The location is amazing. Right on the edge or Gamla Stan, just a few minutes walk into Södermalm or to the ferries that can take you around, you are close to everything you’d want to see. There are restaurants, cafes and shops right outside your door. Yet, it somehow remains very quiet. Rooms are VERY small for the money — if you pull the chair out from the desk, you cannot pass. There is no place to really unpack your stuff. Although the room and hotel were kept clean, I arrived to find lots of hairs on my pillows and comforter. They gave me new ones, of course. Shower is very good. No way to make coffee/tea in the room, but you can pay for it downstairs. Staff is friendly and helpful. If you want to stay in Gamla Stan, this may be the best value spot, but you really don’t get a lot for your money — and I am used to staying in expensive cities, like New York and London, where space is also at a premium.

Great location and good breakfast, friendly staff.

Wonderful location. Close to the subway station, or walk 15 minutes to the Central Station. Gamla Stan is the best place to stay in Stockholm.

Great location- clean quaint rooms

A brilliant stay - the breakfast was exceptional with a fantastic selection of food & v helpful staff.

Pretty old building, staff not that friendly.

The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the Metro in Gamla Stan. A nice renovated old buildings with lovely, helpful staff. The room was very comfortable and a reasonable size. Price was certainly less than London. It is convenient to sights, shopping, restaurants and bars, but was very quiet. The breakfast buffet was extensive and very good. I don’t know how they do it every morning! The coffee machine tended to cause a bottleneck, but that was OK. The lift is TINY so beware if you have large bags.

Enjoyed my time staying here. Thanks!

good stay. clean

Excellent location. Central location allows walking to many areas and next to the station to get the train or a ferry. Breakfast was also good.

Fantastic buffet breakfast and very friendly chef

Clean & convenient hotel. Has an old school feel to it; quirky, small, old wooden lift for example! The room was dated, was aiming at cosy but felt like staying in a grandparent’s house that hadn’t been decorated for 20yrs. Weird pictures on the walls! Otherwise, great location for the Old Town, felt safe, staff weren’t that friendly but definitely helpful & the manager was great. Breakfast was a little lacklustre but fine.

Great location conveniently near the T but that means when the windows are open, for the rooms facing the street, you hear the T and it runs 24 hours. the windows, when closed, do a great job reducing the outside noise but the hotel doesn’t have air conditioning so in warmer weather it could be uncomfortable at night. We stayed in early October so it wasn’t a problem for us. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable & the reception staff very nice. No wash cloths in the bathroom so if you use them bring your own. The rooms don’t have coffee makers or kettles. There is a coffee machine in the lobby but guests need to pay per cup, refills are less costly but for the cost of the rooms we didn’t understand the need to charge guests for coffee. Breakfast is offered for a fee, we didn’t have the breakfast to comment about the selection. There is a small roof top patio with seating that we enjoyed. Gamla Stan is an enjoyable area to explore, a bit crowded during the day but very nice to walk around early in the morning & in the evening.

Great location. Staff was friendly. Chef Oscar is the man. I saw all these reviews about the breakfast. I normally go to test the local fare, but this was too good and easy to pass up. LOTS of healthy options which I like and need. Big fan of this place.

On my flight to Stockholm, which was to connect at London Heathrow, we were informed by the captain that there had been a fire at Heathrow and the power was out. Therefore, we returned to America. Because there was no way I would be able to check-in to the property on my arrival date (and, as is standard, the booking would then be cancelled), I as well as Expedia staff contacted the property to explain the situation and request a refund (even though it was non-refundable, because clearly this was a situation out of anyone's control). We were denied. I was offered a flight a few days later by the airline, but by then my reservation at the property was null and void and I was unable to pay for an entirely new stay at a new hotel since nothing had been refunded. I find it unbelievable that a situation which was out of the control of me, the property, the airline, and everyone else does not constitute a legitimate reason to refund the booking. I've stayed at Scandic properties in the past, but never will again.

I stayed here for 2 nights, a Friday and a Saturday. While I would stay here again if needed, there are a few factors that would make me think twice. The good stuff - the service was excellent, the breakfast buffet had lots of good choices (though there were sometimes no tables to eat at in peak times), and the location puts you right in the Old Town area of Stockholm. The beds are comfortable (although they only give you half-sized pillows / cushions for some reason... never had that before). There's a desk in most rooms so you can do some work. Some rooms have bar fridges, some don't; but there is a selection of food and drinks you can buy downstairs if needed. The less-good stuff: The rooms are pretty small - the gap between the end of the bed and the nearest wall might be only 60cm. There's no air conditioning, so even in the Autumn when I was there, it was stuffy and warm in the rooms. The windows open though, so you can let some fresh air in if needed. The big problem I had was that the blinds don't block all light or noise. And in the Old Town there's plenty of people out partying 2am. Really, if they'd add in a rollerblind as well as some thicker drapes that go all-the-way to the walls, I'd probably stay here again. One last issue - this is not a good place if you have mobility issues. There are steps and trip hazards everywhere. (I stubbed my toe every morning going to the bathroom because the bathroom has a 2cm lip under the door.)

We had an excellent stay. The room and bed were comfortable. The staff were excellent as was breakfast. And the location made accessing anywhere in Stockholm easy by foot or transit/ferry.

Loved popping over to secret garden for discounted cava on Tuesdays. Nice breakfast options

The property was great. Oscar in the restaurant in the mornings was the absolute best part of our stay! He is amazing! Thank you for everything Oscar!
