“Busy and friendly, great fun, and a mix of nationalities”

City BackPackers Hostel

Great time - three of us stayed in a four bed room (with one other) - reasonable size.

Facilities excellent - free sauna for one hour for each sex (5-6 and 6-7) - available at other times for c25 kronors (I think).

They organise a superb trip to a lake and sauna - the viking spa experience. This is not to be missed. It was the highlight of my trip. The organisor is a charming lady. Left me completely buzzing and invigorated. Cost 150 Kronors for the morning. Great chance to interact with the locals too.

Superb location close to the centre and all central stockholm locations.

Warm rooms, hot showers. Very Clean.

Also Games/TV room with minature table tennis table - great fun.

“Very Cosy and Close to Everything!”

What a great friendly little place and very reasonably priced. All receptionists very helpful and efficient. Nice and secure, free wifi and hot showers!! My only complaint was the bed and pillow were a bit lumpy but I enjoyed my stay very much and will be back.

Very central location in Norrmalm, best area of Stockholm. 5minutes walk to the pedestrian area and the beautiful centre!! ... and 15minutes walk to the Old Town Excellent Location! would not recommend car hire as car parking is a problem in the area and costs. though a car is not needed due that it is 10minutes walk to central station.

“Clean and comfortable”

City BackPackers Hostel

1/1 found this review helpful

The hostel has a good location about 8 minutes walk from the central station. It is massive and clean.

The no shoes policy is sensible and must make life easier for the cleaners.

It is compulsory to buy sheets so factor that in to the cost of your stay (50 kroners).

This hostel is warm, clean and has three internet terminals and a large communal area. Didnt try the sauna.

It isnt the best hostel i have stayed in but it was above average !!
