Dining
- Restaurant
- At Restaurant Reisen you dine Swedish-French bistro food in a sober environment. Three things characterize the food at Reisen; personality, tradition and warmth. The warmth of the French cuisine meet the simplicity of the Swedish. As a guest here you can enjoy a bar meny or an a la carte dinner. We also recommend our wine tastings and private dinners i the wine cellar next to the pool under the cellar vaults. There we also offer spa, gym and a sauna next time you gather with friends or clients - something which can be combined with a conference in Per Brahe, for up to 20 people. We also have a unique meeting and event room in the Inner Bar, which can be used for parties, presentations or dinners for up to 80 people.
- Bar
- The Bar at Reisen was nominated for the Swedish daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter's prize Gulddraken, as one of the top three bars in Stockholm, for the second year running. In the bar we have created a cocktail meny where innovative and exciting cocktails and old classics are mixed with cool music. Famous DJs work the turntables at the bar every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. The style ranges from Jazz, Soul, RnB to Pop.

Great Business Hotel - Ask for larger Rooms on 3rd Floor
Great Location, Very nice staff, wonderful breakfast, OK workout room, and amazing Sauna and Cold Dunk Bath! Most rooms are a bit small, just space for a bed and table. Having said that, the front facing rooms which are a little more expensive, look over the river and are really fantastic because of the view. If you are not staying in a front facing room, ask for a larger room on the 3rd floor. These are much nicer than most of the small side facing rooms and the same price. I would stay there again, but stay in either the larger room or the front facing room.

Great Swedish Restaurant out front door to right. At second alley take a right and it is at the end of that street on the right. A little expensive, but great food.

Well appointed, well located
I have nothing but praise for this hotel. Steps away from the bus line that can connect you to the subway/train lines to go anywhere in the city and its suburbs. Pleasant, helpful staff. Clean. beautiful views from the waterview rooms. Breakfast buffet is bounteous. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, were pleased.

Buy a multi-ticket transportation pass to use the busses and trains. Can't buy on bus, so good to be at a Tobac store in advance. Cheaper in multiples. Taxis are incredibly expensive!

Quick weekend in Stockholm
We stayed at the First Hotel Reisen a few days ago. It happened to have been during the Stockholm Triathlon, but getting to and from the hotel was convenient. Great breakfast spread and the lobby bar had some good, fancy drinks.

Very European
Desk personnel fabulous. Location in the Old town across from river, 2 blocks from the Palace was great. Room comfortable but very small. Large breakfast provided. Neat pool and sauna in sub basement in vaulted room but cold (67 degrees).

Perfect location!
Centralized location in Old Town is perfect as a homebase for sight-seeing. Lovely breakfast buffet, helpful staff. Cozy rooms on the small size for americans, but very clean. Upgraded from an alley-view to a water-view which was beautiful & worth it for us. Street noise wasn't too bad and bar is noisy on weekends, so request 4th floor or higher. Overall, highly recommended and wouldn't stay anywhere else.

In Hotel
Dinner prices in restaurants tend to be very expensive, so LOAD up at the breakfast buffet and have a hearty lunch to keep you going throughout the day. You'll need it for all the walking anyway.

In the middle of everything
This hotel had a small but adequate room and free wi-fi. It was a whole block away from Gamla Stan and the Palace. Parking was a hassle but, the hotel offered an overnight parking service. Extensive breakfast as well

Great central location in Gamla Stan
GREAT service and location in Gamla Stan. it was an abnormally hot week and lack of air conditioning and noisy traffic made it difficult to stay cool at nights. The traffic noise was because i had asked for an upgrade in order to get a wonderful sea view, so the noise was self inflicted

Excellent Hotel EXCEPT no A/C
Wonderful Hotel. Wonderful Location. Excellent Rooms. Fabulously friendly Staff and good breakfast. Only problem was NO air conditioning during the hot summer months and they were having a heat wave. Room had a sauna in it! Upgrades were very inexpensive. LOVED this hotel - just wish it had been cooler weather so the lack of A/C would not have mattered.
