No low-season!

City BackPackers is designed to be the ultimate meeting place where you are guaranteed to meet and hang out with other travelers from all over the world if you wish so. We never have less than 50 travelers staying with us on any single day of the year. This does not mean that our hostel always is jam-packed with people though.

You can stay in a room with 2, 4, 6, 8, 11 or 12 beds (please note that 2-bedded rooms can normally only be booked directly through the hostel). Female dorms are provided. We also have two apartments/studios for up to 6 people with private bathroom, shower and kitchen.

Note: Sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers are a must-have and in case you do not bring your own, you will have to rent them for 50 SEK. If you bring a sleeping bag, you will need to rent a sheet and a pillow case for 25 SEK or - of course - bring your own.

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 light meals, sandwiches, cookies, snacks and hot/cold drinks all day long! When you want to relax there is a hot sauna and lounge areas with satellite TV, daily newspapers and mini table tennis available. We have quite a lot common areas to hang out and meet other travelers. Every night is movie night when we show a popular Swedish film.

We offer a very popular and incomparable sauna tour by the sea October-April! Other tours are also provided all year round.
