Great hotel lovely staff
Tina Conaber, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel enjoys a fantastic location near the metro station, making it easy to get around. While the rooms are relatively small and on the pricier side, the exceptionally friendly staff and outstanding breakfast more than make up for it.

Lee, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A beautiful and comfortable old hotel with a fantastic breakfast located near shopping and restaurants and within walking distance of museums and the Royal Palace.
Doug, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was my second stay at the Gamla Stan Scandic. My stay last year was perfect so why not try it again. I love this hotel. The staff is friendly, accommodating and very helpful. The rooms are small but totally adequate. There’s a great sitting area on the roof. Breakfast has everything you could want and more and the location is within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go.
Linda, 2-night trip

The receptionist was incredibly helpful to us. Our flight had been delayed and she was very instrumental with getting us transportation to the airport and very accommodating when we found out that our flight was delayed.

Joachim, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

It is a small hotel with small rooms and I feel the rates are on the higher side. I stayed in bigger and better hotels with that daily rate.
JAIDEEP, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything perfect. Allowed very early check in. Room was excellent, clean and comfy bed. Staff was helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Breakfast was buffet style and so much to choose from. Made start of each of our five days so enjoyable. Nothing bad to say.
Michael, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A boutique feel in a Scandic property right in the heart of Gamla Stan. Excellent location close to everything and very close to a metro station.
Evan, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Walking distance to the Royal palace. Restaurants all around. It is right next to the sea. There may be some rooms facing the sea but ours was not. The staff was very friendly and gave us helpful tips because it was our first time visiting the city. Minor issues: It has a tiny lobby and there are some steps going up to the hotel.
JIE, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff & breakfast were excellent
Michael David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location if you want to explore the old town. Conveniently located to metro and not far from ferry transportation as well.
David, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our room was very clean and comfortable. We were very appreciative that our request, made just that morning, to have a room on a lower floor because of recent medical issues, was honored. The receptionist also tägave us great advice about where to get an excellent traditional Swedish dinner.
