City BackPackers Hostel in Stockholm, Sweden

The City Backpackers hostel was a perfetly decent place to stay. Not my favourite hostels of the many I've stayed in, but nothing wrong with it either. some staff were very friendly and helpful, others a bit more surly. There was a nice cafe in the lobby where you could get some affordable nourishment and the chance to socialise. The thing I liked least about the hostel was the policy of taking your shoes off as you enter, and leaving them in pigeonholes. I was walking around in my tights on a w

Thanks for all the feedback! I am so sorry to hear about your fall by the staircase - I do hope you didn't get hurt! Now I've put some anti slip tape there to avoid future injuries. Also I'm working on a private solution for those who feel that "the more the merrier" does not apply on shower situations! But it pains me that you were in constant fear of your shoes being stolen during your stay! You didn't have to leave them by the shoe reck you know, there are lockers in the dorms where you can keep them. Anyway, I trust you had a good time in Stockholm! Welcome back any time! Lena

You might consider replacing some of the matrasses. My was so worn out I could feeld the springs and even the frame of the bed. Apart from that I had a very good stay.

The hostel was very nice to stay at. The hostel has a nice hang-out place and kitchen where you can meet new people. The free pasta is a bonus! If you have the chance, you should certainly attend the guided bike tour. Only one comment: it would be nice to have a small seperate bathroom in the bigger rooms, where you can change clothes. But overall it was a great hostel to stay at!

Hej Katrijn, thanks for the feed back! Good idea with a dressing room, I will keep it in mind! Kindly Lena

Exactly what we were looking for! Thomas, from England ~ 14th Sep 2009

I arrived late because of the ryanair flight being delayed, i was locked not very impressed, thankyou very much Emilio, from Australia ~ 19th Aug 2009

Kitchen is big with good supply of utensils and free (uncooked) pasta. My dorm room was basement level and felt like something between a bomb shelter and a bunker. No window, no air circulation, very poor air, very ugly. The beds were crammed into this small room with no space for luggage. Cassandra, from USA ~ 15th Sep 2009

I certainly would stay there again. Having to bring your own bed linen (or you could rent one there) might seem to be a minus, but I prefer using my own anyway. Excellent location. There is a kitchen where you can keep and cook your food, which makes the place even more preferable. Yusuf, from Turkey ~ 11th Aug 2009
