    No safe in room

    Great location and good value for money. Lost a few marks for not having a safe in room. The hotel’s cleaning policy is on demand only, which I’m happy with, but it made getting a refill of coffee a bit more difficult to track down. The best part, by a country mile, is the rooftop bar, with a cracking view of the city. Unbeatable.

    My husband understood that breakfast went until 10:30 am so one day we came down at 9:25 am. As we were trying to serve ourselves the staff was literally ripping the serving dishes out of our hands. It was a frantic rush to try to get some food as quickly as we could before it was all gone. They were rude and it was unnecessary to take the food out of our hands. Do not be late for breakfast if you stay here!! It is tasty and you don't want to miss out. The front desk staff was super friendly though, just not the breakfast room staff.

    Tasty breakfast and location was awesome! Room felt like a dormroom but we didn't come to Stockholm to hang out in our room. Rooftop was cute and when the room was hot, the staff provided us with a fan!

    The room is very small with a wall pulldown bed for a twin-share room, not value for money. There was super loud music from the opposite building started from 830pm! It was disturbing when you want to rest after a tired day!

    Location near metro station & Old town, very convenient.

    Rooms not being able to be cooled down - too warm for us aussies in summer.

    This location is fantastic - a short walk to Gamla Stan and the city. The staff were super helpful - moving us from a room with no windows to one with a window to allow for some air circulation, as we found the rooms quite warm for summer. Drinks on the roof top bar were lovely - great staff and brilliant view. Breakfast was in abundance.

    When booking a room, the description clearly stated that the room would have a bathtub, which was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel. However, upon arrival, it turned out that the hotel only has a few rooms with bathtubs, and the room assigned to me only had a shower. When I inquired if it was possible to switch to a room with a bathtub, I was informed that no such rooms were available. This situation was disappointing, as a service was offered that was not actually available. The hotel showed obvious signs of wear and tear, which wasn't what I expected. It was okay for a short stay, but not worth the price I paid. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and the misleading information makes it hard to trust the hotel’s services.

    The room was clean and well-maintained, which was a positive start to the stay. The receptionist was not only friendly but also highly professional, making the check-in process smooth and welcoming. The hotel's location was convenient, offering easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. Additionally, the breakfast was satisfactory, providing a decent selection of options to start the day. Overall, these aspects contributed positively to the experience.

    Being on the highest level without air conditioning, the room got quite hot with no ventilation if you didn’t have the window open and it wasn’t even the peak of Summer. Noisy if you did. The bed was average, but pillows lacked any substance. Little to no bench space in bathroom. They did not clean our room when request had been made at check-in. Towels were provided from Reception when notified, though.

    We had a roof-top room with a balcony and sea-view, which was just beautiful. The room was ample for our needs, which had to fit all our motorbike luggage and riding gear. Roof-top bar was great and staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. You had to book your time slot, though this was not heavily enforced. Parking was expensive, but glad to have it available as parking in the area is limited. Convenient to walk to Old Town and any public transport.

    I'd prefer a small fridge in the room, as I had to throw out some food upon arrival. I'd prefer a hot tub over the sauna to unwind and relax. I thought the room itself was rather small and cramped. I thought the bed was kind of stiff.

    Breakfast was really diverse and convenient and satisfying. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was convenient being in downtown close to all the attractions.

    The outside of the building there is so much construction that it’s quite an eyesore and you need to walk only in certain areas. The rooftop lounge is very small and too crowded to sit down for the amount of guests that were there. No herring at breakfast. Twice in the middle of the day the water cooler in the lobby had warm water and was almost completely empty.

    The staff was helpful. At the breakfast there was wonderful sprouts and a pair of scissors for the guests to cut the sprouts-very nice touch.. view from the roof top lounge is spectacular.

    We had a two person standard room and it was quite small. The window had a wire on so it couldnt open more than 5 centimeters. And there wasn't any air con in the room so the air was not too great. Also the breakfast wasn't as impressive as the reviews said.

    The location was excellent and the hotel was in general nice

    The roof terrance’s waiters didn’t work very active on their sales. Not a single word when collecting empty bottels and glasses. Didn’t feel very welcomed there, like us customers were here to disturb those guys with our presence and orders.

    Good service attitude at the front desk. We were at the hotel at 10:30 and they managed to get a room for us even it says check-in stars at 16:00. Nice fluffy extra pillows. All places neet and tidy.
