City Sleep hostel and hostels in Lulea

The hostel was very poorly maintained and quite dirty (coffee stains on the walls, showerheads covered in grime, sinks full of hair). The blankets had a lot of hair on them, and in the double beds, they were too short. The mattresses and pillows were quite uncomfortable, and the power outlets were far from the bed. The only positive aspect is the location, right in the city center. However, the worst part was the kitchen—completely unusable due to a constant bad smell, day and night. The furniture was damaged, the pans were in bad shape, the fridges had mold, and the range hoods were placed just 50 cm above the stove.

Very very very good hostel! Prices are low, the rooms are very clean, modern and visually nice. Placement of the hostel is perfect, close to everything. The service is exemplary! Never had this good service at an hostel! Strongly recommend!

Disaster, worst hostel I've ever been. Filled with drunk screaming men who smoked indoors. No staff onsite and the staff we called did nothing. Rooms were cramped and stuffy, bathrooms stank and were filthy. Avoid at all costs

Barely qualifies as a hostel or anything hote-related. After not being welcomed by someone at the reception, you make your own bed in a windowless room with a folding table (but no chairs). The bathrooms are quite clean. The bright cold light from the common parts and the constant noise of people going in and out of their rooms enters the room by a crack under the door. It seems like you are even supposed to become a night keeper : a weird guy spent most of the night in the common rooms making noise. You are obviously also expected to unmake the bed when leaving. The location is good and the coffee is free, but please just go somewhere else for10-15% more

Very hot in the super tiny room, especially in the bunk bed! Very bad that it’s impossible to regulate the temperature- and you are stuck with limited ventilation in a room without windows. This is a design disaster and a cost saving failure. People had the door open to chill the room. There is a crack under the door, so light and noise is not stopped from outside your room Doors closing were noisy so you hear people going in/out. There is no dimmed light in the common hall at night time - it’s super bright. I have a feeling that a lot of food and things are left in the kitchen cabinets and fridges by people. Frying pans are dirty or scratched. Yes, this is a place depending on people’s cooperation- but they earn enough to make sure that a minimum standard is kept… and they don’t! Pay an extra 15% and stay in the city hotels!

The kitchen is dated, dirty and grotty. I made a cup of tea upon arrival and felt the kitchen and its utensils were unclean. I was totally put off my tea by the state of the kitchen.||We were asked to make our beds ourselves with bedsheets left folded. And thank god we were, because as we made our beds we found a stale chip in one bed and a beetle bug in the other.||There is no physical staff on site which makes it very difficult to resolve any matters quickly. I called a number through bookings and was put through to a third party outsourced company as it was late (10pm). They offered us a different room which we accepted on the condition we would inspect the beds before fully accepting. While the operator was on the phone we inspected the beds of the second room only to find a leech type worm in the bed. ||The only solution they could offer was a third bed but at this point we were not happy to stay here at all. So we took all our things and walked into the -40°C night to find alternative accommodation.||This place is unclean, I do not recommend staying here at all.

Good location but that's about it. Not really worth the price. For just 200-300 kr more you can book a room in a really nice hotel with windows and your own bathroom unlike this place. I'm sure some people enjoy staying there, it just wasn't for me.

Stayed here with my husband for three nights. Typically Scandinavian in design. It's a hostel so amenities are basic - you make your own bed, code entry for main door and room door, shared bathrooms. But as long as you understand that you will have a perfectly enjoyable stay like we had. The whole place is very clean. Rooms are compact but comfortable, and very well soundproofed. Well stocked kitchen and vending machine for drinks and snacks. Free coffee and tea is a lovely touch. Ideal location in the centre of Lulea. Decent value for money (nothing is cheap in Sweden!). Would happily stay here again.
