Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
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.

A hidden gem, great location. Hotel is older but well maintained. Breakfast was a nice surprise, hadn’t realized it was included and was delicious. Great variety, not a standard European breakfast, beautiful presentation and chef was very pleasant, even offered to open early if we needed so we could eat before our flight. You won’t be disappointed

Good little hotel on the edge of the old city. Convenient to transportation and walkable to many places. For an old hotel the room and bathroom were surprisingly spacious. Glad they have an elevator, small as it is. Breakfast buffet included was excellent.
