This is my second stay here at this hostel. I loved it the first time I stayed and now I couldn't miss the chance of staying here again when I was back in Stockholm. It was exceptional again, everything is great, smooth, clean, and good value for money.
HungaryStaff is awesome! It feels to be in family and every night is cool there, plenty of backpackers around the world. Perfect Location and very comfortable rooms.
ItalyI stayed here during New Year's Eve with four other people. We booked a private apartment for a cheap price. The location is in a quiet place near the center of Stockholm.
ItalyThe place is very well decorated and the safety level is very insuring. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. Definitely worth the price!
FranceIf you like board games, the selection here is insane! So many fridges, and they are quite clean, also kitchen is sorted, which is quite rare in big hostels. FREE SAUNA Nice big common areas.
SlovakiaEverything was perfect, the general atmosphere, the organization of the hostel, and everything was clean and the facilities were excellent. Also the people working in the hostel, especially Gohar, they were so friendly and made me feel like at home. For sure when I next visit Stockholm City Backpackers will be my first choice.
