City Backpackers in Stockholm has made my trip to Stockholm even more magical in 2017. It was an amazingly chill hostel, located in an almost mostly residential, local-infused area. When I was staying there I was thinking “I’d prefer this to a fancy hotel even if I had the chance”. Some Stockholm locals were even coming for the breakfast deal.

Perhaps too popular now, so people are willing to pay the inflated prices.

I love staying at Hostels. This will give me some great options while traveling. When I was in Mirissa, Sri Lanka I stayed at an incredible hostel called JJ’s Hostel. If you are ever down there check it out.

I thought I stayed at the best hostel in Europe at St. Christopher’s Village(London), and then I went to Barcelona and stayed at Kabul and realized THAT was the best hostel in Europe.

It was when I was traveling around in the late ’90s. I know I definitely stayed at Kabul and I think I stayed at The Flying Pig (if it’s walking distance from the train station…Amsterdam was a bit of a blur…LOL).

I’d love to go back and see what they’re like now. I was only planning to stay in Barcelona for a day but it was so much fun and I met such cool people in the hostel that I stayed for a week. Thanks for bringing back some fun memories!!!

Agree with Aaron though, Rockin J’s was by far the worst place i stayed at in all of central america. Incredibly dirty (lice everywhere, the hamaks reek of piss), rude staff, and waaaaay overpriced. Ok its fun and good for partying but i recommend staying somewhere else in puerto viejo and just go there for the nightlife. Also agree with Cal – most hostels I stayed at in new zealand were great, but the most amazing places i spent the night in new zealand was on campsites.

Amsterdam – I love Flying Pig hostels, especially the beach one, but Lucky Lake Hostel has them beat. Fab place.

Porto – Excentric Surf Hostel, but it’s only got a few rooms so best if you’re travelling as a group.

Lisbon – Living Lounge Hostel is incredible.
