauna, open from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Many doors have code locks, so it’s a good idea to take photos of the codes during check-in and keep them on your phone in case you forget. Very friendly and helpful staff, with a great atmosphere overall. A unique hostel with a cozy retro style and a warm, welcoming vibe.

It is central, cheap, social, hosts activities, has a place to socialize and has a bar and quite clean.

I feel like the way to showers shouldn’t pass by the common area but it is a nitpick

I really like the place and the facilities

Be aware that people might snore so bring earplugs

Location , Quality environment and nice facilities. There was even a sauna. If I came again, I would stay here again

Nothing

It was walkable to the main areas we wanted to go, communal bathrooms were reasonable clean. They also have luggage storage which you can access with a code to drop off and pick up luggage as you pleased. They have a large communal kitchen and also a washing machine and dryer you can pay to use.

Similar to others, I’m not sure why linen and towels are charged separately? They should just be embedded in the price since it’s not as though people are travelling with linen The room was also very small so be prepared to have very little space with the luggage on the floor

The place!

The reception close at 8PM. It was a little complicated to understand the way for go to my room

very nice commun Spaces especially the bar.

Kitchen without windows. À part of hostel in thé basement

Furnished very nice and good rooms and open areas

Nothing in particular

Amazing experience such a nice location

Everything seems to be on point

Near to the train station and restaurant

Good location near by the railway station and bus stop. Free tea and coffee served in the morning.

WiFi doesn't work well sometimes downstairs.
