    Lovely old style hotel in heart of old town

    Bathroom Very small but shower great. You have to request room cleaning the day before you want it.

    The hotel is in a great location, in the Old town close to many restaurants and the Metro station. Breakfast was excellent.

    Guests should be aware that taxis can only park near the hotel at certain times of the day. You need to factor this in to your plans because you might be required to drag your suitcases along the cobblestone streets to meet the taxi next to the train station. In my situation, the taxi didn't arrive at the entrance to the station, which was my understanding, so after waiting for some time in the windy conditions, I dragged my suitcases back to the hotel to report this, then back again to the station for the taxi. All annoying and difficult for an older woman. This situation can be avoided if you leave within the prescribed time the taxis have to enter the street or catch the train.

    The breakfast was excellent with a variety of hot and cold dishes. I requested porridge a couple of times, which the chef happily prepared for me. The breakfast room was cosy, comfortable and clean.My room was tastefully decorated, the bed comfortable although it was a tight squeeze getting to the other side. Could be more difficult if there are 2 people. The location of the hotel couldn't be in a more convenient place but in a quiet street away from big foot traffic and various noise. Reception was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay at the Gamla Stan and I recommend it highly.

    Staff was helpful but perhaps a bit overworked or overwhelmed. Breakfast was pretty good but even with reserved times tables it was too crowded. My room was pretty small.

    The hotel is within walking distance of trains and boats as well as many major tourist attractions and shopping areas in Gamla Stan. Gamla Stan is expensive so it was a good value for the area. I found my bed very comfortable.

    The room could have had some space to walk around the bed. The bathroom was cramped. Maybe we needed a bigger room.

    Location, breakfast and staff were good. The hotel is unique, has charm and was appreciated. The room had charm as does the hotel.

    Stockholm is an amazing city and staying in Gamla Stan was the best decision.

    Since it was an older building I had to drag suitcases up a some steps outside the hotel and to get to the elevator.

    Location in the old part of Stockholm was perfect, close to everything! Breakfast was great- nice variety. The staff was exceptionally helpful with all questions and requests.

    The room was small and the decor was "tired" - the wooden part of the wall was dirty and the wallpaper had holes in it.

    The breakfast was good. The staff were friendly and the hotel was ideally placed for seeing Gamla Stan.

    Only downside was our bed was very unstable so every time someone moved the whole bed shook. This did impact our sleep

    Lovely romantic hotel with gorgeous roof terrace Right in middle of the old town. Fab location Breakfast may be the best continental we have ever had, and on our last day they let us in for breakfast early and the chef helped us make packed lunch for our travels Nice rooms with clean modern bathrooms and everything you need
