This place earns my title of 'coolest hostel' because of its sauna; however the staff were very friendly and the hostel was very clean. The location was very good. The breakfast was good value too. More

We arrive in the afternoon so we got our room quickly. It was the 12th persons room mixed, but there were only 4 people,so didn't feel packed, plus the room was big enough. With one large mirror (for ladies its a yay!) and feel very private. The bed got a mini lamp night. You have to put a code access(the... More

Stayed at City Backpackers for 2 nights in January. Very clean, well run hostel. Checkin was very easy, and my room was very clean. Had to rent sheets, but thats not too big of a deal. The kitchen (with free pasta) was pretty well run, though it ended up being a little bit crowded when we tried to make dinner.... More

Stayed in 12-bed dorm for 3 nights. The dorm was 2 adjoined and open rooms, one with 8 beds (i.e. 4 bunks) and the other with 4 beds (i.e. 2 bunks). I slept in the smaller room, which was further from the door and window, so probably a bit quieter, but it was much less spacious than the other part... More

I arrived the Hostel at 1:30 and everything was organised for me, very easy to do the check-in by myself. Good location (5 minutes from the Central Station) and nice atmosphere. They offer free pasta, free sauna, free internet, free equipments if you want to go ice-skating for example. Staff friendly and supportive. Stockholm under the snow was beautiful!!! More

I kind of like Ceylon myself, especially the carpets! I wanted to get them for all of our dorms, but no such luck - they don't sell them anymore. Glad you enjoyed your stay here, and thank you for the kind review! Cheers, Lena More

City Backpackers is a great hostel right in the centre of Stockholm, an easy walk from Central Station and even closer to the Arlanda Express. Upgraded us to an ensuite room that was like a 6 bed apartment...fantastic. Fantastic service and comfy beds. More

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you felt tucked in safely from the cold! The sauna is great after walking around Stockholm in the winter, I totally agree. But you should have joined me for The Viking Sauna Tour - that's when it gets really awesome! Kindly Lena More
