The Danhostel Copenhagen City is a hostel situated next to Langebro Bridge in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It is one of the largest European hostels,^[3] the biggest in a metropolitan area.^[1]

The building was originally called Hotel Europa. It was the first high-rise tower in Copenhagen and was originally intended to be coupled with a never-built tower on the other side of the bridge. It was the tallest building of Denmark from 1955 to 1958, when it was surpassed by the Falkoner Center.^[2] The building was later renovated and in 2004 was re-opened as a hostel.^[4]

Its interior furniture was designed by the Danish firm Gubi recalling with its colors Denmark's traditional housing style.^[3]

The hostel has 1020 beds in dormitories or smaller rooms.^[1] Its basement hosts kitchen facilities while in the ground floor is located an Internet café.^[5]

Two gangsters are having a conversation on the roof of what was then called Hotel Europa at 0:59:52 in the 1969 Olsen-banden film The Olsen Gang in a Fix.^[6]
