Birka Hotel

The hotel can be reach from CityTerminalen or Bus Central Station. Very good breakfast with lots of options.

I truly wanted to give this hotel a glowing review—there were definitely some high points. The location was absolutely fantastic, and the complimentary breakfast exceeded expectations in both quality and variety. However, the room itself left much to be desired. We were aware at the time of booking that the room did not have a window, and we were prepared for that. What we didn’t anticipate was the complete lack of ventilation. There was no airflow at all, which made the room feel stuffy and uncomfortable. While we were inside during the day, we found ourselves having to prop the door open just to get some circulation. Of course, this wasn’t an option at night, when we needed to close the door for safety and privacy. Unfortunately, that meant sleeping in a poorly ventilated, stagnant room—even though the outdoor temperature was a pleasant 70°F. If you're considering staying here, be sure to double-check whether your room has a window or at least adequate ventilation. It made a big difference in our overall comfort and enjoyment of the stay.

Great spot close to trendy areas

Location was good, reasonably good value for money. Single rooms however are very small. Breakfast very good!

Good location Excellent breakfast Clean Nice staff

Very good hotel for a short city break - great location for concerts at Nalen and right by the underground station (2 stops east tide to old town). 10 mins walk from train station. I used the key code for late entry no problem. Excellent breakfast. Great staff. Small rooms for the price, but that’s Stockholm for you.

Good location, enjoyed my stay. Room comfortable and quiet. Breakfast got a bit repetitive.

The hotel is centrally locatedThe room is tiny but very clean, nice staff. The included breakfast is great

Comfortable beds! A bit noisy. Breakfast had some issues (no fruit, juices or lettuce, dry scrambled eggs), but had a lot of perks too. Good value altogether!!

Simple, clean rooms

Nice room, excellent location, comfy bed and a great shower

Room was cold and dark. Also any vegan options were not provided for breakfast even if specifically asked.

perfect location, cozy facility, friendly staff, valuable complimentary breakfast.

The room was very warm. Regardless of how low I set the thermostat, it wouldn’t go below 24 degrees (it felt hotter), and there was no fan. Very uncomfortable. Cramped, but I expected that.

Small rooms, even smaller toilet. Decent place for short stays.

Great location on quiet street

Very good budget hotel. Close to central station and stores. Friendly and pleasant receptionists. A mirror in the room would be a good investment for the hotel.

Great location. Very pleasant and polite members of staff. Room although a bit on the small side was nice and cosy. The room could do with some natural ventilation apart from A/C. Breakfast although quite basic was adequate enough to set you up for the day.

The room was average sized and clean. Love the twin duvets for the king beds. The bed itself was comfortable and the hotel was quiet although I didn’t get the sense there were many guests. Instant coffee was provided which was convenient. The bathroom was awful. Quite easily the worst bathroom facility I’ve ever come across in Europe. It felt like I was on a cruise ship where I could brush my teeth, use the toilet, and shower at the same time. The sink was tiny with really no shelf. The shower wasn’t the usual tub with a glass partition you find in Europe. It was a continuous part of the floor (no basin or lip whatsoever) with a drain in the floor and a curtain. Using the shower flooded the entire bathroom. There was nothing you could do except take as fast a shower as possible and once dry, use your bath towel to try and sop up the floor. There wasn’t an outlet in the bathroom and the only mirror was in the bathroom. You couldn’t really use a hair appliance. The breakfast (which was included when we booked) wasn’t very good - powered eggs, sausage, some sort of hash brown patty, plain crepe. The fresh fruit/vegetables and pastries were alright. I guess for the price it was all we could ask for; I mean we used it mostly for sleeping. However, the bathroom situation was a definite negative and I’d never stay here again.

The fact that I was on the main floor and every time someone flushed the toilet upstairs I could hear that at night. No issues with staff nor breakfast that was all great.
