City Backpackers is designed to be the ultimate meeting place, where you are guaranteed to meet fellow travellers from all over the world. This does not mean that our hostel always is jam-packed; it just means you will meet new friends.
We have a large fully equipped guest kitchen within the hostel and also a new, cozy backpacker café in-house with breakfast options and a great variety of cookies, snacks and hot and cold drinks all day long. When you want to relax there is a hot sauna, and lounge areas with satellite TV, daily newspapers and international magazines, and a book exchange. Every night is movie night when we show a popular Swedish film. We have quite a lot of common areas where you can hang out and meet other travellers. In the summer time our courtyard is furnished with comfy sofas where you can stretch out and watch the light blue Swedish summer night sky.
City Backpackers own staff arrange an awesome and incomparable Viking Sauna Tour to a lake outside Stockholm winter season. Summer season we go on bike picnics. Walking tours and bar rounds are also provided all year round.
We have an environmental-friendly approach. This includes among other: waste recycling, electricity from renewable sources, energy efficient white-wares and light bulbs, no smoking and an overall environmental policy. We love our planet and want to save it!

Location Information

City Backpackers hostel has the best possible location in the city centre - safe and quiet, although only a 500 meter walk from the central station and bus and airport shuttle terminal. Most of the Stockholm’s sights, including Gamla Stan, the medievel part of town, can be found within walking distance, and the main walking and shopping street, Drottninggatan, is just around the corner. Two blocks down you find the famous Ice bar, and uphill is a good location for a pub round if you want to meet locals.
