    The room itself was quite small and tired, with scuffed paintwork due to the limited space between the bottom of the bed and the wall. That said, you don't spend the majority of your time there, so it was big enough. The shower had very good water pressure and was a good size. The biggest complaint was there was no tea or coffee facilities in the room (although these were available in reception) nor was there a fridge for your own bottles of water. Overall no regrets about staying here, but there were areas for improvement from the hotel.

    Fabulous location and very comfortable bed! The breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide choice of, mainly, cold food although there was hot bacon and scrambled eggs. There was a separate vegan and gluten free station with a wide selection of alternative milks available for anyone to have. There is a rooftop area you can sit on, although they missed a trick by not having a bar up there! Gamla Stan is a great place to stay, loads of history right on your doorstep and convenient for exploring further afield. The hotel is about 90 seconds from the metro station and there are dozens of good restaurants and bars within 5 minutes

    See above. The room was quite small and there was very little storage so we lived out of our suitcases. If the weather had been rainy it would have felt a bit cramped. Only one chair, a desk chair. However, it was fine for 4 nights, for the price.

    Location was good, but the area clearly for tourists. The sense of an old neighborhood is absent. I believe a lot of the buildings are now office space, especially upper floors. The rest are to support the tourists. But there’s still a lot of charm. We liked the bedside lighting so one could actually read a book in bed. That seems rare these days.

    Rooms are a little on the smaller side, but fine. Performing laundry was super expensive (but this is probably a third party cost, not the hotel).

    Great location, right in the heart of old town. Fantastic staff, always very helpful and the chef was absolutely wonderful - definitely a highlight of the stay! Breakfast was outstanding.

    Not a good choice if you plan a stay of more than two days and want to unpack. Room very small which is ok if there are shelves or drawers but not the case here. Closet tiny. We travel with just carry on bags but no room for even those. Maybe we chose the least expensive Booking.com option, but beware.

    Location superb. Nice staff, ok breakfast. Gamla Stan is certainly touristy but we are tourists!!!

    Rooms very small Matrass urgently needs replacement- I could feel all the springs. Besides, it was very soft but that this is a matter of personal taste The plates used at the breakfast were very used and were not entirely clean. Better to replace them as well

    The rooms were a bit small. The shower was a bit tricky as it was only a half door, so the floor got very wet every time I showered. The beds were extremely soft.

    The breakfast was amazing! Anything you would want was available. It was a scheduled breakfast time which was kind of a bummer, but it worked out ok.

    Nothing really. The hotel was as it presented itself.

    This is a simply presented hotel in a great location in the old town. Whilst it looked a bit bland from the outside it had character and the room was comfortable and well equipped. We had a standard room and the bathroom was quite small, but manageable with a good shower. The hotel put on a very well presented breakfast buffet. Whilst there is no bar or restaurant it is right in the middle of an area with plenty of options. The reception staff were cheerful, helpful and efficient. One nice feature of the hotel is a roof terrace - a good place to take a coffee and enjoy the Swedish sun. It was very well located for getting around Stockholm, either on foot or via the nearby metro station and the excellent public transport system.

    The room was a bit small and there was no closet. Also the sockets were near the middle of the bed so we couldn’t charge while we were laying down and the bed was a bit small but overall a nice and cozy room

    Clean and beautiful room, friendly staff and very nice breakfast. Awesome location in the heart of Gamla stan and a two minute walk from the metro station.
