Came back and enjoyed my stay again.

The service by hotel staff was great. The room was clean. The room had a nice view. Breakfast offering was good. The rooftop area was a great place to go up to and have your breakfast or read a book. If you need a snack or coffee throughout the day (or night) the small lobby offerings were great.

Walking distance to the Royal palace. Restaurants all around. It is right next to the sea. There may be some rooms facing the sea but ours was not. The staff was very friendly and gave us helpful tips because it was our first time visiting the city. Minor issues: It has a tiny lobby and there are some steps going up to the hotel.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. We were very appreciative that our request, made just that morning, to have a room on a lower floor because of recent medical issues, was honored. The receptionist also tägave us great advice about where to get an excellent traditional Swedish dinner.

Best part about this hotel is the location - it is centrally located to most attractions and public transport. Very quiet on the room we had facing the courtyard. Bed was decently comfortable but nothing particularly special and the room was warm. Breakfast was fine but the dining room was crowded; they booked us in to a specific time but I have the feeling nobody paid attention and just came when they wanted. Only real negative is the walls and floors of the room we had was dated and could really use a refresh. Doesn't deserve 5 stars but if you need a decent hotel for a city break, this will certainly work.

Don’t stay at the weekend - nightclub noise

This is a nice traditional Swedish hotel with an excellent breakfast. The rooms are small but this is to be expected in the old town. I do not recommend staying at this hotel at the weekend though if you value your sleep. The noise of the nightclub next door went on until 3 in the morning and we needed two sets of ear plugs and two fans to cover it. We got little rest as a result which made our weekend in Stockholm much less enjoyable. The hotel would not refund us for the room despite the noise but gave back a small amount we had paid for an additional breakfast.
