This hostel is set in a 19th-century building, 500 metres from Stockholm Central Station and 5 minutes’ walk from Drottninggatan shopping street. WiFi internet, evening sauna and pasta are free. Ice skates can be borrowed for free during winter.

All rooms at City Backpackers Hostel have air conditioning and heating. Lockers are available and padlocks can be bought in the reception.

I did an Interrail trip across 6 countries, and this was by far the best hostel I stayed in. There is a common kitchen all guests can use, and the hostel provides the guests with free pasta (as well as free tea or coffee after 11 AM). Moreover, there are also many activities the guests can try out, the hostel is equipped with a sauna, and I was able to rent ice-skates for free. The staff was very friendly, and so were the other guests.

Featuring a shared lounge, the 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The property is 2.3 km from Vasa Museum, and within 2.3 km of the city centre.

I was blown away at the aesthetic and cleanliness of the property! Definitely exceed my hostel expectations and I most especially loved the social vibe that created in the common room (where there is free tea, coffee and snacks) as we conversed with Marko and Gena. They honestly care and are so passionate about maintaining good hospitable relations with their guests. The rooms are accessed via your phone which made check-in seamless and convenient, Also very convenient with the 1 minute walk to the bus stop. Would definitely come back again if I ever return to Stockholm!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I think that was the best hostel that I've stayed in the Stockholm in terms of facilities - you have very comfy beds and curtains next to each bed. The manager is super friendly and makes everything to help you. But stop is in 50 meters from the entrance. No keys - entrance is via the mobile app, love it!

    A very nice hotel/hostel. We opted for a double room with a shared bathroom. The room itself was quite spacious, and relatively comfortable. There were 4 shared bathrooms on my floor, each with a shower and a toilet and sink, and were lockable. We always found the bathrooms clean and never had to stay waiting in a queue. The location is great in Gamla Stan! Overall it's a very bang for your buck accommodation and great for a cheap short stay in Stockholm!

    I like everything in the hostel. This hostel is one of my top 3 best hostels for now. Excellent location - only 6 minutes walk from the train station. The cozy environment especially the reception first-floor seating area is so cute with the Christmas decor. It's a big room and the bed is comfy. Friendly and helpful staff. Everything is perfect!

    Stayed here three times already. Great location, friendly and helpful stuff, cheap price. Beds are comfy, rooms clean enough, there's also a kitchen with a lot of available stuff for cooking, it's nice. The feeling when you drop off from the hostel right to the streets of the old town is amazing.
