When we arrived we were given th option of a larger room overlooking the hotel entrance with a sofa & chair area which we took for only an extra £50 over 3 nights. The room was excellent and the bath/shower had constant hot water which was appreciated particularly when coming in from the cold late afternoon before going back out later. Buffet breakfast was one of the most comprehensive I have experienced when travelling, very good. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

This is by far one of the best hotels that I’ve ever stayed at. It was fun and unique, had an amazing and helpful staff and a wonderful breakfast. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and being an LGTBQ+ family, we felt like we were more than comfortable and welcomed.

Hotel is rather dated. It is a very busy tourist hotel so breakfast area is quite congested and noisy (although good selection of food provided). Good location in walking distance of train and coach station, shops and to city centre

Great urban hotel
We really enjoyed our stay here for 3 nights for a family of 5. The rooms had connected rooms as we requested and everything was smooth. Everyone at the reception and elsewhere were friendly and smiling.
Every morning my son and I rode on the hotel’a own bicycle ans that was a truly superb way to start the day.
Overall, everything was on walking distance and I definitely recommend this hotel for a Stockholm trip

The location is perfect for walking everywhere. The hotel itself is interesting because it seems to be made up of many other buildings joined together. Lots of nooks and crannies. The breakfast buffet is pretty amazing! The one negative thing is the shower glass wall doesn’t meet the floor so water runs out into the bathroom. A small flaw but irritating nonetheless. I would stay here again

The location is great…very walkable to Old Town.
The one frustration was the lack of parking. We were directed to Stockholm Parkering…which turned out to be a nightmare. I spent several hours trying to sort out how to use it…there are no attendants on site…they charged me …then credited the charge without explanation…then put a ticket on my door….it went on and on!

Always stay here when visiting Stockholm and this was my fifth trip there. Location is perfect - near Stockholm Central station and walking distance to other islands. Rooms are spacious, clean, staff are friendly and breakfast is always a highlight.
