My family came to visit me in Sweden, and we spent one night in Stockholm at this hotel. It was a wonderful experience. We arrived early, and were able to store our bags as well as get an upgrade because of a reservation error that was completely my fault. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable about tourist destinations. The room... More

A very good hotel with the perfect starting point to explore Stockholm. The rooms are very comfortable, smallish but to be expected in an historic location. It's a good idea to have breakfast included in your stay, the buffet is brilliant and very generous. The staff were friendly and efficient. No in-room safe (for the travel wary) but fairly secure....

Spent two nights in April there, superior double room with sea view (or something like that). Room was spacious, clean, big bathroom. There was no mini bar and no bottled water. I was too tired to check room service. Guys at reception were good, but i don't have anything good to say for staff on breakfast. They have some "checkpoint"... More

I almost did not make it to this hotel since I had a bad experience at the previous sister hotel in Copenhagen (Sky Petri) I'm glad that I didn't change the reservation. They didn't know but, i had already coming in a bad mood and expecting the worst. When we arrive, we were disecting every single detail, a fact (its... More

Located in the old town with frontage to the river and walking distance to many museums and sites. Reasonable size rooms, good buffet breakfast with a wide range of variety and great customer service. We visited Stockholm for a weekend trip during their Cultural weekend (all museums, palaces, churches and galleries are free to the public on Saturday night until... More

The location can't be beat. This hotel in a great part of town and all of Stockholm is within walking distance. Gamla Stan is a little disappointing in that almost every shop sells touristy junk. But this part of town is just beautiful and very photogenic so it is not to be missed. Just don't go there for the shopping.... More

We had a nice stay for a short weekend break. The positive first......Great location near to Gamle Stan and many restaurants, easy walking distance to town. Generally the hotel is good. The bar is efficient if a bit lacking in atmosphere, the staff are good but well trained rather than friendly and a good feature is that one needs a... More

Chose this Hotel for its location, we wanted to Stay on Gamla Stan as it was close to the office of some business colleagues that we were visiting. It turned out also in a good location for visiting the local sites and attractions. The hotel itself is not untypical of many Stockholm hotels being sparsely decorated and furnished and getting...
