City Backpackers Hostel, Stockholm

City Backpackers Hostel – Review

Finding cheap accommodations in Scandinavia is hard, especially in big cities like Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen; this was the reason I decided to book a hostel in Stockholm.

The 19th-century building is conveniently located in front of a beautiful square, it is a ten-minute walk to the main bus terminal and a 15-minute walk to the city centre.

I arrived there early in the morning so I had to leave my luggage in a storage room and come back later to check-in. This first moment at the hostel I realized that this award-winning place was very organized.

They gave me two passcodes, one to enter the building, and another to access the luggage room.

They told me that I had to take off my shoes when I entered the building that allowed access to the rooms and also that the passcode changed daily.

The receptionist also suggested that I buy a coupon for breakfast during the check-in because it would be cheaper than to buy it later and this is what I did.

The staff was very helpful and I also used the hotel’s Skype to make free calls.

The price is a little higher than other hostels that I found in countries like Spain, Portugal and Italy. I paid around US$35.00/night.

There are computers with free Internet to use in the lobby and free Wi-Fi throughout the building.

There is also a great open space area with benches, tables, chairs and umbrellas for socializing and a café area where breakfast is served.

The paid breakfast includes a bowl with fruit, yoghurt, bagels or sandwiches and tea or coffee.

When I stay in hostels I always book shared rooms with no more than four beds.

My room at City Hostel Backpackers was a mixed dorm with two bunk beds of a decent size and also quiet and clean. To access the room a passcode is also required.

There are private and collective bathrooms, clothes washers and drying machines (I did my laundry there), a sauna and a huge kitchen with small fridges with the name of your room on it.

This hostel is a terrific option for anyone who wants to save money with accommodations in Stockholm, to get a good sleep and also to reach most of the attractions without using public transportation.

You can book your room at City Backpackers Hostel here.

Safe travels and have fun in Stockholm.
