Advantages: central, loads of freebies, friendly
Disadvantages: none

City Backpackers is rated as one of the best hostels in Europe and I fully agree! I arrived on the ferry and walked the 2 miles from the dock, so by the time I arrived, I was exhausted. Luckily for me, the hostel was the perfect environment to just 'flop'. Downstairs, there were two common rooms, one with a huge TV, a million channels, plenty of dining tables and the comfiest sofas, and the second with free hot drinks, more tables and about 8 computers ...
...was a small shared kitchen, a laundry room with room for stored baggage (accessible to any guest, but lockers could also be hired) as well as the usual books, tourist info, maps etc. In the kitchen there was a huge tub of free pasta - a brilliant idea and not one I have seen elsewhere!

Superior rooms tend to be located on the ... Read review

Advantages: Convenient location - between Sodermalm and Gamla Stan
Disadvantages: There are two boats - you might not stay on red boat

I stayed here for 3 nights in early April. I booked this hotel because it is highly recommended by another review website and I got attracted to the pictures on the red boat's website. I booked directly with the hotel and the rate was 230SEK per night per person. This is about £18 per person. I was on a budget and Stockholm is an expensive city, so I booked a triple-bed cabin without shower and washbasin. How to get there: We landed at Stockholm ...
