    Charming small hotel in old town - not ideal for business traveler due to wifi limitations
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Single Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Speed of wifi was good, but for unknown reason VPN connection to office was not possible (for business traveler quite a big thing)

    Location within old town. Charming interiors, Nice small library - like a living room for staying guest. Rooftop terrace with a view over old town - but only for sunny days

    We really enjoyed this stay. However, due to the size of the room, the place can be a little challenging if traveling with loads of large bags.

    The hotel is located in a main pedestrian street yet very quite room. The design to reflect the style of old tall ship goes very well with the very compact room that feels like you are in cabin while still providing the necessary commodity

    Breakfast was a bit uninspiring, but perfectly adequate

    A Nelson-themed hotel with statues and drawings of the great man everywhere. The floors are named after decks and there's a strong nautical atmosphere throughout with abundant portholes. Staff very friendly.

    I stayed at a single room, it was a bit too small. Breakfast was more less standard, which can have been a bit better.

    Located in a very convenient place, a center of the old town. A walking distance to many sightseeing spots. The building and its facility is somethig unique, with some special atmosphere, interesting to stay. Room windows are openable, you can get fresh air. TV in the room supports a internet connection, you can enjoy Yutube or something.

    If you have a single room, you’ll have to place your suitcase on the bed to look for something. Space is at a premium, so it will otherwise have to remain upright.

    Location, Location, Location. History at your fingertips and footsteps. A single room is quite small, but everybody should stay in Gamla Stan at least once.

    Our great stay in Victory hotel for St. Valentine

    A small incovinience was the check-in at 15.00, as we arrive earlier (12.00h), and unfortunately the room was not ready. I highlight that this was as announced on the site of the hotel and in the reservation - just no luck for the day of our arrival. The staff was very kind. We gave our luggage for safekeeping (free of charge).

    First, I would like to mention that my review below is for Victory Hotel, part of collectors hotels along with Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton, and not for our initial reservation for Hotel Nelson, as there were renivations going on during our stay. We were proposed to switch hotels and we definetely were happy about this. Attention to details - for example the temporary tatoos (free of charge), the ornamented corridors (like maritime museum). Also the rich breakfast - especially the salmon and herring, which is not typical for other parts of Europe. Special sweets for St. Valentine. Marvelous coffee. Everyone could prepare tea and coffee free of charge on each floor - useful for colder days. Also - the staff prepared a breakfast to go (fresh sandwiches and coffee) at 5.30 a.m., as we have to catch a flight. - Lication - of couse. 5 min walk from all the sites in Gamla Stan. No need to use public transport. Convinient to come back for small rest if needed.

    Loved the historical maritime theme of the hotel. Room was excellent, spacious enough with a large comfy bed and ensuite. Hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Gamla Stan. Nice to stay somewhere a bit different from the norm.

    No fridge, safe or kettle in the room. My fault for not reading the room inclusions perhaps. But certainly not made clear in the booking facilities. Also if there is no kettle to make a cup of tea, or instant coffee, in the room, then why couldn’t you have boiling water in the lobby for when you get home from a long day out to make your own cuppa. Very poor considering you’re charging top dollar for staying in the old town. Breakfast was very ordinary. Again considering you’re paying for an experience, why not have a decent coffee machine instead of an awful coffee pot of brewed ####, sorry. Portioned muesli in a little brown bag! Seriously. Bread that was there for days. The bathroom was tiny. One pump for hair, hands, body. Good on you, no single use plastics, but… Lumpy bed, when you rolled you needed to hang on to the edge. Awful pillow. Serviced once every 3 days. Sure it’s Green, but!!! The girls on staff were great, but we had a few people who had no idea about the local, the tourism possibilities, or recommendations.

    The location in the old town was great, but getting over the cobblestones with a wheel bag is tricky. Not noisy considering it’s on the Main Street. Breakfast was only adequate.

    Too noisy in room 11 and outside light lit up the bathroom all night. Bed too small for us. No kettle in room to make a drink for yourself.

    Room was compact, I had booked a double bed but we had 2 single beds pushed together separate so we may as well asked for twin beds. Breakfast was basic but good value for the money. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Location great 👍 Too noisy in room 11 however and outside light lit up the bathroom all night.
