Hellstens Malmgård

We originally wanted to stay closer to the central station, as we had spent a few days in Gothenburg and had taken the train to Stockholm (highly recommended).However, because the Swedish transport system is cheap, very clean and convenient we decided to stay slightly further out. We decided against the sister hotel (Glashus) as it looked a little too modern and came across the Malmgård, a nice little hotel with an interesting history, in a quiet neighbourhood. Friendly staff. Reception were chatty and very helpful with information and even offered the use of a microwave for our semi-cold takeaway dinner. Housekeeping were great. Nice clean room, bedding and bathroom. Lovely buffet breakfast, although best to turn up early or late for breakfast as the dining room is packed at peak times. The staff were always around, making sure coffee and breakfast items were topped up. Our room was small (standard double) but perfectly fine for a four night stay. There are a few areas in the hotel where you can sit and have a free coffee / tea etc. which was great after a day exploring. Walkable to Gamla Stan although bus and metro stops are at the bottom of the road (direct to central terminus). Plenty of restaurants within a 10 minute walk in the main street (Hornsgaten), and beware the local vintage / second hand shops...too many and not enough time ;-) Will we stay here again on our next trip. Definitely!

It exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay here again when we are back in Stockholm. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the breakfast had many choices and was delicious. Thanks for a great stay!

Great staff and location. I was blown away by the breakfast. It was well beyond “continental!”
