City BackPackers Hostel Reviews

PERFECT! PERFECT! and PERFECT! Free pasta, free sauna, free iceskating. Excellent location, staffs, and bed linens and towels for hire.

Such a lovely place to stay. Everything you need and more. That rare combination of a vibrant atmosphere and good clean facilities. And in the centre of town.

The hostel was really nice and I would stay there again. My camera was stolen but it wasn't the hostel's fault. It was really nice that they have a sauna there and free pasta! I can understand the shoes off -thing but it wasn't that handy. The computers in the common area were really good. The price was ok for Stockholm.

This was my 7th time to Stockholm and this is easily the best hostel in town. A stones throw away from the central station so even if you are rocking a big backpack, a very manageable walk. Also close to shops if you are wanting to show off your masterchef skills in the very modern kitchen and close to an array of bars and nightclubs if you are wanting to add a Swedish flag to your list. Beds are so comfortable, its as if you are receiving a warm hug from god upon contact. Free sauna too.

I have to agree with the other comments that this is one of the best hostels I've stayed in so far. The staff obviously make a serious effort to make it welcoming. Other hostels should pay attention. Excellent!

Great hostel with great staff: definitely the place to be in Stockholm!

My stay with City Backpackers was excellent! From the staff to the location, my stay was fantastic. The location is close to all the main city attractions and also the central bus and train station. Great hostel to stay in for the money. The walking tour was a great deal and the guide really knows about everything there is to know about Stockholm. The city itself is very expensive so the hostel rate is not bad at all if you put it into context.

Great stay. Great staff and location. With these places you are always at the mercy of the character of the fellow guests, fortunately this place seemed to attract the right kind of crowd, and any nonsence was soon snuffed out and dealt with. My thanks to Michael, the night staff guy, for making a slow & quiet Saturday night/Sunday morning a bit more entertaining. Thanks for the snacks dude! Dan W (Bournemouth, UK)

Great experience - stayed in mixed dorm, had fun and respectful dorm-mates and the room was clean. Plenty of socializing if you want it, but perfectly fine to come and go as well. I'd imagine some of the rooms aren't so great for a quiet night's sleep as they sit right on common areas with loads of people. Mine was great though! Location is super, close to Stockholm C and plenty of shopping and restaurants.

5 star hostel.

It was very welcoming, cozy, warm...The staff was nice and kind. Everything was great! :)

Make sure not to book a room in basement. Because the majority of rooms are in basement without any daylight or windows. The staff is average but not extremely friendly. The Facilites are well-thought, moreover that you are not allowed to join the hostel with shoes impressed me much. All in all stayable, but avoid rooms in basement because this is really depressing.

I loved this hostel. I wish I could take that bed with me home, it was so soft and warm. The sauna was great and the place has such great character, not to mention that the staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Thanks so much!

Amazing hostel! This place manages to have it all. Cleanliness, security, amazing facilities and character. Great place to meet solo travellers, excellent walking tour led by the charming and quick-witted Lena. I would seriously recommend this place to anyone staying in Stockholm, and I will most definitely be back to experience the city in the warmer months.

This was our last destination on our weekend trips and it was quite refreshing to walk into this hostel. It was extremely clean and had a warm atmosphere. the decorations are adorable and the rooms were very large with extra comfy beds. we stayed in an 8 person female dorm that included 3 showers in the room. having the showers in the room was very nice. the others guests were very considerate of our early bed times... we were tired from trekking all over stockholm. the area was great.

It was good
