Lobby or reception in City Backpackers Hostel
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.

I loved the vibe of the place! So much that it was actually my second stay there, after 5 years :) It’s also one of the most beautiful hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The place is clean, with great common spaces, but not a party type, so you can hang out with people but also get a good sleep. Staff was super nice and helpful. Kitchen is fully equipped - I find it important to not have to eat all meals outside, especially in an expensive city like Stockholm. The game changer was an option to join a group chat for guests - super cool for solo travellers to find a company for some activities (this way I got a companion to the amusement park)! Also even though the reception isn’t open 24h, there’s a solution if you arrive late. And the location is perfect, a couple of minutes from the metro and central bus station.

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.

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.

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^^
