Not a 4 star hotel.
- Terrible towels.
- Rooms only cleaned on request before 11pm the day before for “sustainability”
- poor breakfast
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
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!
I stayed in superior double room. It is quite small and the arrangement of the room was not I expected for a 22sqm room. Little window for natural light.
Gym is like a box room, only 2 treadmills 1 bench and pulldown machine it feels very tight, no windows either. sauna is inside the changing room.
Disappointed with hotel assistance as when you leave your luggage in the hotel they will just point you to a room where you store you luggage yourself, this feels somehow unsafe as guests have access to the luggage room with all people’s stuff inside.
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 staff was very friendly and I really appreciated how conveniently located the hotel is in the city. Almost everything I wanted to do was either a 20 minute walk or 15 minute bus/train ride away.
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
