The hostel has a really nice, welcoming, and connecting atmosphere. The staff is friendly and very helpful. A single room (or three bed room for oneself) has no windows and is located right in front of the toilets, which makes it noisy during night. While this isn't too bad, I experienced the room quite expensive under these conditions. Still I can strongly recommend to stay at this hostel.

I honestly can’t recommend this hostel enough. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and full of good energy—but what truly made my experience unforgettable was Michael at the front desk. To be completely honest, I stayed at this hostel because of him. His kindness, charisma, and genuine enthusiasm completely won me over. It’s rare to meet someone who doesn’t just do their job well, but elevates the entire experience for every guest. Michael goes far beyond bas...

It was a good stay. The only thing would be the luggage room is down stairs with alot of stairs. The either thing is the shower spaces are limited, and have to sometimes go out of the way to use them. Which can be a bit difficult. Otherwise, it was an overall pleasant stay. Clean environments, close to everything.

Nice hostel in the heart of the city. Close to Gamla Stan and other important sights. I enjoyed my stay there

The hostel itself is nice, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean, but my friend and I received sheets that were a bit linty and had hair on them.

This Hostel is not missing a single thing, which makes a hostel a great hostel! The atmosphere is so friendly and chill, which concerns the staff as well as the guests. Common rooms and bedrooms are very clean. There's even a well equiped kitchen, which allows to prepare your own meals. Overall, I can highly recommend to stay at the City Backpackers Hostel, when visiting Stockholm!

Pros: Overall nice. People and staff there are friendly. They host events in the evening. They have many rooms, bathrooms, toilets, a large kitchen, and nice common areas. Cons: The facilities are of really low quality: - The beds are squeaky and annoying at night. - The shower rooms are a mess. You *cannot* balance between overhead shower sprinkler or the handheld shower head. The water is a mess. - You need your own lock for the lockers. - Late arrival instructions are like an escape ro...

Very social hostel. They organised a music quiz and a live comedy night. The bar was nice but closed at 8pm. Staff were really friendly. Dorms could do with bed curtains and somewhere to hang a towel.

Excellent hostel! Met lots of great people there. It's nice that they have a bar section as well. The staff are very friendly. Unfortunately I had 3 playing card decks stolen there but that's not the hostel's fault as I left them on a table in the common area for a bit. Bring a lock!

Loved staying here! Staff was helpful and friendly,. It was our favorite Hostel we stayed at through our entire European trip ❤️ the location is easy to get to from the central station and walking distance to shopping, and tourist areas while still having a calm and peaceful ambiance.

Hostel is pretty big. Means that it's a bit hard to meet people because no one even greets each other. Sauna is nice gets around 70°C. My shoes got switched up but the receptionist didn't really care and just said that I have to be patient. So definitely take your shoes in your room!!!

Fantastic hostel in great location! Great English-speaking staff. Spacious self-catering kitchen with mostly IKEA kitchenware. Keypad security throughout. Great after-hours check-in. Showers have heated floors. My only criticism is the room doors have zort-of-opaque windows. The room is never really dark.
