Stockholm City Reviews

Stockholm is a beautiful city. We were blessed with lovely weather (May) and most of our activities were child orientated. Don't miss SKansa - and spend the day there, we went too late and were disappointed. Junibacken is also brilliant for kids. The Hostel was scrupulously clean all the time - we were sharing toilet and shower facilities and they were never dirty. Though I found the atmosphere here a little like a hotel - not really a meeting spot for travellers. The kitchen was huge. Immaculate and well stocked. Also, you could rent a fridge of your own for about €2. Really good.

  • Insider tip:Get the Stockholm card. It made using transport really easy as well as the free entry to most venues. Great place to visit - but bring plenty money, I paid €7.50 for a glass of wine in one place!!

Stockholm, only 2 days but WOW!

This Hostel is seriously great! We staye d in the 14 bed mixed dorm and the room was so tidy and kept clean all the visit, even though we were there only 2 nights! You meet some nice people in the hostel and the personnel is really polight and helpful. Absolutely recommend this one!

  • Insider tip:Viper Room! Its very close to the hotel, its on the same street (st. eriksgatan), like 7 minutes walking from the hotel. very nice club!

Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities that i've ever been!

Don't miss Gamla Stan, Djurgarden, Absolut Ice Bar and the sunset near water!! Don't be intimidate by the swedish people. They don't know how to party without becoming drunk!

  • Insider tip:Buy a transport ticket for 3 or more days, depending of how much time you be there! The single tickets are too expensive!!! Or, if you prefer, take good and confortable shoes and walk!!!

Go there...

Liked the city, most of my stay I had blue skies and lots of sun. Old part of the city is amazing, and the museums are top notch.
