Excellent breakfast and great location.
The nighttime bar staff were rude and condescending.
Fantastic stay, staff are always really friendly, welcoming and considerate, the hotel itself is lovely and in a great area of Stockholm. It's now our go-to whenever we go back to Sweden. Breakfast is included and till late on the weekends and well worth having. Rooms have a lovely vibe to them and features like the curated selection of CDS and DVDs, the heated floor and speaker in the bathroom and integrated iron in the cupboard are a few small examples of the level detail and consideration that's reflected across the hotel. We have also eaten in the ground floor restaurant and the lobby bar all of which were great.
This is a very nice hotel but I do not understand the bed system. Two twin beds pushed together just never makes sense to me. How do people snuggle up? The two beds would just push apart and create a giant gap to fall into!Another hotel we stayed at had two twin foundations, but the top layer was a single unit so nobody fell off the bed! And there was no gap.
The beds!
Really enjoyed staying here! Very clean and comfortable . The breakfast was excellent. We had an early flight the day we checked out and they had food waiting for us to take since we couldn’t do breakfast . Great hotel!
I stayed 4 nights fir work and enjoyed it greatly. Service in the restaurant was superb
Hotel located in a charming area, with a theater and a bar at the entrance that give it a very special atmosphere. The staff is young, friendly, and always helpful.One night I spilled tea on the bed, and the cleaning lady, Claudia, kindly came to change the sheets; she was very polite and attentive.I recommend it to everyone: it is a hotel full of charm, where you can truly feel the Swedish cinematic culture. The breakfast is varied and of excellent quality.
everything perfect
Excellent breakfast, the room was clean and very cosy with an awesome view at the park. We were lucky enough to see some snow the days we spent there. The shower was amazing, pressure, cleanliness and amenities were spot on.
Location, staff and breakfast all excellent
Room was quite small
Great location, beautiful hotel room on the 6th floor with a balcony and a view, the bed was heavenly, the lounge area and the breakfast was excellent.
A warm reception greeted us on arrival and staff went out of their way to recommend and book good local restaurants - all of which were excellent and within walking distance. The hotel was very well located being a fifteen minute walk from the interesting Gamla Stan. We all enjoyed relaxing in the stylish comfortable bar areas and there were excellent well presented breakfast buffet choices
Great StaffExcellent breakfast Good location
No tea or coffee in the room
Location, the room, breakfast, staff.
The staff were warm and very helpful, the hotel was beatifully decorated, the rooms were comfy and the breakfast was top notch
Loved this hotel! From the friendliness of the staff (exceptional) to the design to the small surprises like the teddy bear in the room - everything was great. Very comfy beds and pillows (from pillpwmenu) and nice breakfast.
Wonderfully friendly staff; super comfy rooms; fantastic breakfast; great to have the coffee station, pillow menu, CDs and chocolates in the rooms.
Perfectly located. Loved the interior design. Staff members were super
Would have loved a Nespresso machine in the room, instead of trekking to the 4th floor for a paper cup pre-made fix
Friendliness was above and beyond. Room was impeccably clean. Breakfast was unexpectedly included. Close to the metro and walking distance to the old city and palace. They even packed us a morning breakfast for our check out day!
Honestly, nothing. One of the best hotels i have stayed in for the price.
