The welcome was warm. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was well designed and the shower was lovely and powerful. The location was excellent in busy Gamla Stan but still very quiet and relaxing. The breakfast was amazing - loads of choice and well prepared. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel!

Great location, wonderful breakfast. The room typical European room, older small but comfortable. The windows were large and beautiful but a bit of noise from trains nearby and people. It was a bit warm so we tried to leave window cracked open but the noises made that hard. I would stay again just for the location and breakfast.
