City Lodge Hostel

Close to the central station

It looks like a cheap place to stay in stockholm, but if you see how extremely dirty this place is, its actually super expensive. The hostel is in the basement, so there are no windows in any rooms. They write, they have air-condition and quiet rooms. The air-condition is not working. It only blows warm, moldy-smelling air in the rooms. Its extremely hot in all rooms. Also the rooms are extremely loud. You can hear everything from the other rooms. It seems to be more a shelter for the local homeless-people. I saw Backpackers and tourists all leaving the place completely shocked, after the first night. The bathrooms and toilets are so very dirty, you can barely level them in european standards of hygiene. The rooms are not much cleaner. There is old furniture and mattrasses standing in every corner. If you booked it via booking.com you cannot cancel without paying the full price. Even if you call them, they will not let you cancel your booking. I think its basically a trap for people on booking, looking for a cheap hostel. It should not be on booking.com and you should not book a room there.

Nearest to T central Stockholm station

I lost my Diary Book and they didn't provide padlock for my locker. Toilet no clean....dirty sheet

location.

there was always men (maybe homeless people) in the main entrance leading to unsecure feeling to solo girl traveler. You have to pay for sheets and towel or to use the washing machine. Only one dirty shower for all females. the room is not clean, and everything is broken. Very dirty place and very noisy. Staff not polite at all.

The location was great, the staff was okay.

There are no windows in the room, but that's not the worst thing about this place, even though it looks nice from the outside. It's absolutely filthy, the bathrooms are a health hazard. It also feels extremely unsafe, especially for female travellers. Most of their "guests" seem to be living there, and all of them are male. They like to party, and they can be pretty loud at night. They're also watching the actual guests the whole time, and I've been told by another guest that someone tried to rob her during her stay. We showered there and then decided to spend the night outside, it felt safer than staying in this place. Stay away, unless you're travelling in a bigger group and intend to book the whole room. But even then, I'm sure there are better places to stay in Stockholm.

The location was ideal

Wifi only works in the lobby
