City Backpackers Hostel

We had a great stay, the hostel is really nice, had good facilities such as the kitchen and wifi, it’s super clean, nice and quiet and the staff were very helpful and friendly

wifi signal is not good.

Nice cosy hostel where the staff were friendly in a good location within walking distance of the central station and old town. Found it to be very good value for money- make sure to read the details of the hostel as you do have to make your own bed up and hire towels separately in case those things are an issue for you. Found the room to be very quiet, clean, with a comfortable bed and was a good temperature. Lockers are a bit on the small side to fit a suitcase/larger bag but as there's plenty of floor space you can pop these out of the way. Attached bathroom was clean and showers were good- plenty of hot water and space for clothes etc. There is only 1 toilet which is inside one of the 2 shower rooms attached to the room but there is also another toilet just down the corridor and plenty of sink space so didn't cause any issues for us even with all the bunks occupied. Enjoyed the sauna and appreciated the map of the hostel given when checking in which made finding my room a lot easier. Decent wifi throughout too. I think there was also free pasta available but didn't personally try this. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Roommates are very friendly and helpful. I didn’t go to the sauna in the night but I tried this next morning. And then I was afraid that it was not warm and hot there.

Nice and clean room, with a clean and nice common rooms. Funky old building, and reception was super helpful. Just be aware they charge for sheets on-top of the room rate (30SEK) that's payable when you arrive. They could have some more toilets and showers, but it's not a massive issue.

I booked a private room for 2 guests. And I would not recommend it to anyone. Pro: on Normalm district so it is close to most major attractions. Cons: the property is not worth the price they are charging, and here is why - 1. There are no lifts or ramps on the property making it inconvinient to carry your luggage. 2. There are codes for every entrance which keeps changing instead of a card system. 3. Rooms are extremely small with A. no ventilation B. very dimly lit C. No mirror to get ready 4. Although room details mentions bathroom, they are all common. 5. All showers are in basement and half of them are out of order. 6. Toilets don't have paper towels. Only an unhygienic cloth towel. 7. Showers don't have hooks to hang clothes or shelves to keep toiletries. Also, there is no shower gel or shampoo. 8. Stoves are switched off after 10 pm so you can't cook after that. 9. You have to remove shoes outside but they don't provide you bathroom slippers to wear on property. 10. Lastly, the luggage room is in basement which has narrow circular staircase and heavy doors making it dangerous to move luggage.

Det bästa hostel jag varit på hittills. Gratis bastu, gratis matartiklar, 10+ toaletter, 4st imac med tillgång till internet, tysta rum. Våningssängen jag sov i var dock hemsk knarrande.

立地がとてもよく中央駅からも徒歩10分。 シャワーも温度調整ができて綺麗。 ただ、玄関口から靴を脱いで部屋に入るので、靴下が汚れます。

Sauna was an amazing perk!

The rooms were great, loved the variety of showers, sinks, and toilet rooms. Great socializing room downstairs made it easy to make friends

Konum mükemmel, kolay giriş, ortak kullanım alanları temiz. Fakat havalandırma açılınca üşüdük.

Delightful hostel with friendly staff- clean rooms, nice common area- walking distance to central station, near bus route and shopping areas. Reception opens at 9 am in case you arrive as we did on an early train - so just had to chill a bit. Lots of friendly guests - would stay there again

Ambiente muy juvenil, limpio y ameno

I can't really find the right words at the moment. I have been travelling and staying in hostels around the world for over 15 years. I have never experienced negative and sarcasm from any hostel front of house reception staff before. I don't fully understand why this hostel gets such good ratings and reviews. There are only a couple of good things that I can say. Its walking distance from the train station and old town and the cleaning staff are friendly and are trying there best to keep an old run down building clean. The hostel is a maze of corridors and levels. The hostel gives you a map of the hostel which is useless. Its the hardest place to navigate through. You have to feel sorry for the guests who are stuck in the rooms located in the basement. There is no natural light or fresh air. The hostel has so many heavy doors which requires you to enter a different access code for most of them. It seems to be a complete waste of time. I don't understand the heavy security. The bathrooms and toilets could do with an upgrade. Overall its a disappointing place of accommodation to stay when visiting Sweden. I did meet some very friendly and switched on travelers staying there which made me feel like staying for the 2 nights that I'd paid for. Otherwise I probably would have left the hostel early. The hostel definitely needs a heavier local Swedish staff presence. Stay around the corner at the Generator hostel.

The hostel was clean, safe, and in a very convenient location for both walking and public transportation. My biggest complaint was that the check in process could have been smoother. I personally didn’t have issues, but one of my roommates checked in at 10pm and didn’t have linens. By the time he was able get in touch with staff & get linens, it was 11:30pm and him trying to put his sheets on his bed was a big disturbance to everyone in the room. Many people who checked in at night were confused and had trouble finding things. Another one of my roommates checked in during the day, was explicitly told to come to that particular room and was given an access code for that room, and had settled in for a few hours before a staff member abruptly came in and asked if everyone there was in the right room. They realized they had assigned her to the wrong room, and made her collect all her things and move to a different room. The staff told her “It happens so no worries. It’s not your fault” as if she had done something wrong, and didn’t bother apologizing at all for the mistake he clearly made or for the disturbance it caused her. My roommate was too nice to complain but I was pretty displeased by the service. Last thing I would say is that it’s not a quiet place. Things are noisy on the street and within the hostel. The walls were VERY thin. Didn’t bother me much but it certainly bothered some other people there.

Clean and friendly

Något som störde inne i sovsalen var att dörren till toalett och dusch störde pga att den gnisslade... Så den behöver smörjas.. annars var allt ok.. Tror det var rum Sandhamn.

Not much privacy no curtains but good lockers and too many passcodes just to go to your room

Vi bodde i en lägenhet som hade allt vi behövde. Läget är väldigt bra med gångavstånd till centralen och city. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal.

Sehr freundliches Personal und sehr angenehme Mitbewohner:innen

zu späte Öffnungszeiten der Rezeption morgens

駅から近くアクセスがしやすかったです。 防犯もしっかりしていて、扉にはナンバー付きの施錠がありました。 パスワードの紙を渡されどのナンバーかわからずにいたらスタッフの人も親切に施設内の説明してくださいました。

The hostel suits for 20-30 years old. The foods desappeared from frigo. Some kind of descrimination of older travellers. No respect for silence at late evening and night.

Det bästa hostel jag varit på hittills. Gratis bastu, gratis matartiklar, 10+ toaletter, 4st imac med tillgång till internet, tysta rum. Våningssängen jag sov i var dock hemsk knarrande.
