    Shower box is separated from the rest of the bathroom with a tiny glass wall that only covers one side. Directly in front of the shower is a shelf where I put my overnight bag. The small glass wall doesn’t stop water from flowing all over the bathroom. My overnight bag got soaking wet, as the rest of the bathroom. What’s the point of asking clients to reuse towels when you need all of them to dry up the bathroom after having a shower? The towels also get soaking wet and needed to dry up especially the floor

    Good hotel. Very comfy bed and spacious room

    The shower and the bathtub, it would have been better to only have a shower and not the bathtub. The bathtub was small and not stuck to the wall so all the water flowed to the floor. The bathroom was small

    It was clean

    All in all the stay was great. I love the location. I just would appreciate more help from reception

    I was dissapointed with the staff. I asked two different receptionists for the shortest way to the airport bus and one (blond lady with russian accent) without any smile said "take a taxi" (sorry I didn't want to take a taxi, it is expensive, I am fluent in Swedish and lived in Stockholm for 2 years, I can get around if people help me). Five hours lated I asked a man receptionist if there was a bus to T-Centralen and he said he didn't know. So I had to ask him twice please could you look on internet, which he did, than pointed some direction outside hotel with no smile etc., We went sort of that direction to realise the main road was completely closed for some festival. We took underground which both receptionist said is super easy. Well not if you have 2 suitcases and child. But we managed. I stayed in Birger Jarl last September and the staff was so helpful.

    Breakfast was very good and the food in the restaurant was excellent and excellent value for money.

    Amazing staff. After the Stockholm Marathon we asked if we could refresh before going to the airport. They provided us towels and soap, to fresh up in the toilet for disabled. Very kind, because we already checked out. Breakfast was also top class.

    Hadn’t realised it would have the feel of a business hotel - lots of conferences and people there for work. Not a problem, but hadn’t realised this and felt a bit out of place at times as I was there on holiday!

    Breakfast excellent, smart and clean hotel. Good location to explore.

    The rooms are geared up for business or a short term stay say a weekend as the rooms are small and don’t have a great deal of space for clothing.

    Room was small but adequate. Our bathroom was very small and basically flooded each time we had a shower which wasn’t ideal. The room also needed a mirror near a plug socket which sounds picky, but it was difficult to get ready in the mornings with only the one plug socket in the bathroom. This could be easily rectified with a more accessible mirror. A minor point but Chromecast didn’t work for us.

    Good value hotel in a great location perfect for exploring Stockholm with plenty of transport links nearby. Staff were lovely and really helpful and breakfast was really good with plenty of gluten free options. It was nice and quiet too.

    The bathroom wasn’t very well cleaned.. we found hair in the bathtub, sink, and floor on our night of arrival. The drain was partially clogged.

    Very good location, wonderful neighborhood. Breakfast was very good. Beds were nice size, and the room in general was nice for two people.
