Don’t stay at the weekend - nightclub noise
This is a nice traditional Swedish hotel with an excellent breakfast. The rooms are small but this is to be expected in the old town. I do not recommend staying at this hotel at the weekend though if you value your sleep. The noise of the nightclub next door went on until 3 in the morning and we needed two sets of ear plugs and two fans to cover it. We got little rest as a result which made our weekend in Stockholm much less enjoyable. The hotel would not refund us for the room despite the noise but gave back a small amount we had paid for an additional breakfast.

A hidden gem, great location. Hotel is older but well maintained. Breakfast was a nice surprise, hadn’t realized it was included and was delicious. Great variety, not a standard European breakfast, beautiful presentation and chef was very pleasant, even offered to open early if we needed so we could eat before our flight. You won’t be disappointed

Good little hotel on the edge of the old city. Convenient to transportation and walkable to many places. For an old hotel the room and bathroom were surprisingly spacious. Glad they have an elevator, small as it is. Breakfast buffet included was excellent.

Very centrally situated in the historic area which was great for getting around but also made it quite noisy!

So easy to get to from the metro. So many restaurants and shops nearby. The room was the perfect size. The only downside was how close to the metro it was because it was very loud all night long.

I loved the location in Old Town. There were many dining and shopping options in the surrounding blocks. Also it was very close to Metro, Bus, and Commuter Ferry stops. The facilities were very nice, excellent breakfast.

The property has charm and is located close to what we wanted to see. The morning breakfast was excellent. The “old town” location comes with some noise challenges from the Metro trains and service trucks. Keeping windows open adds noise. It may not be practical, but a/c units in guest rooms are called for.
