The location is within walking distance from city center and provides running water. This is the best I can say about a place I felt deeply uncomfortable in. Staff is non-existent and you have to make up the bed yourself. Caution: no towels included.
It was beyond my expectation. The sheets were clean and bathrooms were very clean. Staff wasn't available all the time but when they were there they were very helpful. If you bring your lock for the lockers in the room make sure you bring a thinner lock because a standard us master lock wasn't working with their locker system.
Not family friendly. No staff on site! No oversight! It’s on you to report and turn anyone in for rule violations! Good luck with that especially the ones you turn in staying at the same place! They’ll certainly appreciate you for that! Any complaints will be addressed with a nice apology!

Disliked: Cleanliness
This was one of the dirtiest hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Although the staff did clean the bathrooms daily, by the evening, they were not in good shape. My husband stated that the men’s bathroom was one of the grossest he’d ever experienced.
However, it was nice to be close to public transit and the grocery store.
Ambiente comune confortevole e sempre pulito. Camere piccole con letti a castello abbastanza comodi ma essendo un seminterrato non ci sono finestre ma un circuito di areazione perfettamente funzionante. Non adatto a chi soffre quindi di claustrofobia ma ottimo appoggio per chi vuole economizzare la sua vacanza di 2 o 3 notti (non oltre)
APPALLING SERVICE
Made an advance booking and added a note that I'm terribly scared of heights so would appreciate a bottom bunk bed. When checking in around 9am they advised they would not be able to honour the request. They gave me the key but the room was not ready until 12 and they asked me to store luggage in a separate facility. I have asked if they could approve cancellation and refund in that case and they said that they would but I need to contact the booking platform to get this through. I then was hanging on hold trying to get through to an agent who spent ages trying to get through to them and he then advised that it will take up to 4 days to complete the refund approval process and refund my money but also reassured me that since hotel verbally confirmed they would be happy to do so, I have nothing to worry about. That would about 11am (official check out deadline) so I returned to the hostel to hand in my key. The same lady at the counter then advised me that they will not approve my refund request because it's too late and 'i already took the key'
I do appreciate that it was a late cancellation and that they cannot guarantee if I get upper or bottom bed (although at this point I'm certain they haven't even tried to accommodate my request). What I do not appreciate is being lied to which led me to waste 2h of my short trip to Stockholm trying to change my booking.
Also, reception staffed only a few hours a day - no way to get a towel when checking in the eve
Bra:
Härliga sängar.
Mycket bra kök!
Bra service: jag kunde komma in och få rumsnyckeln efter stängning! Och jag fick hjälp att komma in i mitt rum efter att sonen låst in nycklarna, trots att det var efter att receptionen stängt.
Det var mycket tyst på natten, trots det centrala läget!
Brister:
Ingen frys i köket
Lite för varmt i rummet
Lite för het dusch
Jag hade en kort vistelse i Stockholm och valde City Hostel för sitt läge nära tågstationen, samt att det skulle vara välutrustat kök och snabbt internet.
Allt stämde.
This hostel was nice kind of hard to find at first but overall it was a pretty good experience. The beds are very loud and noisy so watch out for that but they were clean and somewhat comfortable. The bathrooms and showers were nice and big and non mixed.
