We've stayed at a lot of hotels and this one was a favorite. Friendly helpful staff, excellent breakfast and good location with many dining options. The only thing I would change is the frosted window between the sleeping area and the bathroom as the light makes it hard to sleep during middle of the night bathroom breaks and for privacy reasons while taking a shower.

Staff is wonderful, great buffet breakfast to keep anyone happy. The bathroom did have some mold build up in the caulk around the tub and the bed had a bad spring in it witch you had to try and sleep around. Besides those two minor things it was a great Hotel and would highly recommend.

Birger Jarl was quite nice. The breakfast was great. The staff was personable. The rooms seem small. Our superior king room was about the size of a standard room elsewhere. Overall seems good value for money considering its location in central Stockholm.

Our stay at the Birger Jarl Hotel was overall disappointing, especially considering the high price point and the distance from the main attractions in Stockholm. Despite the glowing reviews I had read beforehand, the experience did not live up to expectations. The location proved inconvenient: most of the places we wanted to visit, particularly south of Central Station and in the Old Town, were a good 30-minute walk away. For families or first-time visitors, I would strongly recommend choosing accommodation closer to Central Station or Gamla Stan. Customer service was underwhelming and lacked the warmth I’ve experienced in other Scandinavian hotels. The welcome was not particularly friendly, and the overall approach felt rushed rather than guest-oriented. Breakfast, while adequate, was not nearly as special as reviews suggested. For a Scandinavian hotel, the offering was standard at best. Guests arriving closer to the end of service should be aware that staff clear away food promptly, with little flexibility or warmth in their approach. Room comfort was mixed. The main bed was fine, but the sofa bed provided for my daughter was poorly thought out—a blanket and sheet on a narrow, elevated sofa. I was concerned about her rolling off, and it did not feel like a safe or suitable sleeping arrangement for a child. Ultimately, I regret booking this hotel based on overly positive reviews. While the hotel seems to aspire to a higher standard, in practice it falls short in terms of

The hotel was within walking distance of all the major attractions and transportation hubs for Stockholm. If you have luggage it’s best to take an uber/taxi to the hotel if arriving via Stockholm’s Central Station. Overall, our stay was fine and the breakfast buffet was definitely the highlight of our stay.
