About

City Lodge is for sure the MOST central hostel in Stockholm, just ONE block away (three minutes walk) from the Central railway and main bus station, where also all the airport connections depart and arrive to.

We are situated right in the very heart of Stockholm. This gives you access to all that our city has to offer while still having a peaceful place to stay.

This is a small and friendly hostel with 65 beds and common showers and toilets. There are washbasins in most of the rooms. Duvet and pillow are provided and you can bring your own linen/sleeping bag or rent from us.

We will pre-authorize and charge the full reservation amount to the guest’s card five days prior to arrival. For reservations made fewer than five days before arrival, we will charge the full reservation amount immediately at the time of booking. If a payment is declined or the card has insufficient funds, we will notify the guest by email and request updated payment information. If the issue is not resolved within 24 hours of notification, we reserve the right to cancel the reservation.

Tip: bring your slippers

All of our guests can take advantage of our free Wi-Fi . We also have cable TV in the dining room, a washing machine with tumble dryer (80 SEK/load), iron and ironing board, hairdryers, and lockable cabinets.

If you forget your padlock you can buy one from us, price 50 SEK.

Rent bedsheets for 70 SEK or towel for 30 SEK. We also have microwave and fridge free to use.

Ask at reception about our special stay-over package - for only 50 SEK.

If you arrive early in the morning you can use it before entering the room.
You can check-in at 23:59 and we are open 365 days a year. Please note that reception is closed after midnight so if you are arriving after that you will need to contact us in order to get the door code.

This is a non-smoking hostel with quiet hours around the clock. There is no curfew, so you party on the town and rest at the hostel! Our guests feel secure and are able to sleep without any noise during the night-time.

City Hall, Old Town and the main shopping streets are all just right here! In our immediate surroundings are local buses, the underground, the Arlanda Express, City Terminal, the central railway station, commuter trains and a car park.

We wish you a warm welcome!

Summary of traveller reviews

City Lodge Stockholm is unfortunately not recommended due to widespread reports of bedbugs, extreme dirtiness, and a pervasive bad smell. Many guests describe it as more of a homeless shelter than a hostel, with a concerning atmosphere and lack of security. The location is central, but this does not outweigh the severe issues.

DON'T STAY HERE!!!!!!! Truly a nightmare. Ended up leaving in the middle of the first night. I am disgusted how this place has not yet been closed by Swedish health authorities. There were bedbugs all over my bed, the rooms are underground with no proper ventilation, feels like you cannot breathe. Tons of creepy people. I haven't ever felt more unsafe as a solo female traveller.

The beds were not as advertised. Got bitten from bedbugs the first night. People working there were super sketchy, and they didn't answer the phone nor emails. 0/5 if possible. It also seemed like people were living in the 28 bedrooms. Cheap but totally not worth it.

We had to pay for sheets, they are NOT included. Not listed at all/poorly. Atmosphere sucked, the whole time it did not feel very safe, was not very cleanly, too many people packed in one room.

Hostelworld says

Hostelworld visitors often praise City Lodge Stockholm for its "brilliant central location, a five-minute walk to the central train/bus station". One of our guests said this hostel is ideal "if you have to take an early flight or if you are coming on a late-night train". Another user cited the quiet subterranean rooms of the hostel, recommending that "if you are looking for a good night's sleep, then choose City Lodge".
